• Pour in the desired amount of cream (maximum 400 ml).

• : With mounted whisk attachment (13)
  – To whip cream optimally, it should be sufficiently cooled (fridge temperature).
  – If you are whipping a large amount of cream, adjust the whipping time accordingly. The times may vary greatly however depending on the temperature of the cream, the outdoor temperature or the fat content of the cream. Keep an eye on the cream whilst whipping it and adjust the processing time to the conditions and your requirements.

• Place the cover (6) on the bowl (10) so that the blade insert (8) protrudes through the hole in the centre of the cover (6). Make sure that one of the two guide lugs (5) on the cover (6) is pointing forward (in your direction).

• Position the motor block (3) on the cover (6) centred from above so the speed button (2) faces toward you. The two guide lugs (5) on the cover (6) must engage in 2 of the recesses (14) provided for this purpose on the motor block (3). If necessary, move the motor block (3) slightly back and forth when positioning the cover.

• Insert the plug into the power socket.

• During operation, hold the bowl (10) with one hand and the motor block (3) with the other.

Cleaning

Risk of electric shock! Always remove the plug from the power socket before cleaning commences. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock. Under no circumstances may the motor block (3) be cleaned in the dishwasher, immersed in water or held under running water.
Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock and a fire hazard due to short circuits.
Risk of injury! Take care when cleaning the blade (9). It is extremely sharp!
Warning of damage to property! Do not use any scratching or abrasive cleaning agents or abrasive objects (such as a metal scourer) for cleaning purposes. Otherwise the mini chopper may be damaged.

• Remove the plug from the socket.
• Take the mini chopper apart to clean it. Pull the cover seal (7) off the cover (6) and remove the rubber disc located at the upper end of the blade insert (8).
• Clean the motor block (3) with a damp cloth or a well squeezed out sponge. Use some washing up- liquid, if necessary. Then dry the motor block (3) well.
• The remaining parts can be cleaned in a rinsing bath. After cleaning, rinse all the parts with plenty of clean water to remove any detergent residue. Dry all the parts well.

Alternatively, the following parts can also be cleaned in the dishwasher:

• Bowl (10)
• Blade insert (8) with blade (9)
• Whisk attachment (13)
• Cover (6) with cover seal (7)
• Anti-slip ring (12)
