∙ Every time the appliance is used, the
main body including the power cord as
well as any attachment fi tted should
be checked thoroughly for any defects.
Should the appliance, for instance, have
been dropped onto a hard surface, or if
excessive force has been used to pull
the power cord, it must no longer be
used: even invisible damage may have
adverse effects on the operational safety
of the appliance.
∙ The appliance should only be placed on
a level surface. Do not allow the housing
or its power cord to come into contact
with open fl ames or any hot surfaces
such as hot-plates.
∙ Do not let the power cord hang free.
∙ Caution: Do not fi t the blade unit onto
the motor unit without a blender jug
fi tted.
∙ Do not touch any moving parts during
operation - this can be extremely
dangerous.
∙ When removing the plug from the wall
socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
∙ No responsibility will be accepted if
damage results from improper use, or if
these instructions are not complied with.
Blender jugs
∙ This appliance comes with two blender
jugs and two lids. For practical storage,
the lids may be attached to the base
of the jugs. To close a jug, fi t the lid
und screw it on tight. In that way, the
smoothie can be conveniently stored or
carried, using the handle.
∙ By lifting up the rubber stopper, the
12
smoothie can be poured out directly
from the jug.
Before using for the fi rst time
Before the appliance is used for the fi rst
time, the blender jugs and the blade unit
must be thoroughly cleaned, as described
in the section Cleaning and care.
