IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
• Always operate the hand blender from power source of the same voltage,
frequency and rating as indicated on the product identification plate.
• Do not use with an extension cord.
• Close supervision is necessary when hand blender is used by or near children,
or incapacitated persons. Do not allow children to use it as a toy.
• Do not operate hand blender with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance
malfunctions or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance
to the nearest Authorized Sunbeam Service Center for examination, repair or
electrical or mechanical adjustment.
• Do not twist, kink or wrap the power cord around the appliance as this may
cause the insulation to weaken and split particularly where it enters the unit.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put hand blender motor
in water or other liquid. This may cause personal injury and/or damage
to the product.
• After each operation, allow the hand blender to cool for 3 minutes before using
it again.
• Do not process food containing hard objects that cannot be safely broken up
by the blade.
• To protect against fire, do not operate the unit in the presence
of explosive and/or flammable fumes.
• This hand blender should not be used in the immediate vicinity of water,
such as bathtub, washbowls, swimming pool, etc., where the likelihood
of immersion or splashing could occur.
• Switch off and unplug from outlet while not in use, before putting on
or taking off parts and before cleaning. Remove by grasping the plug;
do not pull on the cord.
• Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas
and other utensils away from blade during operation to reduce the risk of injury
to persons and/or damage to the hand blender. A spatula or scraper may be used
when the appliance is not in operation.
• When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or make small
quantities at a time to reduce spillage.
