IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed including the following:
Read all instructions before using.
1. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse
cord, plug, or motor unit in water or other liquid.
If Hand Blender falls into liquid, unplug from outlet
immediately, then remove Hand Blender. Do not
reach into the liquid without unplugging the unit first.
2. This appliance should not be used by children and
care should be taken when used near children.
3. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting
on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
4. Make sure the Hand Blender is in the OFF position by
releasing the power On/Off button, before unplugging or
plugging into any electrical outlet.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts.
6. Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord
or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has
been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the
Hand Blender to the retail location where it was
purchased for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use accessories or
attachments, including canning jars, not recommend-
ed or sold by Philips Electronics North America
Corporation, as they may cause fire, electric shock or
injury.
8. Do not use outdoors or operate where oxygen is
being administered or in the presence of explosive
and/or flammable fumes.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter,
or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
10. This appliance is intended for household use ONLY; it
is not for commercial or industrial use.

11. Any service of the Hand Blender should be per-
formed by the retail location where it was purchased.
12. To disconnect, release the power "On/Off" button,
then remove plug from electrical outlet. Remove plug
by gripping the plug body and pulling it from the outlet.
Never yank or twist the cord to unplug. Make sure the
motor and blades completely stop turning before
putting on or taking off parts.
13. During operation keep hands, hair, and clothing, as
well as spatulas and other utensils away from attach-
ments, blades and any mixing containers to prevent the
possibility of severe injury to persons and/or damage
to the Hand Blender. If scraping, folding, etc., is neces-
sary, Hand Blender must be turned off, by releasing the
power On/Off button and unplugged, and only use a
rubber spatula.
14. Never leave the appliance unattended.
15. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully and with caution
when removing, inserting or cleaning.
16. When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall
container or make small quantities at a time, to avoid
splattering and burning. Always begin processing
at the lowest speed setting.
17. To avoid any injury, never place cutting blade on
base without first putting chopper bowl properly in
place.
18. Be certain chopper lid is securely locked in place before
operating chopper. Do not attempt to remove lid until
blade has stopped rotating completely.
19. When using mixing bowl, beaker or chopper, check for
presence of foreign objects before using. Always make
sure that rubber sealing ring is in the correct position on
chopper unit before using. The blender base/motor unit
is intended for use only with attachments provided. Do
not substitute with any other attachments.

20. Do not mount the wall holder over or near any
portion of a heating or cooking appliance or a sink or
basin.
21. Do not attempt to defeat the chopper lid interlock
mechanism.

INSTRUCTIONS
SPECIAL POLARIZED PLUG
INSTRUCTIONS
This Philips Hand Blender has a polarized plug for an
added safety feature (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electrical shock:
• Plug will fit into polarized outlet only one way.
• If plug does not properly fit outlet at first, reverse it.
• If plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT
THIS SAFETY FEATURE
The maximum rating is 200 watts, based on
using the stainless steel blending bar that draws
the greatest load (electrical power or current)
and all other recommended attachments may
draw significantly less electrical power or
current.
