Unpacking

Remove all packaging materials or protective ﬁlms from the appliance. Retain the packaging, so that you can store the appliance safely or send it by post,
e. g. if it needs to be repaired.
Before using the appliance, check that it is free of damage; check also that the power cable and plug as well as all accessories and appliance parts are undamaged.
Clean all components carefully before using the appliance for the ﬁrst time (see “Cleaning”).

Setting up

Once all components have been cleaned as described in the section “Cleaning”:

Position the appliance so that, …
- that the mains cable passes through the recess at the rear of the appliance,
- the power plug is immediately accessible, so that it can be quickly withdrawn in the event of danger,
- that it is stable and not liable to slip, and so that the sucker feet can attach ﬁrmly and the appliance cannot tip over due to vibration,
- that the mains cable is not in the working area and thus does not present a risk of being inadvertently snagged and tipping the appliance over.

Operation

WARNING!

The motor switches oﬀ automatically as soon as the blender 3 is removed from the motor block 6 or the lid 2 is opened. In such cases it may be easy to forget that the machine is still switched on. The motor will then start unexpectedly as soon as the blender attachment 3 is ﬁtted or the lid 2 is closed again:
Therefore:
- Do not insert the power plug into the wall socket until the blender 3 is ﬁlled and mounted with its lid ﬁtted and closed.
- Before ﬁtting the blender, always check to see that the appliance is switched oﬀ or that the power plug has been removed.
- Switch the appliance oﬀ ﬁrst, pull the plug out and wait until the motor has come to a standstill before removing the blender 3 or opening the lid 2.

Fitting and ﬁlling the blender

Rotate the blender 3 anticlockwise until the arrow under the blender 3 handle is located above the position. Remove the blender 3 from the motor block 6 in a vertical, upward motion.
Remove the lid 2 by rotating it anticlockwise towards position until you can pull it upwards.
Fill the blender 3 to at least to the lowest line of the scale 8 and at most to the MAX mark. For optimum results, we recommend the following maximum ﬁlling quantities:
Press the lid 2 ﬁrmly down onto the blender 3. Close the lid 2 by turning it clockwise to position until it audibly engages (see Fig. 2). Ensure that the pouring spout on the blender 3 is closed. The motor cannot start until the lid 2 is ﬁtted ﬂush.
Press the measuring cap 1 into the lid as far as the stop.
Place the ﬁlled and closed blender 3 on the motor block 6. To do this, use the recesses on the motor block 6 and ensure that the arrow on the blender is pointing to the symbol while doing so. Turn the blender 3 clockwise to position until it audibly engages. The motor cannot start until the blender 3 is ﬁtted ﬂush.

Selecting the speed setting

Once the blender 3 is ﬁlled and sitting completely closed on the motor block 6, you can switch on the appliance. Set the switch 5 to …

Level 1 – 3
for liquids or soft foodstuﬀs, for mixing, blending and stirring
Level 3 – 5
for more solid foods or for chopping
Level P (pulse function)
for short, powerful impulse operation, e.g. for crushing ice cubes or when cleaning. To prevent overloading the motor, the switch 5 does not lock in this position. Therefore, hold the switch 5 in this position for short periods only.

Filling while in use

To add more food while the appliance is in use, …

Remove the measuring cap 1 from the lid 2.
Add the ingredients.
Press the measuring cap 1 back into the lid.

Removing the blender

Once you have ﬁnished processing the food in the attachment:

Always start by setting switch 5 to the oﬀ position (“0”) and pulling out the mains plug.
Wait until the motor has come to a complete standstill before lifting the blender 3 oﬀ the motor block 6. Rotate the blender 3 anticlockwise until the arrow under the blender 3 handle is located above the position. Remove the blender 3 from the motor block 6 in a vertical, upward motion.

Useful tips

To achieve the best results when puréeing ﬁrm ingredients, add small amounts one after the other into the blender 3 rather than a single large portion.
When processing ﬁrm ingredients, cut them into small pieces (2 – 3 cm).
Add at least 50 ml of liquid when pureeing fruit or vegetables.
Add thicker ingredients (such as yoghurt) into the blender 3 ﬁrst. If any of ingredients are not picked up during mixing, remove the blender 3 from the motor block 6, remove the lid 2 and stir the ingredients with a suitable implement, such as a spoon. Replace the blender 3 back on the motor block 6 with the lid 2 closed and continue mixing.
When mixing liquid ingredients, start oﬀ with a small amount of liquid. Gradually add more liquids to the mixture through the measuring cap.
The appliance can be stabilised by placing your hand on top of the closed blender during operation.
For stirring solid or very thick liquid foods, it can be useful to use level P
to prevent the cutting blades 4 from blocking.

Cleaning

DANGER! ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Before starting to clean the blender and its components:

Ensure that the motor is switched oﬀ and the power plug removed from the socket.
Do not immerse the motor block 6 in water or other liquids. This could result in you receiving a fatal electric shock and cause damage to the appliance.
Never open the housing of the appliance. Otherwise, there is a risk of a fatal electric shock.
Never insert your hand or ﬁngers into the blender 3, especially while it is in use. The cutting blades 4 are extremely sharp!

Cleaning the blender

To prevent injuring yourself on the cutting blades 4, clean the blender 3 only with a long-handled washing-up brush.
Clean the measuring cap 1 and the lid 2 in mild soap solution. Ensure that the rubber seal 9 is correctly ﬁtted before using the lid 2 again.
If you clean the appliance directly after use, you can usually achieve suﬃciently hygienic cleaning results by using the following alternatives:
Fill the blender 3 with 750 ml of water and add a couple of drops of mild washing up liquid. Close the lid 2 and ﬁt the blender 3 onto the motor block

Insert the mains plug into the socket and activate the pulse function a few times so that the cutting blades 4 plough through the water at maximum speed. Afterwards, rinse the blender 3 with plenty of clean water to remove any washing up liquid residues.

To remove stubborn dirt, you can remove the attachment A with the cutting blades 4 from the jug B of the blender 3:

Remove the blender 3 from the motor block 6. For better stability, remove the lid 2 (see ﬁg. 1).
Turn the appliance upside down and turn the attachment A anticlockwise so that it can be detached from the jug B (see ﬁg. 3).
Clean the attachment A and the jug B thoroughly in a mild soap solution or in the dishwasher.
Dry all parts thoroughly before reassembling them.
Replace the attachment A with the cutting blades 4 onto the jug B of the blender 3 and turn it clockwise.

Cleaning the motor block

Clean the surfaces with a damp cloth. If necessary, apply a mild washing-up liquid to the cloth. Afterwards, wipe oﬀ with a cloth moistened only with water to ensure that no detergent remains on the appliance. Then dry the surfaces thoroughly.
When cleaning, always check that the contact switch in the ﬁtting for the blender 3 is not blocked by soiling residues. If you cannot dislodge any blockages with the corner of a piece of paper, make contact with Customer Services. Do not use any hard objects, these could damage the contact switch.
Remove any possible residues on the underside of the motor block 6 with a dry cloth or a stiﬀ-bristled brush only. Ensure that nothing can get in through the ventilation openings of the appliance.

After cleaning

Allow all parts to dry well before reassembling and reusing the liquidiser.

Storage

If you do not intend to use the blender for an extended period, clean it thoroughly (see chapter “Cleaning”).
Wrap the main cable around the cable retainer 7 on the base of the motor block 6 in the direction of the arrow.
