important safeguards

Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 This appliance must only be used by a responsible adult.
2 Don't put the handle in liquid, don't use it in a bathroom, near water, or
outdoors.
3 The wand blade is sharp and it rotates at high speed.
4 So, to avoid serious injury:
a) don't switch on till the blade is inside the food container
b) switch off before lifting the blade from the food container
c) don't touch the blade – even when cleaning
d) don't plug in till just before use
e) unplug immediately after use
f) unplug before dismantling and/or cleaning
g) unplug before fitting or removing an attachment
h) don't leave the blender unattended while plugged in
i) use and store the appliance out of reach of children.
5 When using the wand in hot liquids, don't let the blade break the surface at an
angle, as you might spray liquid outside the bowl/pan/container.
6 Don't use the wand in hot oil – even moderately hot oil can cause a nasty burn.
7 Take great care when handling the chopper blades – they're very sharp.
8 Route the cable so it doesn't overhang, and can't be tripped over or caught.
9 Keep the appliance and the cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.
10 Don't fit an attachment or accessory other than those we supply.
11 Don't use the appliance for any purpose other than those described in these
instructions.
12 Don't run the motor for more than three minutes at a time, then leave it for a
minute to cool down before using it again.
13 Don't stand the blender on end, it's unstable – lay it on the work surface.
14 Don't wrap the cable around the blender.
15 Don't operate the appliance if it's damaged or malfunctions.
16 If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent,
or someone similarly qualified, in order to avoid hazard.
before using for the first time
1 Turn to "care and maintenance" on page 38, and clean the blender and attachments
