• Before you attach or replace an accessory, switch the
appliance off and disconnect it from the power supply.
Remember that the blades of the blade assembly are extremely sharp:
–Never touch them with your bare hands to avoid cutting
yourself.
–When washing up by hand, the water should be clear enough
for you to be able to see the blade assembly easily to prevent you
cutting yourself on its extremely sharp blades.
–When emptying the blender jug, ensure that you do not touch
the blades of the blade assembly.
–When removing and attaching the blade assembly, ensure that
you do not touch its blades.
• When using the pulse function, do not have any hot ingredients in the
blender jug. These could spray out and lead to scalds.
• The appliance may not be operated on an external time switch or
separate remote control system such as a radio-controlled power
socket.
• Never immerse the base unit in water.
• Never use abrasive, corrosive or scratching cleaning materials as these
could damage the appliance.
