Safeguards for Daily Operation

• The appliance is designed for normal household quantities. Do not operate or store the
appliance outdoors or in damp or wet areas. Do not operate the appliance in continuous
operation for more than 1 minute to avoid overheating. If processing large quantities of
food, regularly interrupt the operation and unplug the appliance for a few minutes, allow
the motor to cool down.

• Do not attempt to operate the appliance using any parts or accessories not recommen­ded by the manufacturer (i.e. blending tool, whisk or gear box). Especially the whisk
and blending tool are sensitive to careless handling. Do not operate the appliance, when
the appliance or any part of it is likely to be damaged, to avoid risk of fire, electric shock
or any other damage or injuries to persons. Do not attempt to open the motor housing or
to repair the power cord. Check the entire appliance regularly for proper operation.
The appliance is likely to be damaged if the appliance was subject to inadmissible strain
(i.e. overheating, mechanical or electric shock) or if there are any cracks, excessively
frayed parts, distortions or the gear stalls or sticks. In this case, immediately unplug
the appliance and return the entire appliance (including all parts and accessories) to an
authorised service centre for examination and repair.

• Always IMMEDIATELY unplug the appliance after use and before assembling or
disassembling the whisk or blending tool and before laying down the appliance. Always
use the whisk in conjunction with the appropriate whisk gear box. Always ensure, that the
appliance is assembled correctly before connecting the appliance to the mains power
supply. Always handle the entire appliance and the tools with care and without violence.

• Do not lift, pull or carry the appliance by the processing tools (i.e. whisk, blending tool).

children cannot reach it.

• Operate the appliance on a well accessible, stable, level, dry, and suitable large table or
counter. Always unplug the appliance before laying it down. Do not place the appliance

Important Safeguards for all Electrical Appliances

• Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage
requirements of the appliance (220/240 V, 50 Hz, AC). Always connect the appliance
directly to a mains power supply wall socket with protective conductor (earth/ground)
connected properly. The installation of a residual current safety switch with a maximum rated
residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly
recommended. If in doubt, contact your local electrician for further information.
Do not use any multiple desk socket.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended while connected to the power supply.
