SAFETY FEATURES

Your Blender has 2 safety functions. Occasionally during the use of the Blender you may find that these safety functions have caused the unit to temporarily cease working. This is completely normal and is implemented to protect the user and unit from damage.

Overheating Protection

The motor of the Blender is equipped with a temperature control device. If the motor or the blades turn too slowly due to solid food or lack of fluid there is a danger of the unit overheating. If your unit should switch off for that reason, unplug the Blender from the wall socket and move into a well- ventilated area. Allow the Blender to cool down for approximately 45 minutes, you can then recommence use.

Auto Shut Down

The maximum running time of this Blender is 8 minutes. To prevent overuse or overheating of the appliance the Blender will automatically switch off after 8 minutes running time.

Sensor for the Blender Jug

Blender is equipped with a safety sensor which detects when the blender jug has been seated onto the motor correctly. If the blender jug has not been assembled correctly you will not be able to operate the Blender. Due to safety reasons please do not attempt to bypass the sensor.
