Safety Notices

⚠️ To avoid the risk of a potentially fatal electric shock:

• Ensure that the motor block, the power cable and the power plug are never submersed in water or other fluids.
• Only use the appliance in dry rooms, never use it outdoors or in moist environments.
• Make sure that the power cable never becomes wet or damp during operation. Lay the cable such that it does not get clamped or otherwise damaged.
• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be replaced at once by qualified technicians or our Customer Service Department.
• Always remove the plug from the power socket after use. Switching off the appliance is not sufficient because the appliance receives power as long as the power plug is connected to the socket.
• Check to ensure that the appliance is in a serviceable condition before taking it into use. The appliance may not be used if there is recognisable damage on it, especially to the motor block and the glass mixing jug.
• Immediately remove the plug from the socket should you hear or smell anything unexpected from the appliance when it is in use or there is an evident malfunction.

⚠️ To avoid overheating and the risk of fire:

• Do not use the appliance in locations with direct sunlight or in the vicinity of heat generating appliances.

4 Cutter
5 Switch
6 Power cable
⑦ Motor block
⑧ Cable storage
9 Scale

Preparing for use

When all components have been cleaned as described under "Cleaning":

→ Position the appliance such that, ...

• that the power cable ⑥ 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• the power plug is immediately accessible, so that it can be quickly withdrawn in the event of danger.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 such that the suction cups find a firm hold so that the appliance cannot tip over due to vibration.
• that the power cable ⑥ is not in the working area and thus not presenting a risk of being inadvertently snagged and tipping the appliance over.

⚠ Warning!

The motor switches itself off as soon as the mixing jug ③ is removed from the motor block ⑦. It could then be overlooked that the appliance is still switched on. The motor will thus start of its own accord as soon as the mixing jug ③ is replaced on it:

Therefore:

• First insert the power plug into the wall socket when the mixer jug 3 is filled and mounted with its lid fitted and closed.
• Before mounting the mixing jug always check to see that the appliance is switched off or that the power plug has been removed.
• Before removing the mixer jug ③, switch the appliance off, remove the power plug and wait for the motor to stop revolving.

Filling and mounting the mixer jug

Take the mixer attachment ③ from the motor unit ⑦ and remove the lid ②.
→ Fill the mixer attachment ③ and then press the lid ② firmly back onto the mixer attachment ③. Ensure that the pourer nose on the mixer attachment ③ is also closed.
Insert the filling cap ① into the lid opening and secure it by turning it clockwise.
Place the ready filled and sealed mixer jug ③ onto the motor block ⑦. Lightly turn the mixer jug ③ until you can press it down. The motor can start only when the mixer jug ③ is securely positioned.

Selecting operating speeds

When the mixer jug ③ is filled, completely sealed and securely fitted to the motor block ⑦, you can then switch the appliance on.

Place the switch 5 on ...

- Level 1-3

for fluid or soft foodstuffs, for mixing, blending and stirring

- Level 3-5

for firmer foodstuffs or for hacking

- Level Ice Crush/Clean

for short, powerful impulse operation, e.g. for crushing icecubes or when cleaning. So as not to overburden the motor, the switch ⑤ does not engage in this position. Hence, hold the switch ⑤ in this position for short periods only.

① Notice

Fill the mixer attachment ③ with a maximum of 180 g of ice cubes. If filled with more than this, the appliance cannot optimally crush them.

Filling when in use

⚠ Warning!

Should you wish to insert further foodstuffs during operation, you may ONLY open the filling cap ① provided for this purpose.

• Under no circumstance should you open the lid ②. Pieces of the foodstuff could be thrown out at high speeds!
• Do not insert cutlery items or mixing tools into the mixing jug ③ when the appliance is in use. There is a considerable risk of injury should these make contact with the swiftly rotating cutters ④!
  To insert something when the appliance is in operation, ...
  → turn the filling cap ① anti-clockwise and remove it.
  → Fill in the ingredients.
  → Afterwards, replace the filling cap ① into the lid and secure it by turning it clockwise.

Removing the mixer

When the processing of the foodstuffs is complete:

Always first place the switch ⑤ into the OFF position ("0") and remove the power plug.
→ Wait until the motor has come to a complete standstill before lifting the mixer jug ③ straight up. It does not need to be turned.

Useful tips

• The best results when blending firm ingredients are achieved by placing small portions one after the other into the mixer jug ③ instead of inserting a single large portion.
• When processing firm ingredients, cut them into small pieces (2-3 cm).
• When mixing liquid ingredients begin first of all with a small measure of fluids. Gradually add more fluids to the mixture through the filling cap.
• The appliance can be stabilised by placing your hand on top of the closed liquidiser during operation.
• For the stirring of firm or very viscous foodstuffs it can be beneficial to use the impulse-operation, which helps avoid a blocking of the cutters ④.

① Notice

Do not use the appliance to crush grains of cooking salt, refined sugar or white sugar. For example, to make powdered sugar.

Cleaning

Caution!

Before starting to clean the liquidiser and its components:

- Ensure that the motor is switched off and the power plug removed from the socket.

Under no circumstance may the motor block ⑦ be submersed in water or other fluids. This could result in you receiving a fatal electric shock and the appliance could be damaged.

- Never open the housing of the appliance. This brings with it the risk of receiving a fatal electric shock.

- Never disassemble the cutters ④ and never reach into the mixer jug ③. The cutters ④ are extremely sharp!

- Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners on the plastic surfaces, they could be damaged by them.

Cleaning the mixer

So that you do not injure yourself on the cutters ④, clean the mixer jug ③ only with a long handled dishwasher brush.

In a case of stubborn soiling, the mixer jug ③ can also be cleaned in a dishwasher. For this, always take the mixing jug ③ apart, as described later.

→ Clean the lid ② and the filling cap ① in a dishwasher or with the normal washing up.

If you clean the liquidiser directly after use, you can often achieve a satisfactory and hygienic level of cleaning with the following alternative:

→ Fill the mixer jug ③ with water, close the lid ② and place the mixer jug ③ on the motor block ⑦.

Insert the power plug into the wall socket and activate the Ice Crush/Clean switch, causing the cutters ④ to rotate in the water with maximum revolutions.

Should this not dislodge the soiling, you can separate the lower plastic part of the mixer jug ③ (with the cutters ④) from the the glass part:

A B C D

Remove the mixer jug ③ from the motor block ⑦.

Turn the plastic element D of the mixer attachment 3 anti-clockwise, such that it allows itself to be released from the glass element A.

⚠ Attention!

Take care with the cutters C. They are very sharp. Risk of injury!

→ Clean both parts thoroughly in a mild soapy solution or in a dishwasher.
Replace the plastic part D of the mixer jug 3 back onto the glass part A. Ensure that the sealing ring B is correctly fitted.

Cleaning the motor block

→ Use a dry cloth or, at the most, a lightly moistened one for cleaning the plastic surfaces.
→ At every cleaning check that the contact switch in the receptor for the mixer jug ③ is not bloked by soiling residues. If you cannot dislodge any blockages with the corner of a piece of paper, make contact with Customer Services. Under no circumstances should you use a hard object, this could damage the contact switch.
→ Remove any possible residues on the underside of the motor block ⑦ only with a dry cloth or a stiff bristled brush. Ensure that nothing can enter through the ventilation opening of the appliance.

After cleaning

Allow all parts to dry well before re-assembling and re-using the liquidiser.

Storage

If you do not intend to use the liquidiser for an extended period, clean it thoroughly (see chapter "Cleaning").
→ Wrap the power cable ⑥ around the cable storage ⑧ on the base of the motor block ⑦.
Store the liquidiser at a cool and dry location.
