CAUTION: the safety precautions are part of the appliance. Read them carefully before using your new appliance for the first time. Keep them in a place where you can find and refer to them later on.

SAFETY LOCKING

The appliance can run only when the jug (C) or accessories (D or E) are correctly positioned and locked on the motor unit (A).

USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Before using your appliance for the first time, clean all the accessories (C, D, E, F) in warm soapy water, except for the motor unit (A).
  CAUTION: The blades are extremely sharp; handle them with caution when using or cleaning the appliance.

• Make sure all the packaging has been removed before operating the appliance.

• Important note: Turn the speed selector (B) to “0” before placing the blender jug or accessories on the motor unit.

• The appliance starts only if the jug or accessory is correctly positioned and locked on its body.

• Do not operate the blender if the lid is not in place.

USING YOUR APPLIANCE

• Moisten the gasket (c2) and position it correctly on the blade unit (c1) : the 3 folds of the gasket must be visible once it is in place. If it is positioned in the other direction, you will not be able to lock the blade unit on the jug. (Fig. 1).

• Place the assembly (c1+c2) on the base of the jug (c3). Lock it by rotating the blade unit through a quarter turn in the anticlockwise direction. (Fig. 2).

• Introduce the ingredients into the assembled jug without exceeding the maximum level indicated:
  * 1.25L for thick mixtures*
  1L for liquid preparations.**

• Lock the lid (c4) on the jug. Place the measuring cup (c5) in its recess on the lid.

• Place the blender jug assembly (C) on the motor unit (A). The red lock (open is aligned in the slot on the motor unit. (Fig. 3 – position 1)

• Then rotate the blender jug (C) through a quarter turn until the green lock (closed) appears. (Fig. 3 – position 2).
  2 jug positions are possible: handle on the right or left of the motor unit.

• Do not use the blender for more than three minutes at a time.

• With the herb chopper (D) you can chop ingredients like onions, garlic, meat (cut into pieces) and dry fruits in a few seconds, make crumbs (rusk).
  Do not use the herb chopper for liquid preparations (fruit juices, etc.)

• With the spice grinder (E) you can grind spices in a few seconds: coriander seeds, pepper, etc.

• These accessories are equipped with a bowl (F) that prevents access to the blades during use.

1- Rotate the bowl (F) and pour the ingredients.
2- Position the gasket (d1) or (e1) in its recess on the blade unit (d2 or e2). (Fig. 4). Position the blade unit on the bowl aligning both the marks on the bowl and the blade unit. Lock the accessory by rotating the blade unit through a quarter turn in the anticlockwise direction. (Fig. 5).
Caution: leaks can occur if the accessory is not locked correctly.
3- Rotate the assembled assembly (D or E) and position it on the motor unit. The red lock (open) is aligned in the slot on the motor unit. (Fig 6 – position 1)
4- Then rotate the assembled accessory (D or E) through a quarter turn clockwise until the green lock (closed) appears. (Fig. 6 – position 2).
5- Plug in the appliance and turn the speed selector (B) to the desired position or apply a few pulses. Hold the bowl (F) when the appliance is running. To stop the appliance, turn the speed selector (B) back to position “0”.
6- Unlock the accessory by rotating it through a quarter turn in the anticlockwise direction, until the red lock (open) appears.
Remove the assembled accessory (D, E) from the motor unit.
Turn it over on the worktop before unlocking the blade unit (d2, e2) from the bowl (F) in the reverse order of the assembly. The blades are very sharp: handle them with caution to avoid injury.
You can then collect the preparation in the bowl.
