packaging material and promotional
labels before using the Blender Processor
for the first time.

• To eliminate a choking hazard for young
children, remove and safely discard the
protective cover fitted to the power plug
of this Blender Processor.

• Do not place the Blender Processor
near the edge of a bench or table
during operation. Ensure the surface
is level, clean and free of water and
other substances.

• Do not use the Blender Processor on a
sink drain board.

• Do not place the Blender Processor on
or near a hot gas or electric burner, or
where it could touch a heated oven.

• Handle the Blender Processor and
attachments with care – remember
the blades and discs are razor sharp
and should be kept out of the reach
of children.

• Use the blade protector when storing
the processing blade.

• Always ensure the Blender Processor
is completely assembled before
operating.

• The appliance will not operate unless
properly assembled.

• Ensure the control dial is in the ‘OFF’
position and the Blender Processor is
switched off at the power outlet and
the power cord is unplugged before
attaching the processing blade, discs,
Food Processor lid or Blending jug.

• Always secure the Food Processor bowl
onto the motor base before attaching
the processing blade or discs.

• Always secure the blade assembly onto
the Blender jug before attaching to the
motor base.

• Ensure the Food Processor lid is securely
locked in place before operating.

• Always operate the blender function
with the Blender jug lid in position.

• Do not remove the Food Processor bowl
from the motor base whilst in operation.

• Do not remove the Blender lid and

• Keep fingers, hands, knives and other
utensils away from moving blades
and discs.

• Do not place hands or fingers into the
Food Processor bowl unless the motor,
processing blade and discs have come
to a complete stop. Ensure the control
dial is in the ‘OFF’ position and the
appliance is switched off at the power
outlet and the power cord is unplugged
before removing the lid from the
Food Processor bowl.

• Ensure the motor and processing blade
or discs have completely stopped
before disassembling. Ensure the control
dial is in the ‘OFF’ position and the
appliance is switched off at the power
outlet and the power cord is unplugged
from the power outlet before attempting
to move the appliance, when not in
use, if left unattended and before
disassembling, cleaning or storing.

• Do not use attachments other than
those provided with the Blender
Processor.

• Do not attempt to operate the Blender
Processor by any method other than
those described in this booklet.

• Care should be taken when removing
the food from the Food Processor bowl
by ensuring the motor and the processing
blade or disc, have completely stopped
before disassembling. Ensure the control
dial is turned to the ‘OFF’ position, the
appliance is switched off at the power
outlet and unplugged, before removing
the Food Processor lid from the Food
Processor bowl. The Food Processor
bowl should then be unlocked from the
motor body and the processing blade
or disc holder carefully removed before
attempting to remove the processed food.

• Care should be taken when removing
the food from the Blender jug by
ensuring the motor and the blades
have completely stopped before
disassembling. Ensure the control dial
is turned to the ‘OFF’ position, the
appliance is switched off at the power

the lid from the Blender jug. The Blender
jug should then be unlocked from the
motor body and the food carefully
removed before attempting to remove
the blade assembly.

• Do not operate the Food Processor
continuously for periods longer than 3
minutes on any setting or if processing
a heavy load. None of the recipes in

continuously for too long, it should be
allowed to rest for about 30 minutes
before recommencing.

• Do not operate the Blender continuously
for periods longer than 1 minute on any

cause the dough blade to rotate more
slowly than normal. In this unlikely event
of an excessive load, do not operate
the Food Processor continuously with
excessive load for more than 1 minute.

• Do not process hot or boiling liquids –
allow liquids to cool before placing
