IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

Blades are sharp. Handle carefully when removing, inserting, or cleaning. Always verify that the accessory enclosure is free of cracks or other damages.
The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instructions concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Remove any packaging materials and promotional labels before using the appliance for the first time.
Unplug from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the electrical outlet. Never pull the cord.
To protect against electrical shock, do not put the motor part, cord, or electrical plug of this hand blender in water or other liquids. Only the detachable blending shaft and other certain parts of this appliance have been designed for immersion into water or other liquids. Never submerge any other part of this unit. If hand blender falls into a liquid, unplug it first, then remove it immediately. Do not reach into the liquid without unplugging the unit first.
The use of attachments/accessories not sold or recommended by Braun may cause fire, electrical shock, or risk of injuries to persons.
Regularly inspect the power cord, power plug, and actual appliance for any damage. Do not operate if damaged in any way or after the appliance malfunctions. Immediately cease use of the appliance and call Braun Customer Service for examination, repair, or adjustment.
Avoid any contact with blades or moveable parts.
Do not use it outdoors or for anything other than its intended purpose.
Keep hands and utensils out of the container while blending to prevent the possibility of severe injury to persons or damage to the unit. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the unit is not running.
Detach the blending shaft from the motor part before washing the blades or shaft.
When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or make small quantities at a time to reduce spillage, splattering, and the possibility of injury from burning.
The metal blending shaft and whisk may scratch or mark non-stick coatings. Do not use it in non-stick cookware.
Check the work bowl for the presence of foreign objects before using it.
Do not let any cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. Do not let the cord contact hot surfaces, including the stovetop.
The maximum rating is based on the MQ 20 chopper «hc» that draws the greatest power and other recommended attachments may draw significantly less power.
The «hc» chopper is intended for processing small quantities of food for immediate consumption and is especially recommended for preparing baby food. The appliance is not intended to prepare large quantities of food at one time.
The double-blade knife is sharp. Handle carefully. Use extreme care when removing or replacing knife blades.
A bowl must be in place before replacing knife blades.
Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall cabinet.
We suggest you save all packing materials in the event that future shipping of the machine is needed. Keep all plastic bags away from children.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
