• Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near young children. Do not
let young children play with any parts of the appliance or the packing. The appliance is
NOT intended for use by children or infirm persons without supervision. Take care that no
one will pull the appliance by the power cord, especially when young children are near.
Place the appliance on a clean, dry and stable surface where it is protected from inadmis-
sible strain (i.e. mechanical or electric shock, overheating, frost, moisture, direct sunlight)
and where young children cannot reach it.
• Operate the appliance on a well accessible, stable, level, dry, and suitable large table or
counter. Do not place the appliance or any part of it on or near hot surfaces (heater, gas
burner, grill or oven). When processing hot food, do not hold the appliance in rising steam,
to avoid condensation on the appliance. Do not place the appliance near the edge of the
table or counter or on inclined or wet surfaces or where it can fall. Always unplug the appli-
ance before laying it down. Place the appliance on a stable and level surface on its side or
in an upright position on its back cover. If the appliance is in upright position, take care not
to knock over the appliance.
• Do not immerse the motor housing or power cord in water or any other liquid. Do not pour
or drip any liquids on the motor housing or power cord. When liquids are spilled on the
motor housing, immediately unplug the appliance and dry the motor housing to avoid risk
of electric shock or fire. Do not attempt to operate the appliance, when liquids are on or in
the motor housing. With the appliance connected to the power supply, do not touch the
appliance with wet hands or when the appliance is damp or wet or is touching wet surfa-
ces. In this case do not touch the appliance but immediately unplug the power cord
from the power supply and dry the appliance (see Care and Cleaning). Only the proces-
sing tools (dough hooks or whisks) may be cleaned in an automatic dishwasher.
• Do not place the motor housing or power cord in an automatic
dishwasher!
• To avoid damage, do not use any abrasive cleaners, corrosive chemicals (i.e. disinfec-
tants, bleach) or cleaning pads for cleaning. Do not use any hard or sharp utensils for ope-
ration or cleaning. Keep the appliance away from sharp edges. Do not leave any food dry
on the surfaces of the appliance.
• The appliance is intended for blending and mixing food only. Do not use the appliance
for any other purpose, especially, do not process any liquids containing inflam-
mable or corrosive solvents (i.e. paint or lacquer). Fumes of volatile solvents
coming in contact with the motor, could catch fire and explode!
