OPERATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
Keep the working area during work clean and dry. If necessary, wipe off splashes
or spilled liquids with a dry cloth.
WARNING:
Never place the motor base on wet underlayments or towels. Do
not allow liquids to run on or into the motor base. If liquids have entered into the
motor base, immediately pull the power plug from the outlet, and have the device
checked at a specialised service centre.
WARNING:
Never put your hands or foreign objects (e.g.: cooking utensils) into
the glass jug, when the glass jug is mounted onto the motor base. Always turn the
appliance off (ON/OFF-switch position ›0‹, wait until the blades stand still and then
remove the glass jug from the motor base before removing the lid to check the content
or the food in the glass jug. Use only cooking utensils made of wood, rubber or pla-
stic. Do not apply any violence, when pushing the food down the glass jug or clea-
ring ingredients that have become wedged in the blade.
Your Vital Mixer Basic cannot replace all your kitchen appliances. You cannot use it
to mash potatoes, to beat eggs for a meringue or to prepare minced or juiced fruits
or vegetables. Also for very firm dough types (e.g.: yeast dough) or harsh ingredients
(e.g.: nuts, hard chocolate) this device is not suitable.
Important:
Do not let food residue to dry in the glass jar of your appliance. Clean
the appliance immediately after operation (see ›Care and Cleaning‹).
TIPS FOR PREPARATION
Always place liquid ingredients first in the Vital Mixer Basic, if it is not otherwise spe-
cified in the recipe.
Cut solid foods (vegetables, fruits, cheeses, cooked meats, fish and seafood) in about
2 cm pieces. Do not overload the motor with too hard or too large ingredients. Turn
the appliance off (ON/OFF-switch position ›0‹ (AUS/OFF) when the motor gets stuck
to avoid overheating (see: ›Trouble Shooting‹). Process the ingredients just a few
seconds. It is better to consider the quality of the product in between, as to obtain a
too fine, possibly mushy product.
With the 5 speeds and pulse function (switch position: ›P‹) you can prepare easily,
versatile and quickly a variety of dishes.
