What are the risks of injury?

Before use, always check the entire appliance, in particular the filter and filter tray, for damage (cracks, flaws). Do not use the appliance if the filter or the lid is damaged or if there are visible cracks. Before replacing accessories or additional parts which move during operation, the appliance must be switched off and disconnected from the power supply. After switching off, the drive continues for a short time; wait until the drive has come to a standstill. Only operate the appliance in its fully assembled state. Be careful when closing the catch, otherwise you may trap your fingers. The appliance is intended to be used by one person. Do not place fingers in the filling shaft; use the supplied pusher only. Care should be taken when handling the shredding blades, emptying the container, and during cleaning. Do not touch shredding blades on the base of the filter. First, clean the filter with the brush, then rinse under running water or wash it in the dishwasher.

What are some general cautions to keep in mind?

It is recommended that the appliance is never switched on for longer than is necessary to process the ingredients. Do not operate at no-load.

Empty the pulp container before the pulp reaches the edge of the filter tray. If the appliance vibrates during the juicing process or juice spills over the housing, the filter is blocked or damaged; switch off the appliance immediately and check the filter. Do not use a damaged filter. It is essential to clean the appliance thoroughly after each use or after it has not been used for an extended period.
