Cleaning and maintenance

  Attention: Hazard of injury!

• When disassembling, assembling or cleaning, do not reach into the sharp blades of the 4-blade special cutter with your hands! Hold the cutter at the top of the shaft only!
• Handle the special cutter with care to avoid injuries!

Note: All detachable accessory parts may also be cleaned in the dishwasher at low temperature and in the upper dish rack. However, we recommend to clean the special cutter  byhand as the blades may become blunt in the dishwasher after a while.
Tip: For food rich in natural dyes (e. g. carrots), seals and plastic parts of the accessory may change colour. Wipe these parts down with a few drops of cooking oil before cleaning them.

• Clean the appliance immediately after use so that residues do not dry on.
• Remove all detachable parts from the motor unit.
• Clean the outside of the motor unit with a damp tissue and wipe it dry.
• Clean all accessory parts using warm water with some mild detergent. For cleaning of the special cutter, use a conventional household cleaning brush.
• Prior to the next use, all accessory parts have to be completely dry.
• Do not use any abrasives or solvents!
• Never use a steam jet appliance for cleaning!

IMPORTANT: For storage and protection against injuries, we recommend placing both protective blade covers over the special cutter.

Tips for working with the appliance

• Remove stems, stones and resp. peels from the foods. Before processing the foods, cut them into adequately sized (not too big) pieces.

• Operate the appliance in the pulse-rhythm, i. e. blend/cut for some seconds

  • then short pause.
    Repeat this cycle for several times.

• If the motor shows signs of overload, reduce the ingredients to be crushed.

• The best results are achieved when processing smaller quantities.

• For very smelly foods like e. g. cinnamon sticks, the smell/taste of the food may be transferred to the working cover. This is normal and does not constitute a reason for complaint.

• For spices with intensive essential oils (e. g. cumin, cloves, etc.), the inside of the working container may get a dull surface. This is normal and does not constitute a reason for complaint.

• The values in the table below are indicative and essentially dependent on the freshness, quality and quantity of the food to be processed and on your personal taste.

Disposal/recycling

Packaging material
Do not simply throw the packaging material away but recycle it.
Deliver paper, cardboard and corrugated cardboard to waste paper collection points. Also put plastic packaging material and foils into the specific collection containers.

The printed or embossed markings indicate the materials which were used: PE stands for polyethylene (code 02 means high-density PE, 04 stands for low-density PE), PS stands for polystyrene and CPE for chlorinated polyethylene. PAP 20 means corrugated cardboard and PAP 21 other cardboard. All plastics are thermoplastics which are very easy and effi cient to produce. They are also very easy to recycle and therefore can even have a smaller ecological footprint than comparable cardboard packaging.

Disposal information
According to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (2012/19/EU),  this product may not be disposed of with other household waste at the end of its service life. Therefore please submit it e.g. at a municipal collection point (e.g. recycling center) according to the laws of your country of residence for the recycling of electrical and electronic appliances. Your municipality or city administration will inform you about the disposal options.

Tip: Give appliances that are no longer required but still functional to a charitable purpose (e.g. as a donation). This does not only improve the environmental balance and ensures more sustainability, but also testifi es to a welcome social commitment.
