2. HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE BLENDER

To use the blender, simply place the bowl on the motor unit in such a way that the indicators marked on the bowl are facing you, with the handle at the side. Now place the lid on the boul and fit the measuring cap into the lid. Plug the product in and switch on. It is now ready for use.

Add the ingredients and place the lid on the bowl. It is also possible to place the lid on first, then add the ingredients through the measuring cap. Put the measuring cap back in place after all ingredients have been added. Additional ingredients can also be added through the measuring cap during the blending cycle. Note: First add the liquid ingredients, then the solid ingredients. In this way you will obtain a more homogeneous mixture and prevent unnecessary stress on the motor. . STARTING THE BLENDING CYCLE: press the | touch-pad control. The red light flashes to indicate that the blender is switched on. . SELECTING À BLENDING SPEED: press the speed touch-pad control you have selected. The blender starts to operate. To change the speed, simply press another touch-pad control. It is not necessary to switch the appliance off.

MIXING TIME: take care not to overprocess the food. The results are achieved in seconds, not minutes. STOPPING THE BLENDING CYCLE: Press the touch-pad control already selected. The machine stops. The control light flashes, indicating that it is still switched on. To disconnect, press 0.

6. SEQ MODE: start SEQ-mode blending by pressing the | touch-pad

control, then the SEQ touch-pad control. The SEQ control light flashes. Then press the touch-pad control of the speed desired and release it. Repeat as many times as you wish. Each time you press the SEQ touch-pad control, all control lights (position 1, SEQ and selected speed) light up. The SEQ mode is used to process greater amounts of food or to monitor the texture of foodstuffs when you chop them. The SEQ feature is also effective at the start of blending, or when you feed in foodstuffs which only require low-key blending. TO CRUSH ICE: Use the blender bowl only . To help you monitor the process better, the “ice crush” feature functions like the SEQ mode. Place the ice cubes in the blender bowl, insert the lid and press the | touch-pad control. Then press the “ice crush” touch-pad control in Short sharp bursts until the ice has reached the desired consistency. DETACHING WEDGED FOOD: use a spatula to remove the food wedged around the chopping unit. ENSURE THE MACHINE 1S SWITCHED OFF AND UNPLUGGED BEFORE USING THE SPATULA. Afterwards, insert the lid and continue the blending operation if necessary. Never turn on the blender when the spatula is in the bowl. . AFTER BLENDING: Press the O touch-pad control to switch off, and unplug the machine. Then remove the bowl from the motor unit by lifting it off,

IMPORTANT + Never place the blender bowl on the base, nor remove it while the machine is running. Never pour boiling liquid food into the bowl or introduce frozen solid food (with the exception of ice cubes or pieces of frozen fruit). Allow ingredients to cool for at least 5 minutes before placing them in the blender bowl. If you are blending hot liquids, remove the measuring cap (central piece of the lid) to allow the steam to escape.

4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always switch off and unplug the appliance before cleaning it. Clean the blender boul before using it for the first time, and immediately after each use. To clean it, remove the bowl from the motor unit by lifting it off. Wash the boul in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry it thoroughly. The bow can also be washed in a dishwasher. Do not attempt to dismantie the blender bowl. Clean it extremely cautiously to avoid any risk of injury. To clean the motor unit, use a damp cloth to remove the residue, then wipe clean. Never immerse the motor unit into water or in any other liquid, and never put it in a dishwasher.

5. IMPORTANT HELPFUL HINTS ON USING THE BLENDER

Always place the motor unit on a clean, dry and steady surface. Always add the liquid ingredients first before adding the other ingredients. Using this method, the ingredients will always be uniformiy blended. Cut the majority of foodstuffs into 1 to 5-cm cubes to obtain a more uniform result. Chop all cheeses into approximately 1-cm pieces. Use the measuring cap to measure liquid ingredients such as alcohol. Re-insert the measuring cap once the ingredients have been added. Use a spatula if necessary, but only when the blender has been switched off. Never use metal utensils, since these could damage the bowl or the blades. If you scrape the blender bowl with a spatula, remove the food stuck to the internal sides of the bowl and place it above the blades. If you are chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zests, nuts and spices ete. ensure that the blender bowl and blades are completely dry. If the food tends to stick to the internal sides of the boul during use, operate the machine in short sharp bursts. Stagger the pulses so that the blades stop turning in between these consecutive pulses. Do not store foodstuffs or liquids in the bowl. This machine is not intended for mashing potatoes, kneading dough or stiffly beating egg whites. Do not over-process the foodstuffs. The results expected are achieved in a few seconds, not minutes. Do not overload the blender. I the motor stalls, switch off the machine and unplug it. Remove some of the food, then switch on again.

3. USING THE FOOD PROCESSOR

The food-processor touch-pad control provides the ideal speed for using the machine as a domestic food processor. You can also use the SEQ touch-pad control with this feature. Press the 1 touch-pad control. For a continuous operation, press the food-processor touch-pad control. To stop the machine, press the food-processor touch-pad control again, or press 0. To activate the SEQ feature, press the 1 touch-pad control, then the SEQ touch-pad control, then press and release the food-processor touch-pad control as many times as necessary. By using the appliance in this way, it is easy to control the duration and frequency of the pulses. Leave enough time in between pulses to allow the food to fall to the bottom of the boul.

A. CHOPPING AND PRODUCING PUREES

1. Cut the food into pieces of a similar size, then place into the bowl. You

can put up to 250 g of food into the food processor at the same time.

2. Place the lid and lock in place. Insert the pusher. We recommend that

you hold the food processor with one hand while it is operating. Press the 1 touch-pad control, then the SEQ touch-pad control. Press and release the food-processor touch-pad control two or three times. Each time you release the button, allow the food to fall to the bottom of the bowl before pressing the button again. Check the texture by looking through the bowl. Ensure you do not chop too finely Note : From time to time, a piece of food may become wedged between the blade and the bowl. In this case, remove the lid, carefully lift out the blade and remove the wedged piece. Empty the boul, re-insert the blade and the food, lock the lid into position, and continue the operation. If you want finer chopped vegetables or minced meat, or à finer purée, press the 1 touch-pad control, then the food-processor touch-pad control and allow the machine to operate uninterrupted until the foodstuffs have been chopped as fine as desired. Make frequent checks through the bowl to avoid the food being chopped too finely. If necessary, use a spatula to scrape all the pieces remaining stuck to the inside of the bowl. To purée foodstuffs, follow the same procedure as that used for chopping, but allow the machine to continue operating until you have obtained a homogeneous purée. Caution! Some foods (potatoes for example) may produce a gluey texture if processed for too long.

B. ADDING MORE FOOD WHILE THE MACHINE IS IN OPERATION There is a hole in the pusher which allows you to add liquid ingredients slowly and evenly. If you wish to add some liquid while the machine is running, pour it through this hole. This step is particularly useful when you are making mayonnaise or sauces. To add foodstuffs which are small in size or cut into pieces, like cheese, meat or cloves of garlie, add them through the feedtube opening. Ensure you replace the pusher immediately after adding the ingredients, to avoid any risk of splashes or injury. C. REMOVING FOOD FROM THE FOOD PROCESSOR Before anything else, press the O touch-pad control and wait until the blade stops tuning. Then remove the lid by rotating it in an anticlockwise direction. Never attempt to remove the lid and bowl together; you risk damaging the bowl. When you empty the bowl, ensure that the blade does not fall out to avoid any risk of injury,

D. SLICING AND GRATING

1. Fit the grater/slicer disc into the food processor. Always handle

the disc by the rim. Close the lid and insert the food through the feedtube.

Insert the pusher. Press the | touch-pad control then the food processor touch-pad control. Push the food to the bottom, exerting light pressure. You can remove the pusher to add more food without sitching off the appliance. However, ensure that you never put your fingers in the feedtube. After having sliced or grated all the foodstuffs, press the food-procesor or © touch-pad controls. Wait until the disc Stops turning before removing the lid. Then remove the disc by lifting it up. Now remove the bowl and pour out the food.

4. CLEANING AND STORAGE OF THE ATTACHMENTS

Store the blade and slicer/grater disc out of reach of children. All the attachments can be washed in a dishwasher, except the food-processor base unit, which must not be immersed in water. Wipe it with a damp cloth If you clean the blade(s) and discs by hand, be very careful. Avoid letting them soak in soapy water, where they could disappear from vieu.
