Safety Notices
To avoid the risk of a potentially fatal electric shock:
•Ensure that the motor block, the power cable and the power plug are never submersed in water or other fluids.
•Only use the appliance in dry rooms, never use it outdoors or in moist environments.
•Make sure that the power cable never becomes wet or damp during operation. Lay the cable such that it does not get clamped or otherwise damaged.
•Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be replaced at once by qualified technicians or our Customer Service Department.
•Always remove the plug from the power socket after use. Switching off the appliance is not suffi- cient because the appliance receives power as long as the power plug is connected to the socket.
•Check to ensure that the appliance is in a service- able condition before taking it into use. The ap- pliance may not be used if there is recognisable damage on it, especially to the motor block and the glass mixing jug.
•Immediately remove the plug from the socket should you hear or smell anything unexpected from the appliance when it is in use or there is an evident malfunction.
To avoid overheating and the risk of fire:
•Do not use the appliance in locations with direct sunlight or in the vicinity of heat generating ap- pliances.

Allow these to cool to a handwarm temperature. Otherwise, the appliance could overheat and/ or the glass of the mixing jug could crack!
