Note:
The above processing times are only a reference. To prevent ingredients
from splattering out of the bowl, select an initial speed level of 1 or 2.
Later set a higher speed based on requirements.
BLENDING
ASSEMBLING THE BLENDER
1. If the blending jar
A20
is not seated on the blade assembly
A21
, put it on and turn
it clockwise to lock it in position.
2. Seat the outer lid
A19
on to the blending jar and push it down along its entire
perimeter so that it firmly adheres to the edges of the blending jar. Insert the cap
A18
into hole of the lid
A19
so that the tabs along the perimeter of the cap slide into
the grooves in the lid
A19
. Secure the cap
A18
in position by turning it clockwise.
3. Make sure that the appliance is turned off and disconnected from the power socket.
The arm
A12
must be tilted down to the horizontal position, the mixing head
shaft
A9
must be without attachments
A1
to
A4
and the stainless steel bowl
A7
must be seated in the base unit
A8
. Take the lid
A10
off the arm
A12
and place the
assembled blending jar on to the hub
A11
. Secure the blending jar on the hub by
turning it clockwise. The appliance is equipped with a safety mechanism that will
prevent the blender from starting unless it is correctly secured.
USING THE BLENDER
1. The blender is intended for preparing meals and drinks such as nutritional drinks,
milkshakes, creamy soups, sauces, spreads, fresh baby foods, etc. It is not intended
for juicing fruit and vegetables, preparing potato purée, yeast dough or for
whipping egg whites.
2. Place the prepared ingredients into the blending jar
A20
and assemble the blender
according to the instructions in chapter Assembling and disassembling the blender.
Note:
The maximum capacity of the blending jar
A20
is 1.5 litres, however,
we do not recommend filling the blending jar with an amount of liquid
greater than 1 litre. Certain liquids increase in volume while blending
and, therefore, are best prepared in smaller batches.
3. Make sure that the appliance is correctly assembled and that the speed control knob
A15
is set to position 0 (stand-by mode). Connect the power cord to a power socket.
4. Set the required speed using the speed control knob. We recommend to first set
the slower speed to allow the ingredients to mix together. Then you can increase
the speed. Another alternative is to directly select a blending mode, which has the
appropriate speed already set. While blending, always use your hand to hold down
the lid from above.
Attention:
The maximum operating time of the blender is 1 minute. Do
not leave the appliance in continuous operation for longer than
indicated above. Then allow the appliance to cool down for 10
minutes.
5. While blending, you may add food or liquids to the blending jar
A20
through the
hole in the lid
A19
after removing the inner cap
A18
. Never open the lid
A19
during
operation. When processing hot liquids, the inner cap
A18
must remain closed.
6. In the event that food is sticking to the blade assembly
A21
or the walls of the
blending jar
A20
, turn the appliance off by turning the speed control knob to
position 0 (stand-by mode) and disconnect it from the power socket. Make sure that
the blade assembly has stopped rotating. Remove the blending jar from the hub.
Open the lid and, using a spatula, clean the blade assembly and the walls of the
blending jar. Put the lid back on and reattach the blender assembly to the multi-
function head. Plug the power cord into a power socket and continue blending.
7. After you have finished using the appliance, set the speed control knob to position 0
(stand-by mode) and disconnect the power cord from the power socket. Check that
the blade assembly
A21
has stopped rotating and take the blending jar assembly off
the multi-function head. Use a soft plastic spatula to remove food from the blending
jar.
8. Clean out the individual parts after each use according to the instructions in chapter
Cleaning and maintenance.
DISASSEMBLING THE BLENDER
Note:
Before disassembling the blender, the blending jar must be empty and
clean.
1. Remove the lid
A19
from the blending jar
A20
.
2. Turn the blending jar upside down
3. Use one hand to grasp the handle of the blending jar and with the other hand
release the removable blade assembly
A21
by turning it anticlockwise, see fig.
C2
.
4. In the event that the blending jar cannot be released manually, fasten it into the hub
A11
of the blending hub
A9
and put the lid A19
on to the blending jar, see fig.
C3
.
5. With one hand, gently push down on the lid
A19
from above and with the other
hand turn the blending jar clockwise so that it is slightly released from the hub
A9
,
see fig
C4
.
6. Take the blending jar off the hub
A9
.
7. Remove the blade assembly
A21
by repeating steps 1 to 3.
USING THE SMOOTHIE BLENDER
1. The smoothie blender is intended for preparing fruit and vegetable smoothie drinks.
2. Add the liquids and food that you wish to blend into the nutri-bottle
A22
. Larger
ingredients must be first cut into cubes measuring approximately 2 cm. When filling
the nutri-bottle
A22
, follow all the safety instructions and the maximum amounts
of ingredients as specified for the respective type of accessory in subchapter Quick
guide to processing ingredients. The maximum capacity of the nutri-bottle
A22
is
0.6 litres. Never fill it past the maximum mark.
3. Put the blade assembly
A23
on to the neck of the nutri-bottle
A22
so that the chopping
blades point into the nutri-bottle
A22
and screw it in tightly, see figure
B2
.
Warning:
When handling the blade assembly
A23
, in order to prevent
injury, it is necessary to be especially careful. Do not touch the
blade edge.
4. Make sure that the appliance is turned off and disconnected from the power socket.
The arm
A12
must be tilted down to the horizontal position, the shaft of the hub
A9
must be without attachments
A1
to
A4
and the stainless steel bowl
A7
must be
seated in the base unit
A8
. Remove the cover
A10
from the arm
A12
.
5. Turn the assembled nutri-bottle
A22
over so that the blade assembly
A23
is at the
bottom. As shown in figure
B4
, place the assembled nutri-bottle on to the hub
A11
and turn it clockwise all the way. The appliance is now assembled and ready for use.
6. Set the speed control knob
A15
to the smoothie mode.
7. Adhere to the maximum amount of food, processing times and speed settings as
specified in the table in the Quick guide to processing ingredients. The maximum
continuous operating time is 1 minute.
Attention:
The shaft of hub
A9
will move when the smoothie blender is
used.
8. After you have finished using the appliance, set the speed control knob
A15
to
position 0 (off) and disconnect the power cord plug from the power socket. Before
disconnecting it from the power socket, wait until the moving parts come to a stop.
9. To disassemble proceed in the reverse sequence. The smoothie blender must be
taken off the appliance very carefully so as not to loosen the blade assembly
A23
from the neck of the nutri-bottle
A22
.
10. If you wish to use the bottle
A22
as a drink bottle, attach the lid
A24
to the neck
of the nutri-bottle
A22
, see figure
B5
. Make sure that the drinking spout is properly
closed so as not to spill the bottle‘s contents when carrying it.
ADVICE AND TIPS FOR BLENDING
■
First cut food with a firm consistency such as fruit and vegetables into smaller pieces
measuring 2 to 3 cm and only then blend it.
■
First, blend a smaller amount of ingredients and then gradually add more ingredients
through the hole in the lid
A19
while blending. In this way, you will achieve better
results than by adding all ingredients into the blending jar
A20
at once.
■
If you need to blend food of a solid consistency together with liquids, we
recommend that you first blend the food of solid consistency with a smaller amount
of the liquids. Then gradually add the remaining liquids through the hole in the lid
A19
while blending. While blending, always use your hand to hold down the lid from
above.
■
To blend very thick liquids, we recommend using the pulse level so that the blade
assembly
A21
does not get jammed too often. Start the blender repeatedly in short
intervals.
■
Ice cubes must be processed immediately upon being removed from the freezer.
When the ice starts to melt, the ice cubes will stick together and it will not be
possible to blend them.
