The Appliance
2. This appliance must be used only for the purpose it was expressly designed; any
use NOT complying with the instructions contained in the manual is considered
inappropriate and dangerous. The manufacturer is NOT responsible for possible
damages caused by the inappropriate and/or unreasonable use.
3. The installation/assembly of the appliance will be made in accordance with the
indications of the manufacturer. A wrong procedure may cause damages to
persons, animals or objects, for which the manufacturer cannot be considered
responsible.
4. Before use, check the integrity of the appliance and power cable. DO NOT
operate the appliance at all when the Motor unit is damaged. If the Motor unit is
not damaged, but an accessory (Blender, Filter, Dry Food Mill or Mincer) is
damaged, DO NOT operate the Motor unit in conjunction with that accessory. In
case you are not sure, contact a qualified person. If the power cable is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer / service agent or a qualified technician
in order to avoid a shock hazard.
5. Before powering the appliance make sure the rating (voltage and frequency)
corresponding to the grid and the socket is suitable for the plug of the appliance,
and that the wall socket is properly grounded.
6. Avoid the use of adapters and/or extension cables; if their use is absolutely
necessary, use only materials in compliance with the current safety regulations
and according to the electrical parameters of the adapters.
7. The appliance must NOT be switched on using external timers and/or other
remote control appliances which are not specified in this manual.
8. Only use original components & accessories provided by the manufacturer. Any
non-original components & accessories made by other manufacturers or by the
same manufacturer but for other models of the same capacity or otherwise, may
cause injuries to persons or damage to the appliance. Doing so will void the
warranty and may cause serious injury.
