Functionality when using the appliance as a blender: When the blender shaft is inserted into the motor unit, you can only activate appli- ance as long as you press and hold the left side of the ON/OFF button (I). Once you release the ON/OFF button, the blender stops. This is a safety precaution.101100 GB GB Storage box for the attachments and the blender shaft key Storage box for the egg whisks, dough hooks and the blender shaft

When all parts are completely dry, put the mixer back together as described in the sections “Use as a handheld mixer” (see page 102) or “Use as a blender” (see page 107). Note: The blade attachments for the blender are extremely sharp. Avoid any con- tact to your fingers resp. your hand!

Lift the motor unit off the storage base. Lift the storage base off the storage box. The storage layer with the compartments for the attachments and the key is located underneath. If you lift it by its nose, you can find the transparent storage box for the stirring tools (egg whisks and dough hooks), the blender shaft and the power cord underneath.

Before using your mixer for the first time, remove all potential advertisement stickers and labels (apart from the type plate).

Rinse all parts of the mixer apart from the motor unit with warm water and some dishwashing liquid. Make sure not to cut yourself on the sharp blender shaft attachments. For the attachments, best use a dishwashing brush. Dry all parts carefully.

Place the accessories back in the corresponding positions in the different levels and put the three-part storage box back together.

Wipe the motor unit clean with a soft, slightly moist towel. The motor unit must not be held under running water or submerged in water resp. come into contact with another liquid. Storage base for motor unit103102 GB GB Inserting the egg whisks:

1. Push one egg whisk into each opening so that they lock into place. The egg

whisks have no ring markings, the arrangement plays no role for the egg whisks.

2. Make sure that both egg whisks have locked into place.

The egg whisks are suitable for stirring sponge mixture, beating egg whites, whipping cream, junket, mayonnaise, sauces and sweet dishes. Caution: You have to insert either two dough hooks or two egg whisks into the motor unit. Never use the appliance if only one stirring tool has been inserted. Never insert one dough hook and one egg whisk! The appliance might be damaged!

There are two openings for stirring tools in the bottom of the motor unit. The left opening is slightly larger than the right opening. Make sure that the appliance is not connected to the power before attaching the stirring tools. Note: The openings for the stirring tools are only open and accessible if the cover for the fixation of the blender shaft (I) is pushed down and closed. This prevents splashes from getting into the blender shaft fixation while the appliance is used as a handheld mixer. Inserting the dough hooks:

1. Push the dough hook marked with the ring into the larger opening on the left.

2. Push the dough hook without the ring into the smaller opening on the right.

3. Make sure that both dough hooks have locked into place.

Caution: For the handheld mixer to work properly and safely, it is very important that the dough hook with the ring is pushed into the larger opening!

The dough hooks are especially well suited to stirring yeast dough, fine pastry and potato dough for spaetzle and hash browns.105104 GB GB Tip: To prevent vigorous splashes and dusting, e.g. caused by flour, we recom- mend fully submerging the egg whisks resp. dough hooks in the ingredients before switching the mixer on. For the same reason, switch the appliance off before taking the attachments out of the stirred ingredients. Always start in the lowest speed and only increase the speed after the dry ingre- dients have been mixed in. When making heavy dough, we recommend using a higher speed. Removing the dough hooks / egg whisks:

1. Switch the appliance off after mixing or kneading with the ON/OFF switch and

pull the power plug.

2. Push the release button (A) to release the egg whisks resp. the dough hooks.

Caution: Never push the release button (A) while the appliance is in handheld mixer mode!

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Clean the motor unit, the stirring tools and the blender shaft as well as the attachments after every use to prevent leftover food from caking on the drive shaft.

Make sure that the power plug is pulled before cleaning and that the attachment has been removed from the blender shaft. Be careful to avoid injuring yourself with the sharp blades.

Wipe the motor unit clean with a slightly moist, soft towel. Remove potential food leftovers on the power cord. Caution: Never hold the motor unit with the power cord and the power plug under running water or submerge it in water resp. clean it with liquids other than water.

Wash the stirring tools as well as the blender shaft and the blender jug in warm water with a mild dishwashing liquid and a soft sponge. Best use a washing-up brush to clean the sharp attachments to avoid injuring yourself with them. Dry all parts carefully. If you have blended very salty food, you should wash the attachments and the blender shaft right after using them, otherwise the salt might affect the blades. Caution: Remember that the blades are very sharp and do not injure yourself!

Tip: The stirring tools (egg whisks and dough hooks) can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

If you have processed foods that can cause discolouration like e.g. carrots, the plastic parts might be discoloured. Wipe the discoloured areas with cooking oil before cleaning them.

When not using the Solis Hand & Stick Mixer for prolonged periods of time, we recommend greasing the drive shaft in the foot of the blender shaft with a few drops of cooking oil so that it can rotate smoothly. Caution: Do not use any aggressive or scouring detergents or steel sponges to clean the appliance as these might damage the surface.115114 GB GB
