Main risks

• Cuts when handling blades, discs and other sharp accessories.
• Burns and scalds from hot surfaces, steam and splashes on models with a cooking function or when blending hot liquids.
• Electrical risk due to the base coming into contact with water, or from damaged plugs or cables.
• Splashes and spills if the lid is not properly locked or the maximum fill level is exceeded.
• Movement or tipping of the appliance during kneading or at high speeds.
• Motor overheating due to blade jams, overloading or continuous use without breaks.
• Cross-contamination due to inadequate hygiene or mixing raw and cooked foods in the same jug.
• Entrapment of clothing, hair or utensils in moving parts.

Safe use

• Place the appliance on a flat, stable and dry surface, leaving space around it and keeping it away from the edge of the worktop.
• Before starting, check that the jug, lid, seals and accessories are correctly fitted and locked.
• Do not insert hands or utensils while it is running; use only the pusher or intended accessories.
• Start at low speed and increase gradually, especially with liquids or hot preparations.
• Do not exceed the fill mark; with hot or foaming liquids reduce the volume to prevent splashes.
• When opening after heating or hot blending, stop the appliance, wait a few seconds and release steam slowly, directing the lid away from your body.
• Always unplug before assembling, changing accessories, clearing blockages or cleaning.
• Keep the cable away from hot surfaces and the edge; handle the plug with dry hands.

Storage and maintenance
