must be thoroughly cleaned after each use.
W Risk of electric shock!

and do not clean in the dishwasher.

W Risk of injury!
Do not touch the blender blades with your
bare hands. Use a brush.
Caution!
– Do not use any cleaning agents
containing alcohol or spirits.
– Do not use any sharp, pointed or metal
objects.

agents.
Notes:

This will prevent residues from drying
on and possibly attacking the plastic

– When processing food such as
carrots, the plastic parts may become
discoloured, but this can be removed
with a few drops of cooking oil.

remove the cover from the handle and
replace once dry.
