it on a stable, flat, heat‑resistant surface (e.g. a bench or table); and ensure that it is at a safe
distance from the edge to avoid falling. Please be aware that when you use the unit to knead

manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person to identify the fault and make any repairs.
33. The measuring cup is the only part that can be safely used to cover the round hole in the jar lid. Please
do not use a cloth or anything similar to cover this hole, and ensure the measuring cup is placed
correctly to cover it when you process food. Pay attention to the capacity mark on the blender jar.
34. When processing hot food (for temperature above 600C) , don' t touch the measuring cup.
WARNING: the lid can become super hot.
35. When you use the steamer, make sure that it is connected properly to the jar, and that the
steamer lid is in place. Be careful of any vapour that flows out through the top or sides of the
cover, as this may scald you. Regularly check that the vent hole on the steamer lid is clear to
prevent the vapour from escaping elsewhere.
36. When the steamer is operating, the handles are the only safe place to touch it. Touching it
anywhere else may result in injury.

out of children's reach.

the blade sealing ring correctly, and use the fixing bracket to affix the blade assembly to the bottom.
39. Poor ventilation can also damage your Optimum ThermoCook. To avoid this, ensure that the
vents on the back of the main body are clear of any blockages.
