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 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.
