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:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not put motor body of blender in water or
other liquids.
3. 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 use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning
or removing contents from the pitcher. Never put hands into the pitcher, or handle the blades
with appliance plugged in.
5. Avoid any contact with blades or moveable parts.
6. 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.
7. The use of attachments, including canning or ordinary jars, not recommended or sold by
Braun may cause fire, electrical shock, or risk of injury to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors or for anything other than its intended purpose.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of counter or table, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not use the blender for anything other than food and/or beverage preparation. Misuse
may cause injury.
11. Keep hands and utensils out of the pitcher while blending, to reduce the risk of severe injury
to persons or damage to blender itself. A rubber or plastic spatula may be used but must be
used only when the blender is turned OFF.
12. Flashing light indicates ready to operate. Avoid any contact with blades.
13. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully. Store out of reach of children.
14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place blade assembly on base unless assembled to the

17. Never leave your blender unattended while it is running.
18. This appliance (type 4143 and 4144) 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.
19. This symbol states ON/OFF.
20. 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.

For Best Results
When mixing solid ingredients, cut them up
into small pieces (1 inch).
Always start by mixing solid ingredients with a
small amount of liquid. Then gradually add
more liquid.
When pureeing solid ingredients, feed small
portions into the pitcher (4/4a) gradually rather
than adding a large quantity at one time.
If blending action stops during blending or
ingredients stick to sides of the pitcher, there
may not be enough liquid to blend efficiently.
Use the pulse mode when mixing solid or
highly viscous ingredients to avoid the blade
becoming stagnant
For preparing small amounts of foodstuff use a
low speed level.
When preparing mayonnaise, oil can be added
through the drip hole in the measuring cap.
Do not store food or liquids in the pitcher.
Avoid bumping or dropping the blender when
in operation or at any time.
We recommend keeping your hand on top of
the pitcher when operating the blender.
Do not fill the pitcher beyond 32 fl. oz./ 4 cups
when preparing milk based drinks.
Blending Hot Ingredients
Blending very hot ingredients may result in hot
liquid and steam being forced past the lid or
measuring cap and cause severe personal injury.
When preparing hot foods or liquids the
complete lid (including the gasket and
measuring cap) must be placed on the pitcher.
Do not fill the pitcher beyond 24 fl. oz./ 3 cups
for hot foodstuff.
If preparing greater amounts, the ingredients
must cool down to room temperature and the
pitcher must not be filled beyond 48 fl. oz./ 6
cups.
Care and Cleaning (C)
Motor body
Disconnect power before cleaning.
Do not immerse the motor body in water or any
other liquid. Wipe motor body, control panel and
power cord with a damp or dry cloth only.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
Pitcher and Smoothie2Go Attachments
Make sure the pitcher is empty before you
unscrew the locking ring. Handle the blade with
caution.
All detachable parts including the
Smoothie2Go attachments are dishwasher-
safe. Do not use the sanitizing program. The
sanitization cycle could damage your product.
Parts may also be washed with hot, soapy
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
For an efficient clean of the lids and the
blades, remove the gaskets (3/12b, 5a/13a).
Both the design specifications and these user
instructions are subject to change without notice.
Do not dispose the product in household waste at
the end of its useful life.
