• At the end of the process, release the speed button used and wait for the blades to come to a complete
stop.
• Remove the plug from the power socket.
• Clean any parts that come into contact with foodstuffs immediately as described in the chapter
EN
'Cleaning and care'.
WARNING! Always disconnect the appliance from the socket
before cleaning or performing maintenance.
Clean the accessories according to the table indicated in the chapter Cleaning before using for the first

Should one of the following problems occur, adopt the proposed solution:
The hand blender blades cause the contents to
splash.
The whisk attachment causes the contents of the
beaker to spatter and splash.
The packaging of the appliance is made of recyclable materials. Dispose of the packaging in
accordance with the environmental protection regulations.
Pursuant to Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), the
crossed bin symbol on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the appliance must be
disposed of separately from other waste at the end of its useful life.
The user must therefore take the appliance to an appropriate recycling centre for electrical
and electronic equipment. Alternatively, instead of handling the disposal, the user can hand
over the appliance to the retailer when a new, equivalent one is purchased. The user can hand over
electronic products measuring less than 25 cm to retailers of electronic products having a sales area
of at least 400 m² free of charge and with no obligation to buy. Appropriate separate collection for the
subsequent procedure for the decommissioned appliance for recycling, which includes treatment and
environmentally friendly disposal helps prevent adverse effects on the environment and health and
promotes reusing and/or recycling materials that the appliance consists of.
