the blades. Only touch the blade assembly housing when handling the
blades. Handle with care when cleaning.
Note:
Ensure the appliance is properly assembled and the blade is properly
attached before connecting the plug into the power outlet. Never turn
the appliance on without the lid or refill lid. Never turn the appliance on
without the glass jug properly placed on the motor block. Never place
only the holder or the blade only on the motor block. Never touch the
drive gear when the plug is connected to the power outlet.
WARNING: If the blade is mounted in the glass jug, the glass jug is
positioned on the motor block, and the plug is connected to the power
outlet, do not insert your fingers, a wooden or plastic spoon or similar
cooking utensils or foreign substances in the glass jug. Always take the
glass jug off the motor block before pushing the food down with a spoon.
WARNING: Never combine the glass jug and the holder without the
blade. Without the blade the bottom of the glass jug is open. Liquids
could spill and might damage the motor block.
Without the glass jug, the appliance does not work.
WARNING: Do not overfill the glass jug. If necessary, take some food
out of the glass jug, using a wooden or plastic spoon, before starting the
appliance again.
• Do not chop extremely hard food, such as nuts with shell or bones to
avoid overrunning, spurt out or that the motor stalls or gets stuck during
operation because the blade is blocked.
WARNING: Do not operate the appliance when the glass jug has a
crack or any part of it is likely to be damaged. The appliance is likely to
be damaged if the appliance was subject to inadmissible strain (i.e. over-
heating, mechanical, or electric shock) or if there are any cracks, exces-
sively frayed parts, distortions or the motor stalls or stucks. In this case,
immediately unplug the appliance and return the entire appliance (inclu-
ding all parts and accessories) to an authorised service centre for exami-
nation and repair.
WARNING: Do not fill ingredients into the glass jug which exceed a
