OPERATING THE APPLIANCE

■

Select the type of accessories that you wish to use, and assemble the appliance according to the instructions in the preceding chapters.

■ For blending, use the beaker

A6

or another suitable container intended for coming into contact with food.

■

Do not overfill the beaker

A6

and bowl

A12

past the maximum level marks. This will prevent splattering the ingredients while they are processed.

■ When assembling the chopper, place the food into the bowl

A12

only after placing the chopper

A10

, be on to the central shaft

A13

at the bottom of the bowl. Do not fill the bowl past the maximum level mark (MAX).

■

Connect the motor unit

A3

to a power socket.

■ Hold down switch

A1

or

A2

. The appliance will run as long as the switch is held down. Releasing the switch will turn off the appliance.

Attention:

The maximum continuous operating time of the appliance is 1 minute. Then allow it to cool down for 3 to 5 minutes. When using the appliance to blend sticky or harder foodstuffs, interrupt operation already after 30 seconds.

■ After you finish using it, disconnect the power cord from the power socket. Make sure that the rotating parts have stopped rotating, and disassemble the appliance into its individual parts. Then clean all used parts according to the instructions in chapter Cleaning and maintenance.

ADVICE AND TIPS

■

When using the blender attachment, it is recommended to always blend at a lower speed. While blending, move the blender up and down to blend the ingredients to the required consistency.

■ To prevent ingredients from splattering, put the blender attachment

A4

or the whisk

A7

into the beaker containing the ingredients before starting it, and conversely turn it off before pulling the attachment out of the beaker.

■ To prevent ingredients from splattering, keep the blade assembly

A5

of the blending attachment and whisk

A8

submerged while the appliance is running. It is recommended to divide a larger amount of processed ingredients into several batches and to regularly inspect the contents inside the beaker.

■ When using the blender or chopper attachment, it is recommended to process ingredients using short pulses. This will prevent the ingredients from being excessively pulverised and optimal results will be achieved.

■ To make blending and chopping easier, cut hard ingredients into small pieces.

■

To achieve better blending results, hold the stick blender slightly tilted, while carefully moving it up and down in the beaker. Do not use force to push ingredients down with the stick blender.

■ Before blending or chopping, remove hard parts such as fruit stones or bones from the blended ingredients. This will prevent damaging the blade assembly.

QUICK GUIDE TO PROCESSING INGREDIENTS

■

The food processing times provided below are only a reference. The actual processing time depends on the size of the ingredients, their amount and the required final consistency. If the required consistency is not achieved during the maximum operating time of the appliance, you may continue processing the food after the appliance has cooled down.
