Never leave the product unattended, especially with children present.
Do not immerse the power cord, plug, or product in water or other liquids. If it falls into water, immediately disconnect from the mains and do not touch the water.
Avoid placing the blender on or near hot surfaces.
Do not operate if the power cord, plug, or base is damaged, or if the product is malfunctioning. Repairs should only be carried out by a qualified electrical person.
The appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless supervised or instructed by a responsible person.
Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
Avoid contacting moving parts; blades are sharp and should be handled with care.
Only use attachments supplied with the product to prevent fire, electric shock, or injury.
Do not use the appliance for blending hard and dry substances to prevent damage to the blades and motor.
Unplug from the mains power outlet when not in use, before assembling/disassembling parts, and before cleaning.
Do not put the electric motor unit or power cord in water or other liquid to protect against electrical shock.
Do not use outdoors.
Keep hands and utensils out of the blending jug while blending. A scraper may be used only when the blender is not running.
Never place the cutter-assembly blades on the base without properly attaching them to the jar.
Always operate the blender with the jar cover in place.
Warning: Never use hot liquids or run the appliance empty.
Be careful of potential injury from misuse.
Always disconnect the appliance from mains power if left unattended and before assembling, disassembling, or cleaning.
Switch OFF the appliance and disconnect from mains power before changing accessories or approaching moving parts.
Be careful when pouring hot liquid into the blender as it can be ejected due to sudden steaming.
CAUTION: To avoid a hazard from inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device (e.g., timer) or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
WARNING! Do not blend hot liquids. To prevent scalding, do not process boiling liquids or hot ingredients. Allow hot ingredients to cool below 40°C before placing them in the blender.
IMPORTANT! To prevent damage to the electric motor, the maximum operating time is 1 minute. Allow it to rest for at least 2 minutes before using again. After 5 cycles, allow the blender (electric motor) to cool down to room temperature (approx. 30 minutes) before using again.
Note: The appliance has a non-self-resetting thermal motor protection circuit. If the motor shuts OFF, unplug the unit, remove the blending jar, free the blade of obstructions, and allow it to cool for at least 1 hour before plugging it back in.
