Blender.
2. Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. Also keep the sales receipt
and, if possible, the gift box with the inner packaging.
3. Failure to follow all the instructions listed may result in electric shock, fire or serious personal
injury.
4. Before plugging the 5 Speed Blender into the mains electrical supply, check that the voltage and
power supply comply with the specifications indicated on the rating plate of the appliance.
5. Do not plug the appliance into the power supply until it is fully assembled and always unplug
before disassembling the appliance or handling the blade.
6. The 5 Speed Blender is not intended for use for by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
7. Always place the 5 Speed Blender on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface. Also ensure that the
surface can take the weight of the unit during use.
8. The 5 Speed Blender is intended for DOMESTIC USE ONLY and should not be used for
commercial purposes. The 5 Speed Blender should only be used for its intended purpose.
9. Always keep the 5 Speed Blender out of reach of children. Close adult supervision is necessary
when the 5 Speed Blender is used by or near children.
10. Do not leave the unit unattended when not in use.
11. Do not move or lift the 5 Speed Blender while it is operating or while it is connected to an
electrical socket.
12. The use of attachments, not specifically recommended by the manufacturer, must not be used as
they may cause personal injury or damage to the appliance.
13. Care should be taken when handling the sharp cutting blades, emptying the jug and during
cleaning.
14. When mixing hot liquid/food, excess pressure may build up inside the blender and this could
cause the lid to come off and the contents to splash out. We therefore recommend that you
avoid mixing excessively hot food and that you place very small quantities of hot liquid or food
into the blender.
15. Do not use the blender for very hard food products such as bones, shelled nuts, frozen meat etc.,
which could either damage the blade or cause the motor to seize.
16. The blades of the jug are very sharp. While the blades are turning, never touch the jug from the
inside and never place any objects inside the jug.
17. The unit is equipped with a safety function. The unit can only be switched on if the jug is placed
on the base properly and locked into position. If the unit cannot be switched on, remove the
plug from the mains power supply and check the connection between jug and base. Make sure
that the glass jug is properly locked into position before attempting to start operation.
18. Only start operating the unit once the lid is tightly placed onto the glass blending jug and the
measuring cup has been inserted into the lid.
19. Do not operate the 5 Speed Blender if the plug or power cord has been damaged, is not working
properly, has been dropped or has been exposed to water or other liquid.
20. Check the 5 Speed Blender power cord regularly for damage. If the power cord is damaged in
any way, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid an electrical hazard.
21. Do not allow the power cord to hang over sharp table edges or come into contact with hot
surfaces.
22. Make sure that the 5 Speed Blender is switched off and remove the plug from the mains

2
electrical supply when it is not in use, before it is cleaned, before changing accessories or
moving parts and while it is being repaired.
23. Take care when handling the sharp blades, when emptying the glass jug and during the cleaning
process.
24. Avoid potential injury through misuse.
25. To prevent the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the power cord, plug, or any non-
removable parts of this 5 Speed Blender in water or any other liquid.
26. The 5 Speed Blender base must not be submerged in water, as any contact with the electrical
parts would create the risk of malfunction and electric shock. Do not use the appliance with wet
hands.
27. Do not use the 5 Speed Blender outdoors.
28. Always turn the dial to position ‘O’ to switch OFF the unit before removing the plug from the
wall socket.
29. To unplug the appliance, grasp the plug firmly and remove it from the mains electrical supply.
DO NOT PULL ON THE CORD OR CARRY THE UNIT BY ITS CORD.
30. Never use the 5 Speed Hand Blender if it is damaged in any way.
31. Use only spare parts supplied by the manufacturer or his local dealer.
32. All repairs should be done by a qualified electrician. Improper repairs may place the user at risk.
