Applications/handling Wrist movement Whilst processing, use a light swivelling motion from the wrist, draw bamix up a little and let it fall again on the ingredients (do not press or pound). The fineness of the result depends on the length of processing.

Drawing up Rest the bamix for a few seconds on the bottom of the jug. Then hold it at an angle and draw it up slowly against the side of the jug. When the ingredients no longer are drawn with it, put it back on the bottom and repeat the process until the ingredients are whipped to the required stiffness.

Blending Dip bamix at an angle in the ingredients, switch it on and blend. Before removing the appliance from the ingredients, switch it off to prevent splashing. Tip: Whilst working, hold your free hand over the top of the jug to prevent ingredients spraying out.

Switch positions Step I for all light, airy dishes and small amounts. Step II for all viscous, firm ingredients and large amounts. This appliance is only to be used for the preparation of food. Any other application of the unit can be dangerous and can lead to personal injuries. When the appliance is operated incorrectly, the liability and the guarantee become invalid.

Putting on and exchanging the attachments Push the attachment as straight as possible on to the stub in such a way that the drive pin on the stub fits exactly into the small recess in the socket of the attachment. The attachment is designed to make this process easy. The attachment is removed by simply pulling it off from the stub. For protection please use a cloth. Careful: For safety’s sake, when you exchange the attachments always pull out the plug. Receptacles You can work in any receptacle, even directly in a pan on the stove. Use small receptacles for small amounts and large receptacles for larger amounts. Narrow, high receptacles are more suitable for working in than wide, shallow ones. Cleaning and care Cleaning is very easy. Remove the attachment and clean it. It is enough to clean the chromium-plated part of the appliance after every use under running water (do not switch on). The easiest way to clean off bits of food which have stuck to bamix is to hold it in a jug with hot water and switch it on. Take care that the switch does not come in contact with water.

Important: Clean the appliance as soon as you have finished working, to prevent the drive shaft getting clogged. The bamix will stay longer “fit” if you oil it every few months. For this use an acid-free oil (e.g. vaseline oil, obtainable at a chemist’s). Hold the bamix upside down with the cutter guard facing you, put 2 or 3 drops of oil on the drive shaft, and switch on the appliance for 2 to 3 minutes. Afterwards rinse the appliance in hot water.

What can be done… if the drive shaft of your appliance no longer rotates? When you have not used your appliance for some time, the drive shaft may get stuck due to minute foodstuff residues which have hardened and are now gumming up the lower shaft bearing. Place the operative part of the appliance for 5 to 10 minutes in a jug with hot water, then switch it on. In general the appliance will then work again; if not, just try to free the shaft carefully with pliers. Storage Stand Wall bracket The bamix should always be placed ready to hand where you work (preferably between the stove and the sink).

The more handily bamix is placed, the more often it gets used.
