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 6 minutes to avoid overheating. If processing large quantities of
food, interrupt operation after 6 minutes and unplug the appliance for at least 10 minutes,
to let the motor cool down.

• Do not attempt to operate the appliance using any parts or accessories not recommended
by the manufacturer (i.e. processing tools). Especially the whisks and dough hooks 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 overheating, 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. During operation do not block the ventilation slits at the front and back
of the appliance.

• Always IMMEDIATELY unplug the appliance after each operation and befo-

re assembling or disassembling the whisks or dough hooks and before lay­ing down the appliance. Only use the processing tools in matched pairs and
insert each processing tool in its assigned tool hole in the bottom of the
motor housing. Do not use whisks and dough hooks together. Always ensure,

that the processing tools are engaged firmly before connecting the appliance to the mains
power supply (see Operation). Always handle the entire appliance and the tools with care
and without violence. Use the eject button, to remove the tools.

• Do not lift, pull or carry the appliance by the processing tools. To move or operate the
appliance, always hold on to the handle.

• Before use, always make sure that the appliance is properly and completely assembled
(see Operation).

let young children play with any parts of the appliance or the packing. The appliance is
NOT intended for use by children or infirm persons without supervision. Take care that no
one will pull the appliance by the power cord, especially when young children are near.
Place the appliance on a clean, dry and stable surface where it is protected from inadmis­sible strain (i.e. mechanical or electric shock, overheating, frost, moisture, direct sunlight)
and where young children cannot reach it.

• Operate the appliance on a well accessible, stable, level, dry, and suitable large table or
counter. Do not place the appliance or any part of it on or near hot surfaces (heater, gas
burner, grill or oven). When processing hot food, do not hold the appliance in rising steam,
to avoid condensation on the appliance. Do not place the appliance near the edge of the
table or counter or on inclined or wet surfaces or where it can fall. Always unplug the appli­ance before laying it down. Place the appliance on a stable and level surface on its side or
in an upright position on its back cover. If the appliance is in upright position, take care not
to knock over the appliance.

• Do not immerse the motor housing or power cord in water or any other liquid. Do not pour
or drip any liquids on the motor housing or power cord. When liquids are spilled on the
motor housing, immediately unplug the appliance and dry the motor housing to avoid risk
of electric shock or fire. Do not attempt to operate the appliance, when liquids are on or in
the motor housing. With the appliance connected to the power supply, do not touch the
appliance with wet hands or when the appliance is damp or wet or is touching wet surfa­ces. In this case do not touch the appliance but immediately unplug the power cord
from the power supply and dry the appliance (see Care and Cleaning). Only the proces­sing tools (dough hooks or whisks) may be cleaned in an automatic dishwasher.

• Do not place the motor housing or power cord in an automatic

dishwasher!

• To avoid damage, do not use any abrasive cleaners, corrosive chemicals (i.e. disinfec­tants, bleach) or cleaning pads for cleaning. Do not use any hard or sharp utensils for ope­ration or cleaning. Keep the appliance away from sharp edges. Do not leave any food dry
on the surfaces of the appliance.

• The appliance is intended for blending and mixing food only. Do not use the appliance
for any other purpose, especially, do not process any liquids containing inflam-

mable or corrosive solvents (i.e. paint or lacquer). Fumes of volatile solvents
coming in contact with the motor, could catch fire and explode!
