IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Here are some basic safety precautions that you should carefully follow as you use your
new Courant blender. Read all instructions carefully! Courant is not responsible for dam-
age or injuries caused by improper use of the appliance.
GENERAL SAFETY
1. Don't touch any moving parts!
2. Keep yourself safe from electrical shocks: keep the power handle and power cord
out of water or other liquids.
3. Be careful when operating the hand blender with or around children.
4. Do not use the immersion blender outdoors, especially during inclement weather
(snow, rain, excessive moisture). Store it in a dry place!
5. Don't keep the hand blender on or near a hot gas or electric burner. Keep it out of
the oven.
6. Don't use the immersion blender for anything besides what we described at the
beginning of this manual.
7. Do not let the immersion blender run continuously for more than 2 minutes.
8. If hand blender runs continuously for a long period of time (1-2 minutes), allow it
to rest for at least 5 minutes before turning it back on again.
9. When cleaning the blender shaft, use warm tap water. Make sure that you wash off
all soap and detergent thoroughly.
10. Never immerse the motor unit in water or other liquids! It should be carefully
cleaned separately with a damp cloth.
11. The hand blender isn't drop-proof: hard impact may cause damage to the unit.
12. Never leave packaging materials (i.e. plastic bags, polystyrene foam, nails, staples,
etc.) around; they can pose a choking risk to children.
13. Dispose of your immersion blender properly through a local appliance recycling
or disposal service.
14. While the hand blender is running, do not handle it with wet hands or in bare feet.
