CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

Clean the bowl immediately after use. The appliance must not be immersed in water. Do not place the motor unit (A) under running water. After use, unplug the appliance. Cleaning your bowl after use:
Press on the locks (C2) and lift the bowl assembly (C).
Place the bowl on a ﬂat surface.
Unlock the lid by turning it a quarter of a turn in a clockwise direction. Remove the lid carefully.
Take care with the sharp edges of the Ultrablade knife (E1) and the kneading/ grinding blade(E4) when cleaning the mand when emptying the bowl—the yareextremely sharp.
When the parts have cooled down:
– Remove the spindle (C3), the seal (C4) and the locking ring (C5) (see Fig.13).
– Clean the bowl (C), spindle (C3), seal (C4), locking ring (C5), accessories (E1), (E2), (E3), (E4), (E5), steam regulator cap (D1), lid (D2), sealing ring (D4) and seal holder (D3), using a sponge and warm, soapy water.
Rinse each of the parts under running water.
For food stuck in the bowl, soak for several hours with water with added washing-up liquid and scrape off any residue where required using the spatula (F) or with the rough side of a sponge.
In cases of limescale in the bowl, use the rough side of a sponge, soaked in white vinegar if necessary.
To maintain the appearance and lifespan of the glass screen, clean it using a sponge—do not use the abrasive side in order to avoid scratches.
Use a damp cloth to clean the motor unit (A). Dry off thoroughly.
For easier cleaning, please note that the bowl, lid assembly and accessories are dishwasher-safe, with the exception of the spindle (C3 and C4) and the locking ring (C5) (see Fig.14).
The accessories, detachable spindle and lid components may become slightly discoloured when certain ingredients are used, (curry, carrot juice, etc.). This does not pose a risk to your health and will not affect the operation of your appliance. To avoid this, clean these parts immediately after use.
Before reusing your bowl assembly (C), always ensure that the electrical contacts under the bowl are clean and dry.
To maintain the appearance and lifespan of the lid of your appliance, wash it by hand. Do not use the abrasive side of sponges, as this could lead to scratches.
To avoid damaging the bowl (C), ensure that you follow the operating instructions for your dishwasher; do not increase the amount of salt or dishwasher product.

IMPORTANT: APPLIANCE ENTERING SECURITY MODE

Your appliance is equipped, asstandard, with electronic motor protection devices to ensure a long lifespan. This electronic security system safeguards the motor against abnormal use,meaning your motoris completely protected.
Under certain, very extreme operating conditions that do not comply with the recommendations contained in the manual (see “YOUR APPLIANCE” table: volumes potentially too big and/or unusually long operating time and/or not enough time allowed between recipes), the electronic protection system will be triggered to protect the motor; in this case, the appliance will stop and a “security message” will appear on the screen to indicate that the appliance has temporarily stopped working.

If a “security message” appears on your screen and your appliance stops operating, proceed as follows:

Leave your appliance plugged in and the 0/I switch in position 1 “ON” (G).
Refer to the on-screen recommendations to modify your programme settings (see “YOUR APPLIANCE” table for ingredient quantities/cooking time/temperature/accessory type). Our Customer service department is available in case of any questions (see contact information in the warranty booklet).

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR APPLIANCE DOES NOT WORK

PROBLEMS	CAUSES	SOLUTIONS
Food is insufficiently cooked	The cooking times provided are intended as a

guide—in most cases they are a reliable indicator of cooking times.
However, certain factors will impact cooking times:
– the size of the ingredients food (cut or not cut)
– the volume of ingredients
– the variety and ripeness of vegetables
– whether the ingredients are frozen, etc.| Add cooking time by pressing the + key on the display (86).
Use smaller volumes of ingredients.
Steam regulator cap not correctly positioned or not in place| Position the steam regulator cap in the “max’ position, this position retains the maximum amount of heat in the bowl for all cooking functions (soups, steaming, etc.).
This position also prevents splashing when mixing.The “low steam setting” position allows the maximum amount of condensation to escape, giving dishes or sauces a better consistency (risotto, egg custard desserts, sauces, etc.).
Steamed food is insufficiently cooked| Incorrect amount of water in the bowl.
Volume of ingredients too high.| The quantity of water in the bowl must correspond to the markings (0.7 L).
You can also use manual mode by selecting a temperature of 120°C and a cooking time depending on the quantity and type of ingredients.
Use smaller volumes of ingredients.
