Technical diagram showing mechanical assembly steps with labeled components C and E

The sealing rings prevent liquid or food from escaping between the bowl and the lid (Fig. C) and between the multiblade and the bottom of the Thermocooker Expert (Fig. E).
○ Only use the Thermocooker Expert with correctly fitted and clean sealing rings to prevent damage or injury.
○ Inspect them regularly as they might become brittle over time. Replace them immediately if leakage occurs or at last every two years.

- MULTIBLADE

This tool is a perfect allrounder for chopping or mincing meat, nuts, onions, herbs, vegetables and all kind of ingredients.

For homemade applesauce, soup ou mashed potatoes, use the multiblade to reduce the food to a smooth purée, directly after cooking.

The multiblade of the Thermocooker Expert is also to be used to blend fruits and dairy to create delicious and healthy smoothies, ice creams or sorbets.

Inserting the multiblade

Exhausted appliances should be collected separately to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling materials comprising the machine, while preventing potential damage to public health and the environment. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol appears on all products to remind owners of the obligations regarding separate waste collection. Owners should contact their local authorities or appliance dealers for further information concerning the correct disposal of household appliances.
