Damage to the
appliance as a result of
incorrect cleaning or
failure to observe
instructions on long-
time cooking. If the mixing bowl and mixing knife are in contact with water, other
liquids or food residues for a long time, they could get damaged.
• Always clean the components directly after use.
• Do not leave the mixing knife in water for a long time as this may damage
the gasket system of the knife bearing.
• Because of variations in water quality, oxidation of parts may occur in the
mixing bowl when cooking food over a long period of time (slow cooking,
sous-vide or fermenting). Please therefore follow the instructions on
adding special ingredients (e.g. citric acid) to the cooking liquid.
