Electrical Appliances).
WARNING: Do not immerse the processing tools too deep to avoid food splashing on the
appliance or dripping in the motor housing or find its way into the tool holes. Always keep
at least 5 cm (ca. 3 finger's breadth) of free space between the food and the bottom of the
motor housing. Do not touch the processing tools with your hands or any objects (i.e. hair,
tissues, cooking utensils) when the appliance is connected to the power supply.

avoid condensation on the motor housing. Immediately wipe off condensate on the motor
housing.

ce for at least 10 minutes, to let the motor cool down.
Prefer working with low speed settings. If required, switch to higher speed settings step by
step to avoid excessive splashing.

switch OFF the motor (speed control position '0') and wait until the motor stops. Then lift the
processing tools out of the food.

stable dry and clean surface, where it can not fall.
