DANGER! Risk of electric shock due to moisture

The device must never be operated in the vicinity of a bathtub, a shower, a filled hand basin or similar.

The motor unit, the housing, the power cable and the mains plug must not be immersed in water or other liquids.

- Protect the motor unit and housing from dampness and dripping or splashing water.

- If liquid gets into the motor unit or housing, remove the mains plug immediately. Have the device checked before reusing.

- Never touch the device with wet hands.

- If the device falls into water, disconnect the mains plug immediately. Only then is it safe to retrieve the device.

DANGER! Risk of electric shock

- Only plug the mains plug into the wall socket after the device has been completely assembled.

- Only connect the mains plug to a properly installed and easily accessible wall socket whose voltage corresponds to the specifications on the rating plate. The wall socket must continue to be easily accessible after the device is plugged in.

- Ensure that the power cable cannot be damaged by sharp edges or hot points. Do not wrap the power cable around the device.

The device is not fully disconnected from the power supply, even after it is switched off. In order to fully disconnect it, pull out the mains plug.

- When using the device, ensure that the power cable cannot be trapped or crushed.

- When removing the mains plug, always pull the plug and never the cable.

- Disconnect the mains plug from the wall socket...

... if there is a fault,

... if you are not using the Smoothie Blender and

... during thunderstorms.

Do not use the device if there is visible damage to the device or the power cable.

- To avoid any risk, do not make modifications to the device.

DANGER! Risk of injury from cutting

The blades of the blade assembly carry on rotating after the device has been switched off. Wait until the blades have come to a standstill before you remove the blender jug.

The blades of the blade assembly are sharp. Handle it with care. When washing manually, the water should be sufficiently clear that you can see the blades easily.

Under no circumstances should the device be operated without the blender jug.

WARNING! Risk of material damage

- Thick or firm peels, (e.g. of citrus fruits, pineapple), stems and pips of stone fruits (e.g. cherries, peaches, apricots) must be removed before blending.

Do not put any ingredients with a temperature in excess of 85 °C into the blender jug.

In order to prevent damage to the device, interrupt the blending process immediately if the blades of the blade assembly rotate with difficulty or not at all. Pull out the mains plug and investigate whether there is an obstruction in the blender jug or whether the contents are too viscous. Also check whether the device is assembled correctly.

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

The device is designed for a maximum operating time of 20 seconds without interruption. After this, the device must remain switched off until it has cooled down to room temperature.

- Only use the original accessories.

The device (housing, motor unit, power cable with mains plug) is not dishwasher safe.

- Do not use any astringent or abrasive cleaning agents.

The device is fitted with non-slip plastic bases. 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.

Application area

The Smoothie Mixer is intended solely for blending whole fruit drinks (smoothies) and crushing small quantities of ice.

Preparing food

WARNING! Risk of material damage!

Thick or firm peels, (e.g. of citrus fruits, pineapple), stems and pips of stone fruits (e.g. cherries, peaches, apricots) must be removed before blending.

• Rinse or wash the fruits.
• Cut the fruit into rough pieces (approx. 3-4 cm edge length).
• Please use a sufficient amount of liquid (mineral water, fruit juice, milk, yoghurt). We recommend a mixing ratio of 1:1.

Blending

CAUTION: depending on the hardness and consistency of the ingredients in the blender jug 6, do not fill it to the maximum; otherwise the blade assembly 4 could become clogged.

NOTES:

• If the smoothie is too thick, add a little mineral water, fruit juice, milk or yoghurt to suit your taste.
• You may achieve a more even consistency for the smoothie (e. g. when using harder fruits), if you repeatedly interrupt and restart the blending process (pulse function: release and then press the mix button 2 again).

• If there are still bit of food (e.g. fruit cores) on the sealing ring 14, wipe it down with kitchen roll in order to ensure its sealing function.

• Place the fruit pieces and other ingredients into the blender jug 6 as desired.

• Figure C: stick the blender jug into the preassembled blade assembly 4 from the bottom. The marking 9 points towards the opened lock 5. The locking blades 10 on the blender jug engage into the recess at the blade insert.

• Turn the blender jug as far as it will go in a clockwise direction, until the marking 9 points to the closed lock 5.

• Connect the mains plug 7 with the wall socket.

• Figure A: pivot the blender jug with the motor unit 1 into its maximum upward position.

• Press and hold the mix button 2. The blending process is started.

• Release the mix button 2 after approx. 10 - 20 seconds. The blending process is thereby completed.

• Figure B: pivot the blender jug with the motor unit into its fully downwards position.

• Wait until the drink has collected in the blender jug 6.

• Turn the blender jug anti-clockwise until the marking 9 points to the opened lock 5.

• Pull the blender jug downwards to release it from the blade assembly 4. To remove the large blender jug, first pivot the motor unit slightly upwards.

• If there are still rather large pieces of fruit in the smoothie, repeat the blending process for a few seconds.

• If necessary, close the blender jug with the lid 11.

• Clean the device with the cleaning jug 8 as soon as possible after use.

• Disconnect the mains plug 7 from the wall socket.

Crushing ice

• Place a maximum of 50 g of ice cubes per process into the blender jug.
  • To crush ice, you should briefly interrupt and restart the blending process several times (pulse function: release blender button 2 and press it again)
