BEFORE FIRST USE
■
Thoroughly wash accessories that are intended for coming into contact with food (blender stick attachment
A4
, blending beaker
A6
and base pad
A7
) using warm water with
neutral kitchen detergent. Then rinse them with clean water and allow them to dry naturally or wipe them thoroughly dry using a fine wiping cloth.
Attention:
When cleaning the blade assembly
A5
, be very careful not to injure yourself on its sharp edges.
■
When cleaning the blender attachment
A4
, do not submerge the top end that connects to the motor unit
A3
.
OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
■
Slide attachment
A4
on to the motor unit
A3
from underneath so that the arrow
B1
on the rear side of the motor unit points at the unlocked padlock symbol
B2
on the
attachment.
■
Turn the motor unit so that the arrow moves to the locked padlock symbol
B3
. The connection of both parts is accompanied by a click.
■
To release the attachment from the motor unit, firmly grasp both parts and turn the motor unit so that the arrow points at the open padlock symbol. Pull both parts away from
each other.
Attention:
Before attaching or removing attachment
A4
, make sure that the motor unit
A3
is turned off and disconnected from the power socket and that the rotating
parts have come to a complete stop. The part of the attachment that is connected to the motor unit must be thoroughly dry.
■
For blending, use the beaker
A6
or another suitable container intended for coming into contact with food. The anti-slip base pad
A7
also serves as a lid for the beaker, when you
wish to use it for short term storage of food.
■
Do not overfill the beaker
A6
past the maximum level mark. This will prevent splattering the ingredients while they are processed.
■
Connect the motor unit
A3
to a power socket.
■
Put the attachment into the bottom of the beaker. Use speed switch
A1
or
A2
to start the appliance. Move the blender slowly up and down to blend the ingredients to the
required consistency. 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
■
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
A5
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
A6
of the blending attachment 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 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.
