important safeguards

Follow basic safety precautions, including:

1 The blender must only be used by a responsible adult. Use and store it out of reach of

children.

2 Don’t put the motor unit in liquid, don’t use the blender in a bathroom, near water,

or outdoors.

3 Unplug before dismantling or cleaning.

4 The blender is fitted with a safety switch to prevent the motor operating unless the jug is in

place. Don’t use this to switch the blender on and off.

5 Turn the selector to 0, and wait till the blades come to a stop, before removing the lid from

the jug, or removing the jug from the motor unit.

6 Don’t use the blender unless the lid is in place.

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 you’ve removed it from the motor unit – the

blades are sharp.

10 Take great care when handling the jug base and blades.
11 Don’t put any other object (spoon, spatula, etc.) into the jug while the blender is plugged in.
12 Don’t leave the blender unattended while plugged in.
13 Sit the motor unit on a dry, firm, level surface, near a power socket.
14 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
15 Don’t let the jug overflow. If liquid gets under the motor unit, it may be sucked into the motor,

damaging it.

16 Don’t fill the jug above the 1.8 litre mark – if you do, the contents may force the lid off when

you start the motor.

17 Don’t run the motor for more than one minute at a time, then leave it for a minute to cool

down before using it again.

18 Don’t run the blender empty, it may overheat.
19 Keep the blender and the cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.
20 Don’t fit any attachment or accessory other than those we supply.
