How to use the appliance

Hand blender (see A)

The hand blender is perfectly suited for preparing dips, sauces, soups, mayonnaise and baby food as well as for mixing drinks, smoothies or milk shakes.

• Click the motor part (3) onto the blender shaft (5).
• Position the hand blender deep in a bowl or beaker. Only then, press switch (1) or (2) to operate. For best blending results use speed «II».
• After use, press the release buttons (4) to detach the motor part.

When blending directly in a saucepan while cooking, remove the pan from the stove first to avoid splashing of the boiling liquid (risk of scalding).

Recipe example: Mayonnaise

250 g oil (e.g. sunflower oil), 1 egg and 1 extra egg yolk 1–2 tbsp. vinegar (approx. 15 g), salt and pepper to taste.

Place all ingredients (at room temperature) into the beaker in the order as above. Place the hand blender on the bottom of the beaker. Operate the hand blender at maximum speed, keep it in this position until the oil starts emulsifying. Then without switching off slowly raise the shaft to the top of the mixture and back down to incorporate the rest of the oil. Processing time: from 1 minute (for salad) up to 2 minutes for more stiffness (e.g. for dip).

Whisk (see A)

Use the whisk only for whipping cream, beating egg whites and mixing sponges and ready-mix desserts.

• Insert the whisk (6b) into the whisk gear box (6a), then click the motor part (3) onto the gear box.
• Place the whisk deep in a bowl. Only then, press switch (1) to operate.
• After use, press the release buttons to detach the motor part. Then pull the whisk out of the gear box.

For best results

• Use a medium-sized bowl.
• Only use speed «I» to operate the whisk.
• Move the whisk clockwise holding it slightly inclined.
• Only whip up to 400 ml chilled cream (min. 30 % fat content, 4–8 °C).
• Only whip up to 4 egg whites.

Choppers (see C)

The choppers (8) and (9) are perfectly suited for chopping meat, hard cheese, onions, herbs, garlic, carrots, nuts, almonds etc. Always chop hard food (e.g. Parmesan, chocolate) at speed «II».
For best results, see the processing table D.

Maximum operation time for the «hc» chopper: 2 minutes. Do not chop extremely hard food, such as ice cubes, nutmeg, coffee beans or grains.

Before chopping …

• Pre-cut meat, cheese, onions, carrots.
• Remove stems from herbs, shell nuts.
• Remove bones, tendons and gristle from meat.
• Always make sure that the anti-slip ring(8d, 9d) is attached to the chopper bowl.

Caution: The blade is very sharp! Always hold it by the upper plastic part and handle it carefully.

1. Carefully remove the protective cover from the blade (b).
2. Place the blade on the centre pin of the chopper bowl, press it down and give it a turn until it locks.
3. Fill the chopper bowl with food and put on the lid.
4. Click the motor part onto the lid.
5. Press switch (1) or (2) to operate the chopper. During processing, hold the motor part with one hand and the chopper bowl with the other.
6. After use, unplug and press the release buttons (4) to detach the motor part.

Place 40 g prunes and 40 g creamy honey in the «hc» chopper bowl. Operate 4 seconds using speed «II». Then add 10 ml water (vanilla-flavoured) and resume chopping for another second.

Cleaning (see B)

Clean the motor part (3) and the whisk gear box (6a) with a damp cloth only. Clean the «ca» chopper lid (9a) only under running water. Do not place it in the dishwasher.
