What is a smoothie?

•  Remove the plug from the mains power socket when the appliance is being cleaned or in the event of a fault. Just switching off the ap-pliance is not sufficient, as the appliance is subject to mains voltage for as long as the plug is connected to the mains power socket.
•  To avoid potential risks, if the appliance power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its customer service or by a qualified technician.
•  The appliance and its connecting cable must be kept away from children.

•  The appliance should always be disconnected from the mains when unattended and before assembly, disassembly or cleaning.

•  This appliance should not be used by children.

•  Use only the original accessory parts for this appliance. Accessory parts from other manufacturers may not be suitable, and this may lead to risks!

Before first use

1. Remove all of the parts from the box and remove the packaging material and any protective film.
2. Clean all components as described in the section “Cleaning and Care”. Ensure that all parts are completely dry.

Preparing ingredients

• Remove all peel, such as orange peel or kiwi skin, from the fruit.

•  Cut the fruit into small pieces (approx. 1 – 2 cm).
•  Chop herbs or salads into small pieces.

NOTE

• Large blender jug 1: max. 80 g/approx. 5 – 7 ice cubes, press the pulse button approx. 20 times.
• Small blender jug 9: max. 50 g/approx. 3 – 5 ice cubes, press the pulse button approx. 10 times.

  Appliance is switched off.

• „I“
  For chopping and blending soft and liquid ingredi-ents such as strawberries or yoghurt.

• • „II“
    For chopping and blending harder and liquid ingredients such as beetroot or pumpkin.

Operating the appliance

1.  Place the base 5 on a clean and level surface.

2. Select the appropriate blender jug 1/9 for your smoothie: – large blender jug 1, for a roughly 600 ml smoothie, – small blender jug 9, for a roughly 300 ml smoothie.

3.  Add the prepared ingredients to the blender jug 1/9. Always add liquid ingredients first and then the more solid ingredients such as the fruit and/or crushed ice.
   CAUTION! MATERIAL DAMAGE!
   Never fill the blender jug 1/9 with ingre-dients past the MAX marking! The appliance will not be able to process the ingredients!
   Always add at least 100 ml of liquid into the blender jug 1/9 when making a smoothie.
   

4.  Check whether the sealing ring is correctly seated in the blade holder 4. Place the blade holder 4 on the blender jug 1/9 so that the blade 3 extends into the blender jug 1/9, and screw the blade holder 4 firmly in place.

5. Now place the blade holder 4 and the attached blender jug 1/9 onto the base 5 so that the arrow on the blade holder 4 is pointing to the symbol on the base 5.
   CAUTION! MATERIAL DAMAGE!
   To turn the blade holder 4, always hold only the blade holder 4 and never try to turn the blender jug 1/9! Otherwise, the blender jug 1/9 will detach and the ingredients will spill out!

6.  Then turn the blade holder 4 so that the arrow on the blade holder 4 points to the symbol on the base 5. The blade holder 4 must audibly click into place so that it sits firmly on the base 5.
   NOTE
   The appliance will only start if the blade holder 4, the blender jug 1/9 and the base 5 are assembled correctly.

7.  Insert the plug into a mains power socket.

8.  Set the speed switch 6 to the required speed and wait until the smoothie has reached the desired consistency.

9.  Set the speed switch 6 to “0“.
   NOTE
   If the ingredients do not mix properly, it may be necessary to lift up the appliance and shake it a little. When doing so, take hold of the blade holder 4 together with the blender jug 1/9 and the base 5 so that they do not come apart.
   CAUTION! MATERIAL DAMAGE!
   Do not operate the appliance for longer than 1 minute in one session. The appliance will overheat! After using for 1 minute, allow the appliance to cool down completely.
   CAUTION! MATERIAL DAMAGE!
   To turn the blade holder 4, always hold only the blade holder 4 and never try to turn the blender jug 1/9! Otherwise, the blender jug 1/9 will detach and the ingredients will spill out!

10.  When the smoothie is ready, turn the blade holder 4 until the arrow on the blade holder 4 points to the symbol on the base 5 and remove the blade holder 4 with the attached blender jug 1/9.

11. Turn the blender jug 1/9 over and unscrew the blade holder 4.

12. Screw the lid 2/8 onto the blender jug 1/9. You can drink the smoothie through the drinking opening on the lid 2/8.

Cleaning and care

DANGER!
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!

•  Before cleaning the appliance, disconnect the power plug from the mains power socket!
  There is a risk of electric shock!
  NEVER immerse the base 5 in water or other fluids!

•  It is best to clean the appliance directly after use. This makes food residues easier to remove.
  CAUTION! MATERIAL DAMAGE!

•  Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning materials. These can damage the surface of the appliance!

•  Wipe the base 5 with a damp cloth. For stubborn soiling use a mild detergent on the cloth. Wipe off any detergent residue using a cloth moistened with clean water.

•  Pull the sealing ring out of the blade holder 4. If necessary, use a narrow, blunt object to help you. Clean the lids 2/8, the blender jugs 1/9, the blade holder 4 with blade 3 and the
  sealing ring in warm water with a mild detergent. Afterwards, rinse all parts with fresh water to remove all traces of detergent.

NOTE
You can also clean the lids 2/8, the blender jugs 1/9, the blade holder 4 with blade 3 and the sealing ring in your dishwasher. If possible, place the parts in the upper basket and ensure that none of the parts can get stuck. Otherwise they might deform.

NOTE
If you clean the appliance directly after use, you can usually achieve sufficiently hygienic cleaning results for the blender jug 1/9 and the blade holder 4 by using the following alternatives:

•  Large blender jug 1: Fill the large blender jug 1 with about 500 ml of water and add a few drops of mild detergent.
  Small blender jug 9: Fill the small blender jug 9 with about 200 ml of water and add a few drops of mild detergent.

•  Attach the blade holder 4 and screw both onto the base 5.

•  Activate the “Pulse” function a few times so that the blade 3 churns through the water.

•  Afterwards, rinse the blender jug 1/9 and the blade holder 4 with plenty of clear water to remove all detergent residues.

•  After cleaning, dry all parts thoroughly.
  Storage

•  Store the cleaned appliance in a clean, dust-free and dry place.

•  You can coil up the cable and fasten it using the supplied cable clip 7.
