Safety information

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
► Connect the appliance only to correctly installed mains power sockets that supply a current rating of 220 – 240 V~, at 50/60 Hz.
► To avoid potential risks, if the appliance power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its customer service or by a qualified technician.
► In event of operating malfunctions and before cleaning the appliance, remove the power plug from the mains power socket.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
► Always remove the power cable from the socket by pulling on the plug, not on the power cable itself.
► Do not kink or crush the power cable, and route the cable so that it cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
► Do not expose the appliance to humidity and do not use it outdoors. If any liquid gets into the housing, disconnect the appliance from the mains power socket immediately and have it repaired by a qualified technician.
► Never hold the appliance, power cable or power plug with wet hands.
► If the power cable or the motor unit are damaged, you must have the appliance repaired by qualified technicians before using it again. Do not attempt to open the motor unit housing. This can lead to risks and also invalidates the warranty.
► Disconnect the appliance from the mains power source immediately after use. The appliance is completely free of electrical power only when unplugged.
Never immerse the motor unit in liquid and do not allow any liquids to enter the motor unit casing.

Operation

Chopping

Place the bowl 9 on the non-slip ring 11.
Place the blade holder 7 with the blade 8 onto the guide axis 10.
Prepare the food:
CAUTION PROPERTY DAMAGE!
► Particularly hard foods should be cut into small pieces (approx. 2 cm) before processing. Otherwise, the motor unit could block. Use a pulsing processing method when working with hard foods. To do this, press the relevant speed button 1/2 several times.
• Chop solid food into pieces approx. 2 cm in size.
• Removes stems and stalks from herbs.
• Remove the shell from nuts, e.g. walnuts.
• Remove bones, skin and sinew from meat.
Add the food to the bowl 9. For optimum results, we recommend the following maximum filling quantities:
Food| Max. ﬁlling quantity| Processing time| Speed
---|---|---|---
Garlic| 250 g| pulse
approx. 5 x 2 sec.| Level II
Onions| 250 g| pulse
approx. 5 x 1 sec.| Level I
Carrots| 250 g| 2 x 5 sec.| Level I
Almonds| 250 g| coarse: 1 x 10 sec.
medium: 1 x 15 sec.
ﬁne: 3 x 15 sec.| Level II
Meat (cubed
2 x 2 cm)| 250 g| 6 x 5 sec.| Level II
Ice cubes| 100 g*| pulse
coarse 10 x 1 sec.
ﬁne 20 x 1 sec.| Level II

The times and quantities listed in this table are guide values and can vary depending on the composition of the processed food!
*100 g is the ideal ﬁlling quantity for crushing ice. You can add ice cubes up to the 500 ml mark. The ice will, however, not be crushed so evenly.

Place the lid 5 onto the bowl 9 so that the sealing ring 6 rests on the edge of the bowl 9 and the blade holder 7 protrudes through the opening of the lid 5.One of the two catches 13 that are located on the inner ring of the lid 5 should point forwards, towards you.
Place the motor unit 3 onto the lid 5 so that the logo is facing it. The two catches 13 on the inner ring of the lid 5 now engage into the two recesses on the bottom of the motor unit 3. If the catches 13 do not slide immediately into the recesses on the bottom of the motor unit 3, turn the motor unit 3 a little until it rests flush on the lid 5 and the catches 13 have slid into the recesses.
Insert the plug into a mains power socket.
NOTE
Hold the bowl 9 firmly with one hand and the motor unit 3 with the other hand while processing food.
Press the required speed button 1/2. The blade 8 rotates as long as you keep the speed button 1/2 pressed. The motor stops as soon as it is released.
CAUTION PROPERTY DAMAGE!
If the blade 8 stops and starts or does not turn at all, release of the speed button 1/2 immediately and pull out the mains plug. Check whether the blade 8 is jammed as a result of too hard/tough food and free this. Otherwise, the motor unit could overheat.
NOTE
► If food remains stuck on the inside of the bowl 9 and the blade 8 cannot reach it any more, open the lid 5 and push the food back down with a spatula or similar.
Once the food is fully chopped, release of the speed button 1/2.
Remove the power plug from the socket.
WARNING RISK OF INJURY!
Never attempt to remove food from the bowl 9 while the blade 8 is still turning. There is a risk of injury and food can also spray out and make a mess.
Wait until the blade 8 has come to a complete standstill.
Lift the motor unit 3 off the lid 5.
Remove the lid 5.
WARNING RISK OF INJURY!
► Handle the extremely sharp blade 8 with caution as it can cause injuries.
Keep the blade 8 out of the reach of children.
Pull the blade holder 7 with the blade 8 carefully out of the bowl 9.
Remove the food.

Whipping cream

You can also use the appliance to whip cream (min. 200 ml, max. 400 ml) with the help of the emulsifying disc w:

Place the bowl 9 on the non-slip ring 11.
Push the emulsifying disc w onto the blade holder 7:
- To whip 200400 ml of cream, place the emulsifying disc 12 onto the blade holder 7 so that the emulsifying disc w is in contact with both parts of the blade 8 and clicks into place (fig. 1):
Place the blade holder 7 with the emulsifying disc 12 onto the guide axis 10.
Add the cream.
Place the lid 5 onto the bowl 9 so that the sealing ring 6 rests on the edge of the bowl 9 and the blade holder 7 protrudes through the opening of the lid 5. One of the two catches 13 that are located on the inner ring of the lid 5 should point forwards, towards you.
Place the motor unit 3 onto the lid 5 so that the logo is facing it. The two catches 13 on the inner ring of the lid 5 now engage into the two recesses on the bottom of the motor unit 3. If the catches 13 do not slide immediately into the recesses on the bottom of the motor unit 3, turn the motor unit 3 a little until it rests flush on the lid 5 and the catches 13 have slid into the recesses.
Insert the plug into a mains socket.
NOTE
► To whip cream, you should make sure that it is chilled well before whipping (max. 8°C/fridge temperature).
► For 200 ml of cream, we recommend a whipping time of around 3040 seconds at speed level I 2.
► For 400 ml of cream, we recommend a whipping time of around 40 seconds at speed level I 2.
► The whipping time can vary, however, depending on the amount and various factors, such as fat content or the ambient temperature. Keep an eye on the cream while you are whipping it and adjust the whipping time to suit your needs.

Cleaning and care

WARNING RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
► Always remove the plug from the mains power socket before cleaning the appliance.
► You must never immerse the appliance in water or hold it under running water when cleaning it.

WARNING RISK OF INJURY!

Clean the bowl 9, emulsifying disc 12, lid 5 sealing ring 6, blade holder 7 with blade 8, the small rubber disc of the blade holder 7 and the non-slip ring 11 in warm water with a little mild detergent. Rinse all the parts using clean water to remove any detergent residues. Dry all parts well.
NOTE
Alternatively, you can clean the bowl 9, emulsifying disc 12, blade holder 7 with blade 8 and the lid 5 with the sealing ring 6 in the dishwasher. If possible, place the parts in the top basket of the dishwasher. Ensure that the parts are not trapped in any way.
After cleaning, push the sealing ring 6 back onto the flange of the lid 5. Ensure that the flat side of the sealing ring 6 rests flat on the lid 5.
