DANGER! Risk of injury from cutting

• The device must never be operated without the container.
• Never reach into the rotating blades. Do not touch rotating parts with spoons or similar utensils. Keep long hair or loose clothing away from rotating parts as well.

Single exception: the spatula included in the delivery is designed so that when stirring clockwise it does not come into contact with the blade assembly. The spatula must not be used with the mixer attachment.

- Please note that the blades keep spinning for a short time after switching the device off. This applies in particular at high rotation speeds. Do not reach into the pot until the blades come to a complete standstill.

FIRE HAZARD

Before turning the device on, place it on a level, stable, dry, heat-resistant surface. - It is not necessary to constantly supervise during operation, but just to check regularly. This applies in particular when very long cooking times are set.

DANGER! Risk of injury through burning

The surfaces of the device become very hot during operation. During operation, always use potholders or oven gloves when touching the steamer baskets or the lids for the steamer baskets. - Only transport the device when it has cooled down. - Wait for the device to cool down before cleaning.

DANGER! Risk of injury through scalding

• Avoid opening the lids for the steamer baskets during the cooking process, since hot steam will escape.
• Ensure that hot steam escapes through the steam vents of the lid for the steamer inserts. Never cover these openings, since otherwise steam might have backed up in the device escaping abruptly when the lid is opened.
• If you want to open the lids for the steamer baskets, lift the lid first at the rear so that the escaping surge of steam is guided away from you.

WARNING! Risk of material damage

- Place the device exclusively on a level, dry, non-slip and waterproof surface, so that it can neither fall nor slip off.

- Never place the device on a hot surface, e.g. hot plate.

- The mixer attachment must only be used with speed settings 1 to 4.

- The button TURBO must not be used when using the mixer attachment.

- Use the blender jug exclusively with the lid in place, otherwise liquid might be ejected.

Do not change the position of the device, as long as there is still food or dough in the device.

- Never overfill the blender jug, since otherwise the contents might be ejected. Overflowing liquid would flow onto the surface. You should therefore place the device on a waterproof surface.

- Ensure that during steaming, there is never too much or too little water in the device.

- Never place the device directly under a wall-mounted cupboard, as steam comes out from the top and could damage the furniture.

- Only ever use clean drinking water for producing steam.

Do not operate the device when it is empty, as this causes the motor to overheat and may result in it being damaged.

- Only use the original accessories.

- Do not use any astringent or abrasive cleaning agents.

The device is equipped with non-slip synthetic suction feet. As furniture is coated with a wide array of varnishes and synthetics, and is also treated with different care products, it cannot be fully ruled out that some of these materials contain ingredients that could attack and soften the non-slip plastic bases. If necessary, place a non-slip mat under the device.

In this case, pull out the mains plug 7 and allow the device to cool.

You may then fill in water and put the device back into operation.

12. Tips on steaming

Steaming is one of the healthiest methods of cooking food. Not only nutrients and colour of the food are maintained to the largest extent possible but also the natural flavour and texture are the gourmet's delight. Thus, it is possible to use salt, fat and spices sparingly.

12.1 Using steamer inserts

As required, you can either use only the deep steamer basket 3 or both steamer baskets (2 and 3).

The shallow steamer basket 2 cannot be used without the deep steamer basket 3.

12.2 Preparing menus

If you prepare a whole menu and therefore use both steamer inserts on top of one another, please make sure that:

- Meat and fish should always be cooked in the bottom steamer basket 3, so that dripping juice will not come into contact with other food;

- The food with the most weight to be cooked should possibly be cooked in the bottom steamer basket 3.
