ENGLISH
en
Keep the release button depressed and push to the left to
open the capsule holder.
Place the activated capsule between the two cups of the
holding mechanism and release the release button. The
device clamps the capsule automatically. Insert capsules
with tips such that the tip points towards the left side.
Do not operate the device without a capsule inserted!
6.2 Mixing
Close the protective cover and press the “Start/Stop”-
button. This starts-up the mixing process.
The countdown of the mixing time is shown on the time
display.
After the mixing time has elapsed, the latest time setting
entered is re-displayed so that there is no need to re-enter
any value if the same time is to be used.
The selected program can be interrupted at any time by
pressing the “Start/Stop”-button, upon which the program
returns to its original setting.
CAUTION: For safety reasons, the unit cannot be started
up unless the cover is closed. Attempting to operate the
unit with the cover being open causes the time display to
flash and an error message to be issued. Opening of the
protective cover during mixing is associated with a high
risk of injury. Hence, the mixing process is aborted. This
may render the capsule useless! Therefore, never open
the cover before the mixing process is completed and the
capsule holder has come to a complete stop!
