If your appliance suddenly stops running:

1 Pull the mains plug out of the socket. 2 Set the speed control to '0'.

3 Let the appliance cool down for 60 minutes. Then the appliance is ready for use again. 4 Put the mains plug back into the socket. 5 Switch the appliance on again.

Please contact your Philips dealer or an authorised Philips service centre if the automatic thermal cut-out system is activated too often.

Using the appliance

1 Place the tool holder in the bowl.

2 Place the required accessory on the tool holder (beware of the sharp cutting edges!).

3 Close the lid. Turn it in the direction of the arrows until you hear a click.

4 Make sure the motor unit is switched off (speed setting '0'). Press the release buttons and attach the motor unit by first inserting its rear end into the handle of the bowl.

5 Then lower the front part of the motor unit onto the lid, until you hear a click.

6 Place the pusher into the feed tube. To prevent ingredients from escaping through the feed tube, use the pusher to close the feed tube. Use the feed tube to add liquid and solid ingredients. Use the pusher to push ingredients through the feed tube.

Put the plug in the wall socket. The appliance is ready for use.

7 The speed control allows you to choose the right setting to obtain optimal results.

▶ Pulse setting: for pulse operation. If the Pulse button is pressed the appliance runs at maximum speed. The appliance stops running when the button is released. - setting 1: for normal speed. ▶ setting 0: for switching the appliance off.

• When you have finished processing, you can only remove the motor unit (and the lid) after you have switched the appliance off. The release buttons cannot be pressed in when the appliance is switched on. 8 To remove the motor unit, press the release buttons and lift the motor unit from the lid of the bowl.

Blade

- The blade can be used for chopping, mixing, blending, pureeing and preparing cake mixtures.

1 Place the tool holder in the bowl. 2 Remove the protective cover from the blade.

The cutting edges of the blades are very sharp. Avoid touching them!

3 Put the blade onto the tool holder. 4 Put the ingredients into the bowl. Pre-cut large pieces of food into pieces of approx. 3 x 3 cm.

See the table for the recommended settings. Processing takes 10 - 60 seconds.

5 Close the lid and attach the motor unit.

- You can also use the pusher to close the feed tube in order to prevent ingredients from escaping through the feed tube.

Chopping tips

• The appliance chops very quickly. Use the pulse function for short periods at a time to prevent the food from becoming too finely chopped.
• Do not let the appliance run too long when you are chopping (hard) cheese. The cheese will become too hot, will start to melt and will turn lumpy.
• Do not use the blade to chop very hard ingredients like coffee beans, nutmeg and ice cubes, as this may cause the blade to get blunt.

Mixing tips

• Do not mix ingredients that are hotter than 80°C.
• First put the flour in the bowl and then the other ingredients.

Pureeing tips

• Fruits and vegetables can be pureed without adding any liquid. However, you will get a better result if you add a small amount of liquid.
• Always start by pureeing the hard and tough ingredients, then add the soft ones.
• If food sticks to the blade or to the inside of the bowl:

Switch the appliance off.

Remove the motor unit and the lid from the bowl. Remove the ingredients from the blade or from the wall of the bowl with the spatula.

Inserts

The cutting edges of the inserts are very sharp Do not touch them!

Do not process hard ingredients, such as ice cubes, with the inserts.

1 Put the selected insert in the insert holder. 2 Place the insert holder onto the tool holder that stands in the bowl. 3 Close the lid and attach the motor unit. 4 Put the ingredients in the feed tube. Pre-cut large chunks to make them fit into the feed tube. 5 Fill the feed tube evenly for the best results. 6 Switch the appliance on. See the table for the recommended settings. 7 Press the pusher lightly onto the ingredients in the feed tube.

When you have to cut large amounts of food, process only small batches at a time and empty the bowl regularly between the batches.

The processing jobs mentioned in the table will take 10 - 60 seconds.

8 To remove the insert from the insert holder, take the insert holder in your hands with its bottom pointing towards you. Push the edges of the insert with your thumbs to make the insert fall out of the holder.

Shredding tips

• To shred hard cheese, e.g. mature Gouda, Parmesan and Pecorino, the cheese should be at room temperature.
• To shred softer cheese, e.g. young and semi-matured Gouda or Emmentaler, the cheese should be at refrigerator temperature.

Emulsifying disc

You can use the emulsifying disc to prepare mayonnaise, to whip cream and to whisk egg whites.

1 Put the emulsifying disc onto the tool holder that stands in the bowl. 2 Put the ingredients in the bowl and put the lid and motor unit on the bowl.

3 Switch the appliance on. See the table for the recommended settings.

Emulsifying tips

• When you want to whisk egg whites, make sure that the eggs are at room temperature. Take the eggs out of the refrigerator about half an hour before you start preparing them.
• All the ingredients for making mayonnaise must be at room temperature. Oil can be added through the small hole in the bottom of the pusher.
• If you are going to whip cream, the cream must be taken straight from the refrigerator. Please observe the preparation time in the table. Cream must not be whipped too long. Use the pulse button to have more control over the process.

Cleaning

Always unplug the appliance before you start cleaning the motor unit.

1 Clean the motor unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor unit in water and do not rinse it either.

2 Always clean the parts that have come in contact with food in hot water with washing-up liquid immediately after use.

- The bowl, lid of the bowl, the pusher and the accessories can also be washed in the dishwasher.

These parts have been tested for dishwasher resistance according to DIN ENV 12875.

Clean the blade and the inserts very carefully. The cutting edges are very sharp!

Make sure that the cutting edges of the blade and the inserts do not come into contact with hard objects. This could cause them to become blunt.

Certain ingredients may cause discolourations on the surface of the accessories. This does not have a negative effect; the discolourations usually disappear after some time.

Re-attach the protective cover to the blade after cleaning.

Storage

MicroStore

• Put the accessories on the tool holder (always end with the insert holder) and store them in the bowl.
• Place the lid on the bowl.

- Wrap the mains cord around the bowl. Use the suction cap to keep the cord in place.
