2.  First, fit the lid on the blender jug and turn it clock wise until it clicks into place. Once you have done this, place the blender jug on the motor unit.

3.  Place the blender jug on the motor unit with the arrow of the motor unit pointing to the I on the container.
   Make sure that the blender jug is correctly positioned and locked in place. Turn the container clockwise until the two arrows are pointing at one another. The container is now engaged and sits securely on the motor block.

4.  You can add more ingredients through the opening in the lid. Make sure to follow the other safety and usage instructions for the blender jug.

Setting the speed

• Use the rotating control knob to set the speed (stepless adjustment). To do so, turn the knob clockwise to increase the speed or counter-clockwise to reduce the speed.
• Turn the control knob to OFF to switch off Kaia.

Selecting a programme

• Turn the control knob to MODE to select a programme.
• Select the P button for the pulse mode, with which you can mix at high speed with short intervals. This function is only suitable for the blade attachment.
• Select the crushed-ice mode for the crushed-ice programme, with which you can macerate ice cubes or frozen fruits.
• Select the smoothie mode to make fruit smoothies and other drinks.

Proper use of accessories

The 2-in-1 plunger
The plunger has two individual parts. Use parts A and B together to slide larger ingredients through the feed chute. Remove part A to fill-in narrow ingredients. This ensures clean cutting results and the processing of your ingredients improves. Separate the two parts to clean the plunger.

Blade attachment

• Assemble the appliance as shown in the diagram.
• Use the blade insert to cut vegetables, fruit, meat, nuts, herbs, chocolate, ice cubes, dried bread cubes, dried fruit, or ingredients with a similar consistency.
• Do not use meat and hard ingredients larger than 2 x 2 cm.
• Only use the machine for 1 minute at a time. Do not process more than 500 g of contents at the same time.
• Choose a high speed to obtain a fine result. To achieve a coarser consistency,e.g. for crumbles and onions, use the pulse function for greater control.

Dough hook

• Assemble the appliance as shown in the diagram (p. 24).
• Use the dough hook to process dough for cakes, pastries, biscuits, pizza, or bread. Use a maximum of 250 g flour and 150 g water.
• Only use the dough hook for 2 minutes at a time.
• Choose a low speed for heavy doughs.

Grating, cutting, and shredding attach-ments for strips of vegetables and chips

• Assemble the appliance as shown in the diagram.
• Only use these attachments for max. 1 minute at a time, and don’t use them for more than 5 times in a row before allowing Kaia to cool down completely. Do not use more than 500 g of ingredients at the same time.
• Choose a low speed for better results.
• Discs 1 and 2 have an A and B side for slices and grating, respectively.
• Make sure that the processed food does not exceed the filling level of the mix container and empty the container in a timely manner.
• Try to fill ingredients into the feed chute as evenly as possible, to ensurethat they rest upright on the cutting disc. With smaller ingredients such as baby carrots, you can remove the inner plunger to make the feed chute narrower.

Blender jug

• Do not use the blender jug for more than 2 minutes at a time. Allow the motor to cool for at least 30 minutes before the next use.
• Never open the lid during operation.
• Make sure that the ingredients cover the blades to a depth of at least 5 cm and there is enough liquid to ensure good processing.
• For better results, cut solid ingredients into smaller pieces.
• Large quantities should be processed in smaller portions.
• In order to avoid spills and splashes, do not fill more than 1 litre when using hot or foaming liquids.

Mini mercator

• Assemble the appliance as shown in the diagram.
• Use the mini macerator for herbs, onions, garlic, chocolate, nuts, coffee beans, or spices.
• Do not use the mini macerator for longer than 30 seconds at a time and allow the motor to cool for at least 30 minutes. Do not use more than 50 g of ingredients at the same time.
• We recommend using the pulse mode to get the best results. This is the best way to keep things under control.

Emulsifying disc

• Assemble the appliance as shown in the diagram.
• Use this attachment to whip cream, mix dressings, or make creams and dips.
• Make sure that at least some liquid covers the emulsifying disc.
• Choose a lower or medium speed to ensure an optimal increase in volume and particularly fluffy texture. Use a higher speed for quick results and mayonnaise.
• Only use the emulsifying disc for max. 4 minutes at a time.
• Beaten egg whites are best processed at room temperature.

Safety function

Kaia has a safety function to protect you. The appliance can only start after properly inserting and locking-in the container and lid. If the lid is opened during operation, the motor stops. Do not use this function to stop the machine or fill more ingre-dients to prevent damages to the motor.

Overheat protection

The built-in overheat protection checks the motor temperature and reports improper operation. If necessary, the overheat protection switches-off the motor. Set the speed control to the
“OFF” position. The appliance can be used again after the motor has cooled down. If multiple temperature errors are given during use, this might be due to the consistency or ingredient filling level. Try to lower the filling level or dilute the contents by adding liquids.

Cleaning and care

The appliance should be cleaned and dried after each use as follows. Lack of or improper care of the appliance can impair the functionality of the appliance.

• Never clean the appliance using running water or another liquid and refrain from using scratching or abrasive cleaning agents.
• Clean all plastic parts on the top shelf of a dishwasher and use a programme with at most 60 °C to keep them from losing their shape. Make sure that the plastic part is not jammed.
• In many cases, we recommend filling the container with some water and a few drops of a gentle cleaning agent directly after use and shortly run the appliance at a low or medium speed. This makes cleaning the appliance later on easier.
• The motor block and glass blender jug are not suitable for cleaning in the dishwasher. Wipe off the motor block with a damp cloth and wash the glass blender jug by hand.
•  All removable parts can be cleaned in the dishwasher. Disassemble the 2-in-1 plunger to clean it. The gentlest way of cleaning the knives and blades is by carefully washing them by hand.
• Carefully dry off all parts before assembling your appliance and stowing it away.

Troubleshooting

If the appliance is not working properly, please follow these steps:

1. Check that you have followed the operating instructions precisely and correctly.
2.  Check whether the table below offers a feasible solution.
3.  Check that all fuses are intact.

The appliance does not start.

| The food processor has two safety mechanisms.

Make sure that all parts have been inserted correctly.

Check that the power cord and plug are in good working

order.

The appliance stops after longer mixing.| The overload protection prevents the motor from damaging. Allow the appliance to cool for at least

30 minutes and dilute the ingredients if necessary.

The motor slows down

during operation.

| Reduce the quantity of ingredients to be processed and

work with smaller portions.

The appliance moves or wobbles during operation.

| Make sure that the appliance is placed on a level surface

and that the feet are clean.

Check whether the maximum filling level is exceeded.
Remove residues from the disc attachments.

The mixing result is not fine enough.

| The mixer might overload when processing too many or oversized ingredients. Try again with a smaller quantity

and mix smaller portions if necessary.

Ingredients should be cut up into pieces not larger

than 2 cm.

Ingredients stick to the container or do not reach the cutting blade.| The ingredients might be too large, which results in them sticking together. Ingredients should be cut up

into pieces not larger than 2 cm.

The mixture might be too dry. Add more liquids.

The mixing result is too fine or too runny.

| Make sure that you’ve correctly followed all specifica-

tions and that there are no mistakes in the recipe.

---|---
Try to mix the food for a shorter period of time or use the “pulse function” to better control the mixing process.
Ice is not crushed

sufficiently.

| Use smaller chunks of ice (not larger than 2 cm).
Use the “crushed-ice function” for easier operation.
