• 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.

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.
