• NEVER operate the appliance when it is empty,  
i.e. without ingredients in the mixing attachment.  
Safety Notices  
ƽ To reduce the risk of fire or injury:  
• NEVER insert your hand or fingers in the mixing  
jug, especially when it is in use. The cutters are  
extremely sharp!  
ƽ To avoid the risk of a potentially  
fatal electric shock:  
• Ensure that the motor block, the power cable and  
the power plug are never submersed in water or  
other fluids.  
• Only use the appliance in dry rooms, never use  
it outdoors or in moist environments.  
• Make sure that the power cable never becomes  
wet or damp during operation. Lay the cable  
such that it does not get clamped or otherwise  
damaged.  
• DO NOT open the cover when the appliance is  
in operation. Should you do so, pieces of the  
foodstuff could be thrown out at high speeds!  
• Do not insert cutlery items or mixing tools into  
the mixing jug when the appliance is in use.  
There is a considerable risk of injury should these  
make contact with the swiftly rotating cutters!  
• In order to be able to react immediately in the  
event of danger, always have the appliance  
under supervision when it is in use.  
• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables  
to be replaced at once by qualified technicians  
or our Customer Service Department.  
• This appliance is not intended for use by indivi-  
duals (including children) with restricted physical,  
physiological or intellectual abilities or deficiences  
in experience and/or knowledge unless they are  
supervised by a person responsible for their safety  
or receive from this person instruction in how the  
appliance is to be used.  
• Always remove the plug from the power socket  
after use. Switching off the appliance is not suffi-  
cient because the appliance receives power as  
long as the power plug is connected to the socket.  
• Check to ensure that the appliance is in a service-  
able condition before taking it into use. The ap-  
pliance may not be used if there is recognisable  
damage on it, especially to the motor block and  
the glass mixing jug.  
• Immediately remove the plug from the socket  
should you hear or smell anything unexpected  
from the appliance when it is in use or there is  
an evident malfunction.  
• Children should be supervised to ensure that  
they do not play with the appliance.

ƽ To avoid overheating and the  
risk of fire:  
• Do not use the appliance in locations with direct  
sunlight or in the vicinity of heat generating ap-  
pliances.  
This appliance is not intended for ...

The C.O. Time (Continuous Operation) details how  
long an appliance may be used without the motor  
overheating and being damaged. When the specified  
C.O. Time has been reached, the appliance must be  
switched off until the motor has cooled itself down.

Unpacking  
• Remove all packaging materials or protective fo-  
ils from the appliance. Retain the packaging, so  
that you can store the appliance with protection  
or send it by post, e.g. should it need repair.  
• Before taking the appliance into use, check to  
ensure that it is free of damage, check also that  
the power cable and plug as well as all accesso-  
ries and appliance parts are undamaged.  
• Carefully clean all components before taking the  
appliance into use for the first time  
Preparing for use  
When all components have been cleaned as described  
under “Cleaning”:  
Position the appliance such that, ...  
– that the power cable  
passes through the re-  
y
cess at the rear of the appliance,  
– the power plug is immediately accessible, so that  
it can be quickly withdrawn in the event of  
danger.  
(see “Cleaning”).  
– that it is stable and not liable to slip, and such  
that the suction cups find a firm hold so that the  
appliance cannot tip over due to vibration.  
– that the power cable  
is not in the working  
y
area and thus not presenting a risk of being inad-  
vertently snagged and tipping the appliance  
over.
