DANGER! ELECTRIC SHOCK! ► The appliance should only be connected to a correctly in- stalled and earthed mains power socket. Ensure that the rating for your local power supply corresponds with the details on the rating plate of the appliance. ► Ensure that the power cable does not become wet or moist during use. Route the cable in such a way that it cannot be crushed or damaged. ► Keep the power cable away from hot surfaces. ► To avoid potential risks, a damaged mains cable should be replaced by the manufacturer, their customer service de- partment or a similarly qualified person. ► Do not perform any repairs on the appliance. All repairs must be performed by our Customer Service Unit or by a qualified specialist technician. ► Remove the plug from the mains power socket when the appliance is being cleaned or in the event of a fault. Simply switching off the appliance is not sufficient, as the appli- ance is subject to mains voltage as long as the plug is con- nected to the mains power socket. ► Always remove the plug from the mains power socket when the appliance is not in use! ► The appliance and its connecting cable must be kept away from children. Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.SKM 550 B3■ 6

ing approx. 3 mm from the wall so that you can hang the accessories holder6 on them.

4) Place the accessories holder6 over the screws and push it downwards

so that the accessories holder6 rests firmly on the screws.

7. Selecting suitable accessories

Depending on the ingredients you want to process, choose the appropriate accessories as described below. Kneading hook, whisk and beater The kneading hook1 is suitable for making bread dough, piz- za dough or yeast cake and for folding in solid ingredients that are not chopped, such as raisins, flaked almonds or chocolate chips. Use the whisk2 to process lighter doughs and mixtures, such as sponge cake, mashed potato or spritz cookie dough. The beater3 is used to whip egg whites or whipped cream. You can also use it to stir liquid doughs, such as pancake batter. Always use the mixing bowl with lid 7 for all preparations using the knead- ing hook1, whisk2 and beater3.SKM 550 B3 GB

 9 ■ Continuous shredder with various discs The grating disc 9 is ideal for grating hard cheese such as Parmesan and shredding fruit and vegetables such as apples and carrots. You can also use it to grate raw potatoes to make potato pancakes. Do not use the grating disc 9 to grate soft or semi-hard cheese. The rotary shredding disc 0 is ideal for chopping fruit and vegetables into fine or coarse pieces. You can also use it to grate cheese (except hard cheese), e.g. for pizza. The sides of the rotary shredding disc 0 are marked accordingly: "Fine Shredder II" for fine grating and "Coarse Shredder I" for coarse shredding. The marked side must face upwards in the continu- ous shredder 8. The rotary slicing disc w is designed for cutting fruit and vege- tables into thin to medium-thick slices. The sides of the rotary slicing disc are marked accordingly: "Fine Slicer IV" for thin slic- es and "Coarse Slicer III" for thicker slices. The marked side must face upwards in the continuous shredder 8. Do not use the rotary slicing disc w for slicing hard cheese, bread or choc- olate. Always use the mixing bowl 7 in combination with the continuous shredder 8, but without the lid on. Blender The blender 5 is suitable for chopping and mixing ingredients with liquids, e.g. for preparing smoothies, chilled vegetable soups, mayonnaise or cocktails. Do not use the blender 5 to chop meat, herbs, onions, nuts or other hard foods.SKM 550 B3■ 10
