important safeguards

Follow basic safety precautions, including:

1 The blender must only be used by or under the direct

supervision of a responsible adult. Use and store the
blender out of reach of children.

2 Don’t put the motor unit in liquid, don’t use it in a

bathroom, near water, or outdoors.

3 Unplug before assembling, dismantling, or cleaning.

4 The safety interlock prevents the motor running without

the jug. Don’t use it to switch the blender on and off.
5 Switch off (0) before fitting the jug to the motor unit.
6 Switch off (0) and wait till the blades come to a complete

stop before removing the lid from the jug, and before

removing the jug from the motor unit.

7 Don’t fill with anything hotter than you can comfortably

handle (i.e. liquid temperature below 40°C).
8 When blending hot liquids, put a hand on the lid to hold it

in place.
9 Don’t put your hand into the jug, even after it’s been

removed for cleaning – the blades are sharp.

11 Take great care when handling the blade unit.
12 Don’t put anything other than ingredients into the jug

while the blender is plugged in.

13 Don’t leave the blender unattended while plugged in.
14 Sit the motor unit on a dry, firm, level surface.
15 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be

tripped over or caught.

16 Keep the blender and cable away from sources of heat.

17 Don’t let the jug overflow. If liquid gets under the motor

unit, it may be sucked into the motor, damaging it.

18 Don’t fill the jug above the 1500ml mark, or the contents

may force the lid off when you start the motor.

19 Don’t run the motor for more than 3 minutes, or it may

overheat. After 3 minutes, let it cool for at least 3 minutes.

20 Don’t use the blender for any purpose other than those

described in these instructions.

21 Don’t run the blender empty, it may overheat.
22 Don’t use the blender if it’s damaged or malfunctions.
