MAKING YOUR APPLIANCE SECURE INSTRUCTIONS

‘MAKING YOUR APPLIANCE SECURE’ INSTRUCTIONS ( ‘SECU’ )
Your appliance is equipped, as standard, with electronic motor protection to guarantee its longevity. This electronic security safeguards against incorrect use; in this way, the motor is properly protected. In cases of extreme use that disregard the recommendations in the instructions (see paragraph ‘FIRST USE’: potentially excessively large quantities and/or abnormally long use and/or preparing different recipes at short intervals), the electronic protection will be triggered to preserve the motor; in this case, the appliance will stop functioning and the message ‘SECU’ will be displayed on the LCD screen of the control panel to indicate that the appliance is temporarily out of service.

If ‘SECU’ is displayed on the control panel and your appliance stops working, proceed accordingly:

  • Leave your appliance plugged in, do not press the ‘0/1’ switch.
  • Please refer to the recommendations in the instructions and readapt your use of the application (see table page 6: amount of ingredients/recipe preparation time/temperature/type of accessories).
  • Allow the motor to cool down for half an hour.
  • Restart the appliance by pressing on the ‘Start /Stop/Reset’ button (B7) for two seconds.
  • Your appliance is now ready to be used again. For further information, please contact customer services (see details in the guarantee booklet).

CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

  • The appliance should not be immersed. Never put the motor unit (A) under running water.
  • Once you have finished using it, disconnect the appliance.
  • Clean the bowl immediately after use to avoid staining.
  • Press the locks (D2) then lift the bowl assembly (D).
  • Place the bowl on a flat surface.
  • Unlock the lid by rotating one-quarter of a turn clockwise. Carefully remove the lid.
  • The parts of the lid (seal, seal holder, and lid) are removable. When the parts have cooled down, unclip the seal holder from the lid (See Fig. 15).
  • Take care with the knives of the ultra blade (F1) and the kneading/grinding knife (F4) when you are cleaning them and when you empty the bowl, they are extremely sharp.
  • When the parts have cooled down:
    • Dismantle the spindle (D3), the seal (D4), and the locking ring (D5) (See Fig. 13).
    • Clean the bowl (D), the spindle (D3), the seal (D4), the locking ring (D5), the accessories (F1),(F2), (F3), (F4), (F5), the steam regulator cap (E1), the lid (E2), the seal holder (E3) and the seal (E4) using a sponge and some soapy water.
  • Rinse these different parts under running water.
  • If there is a build-up of limescale in the bowl, use a damp sponge and, if necessary, white vinegar or cleaning products suitable for stainless steel.
  • For food stuck in the bowl, leave the bowl to soak for several hours in water with a little washing-up liquid and dishwashing detergent and scrape, if necessary, with a spatula (G) or with the abrasive side of a sponge.
  • Do not use surgical spirit to clean the control panel (B).
  • To ensure that the control panel (B) has a long life, clean it with the soft side of a slightly damp sponge to avoid scratching it.
  • To clean the motor unit (A), use a damp cloth. Dry carefully.
  • To ensure that the control panel (B) has a long life, clean it with the soft side of a slightly damp sponge to avoid scratching it.
  • To help you with cleaning, the bowl, lid assembly, and accessories are dishwasher safe, except the spindle (D3 and D4) and the locking ring (D5) (See Fig. 14).
  • The accessories, the detachable spindle (D3), and the parts of the lid may become slightly discolored with certain ingredients such as curry, carrot juice, etc; this does not represent any danger to your health or the operation of your appliance. To avoid this, clean these parts immediately after use.
  • Before using the bowl (D), make sure that the electrical contacts under the bowl are clean and dry.
  • To avoid altering the detachable spindle (D3), do not let it soak in the water for too long.
  • To avoid altering the materials of the bowl (D), ensure that you respect the instructions for the e of your dishwasher, do not increase the dose of dishwasher salt or dishwashing products.

How do I clean the bowl and accessories?

For easier cleaning:

  • Empty the bowl then fit the beater attachment. Pour in 0.7 l of water and add a few drops of washing-up liquid.
  • Close the lid with the stopper fitted.
  • Set your appliance to speed 8 at 80°C for 5 minutes, then press “Start”.
  • When the appliance goes into “keep warm” mode (a beep will sound), stop the appliance and finish cleaning the attachment under the tap.
  • (This applies to all four attachments).

How do I clean food stuck to the bottom of the bowl?

  1. Let it soak for one hour (water + washing-up liquid)
  2. Scrape away the food with a spatula or wooden spoon
  3. After emptying the bowl, scrub the bottom of the bowl with the green side of the sponge
  4. If any marks remain, use a steel wool pad. You can replace the washing-up liquid with lemon juice, white vinegar, or a dishwasher tablet dissolved in water (leave for as long as necessary).

How do I clean the bottom of my bowl?
To remove white marks or rainbow stains from the bottom of the bowl, follow these three steps:

  1. Pour 100 ml of white vinegar into the appliance bowl fitted with the default driver and leave for one hour.
  2. Empty the bowl and wipe the inside with a sponge.
  3. Rinse the bowl several times with clean water.

CLEANING OF THE BOWL

CLEANING OF THE SCREEN

To preserve the appearance and longevity of the dashboard, do not use household alcohol, clean it with a slightly damp sponge without using the abrasive side to avoid scratching.

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR APPLIANCE DOES NOT WORK

PROBLEMS

| CAUSES|

SOLUTIONS

---|---|---
Problems when steam cooking.| Insufficient cooking time.| Cooking times are only a guide and approximate. However, certain conditions may affect the cooking time:

– size of the vegetables (cut or uncut)

– quantity of ingredients in the basket

– type of vegetables, their ripeness

– quantity of water in the bowl, which corresponds to the measurement (0.7l).

If the food is not properly cooked, you can set an additional cooking time.

You can also use the manual mode by selecting a temperature of 130°C and the cooking time according to the quantity and type of ingredients.

The steam regulator cap is not properly positioned or is missing.| Set the steam regulator cap to ‘maxi steam’ (turn towards you); this setting allows a maximum amount of steam to build up in the bowl for all types of steam cooking (soups, etc.), so there will be more steam in the bowl and the cooking process will be more efficient. This position also helps to avoid splashing during cooking. The ‘mini steam’ position allows a maximum amount of condensation to escape and is recommended when making sauces and dishes such as risotto, egg custard desserts, etc.

The “zero” position enables the steam regulator valve on the lid to be secured and removed.

Poor cooking results in Manual mode| Unsuitable recipes| Your recipes, either personal or taken from the Internet may not be suited to your appliance and its accessories (quantities, cooking time, duration, inadequate accessories). Before starting your recipe, make sure you follow the instructions of use provided in this manual.

It will fade or disappear after a few uses and cleaning operations of the removable spindle (refer to the paragraph “Cleaning the appliance”).
Excessive noise during operation| The use of the wrong accessory| Please use an adequate accessory (e.g.: do not use the beater F3 for kneading or mixing the dough, use the knife F4).
