• After chopping very hard ingredients such as ice, nuts, chocolate, etc.., ALWAYS check that
blades are still screwed perfectly.
• When cooking, never exceed the litre and half of ingredients (including liquids and solids)
otherwise you run the risk that the contents of the bowl could overspill.
• While the unit is in operation, only use the supplied spatula to loosen the ingredients from
the sides of the bowl or mix them.
• To make preparations with boiling milk, always remove the cap from the cover while
cooking. After cooking, do not open the lid immediately, but let the blades turning without any
temperature set, until the milk has gone off the boil before opening.
• Do not place the unit near heat sources (stove, oven, etc..).
• When you want to move the equipment you need to lift it, and never drag it while working:
you may run the risk of damaging the functionality of the machine.
• Before carrying out any recipe, please read all the ingredients to prepare it properly and
have them at hand, and strictly follow the sequence of implementation.
• When a recipe calls for ingredients that are a "cube" or "diced", it is necessary to prepare
them this way, otherwise they do not mix well with other ingredients in the recipe. The cubes
should have the side of about 1 - 1.5 cm, while the diced should have the side smaller than 1
cm.
• In all preparations of fruit (juices, sherbets, jams, etc..) add a peeled lemon "in vivo", ie
without white skins, seeded and cut into small pieces. The lemon will act as an antioxidant
and will enhance the colour and flavour of the preparation.
• For the preparation of ice creams and sorbets, and to assemble the cream, it is necessary
that the machine is cold and that the bowl is first cooled for a couple of hours in the
refrigerator. If the machine is off, but it was not thought to cool the bowl, you can do it by
grinding ice, then take it out from the bowl and proceed with the preparation.
• In preparations that require long cooking times you may need to add extra liquids. Similarly,
for preparations that require the use for ex. of tomato sauce, please remind that not any
soups are the same, but they can vary in consistency and, therefore, in the amount of liquid
they contain.
• For the preparation of dishes with vegetables, if you are not satisfied with the amount of
cooking achieved by the recipe, you can use the "personal touch" and prolong the cooking for
the desired time. If you use canned beans instead of dry ones, consider that cooking times
should be reduced considerably.
• For the preparation of meat dishes, one should consider the importance of the type of meat
and the cut used. Cooking times of the recipes refer exclusively to the type and cut of meat
indicated in the recipes themselves. If for any reason, you decide to use a different type of
meat, remember that it will change its cooking times. Obviously, if you must lengthen the
cooking time, you must increase the amount of liquid in the bowl while cooking.
•When you program the delayed start of a recipe with rice and liquids (broth, water, milk,
etc.), you must keep in mind that over time the rice absorbs the liquid and therefore the
cooking time should be reduced.
• After cooking, wait a moment before opening the lid and take care of possible "puffs" of
steam. You could burn yourself.
• If the unit is used improperly, for ex. by putting bigger amounts of an ingredient than those
provided by the recipe, or more than the appliance can accept, the motor tends to overheat
