2. Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of injury or damage, always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Read all instructions before operating the appliance.
• Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning.
• Do not immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid. Clean only with a damp cloth.
• Keep hands and utensils out of the container while blending to prevent severe injury and/or damage to the blender. A scraper may be used only when the blender is not running.
• The motor is equipped with overheating protection. If the motor overheats, the unit will automatically shut down. Allow it to rest for 30 minutes before resuming operation.
• Each continuous use should be limited to 60 seconds to prevent motor strain.
• NEVER process hot liquids (>40°C/104°F). Steam pressure may cause explosive ejection, leading to burns or injury.
• Cut hard produce (e.g., carrots, apples) into <3cm cubes to avoid blade jamming and ensure efficient processing.
• Remove pits/stones (e.g., peaches, cherries) from fruits to prevent blade damage.
• For grinding functions, use DRY ingredients ONLY (e.g., coffee beans, spices, grains). Moisture can cause clogging and overloading, which may stall the motor.
• Ensure all parts are correctly assembled and locked into place before operating. The appliance features a lock security design for safe operation.
• Exercise extreme caution when handling sharp blades.
