Overload cut-out The appliance is equipped with an overload cut-out, which switches the appliance off if it starts to overheat, protecting the unit from damage. When this happens, the overload cut- out reset button (Fig. 1/N) jumps out.

If this happens, proceed as follows. Failure to follow this procedure can result in damage to the appliance, which is not covered by the guarantee. 0 Allow the appliance to cool down for at least 15 seconds. 0 Turn the speed selector (Fig. 1/I) left to "0" position (Fig. 16/➀). 0 Remove the mix container or all-pur- pose bowl (Fig. 16/➁ and ➂), as descri- bed at the relevant point in these operating instructions. 0 Remove the mains plug from the socket (Fig. 17/➀). 0 Lay the appliance on its back to gain access to the bottom (Fig. 17/➁). 0 Press the overload cut-out reset button (Fig. 1/N) on the bottom of the appli- ance. If the appliance has cooled down sufficiently, the button will engage (Fig. 17/➂). If it jumps back out, allow the appliance to cool down a little lon- ger, then repeat the process. 0 Once the reset button has engaged, put the appliance back to its normal working position (Fig. 18/➀). 0 Plug the power lead back into the mains socket (Fig. 18/➁). 0 Replace the mix container or all-pur- pose bowl (Fig. 18/➂ and ➃), as descri- bed at the relevant point in these operating instructions. 0 The appliance is now ready for use again. Turn the speed selector to the right to the required position (Fig. 18/➄) and continue with the function that was interrupted. Mixer The mixer is used to prepare a wide range of mixed drinks, to crush ice, reduce fruit and vegetables, etc. Preparing mixer In order to fit the mix container, the safety cover for the mixer drive (figs. 1/T and 4) must be removed. 0 Turn the safety cover clockwise and remove. – The red warning lamp (fig. 4/a) flashes. 0 Place the mix container (figs. 1/B and

2) on the mixer drive (arrow on

All-purpose bowl and tools 0 The all-purpose bowl and tools should be cleaned in rinsing water. Caution: The metal blade is extremely sharp! Danger of injury!822_949_311 AFP850-880_EX.book Seite 64 Dienstag, 22. Januar 2008 8:57 20g

Plastic parts age more quickly if cleaned frequently in a dishwasher. If they are nevertheless to be cleaned in a dishwasher, they must be placed in the upper basket. Inserts 0 Clean inserts with brush or cloth under running water or in a dishwasher!

Caution: The inserts are very sharp! Danger of injury! Storage All accessories except the citrus press can be stored directly in the appliance.

• Store the inserts in the accessories compartment (fig. 1/K).

Caution: The inserts are very sharp. Danger of injury! They should only be held by the handle!

• Stow the accessories away in the all- purpose bowl as shown in fig. 12.

Caution: The metal blade (fig. 1/Q) is extremely sharp! Danger of injury! Hold the metal blade only by the han- dle and store only with the blade guard fitted!

• Wind the cable round the two hooks at the rear of the appliance (fig. 15). Technical data Mains voltage: 230 – 240 V Power consumption: 800 W

This appliance conforms with the fol- lowing EC Directives:

• Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC

• The mixer is very well suited for chop- ping small amounts of food such as nuts, breadcrumbs or herbs.

• Sauces which have separated can be quickly saved again in the mixer.

• Cut or break up foods to be processed in the mixer into cubes of about 2 to 3cm.

• Always remove the stones of fruit and bones from meat, since these can dam- age the blade unit.

• Crushing ice: always add a little water to the container before crushing ice.

• When processing dry mixtures it may be necessary to switch off the appli- ance occasionally, to open the mixer lid and scrape the mixture from the walls of the container with the scraper.

• When mixing liquid and solid ingredi- ents first mix the liquid items and then add the dry ingredients.

• Allow hot liquids to cool before processing in the mixer.

• If hot ingredients must be processed, the mix container must be aerated by removing the closing cover. *Always start at a low speed and then increase the speed.

Multifunction section Chopping For a uniform result pieces of size as equal as possible should be processed. The food should be cut or broken up before processing into pieces of equal size. Ensure that the container is not too full. Minced meat Cut the meat into cubes of approx. 2 cm before processing. Vegetables Peel and quarter vegetables such as onions for processing. Mixing The amount for processing varies according to the viscosity of the foods processed. Adding ingredients Place dry ingredients such as flour in the all-purpose bowl before processing. The ingredients do not have to be mixed before processing. Liquid ingre- dients can be added through the filling inlet while processing. Liquid ingredients can be added through the filling inlet while process- ing. Note: When processing sauces or semi- liquid ingredients it may be necessary to switch off the appliance occasion- ally, to open the cover of the all-pur- pose bowl and scrape the mixture from the wall of the bowl with the scraper. Working with the insert holder Correct supply of the foods through the filling inlet is very important. Cut the prepared foods a little smaller if necessary, so that they pass easily through the filling inlet. Add the items for filling as vertically as possible simultaneously in the filling inlet. Compress the items evenly with the stopper. The degree of pressure influ- ences the concentration of the cut food.

Use only the stopper for further addi- tions. Never reach in the filling inlet with the fingers! The appliance can be damaged by pressing too hard with the stopper!

There is always a little unprocessed food remaining between the stopper and the insert holder. Grating cheese Cool soft cheese such as Emmental or mozzarella well before grating. Process hard cheese such as Parmesan at room temperature. Note: Parmesan should be processed with little pressure on the stopper. 822_949_311 AFP850-880_EX.book Seite 67 Dienstag, 22.
