HOT BLENDING INSTRUCTIONS
To minimise the possibility of scalding when blending hot ingredients keep hands and other exposed skin away from the lid to prevent possible burns.
The following precautions must be observed:

• 
  Blending very hot ingredients may result in hot liquid and steam being forced suddenly past the lid or filler cap.
• We recommend that hot ingredients are allowed to cool before blending.
• NEVER exceed the hot liquid marking on the goblet if processing hot ingredients, such as soups.
• ALWAYS commence blending at a low speed and gradually increase the speed. NEVER blend hot liquids by using the Pulse setting.
• Liquids which tend to foam such as milk, should be limited to a maximum capacity of 1000mls/4 cups.
• Take care when handling the blender as the goblet and its contents will be very hot.
• Take particular care when removing the lid. The lid is designed to be a tight fit to prevent leakage. If necessary protect your hands with a cloth or oven gloves when handling.
• Ensure the goblet is securely attached to the base and when removing from the appliance, guide the base and ensure it is removed together with the goblet.
• Ensure that the lid and filler cap are securely in place before every blending operation.
• Always ensure that the vents in the filler cap are clear before every blending operation.
• When fitting the lid to the goblet always ensure that the lid and goblet rim are clean and dry to ensure a good seal and prevent spillage.

Mill Attachments

• Never fit the blade assembly to the power unit without the jar/ lid fitted.
• Never unscrew the jar/lid while the mill is fitted to your appliance.
• Do not touch the sharp blades – Keep the blade assembly away from children.
• Never remove the mill until the blades have completely stopped.
• The appliance will not work if the mill is incorrectly fitted.
