IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
The appliance is driven electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power
socket to connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating
of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (230 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for at least 10 A).
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is
strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to
incompatible norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries
do not meet the requirements for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad, ensure that safe operation is possible.
• Do not use any desk top multi socket outlet, external timer, or remote control systems. Do not use an extension cord.
• Always handle power cords with care. The pins of the power plug must be smooth
and clean. Always completely unwind the power cord before use. Do not place the
appliance on a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted, twisted, pulled,
strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the
31
table or counter. The power cord may not touch hot surfaces or sharp edges. Ensure
that no one will pull the appliance by the power cord. Take care not to entangle in
the power cord. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the power cord. Do not touch
the appliance or power plug with wet hands when the appliance is connected to
the power supply.
• Always ensure that the motor base and the exterior of the jar and blade assembly are completely dry, before assembling/operating the appliance, to avoid risk of
electric shock or fire. DO NOT drip or spill any liquids on the motor base or power
cord. When liquids overflow, run out, or are spilled on the motor base or power
cord, immediately unplug the appliance. Thereafter, clean the appliance and let it
dry for at least 1 day (see: 'Care and Cleaning').
• In the base of the blade assembly, there is a silicone gasket seal ensuring an airtight fit with the jars. The gasket seal may become loose during cleaning and food
may stick to the gasket seal due to operation. Thus, after cleaning, ensure that the
gasket seal is properly in place and clean.
• Do not attempt to operate the appliance without the blade assembly screwed properly and completely leak-free onto the jar to avoid risk of injuries and damage!
See: 'Preparation'.
MOVING PARTS—RISK OF INJURIES
WARNING! The »Design Micro Blender« is designed for processing food. For
this purpose, extremely sharp blades are rotating on high speed. Thus, improper
handling could cause severe injuries and damage. Please keep this in mind.
• Do not insert your hands or any foreign objects (e.g. clothes, brushes, cooking
utensils) in the coupling on top of the motor base, with the appliance connected
to the power supply. Always unplug the appliance before cleaning or moving the
appliance.
• DO NOT try to defeat the safety interlock. Do not attempt to operate the appliance
with the jar or blade assembly damaged or leaking in any way.
• The blades of the blade assembly are very sharp. When handling the blade
assembly, always hold it by the base. Do not touch the blades. Do not attempt to
sharpen the blades. Do not attempt to disassemble the blade assembly in any way.
• Ensure to fasten the blade assembly securely on the jar, before placing the jar onto
the motor base. The threads of the jars, blade assembly, and lids may not be overtightened or tilted to avoid leakage and damage to the threads.
