Safety Instructions
To prevent injury or damage, please adhere to the following safety guidelines:
- Read all instructions before using the appliance.
- Ensure the motor unit is securely rotated to lock the slot on the glass bowl before pressing the switch to start.
- Always hold the glass bowl firmly with one hand while operating the motor unit with the other.
- Do not operate the appliance continuously for more than 30 seconds. Prolonged use can cause overheating and trigger the automatic shut-off.

- The blades are extremely sharp. Handle them with extreme care, especially during assembly, disassembly, and cleaning. Keep them out of reach of children.
