Important
- The blade ⑨ is very sharp! Take hold of the blade by the knob only. After use, always first remove the blade from the food processor bowl ⑥ before removing the processed food.
- Make sure that your voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the bottom of the appliance. Connect to alternating current (AC) only.
- Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Overload protection
In order to avoid damages caused by overload, this appliance is equipped with an automatic security switch which shuts off the current supply if necessary. In such case, turn the motor switch ③ back to «off/0» and wait approximately 15 minutes to allow the motor to cool off before switching the appliance on again.
Pulse mode «● pulse» ④
The pulse mode is useful for the following applications:
- Chopping delicate and soft food, e.g., eggs, onions or parsley.
- Carefully folding flour into dough or batter to maintain the creaminess.
- Adding whipped eggs or cream to solid food.
The pulse mode «● pulse» is activated by pressing the blue knob ④ on the motor switch with switch setting at «off/0».
Before activating the pulse mode, set the desired speed with the speed regulator ⑤. When releasing the blue pulse knob ④, the appliance is switched off.
Recommended speed ranges for individual attachments
Set the speed range by means of the variable speed regulator ⑤. It is recommended to first select the speed and then switch on the appliance in order to work with the desired speed from the start.
| Attachments | Speed range |
| Kneading hook | 6 |
| Blade | 6-14 |
| Whipping attachment: | |
| - egg whites | 5 |
| - cream | 3 |
| Slicing, grating and shredding blades | 2-8 |
| French-fry disc | 2-3 |
| (please also refer to food icons on the base for guidance) | |
Double safety feature:
The appliance can only be switched on when the food processor bowl with lid is properly engaged. If the lid is unlocked during operation, the motor switches off automatically. If this occurs and the motor switch ③ is still on «I», turn it back to «off/0» to avoid switching on the motor accidentally.
Attaching the food processor bowl ⑥ and the lid ⑦
- With the motor switched off, place the food processor bowl onto the drive position of the base ① matching the arrow on the bowl with the arrow on the base (A). Then turn the bowl in the «function» direction as far as it will go.
-
Put the attachment needed (see instructions for each of the attachments) onto the drive shaft of the bowl and push it down as far as it will go until it clicks into place.
-
Put the lid ⑦ onto the bowl matching the arrow on the lid with the arrow on the bowl.
Then turn the lid clockwise guiding its extended rim into the safety lock opening of the base ① until you hear it click into place (B).
Removing the food processor bowl ⑥ and the lid ⑦
Switch off the appliance. Turn the lid counterclockwise and lift it off. Then turn the food processor bowl in the «click» direction all the way until it stops, then lift off the bowl.
Note: If you continue turning the food processor bowl in the «click» direction as far as it will go, beyond the stop position, you can lock the food processor bowl on the motor base. In this position, however, you cannot switch on the motor.
When removing the blade from the bowl, hold it by the knob and pull it off.
Caution: The blade is very sharp.
The blade ⑨ comes with a protective cover. When not in use, store the blade in the protective cover.
Cleaning
First, always switch off the motor and unplug the appliance. Clean the base ① with a damp cloth only.
All parts can be cleaned in the dishwasher. If necessary, clean all parts thoroughly with a spatula before rinsing them.
Color-intensive food (e.g. carrots) may leave stains on the plastic parts; wipe them off with vegetable oil before cleaning with soap and water.
Do not use sharp objects for cleaning purposes.
Clean the blades very carefully - they are very sharp.
1. Kneading
For kneading you can use the kneading hook ⑦ or the blade ⑨ . For best results, we recommend using the kneading hook which is specially designed for making dough, pasta and pastries.
Heavy doughs (bread, cookie dough, pasta, pastries)
Maximum 500 g/16 oz. flour plus other ingredients, speed 6, 1 1/2 minutes
Pour the flour into the food processor bowl, then add the other ingredients except any liquids.
Put on the lid ⑦ and lock in place. Then choose speed 6 and switch the appliance on.
Add liquids by pouring them through the opening in the lid while the motor is running.
When kneading with the blade ⑨ , do not add ingredients like raisins, candied peel, almonds, etc. which are not supposed to be cut. These have to be added maually after taking the kneaded dough out of the food processor bowl.
Pasta dough
Maximum 500 g/16 oz. flour plus other ingredients, speed 6, 1 1/2 minutes
Pour the flour into the food processor bowl, then add the other ingredients except any liquids.
Pour the required amount of liquid through the opening in the lid while the motor is running.
Do not add any liquid after the dough has formed into a ball as the liquid will not be absorbed properly.
Pastries
Maximum 500 g/16 oz. flour plus other ingredients, speed 6, approximately 1 minute
Pour flour into the food processor bowl, then add the other ingredients. For best results, the butter used must not be too hard or too soft.
Put on the lid ⑦ and lock in place. Choose speed 6 and switch on the appliance.
Stop kneading the dough right after it has formed into a ball. Processing any longer will result in the pastry dough becoming too soft.
2. Mixing
For light doughs/batters (cake mix, sponge cake) use the blade ⑨
The kneading hook ⑦ is not suitable for mixing cake mixes or sponge cakes.
Maximum 500 g/16 oz. flour plus other ingredients

- Put the assembled slicer/shredder onto the drive shaft of the food processor bowl (D).
- Put on the lid ⑦ and lock in place. Set the speed and put the food to be processed into the opening of the lid
while the motor is switched off. Refilling should be done with the motor switched off.
- Never reach into the opening of the lid when the motor is running. Always use the food pusher (E).
