Place the appliance on a firm, flat, stable, and dry surface. Do not place the appli-
ance near the edge of the working space.
To avoid overheating, do not operate the motor continuously for more than 10
seconds. Allow the motor to rest for at least 10 seconds before continuing. If the cut-
ting assembly gets stuck or the motor agitates noticeably slow, stop operation imme-
diately (release the ON/OFF button), and remove the obstacle in the glass contai-
ner (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’). Reduce the amount of food in the glass container.
Ensure not to overfill the glass container to avoid overflow. Observe the given maxi-
mum filling levels for various types of food. Divide up your food into appropriate
portions.
Do not use any hard or edged objects (e.g. knives, metal scrapers) with the appli-
ance to avoid damage to the surfaces and blades. Always remove inedible and
extremely hard parts (e.g. kernels, stalks, shells) before processing to avoid damage
to the blades.
ASSEMBLING THE APPLIANCE AND PROCESSING YOUR FOOD
1. Prepare your food (see: ‘Tips for Best Results’). Remove all inedible parts and cut
your food in pieces of sufficient size (approx. 3 - 4 cm).
2. Place the silicone ring on a stable, level surface near an appropriate wall power
outlet. Leave a distance of at least 20 cm to the edge of the table or counter and
to any other object. Then place the glass container right onto the middle of the
silicone ring. The glass container may not tilt or wobble.
WARNING:
The blades are very sharp. Only touch the pairs of blades and the
blade shaft by their plastic parts. Do not touch the blades with unprotected hands to
avoid severe injuries!
3. Place the blade shaft with the lower pair of blades facing downward onto the
fixed shaft in the glass container.
4. According to the type and amount of food and desired consistency, you may
install the middle pair of blades and/or upper pair of blades in addition (see:
‘Tips for Best Results’).
For this grasp the desired pair of blades by the fluted side of the plastic part, and
put it onto the blade shaft. If necessary, turn it a little until it slips downward into posi-
tion. Then, while holding the upper part of the blade shaft, turn the pair of blades
counter-clockwise to lock it onto the blade shaft.
