important safeguards

Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 The blender must only be used by or under the direct
supervision of a responsible adult. Use and store the
blender out of reach of children.
2 Don't put the motor unit in liquid, don't use it in a
bathroom, near water, or outdoors.
3 Unplug before assembling, dismantling, or cleaning.
4 The safety interlock prevents the motor running without
the jug. Don't use it to switch the blender on and off.
5 Switch off (0) before fitting the jug to the motor unit.
6 Switch off (0) and wait till the blades come to a complete
stop before removing the lid from the jug, and before
removing the jug from the motor unit.
7 Don't fill with anything hotter than you can comfortably
handle (i.e. liquid temperature below 40°C).
8 When blending hot liquids, put a hand on the lid to hold it
in place.
9 Don't put your hand into the jug, even after it's been
removed for cleaning – the blades are sharp.
11 Take great care when handling the blade unit.
12 Don't put anything other than ingredients into the jug
while the blender is plugged in.
13 Don't leave the blender unattended while plugged in.
14 Sit the motor unit on a dry, firm, level surface.
15 Route the cable so it doesn't overhang, and can't be
tripped over or caught.
16 Keep the blender and cable away from sources of heat.
