Before using the appliance for the first time and after each subsequent use, rinse the blender jug, blade assembly, lid and lid cap thoroughly. Please also read section “7. Cleaning the appliance” on page 40. NOTE The appliance is driven by an electric motor. This can lead to a slight smell during initial operation. This smell is normal and is not a sign of malfunction. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation. Fill the blender jug.

5.6.1. Attaching the lid

Place the lid onto the blender jug so that the catches on the lid engage with the corresponding slots on the blender jug. Twist the lid onto the blender jug until it closes tightly and the protrusion on the lid is fully aligned with the handle on the blender jug. Only then will the safety contact on the base allow operation. Place the blender jug directly onto the drive shaft on the blender base. NOTE The blender cannot be operated if the blender jug is incorrectly fitted. If incorrectly fitted, the safety contact on the housing edge would prevent operation. Connect the blender to an AC 220-240 V ~ 50/60Hz mains socket. The blender is now ready for use.

6. Using the blender

WARNING! Moving parts with sharp edges. There is a risk of injury. Avoid touching the blade assembly. ATTENTION! Never remove the lid and/or blender jug before the blade as- sembly has come to a complete standstill. ATTENTION! Always set the on/off switch to the OFFposition before inserting or removing the blender jug! Never use the blender jug without the lid on! Place the blender jug on the base.

Fill the blender jug. Place the lid and lid cap on the blender jug. ATTENTION! Do not operate the blender for more than 3 minutes at a time. Wait a few minutes for the appliance to cool before blending again. Select the appropriate speed from the following table based on the required use: Speed level Food 1-3 Blending liquids 4-6 Blending liquids containing solid foods If food sticks to the side of the jug (e.g. herbs or other wet food), switch the ap- pliance off and dislodge the food with a flat spoon or spatula then pulse two or three more times to chop them. ATTENTION! Do not overload the blender motor by adding large amounts of frozen or very hard ingredients to the blender jug. If the mo- tor does not run smoothly, switch the appliance off immediately (speed control to position 0), disconnect from the mains and re- move some ingredients from the blender jug. In order to add more ingredients, remove the lid cap. You can now add ingredients during operation. Use the pusher to push the ingredients down. Do not forget to replace the lid cap after you have added the ingredients. Once the mixture has been chopped sufficiently, wait until the blade stops. Set the on/off switch to the OFF position and disconnect the mains plug from the socket. Lift the blender jug upwards to remove it from the base. Remove the lid and lid cap and empty the blender jug. 16517 Standmixer DE EN FR NL DK ECommerce Content final.indb 3816517 Standmixer DE EN FR NL DK ECommerce Content final.indb 38 17.09.2015 09:36:2117.09.2015 09:36:21DE

39 of 114 Pulse mode Use the pulse button to crush ice or chop solid foods. The pulse button must be held down continually during operation. NOTE When chopping food, working in pulse mode will achieve the best re- sults. Operating it for longer will chop the food too finely. 6.1.

Fill the blender jug with ice cubes. Place the blender jug directly onto the drive shaft on the base. Press the pulse button 3 to 4 times for a maximum of 15 seconds, leaving short intervals between each pulse. 16517 Standmixer DE EN FR NL DK ECommerce Content final.indb 3916517 Standmixer DE EN FR NL DK ECommerce Content final.indb 39 17.09.2015 09:36:2117.09.2015 09:36:2140 of 114

7. Cleaning the appliance

WARNING! Live components. There is a risk of electrical shock. Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids! WARNING! Parts with sharp edges. There is a risk of injury.
