Key risks

• Cuts from contact with the blades during assembly, cleaning or when emptying the container.
• Splashes and possible burns when processing hot liquids or when opening the lid after blending.
• Risk of electric shock from water entering the motor unit, use with wet hands, or a damaged cable/plug.
• Motor overheating due to prolonged continuous use, excessive load or blade blockage.
• Tipping of the jug or the appliance on unstable surfaces, causing breakage and spills.
• Food ejection and spills if the lid is not properly closed or if starting at a high speed.
• Pinching when attaching or detaching accessories, lids or locking mechanisms.

Safe use

• Place the blender on a flat, stable surface, with the cable kept away from the edge and from hot areas.
• Assemble and lock the jug, lid and accessories securely before switching on. For hand blenders, insert the blade into the container before activating.
• Do not exceed the fill mark. Start at a low speed and increase gradually; hold the lid during use.
• Avoid processing very hot liquids; allow to cool and open the lid carefully to release steam.
• Keep hands, hair, clothing and utensils away from the blades. Use pushers or spatulas only with the appliance switched off and unplugged.
• Unplug before changing accessories, unblocking or cleaning. Do not immerse the motor unit or use the appliance with wet hands.
• If it jams or vibrates abnormally, switch off and disconnect; remove the obstruction carefully.
• Do not crush ice, bones or very hard ingredients unless permitted by the manufacturer. Cut food into pieces and add liquid if necessary.
• Observe the recommended run and rest times to prevent overheating.

Storage and maintenance

• Wait for the blades to come to a complete stop and unplug before handling the appliance.
• Wash parts in contact with food after each use and dry them thoroughly. Handle the blades carefully to avoid cuts.
• Clean the motor unit with a slightly damp cloth; do not immerse it or place it in the dishwasher.
• Regularly check the cable, plug, jug, lid and seals. If you notice cracks, looseness or damage, do not use the product until the affected part has been replaced.
• Store the blender in a dry place, away from sources of heat and moisture, and out of the reach of children.
• Protect the blades with their cover or store them separately. Coil the cable without stretching or crushing it.

Usage restrictions

• For domestic indoor use on stable surfaces. Do not leave the blender running unattended.
• Not a toy: keep out of reach of children and only use with supervision in their presence.
• Persons with reduced physical, sensory or cognitive capabilities should use it only under appropriate supervision.
• Do not use the appliance with a cracked jug or accessories, with a damaged cable or plug, or if it has fallen into water.
• Do not process frying oils, carbonated drinks in closed containers or very hot liquids that generate excessive steam.
• Do not use incompatible accessories or parts that do not fit correctly.
