•The function for cooking without a lid is not suitable for jams, milk-based mixtures or tomato sauces (risk of splashing).
•Do not remove the drive shaft immediately after use. Carefully pour water into the empty pot to cool it down. Attention, there is a risk of splashing if the pot is still very hot

NOTE
The times given for steam cooking serve as a guide. Certain factors affect cook- ing times: The size of the vegetables (cut or uncut), the amount of ingredients, the variety and ripeness of the vegetables, and the amountof water in the pot, which must correspond to the marking (0.7 l). Be sure to turn the locking cap in the max. direction. If the food is undercooked, you can add extra cooking time.

4.2| MOUNTING THE POT, ACCESSORIES AND LID

•  Make sure all packaging has been removed before first use, especially the protection between the pot 8 and the motor unit 10 .

• Before using for the first time, clean all components, except for the motor unit 10 , in warm water with dishwashing liquid. The pot 8 is equipped with a removable drive shaft 6 that can be removed for easier cleaning.

• Insert the sealing ring for the pot 4 into the seal carrier 3 and attach the assembled parts on the lid (Fig. C1).

• Position the seal ring for the drive shaft 7 on the drive shaft 6 .

• Fasten the drive shaft down in the pot using the locking ring 9 (Fig. C2). If you are cooking without a lid, position the sealing ring 7 on the drive shaft 6 . Lock the assembled parts with the locking ring 9 on the pot base (Fig. C2).

• Place the required accessories in the container:
  →  Insert the accessory 19 – 23 onto the drive at the bottom of the container (Fig. C3).
  → Fill the pot with 0.7 l of cooking liquid (water, sauce, etc.) (Fig. C4) and then place the steamer insert inside the pot (Fig. C5) for steaming.

• Place the ingredients in the pot or steamer insert.

• Place the lid 2 on the pot 8 and align the two triangles. Lock the lid without force by turning it in the direction of the arrow (Fig. C6).

• Place the sealing cap 1 on the lid. There are three possible positions for the cap (Fig. C7). Please make sure that the lid is locked at the min. or max. level, otherwise it may fall out.

• Position the pot 8 on the motor unit 10 until it clicks into place (Fig. C9).

NOTE
The appliance will only start when the pot and lid are correctly positioned and locked onto the motor unit.
If one or both components are incorrectly positioned or locked, a safety warning will appear on the screen (Fig. C10).
NOTE
The appliance is equipped with a safety function for locking the lid. The lid is locked every time the appliance is in use. This prevents the lid from opening while a dish is being prepared.
Do not try to force the lid open when it is locked. This safety feature is disabled every time the appliance is turned off. If you have selected a temperature of 50°C or more and a speed of 5 or more, a 10-second countdown will appear on the control panel. Opening the lid is only possible after this countdown has ended.

In the braised dishes, stews, sauce, dessert and manual pro- grams, the appliance’s motor runs at a spe- cific speed to preserve the prepared food and prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. To stop the keep-warm process, simply press the Ready button. After kneading in the bread and shortbread programs, the appliance switches for 40 minutes to Dough rising mode at 30°C to give your dough a better volume. If you open the lid or remove the container from the base, a program will end. If you want to stop this mode, press the Settings 12 button and then the Reset button.
5. If an automatic program has been started, you have the option of switching off the appliance at any time by pressing the Stop button. The automatic program is then stopped. You can restart it by pressing Start. If you entered the wrong program and want to cancel the process, press the Cancel/Back button.
6. With the Heat up program you can heat up cooked food in 20 minutes (adjustable from 5 to 60 minutes).

5.3| MANUAL MODE
You can set the speed, temperature and cooking time of your WMF Avantgarde individually for your own recipes. To do this, access the Manual mode function from the home screen.

Two intermittent speeds (S1, S2), 10 progressive continuous speeds (S3 – S12) and a pulsating maximum speed (S13).
| Choose a cooking temperature between 30 and 150°C.
| Choose an operating time from 5 seconds to 2 hours.
+-| Increase or decrease the speed, cooking temperature, and cooking time.

5.4| SETTINGS

From the home screen you can access the Settings ( ) function.
With this function, you can update the data saved the first time you used the WMF Avantgarde.
You can also connect your appliance to WiFi or link it to the app if you didn’t do so the first time you used the appliance.
5.5| SCALE
Make sure the appliance is stable on the work surface and that the mains cable is not stretched or pinched under the unit, as this may result in an incorrect weight.
Do not touch the Avantgarde while using the scale and make sure that no objects are pressing on or against the appliance. During calibration or weighing, make sure that nothing causes your WMF Avantgarde to vibrate (e.g. an induction hob).
Using weighing function
When the weigh button 15 lights up, you can weigh your ingredients. The pot 8 must be locked onto the motor unit 10 to weigh the ingredients.
There are two possible uses for the scale:
Weighing in a recipe: You can weigh your ingredients as you prepare your recipe at the beginning of each new step:

1. Press the scale symbol (Fig. F1).
2. Wait a few seconds for the automatic calibration to be completed.
3. Weigh the ingredient shown on the screen by adding it to the pot and pressing OK. 4
4. If the step requires more than one ingredient, the screen will display the name of the next ingredient to be weighed.
5. Once all of the ingredients in the step have been weighed, press OK and continue with the recipe by following the information on the center button.

Manual weighing: You can weigh all ingredients before preparing your recipe in manual mode or with automatic programs.

1. Press the scale symbol (Fig. F1).

2. Wait a few seconds for the automatic calibration to be completed.

3. Weigh the ingredient (Fig. F2).

4. If you want to weigh more ingredients, calibrate the scale by pressing the Tare button and add the next ingredient. Without intermediate calibration, the maximum weight allowed in a single weighing is 4 kg. Above this weight, an overload message will be displayed (Fig. F2).
   NOTE
   The scale display is reset to 0 with the Tare button. You can choose from different units (g, cl, ml, oz). The unit of weight is changed with the Unit button (g, cl, ml, oz).

5. Repeat this process as many times as necessary without exceeding a total weight of 8 kg.

ATTENTION
Do not exceed the maximum levels indicated in Section 4.1 during use.
NOTE
After 15 minutes of inactivity, the appliance switches to standby mode. You can press the display 17 or one of the touch keys 15 – 16 to exit standby mode.
5.6| UPDATES
To ensure that the product functions work optimally, your WMF Avantgarde has the option of performing updates. For this, a window appears on the display asking you to accept or not accept installation of the latest available update. If you tap Accept, your WMF Avantgarde will carry out the update.

5.7| OFFLINE MODE

You can use the WMF Avantgarde in offline mode. The following functions are available in offline mode:
Recipe library: See Section 4.4 for detailed information on the recipe library. The recipe library gives you access to 300 recipes.
Automatic programs: Detailed information on using automatic programs can be found above.
Manual mode: Detailed information on using the manual mode can be found above.

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

We recommend that you clean the entire appliance immediately after each use! To do so, first unplug the mains plug from the socket. The motor block 10 must not be immersed in water.
To clean the pot, proceed as follows:

1. Press down the locks and lift the pot (Fig. C12).

2. Place the pot on a flat surface.

3. Unlock the lid by rotating it a quarter turn clockwise. Carefully remove the lid.
   CAUTION
   When cleaning and emptying the pot, be careful with the sharp edges of the Ultrablade utility knife 19 and kneading/grinding knife 22 – these are extremely sharp.

4.  After the parts have cooled:
   → Remove drive 6 , seal 7 and locking ring 9 (Fig. E1)
   → Clean the container 8 , drive 6 , seal 7 and locking ring 9 , accessories 19 – 23 , locking cap 1 , lid 2 ,seal ring 4 and seal carrier 3 with a sponge and warm soapy water.

5. Rinse all parts under running water.
   → If food sticks to the pot, soak it in water with dishwashing liquid for a few hours.
   Then remove any residue with the spatula 25 or using the rough side of a sponge.
   → In the case of limescale build-up in the pot, use the rough side of a sponge dipped in white vinegar, if necessary.
   → To maintain the appearance and lifespan of the glass screen, clean it with a sponge.
   Do not use the rough side so as to avoid scratches.

6.  Clean the motor block 10 with a damp cloth.
   Dry it thoroughly.

For easier cleaning, please note that the pot, the assembled lid and the accessories are dishwasher-safe. The drive ( 6 / 7 ) and the locking ring 9 (Fig. E4) are not, however.
NOTE

The accessories, removable spindle and  lid parts may become discolored when using certain ingredients (curry, carrot juice,etc.). This does not pose a risk to your health, nor does it affect the operation of the appliance. To avoid discoloring, clean these parts immediately after use.
Wash the appliance’s lid to maintain its appearance and lifespan. Do not use the rough side of sponges as this can lead to scratches.
To avoid altering the material of the container 8 , always follow the instructions for your dishwasher, and do not increase salt or detergent quantities.
CAUTION
Before using the pot 8 again, always ensure that the electrical contacts under the container are clean and dry.
Cleaning the multi-chopper Clean the rasping and grating discs26 – 28 and the drive 29 with hot water and a few drops of dishwashing liquid.
Some foods can stain plastic (e.g. carrots). To soften the stain, rub the stained areas with a cloth or kitchen towel soaked in cooking oil, then clean as usual. Carry out this cleaning immediately after use in order to be able to soften the stain.

TROUBLESHOOTING

7.1| IMPORTANT NOTES
WARNING
Repairs to the wiring and work on electrical components may only be carried out by qualified specialists. Failure to follow these instructions could result in death from electric shock. Do not use the appliance if it is visibly damaged!
IMPORTANT: The appliance switches to safety mode!
Your appliance comes with electronic motor protection devices as standard to ensure a long life. This electronic safety system protects the motor from abnormal use, giving it full protection.
Under certain very extreme operating conditions which do not comply with the recommendations in the handbook (“YOUR MACHINE” table: quantities that may be too large and/or unusually long operating times and/or insufficient pauses between recipes), the electronic protection system protecting the motor trips. In this case, the appliance turns off and a safety message appears on the display to indicate that the appliance is temporarily not operational.
If a safety message appears on the display and the appliance stops working, do the following:

• Leave the appliance plugged in and the on/off switch in position 1 (Fig. C8).
• For information on changing the program settings, see the recommendations on the display (information on ingredient quantities, cooking time, temperature and accessory type).
• If you have any questions, please contact our customer service (for contact information, see the warranty statement).

IMPORTANT: This appliance is equipped with a microprocessor that controls and monitors its stability!

• In the event of instability, the motor speed is  automatically reduced. If this instability persists, the motor will stop, and a safety message appears on the screen.
•  Make sure not to overload with ingredients, and to choose a suitable speed.
• Check that you are using the recommended accessories.
• Then restart your appliance as usual.

Meaning of the “crossed-out wheeled garbage can” symbol: The symbol of a crossed-out garbage can, which is regularly displayed on electrical and electronic equipment indicates that the respective device must be collected separately from unsorted municipal waste at the end of its service life.
Separate collection of old appliances
Electrical and electronic equipment that has become waste is referred to as old equipment. Owners of old equipment must dispose of it separately from unsorted municipal waste. Old devices belong, in particular not to be disposed of with household waste but in the special collection and return systems.
The separate disposal of a household appliance avoids possible negative effects on the environment and human health caused by improper disposal. It also enables recycling of the materials that make up the appliance, which in turn results in a significant saving of energy and resources.
If the products contain batteries and accumulators or lamps that can be removed from the old device non-destructively from the old device, you, as the end user, are legally obligated to remove them before disposal and to dispose of them separately as batteries or lamps disposed of.
Options for returning old appliances
Owners of old appliances from private households can return them free of charge to the collection points of the public waste disposal authorities or to the take-back points set up by manufacturers or distributors as defined by ElektroG. Information on the nearest waste collection point can be obtained from the manufacturer or distributor.
Data protection
We would like to point out to all end users of old electrical and electronic equipment that you are responsible for deleting personal data from the old equipment to be disposed of.
