Unplug it from the outlet when not in use, before installing / removing any parts and before cleaning it. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table / counter or touch any hot surfaces. Do not immerse the motor unit of the blender in water, as this would give rise to electric shocks. Avoid contacting moving parts. Keep your hands and utensils out of the container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. A scraper may be used when the food processor is not running. To avoid blunting the blade, do not use on dry or hard substances Make sure the lids are securely locked in place before operating the appliance. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries or damage. Do not operate the appliance for anything other than its intended use. Never insert food by hand. Always use the food pusher. Before disassembling the appliance, switch off the unit and wait until the blades have come to a complete stop. Always remove the blade assembly before

pouring any contents from the bowl. Be sure to switch off the appliance after each use of your food processor. Make sure the motor stops completely before disassembling. Do not put your fingers or other objects into the unit opening while it is in operation. If any food gets stuck in the opening, use the food pusher or another piece of fruit / vegetable to push it down. When this method is not possible, turn the motor off and disassemble the unit to remove the remaining food. Do not attempt to tamper with the lid interlock mechanism. Do not use outdoors.

Carefully wipe the outside of the appliance to remove any dust that may have accumulated. Dust with a dry cloth. Do not immerse the supply cord in water or other liquids. Blades and discs are very sharp: handle with care. The speed-adjusting dial is not suitable for the TURBO button. Max operation at high speed each time shall not last longer than 30 seconds. Instead of the beaker, you can use any kitchen container with a suitable shape. The mixture amount should not exceed the max capacity of the bowl. Never remove the lid until the blade has come to a complete stop. USING YOUR BLENDER (A) The blender attachment is suitable for blending juices and vegetables.

To assemble the blender attachment to the motor unit, turn the stem clockwise until tightened. Peel or core the fruits and then cut them into small pieces. Then put the fruit pieces or vegetables into the beaker. Usually a certain amount of water has to be added to facilitate smooth running, the proportion of food and water being 2:3. The mixture amount should not

exceed the max capacity of the cup. Plug the appliance into the power outlet. Lower the hand blender into the food and rotate the speed-adjusting dial to select the desired speed. Pressing and holding the ON/OFF button, the blender starts blending immediately. For maximum-speed blending use the TURBO button for a short time. USE THE WHISK ATTACHMENT (only on some models) (B)

Use the shredding side for carrots, potatoes and foods of a similar texture. Use the slicing side for food items such as carrots, potatoes, cabbages, cucumbers, courgettes and onions. Use fresh ingredients. Do not cut food too small. Fill the feed tube uniformly. This prevents the food from pouring out during processing. STORAGE SYSTEM (F) When not in use, the detachable stem, whisk and motor unit can be stored on the bowl lid. When placing the discs inside the bowl for storage, make sure the cutting edges do not scratch the bowl walls.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

To prevent any damage to the appliance do not use harsh solvents or abrasive cleansers when cleaning. Unplug the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.

Wash the blender attachments and lids under running water without any abrasive cleaners or detergents. After cleaning, place them upright so that any water that may have got in can drain out. Do not immerse the blender and lids in water, as the lubrication on the bearings may be washed away over time.

Wash the containers and whisk in warm soapy water. All removable parts can be washed in warm soapy water and then carefully rinsed and dried. If necessary, use a nylon-bristle brush to complete the cup cleaning operation. Wipe the motor unit with a damp cloth. Never immerse it in water for cleaning purposes, as electric shocks may occur. The non-slip base on the bottom of the bowl can be removed and cleaned. Make sure it is replaced correctly before using it again. Dry all detachable parts thoroughly. TIP For quick cleaning between processing tasks, fill the cup or bowl with water halfway, assemble the hand-held blender according to the description in the operation section and start the blending / chopping function for a few seconds.
