non-slip mat underneath the motor unit so that the surface is not damaged.

2. Decide whether you want to use a beaker or the mixing container (see the "Accessories"

chapter, "Beakers and keep-fresh lids" and "Mixing container" sections). If you want to use a beaker: – Pour the ingredients you want into the beaker of your choice. – Depending on your requirements, screw the cross-blade or at-blade attachment onto the beaker (see the "Accessories" chapter, "Cross-blade and at-blade attachment" section). If you want to use the mixing container: – Unscrew the bottom cap of the mixing container and, depending on your requirements, screw the cross-blade or at-blade attachment onto the mixing container (see the "Accessories" chapter, "Cross-blade and at-blade attachment" section). – Turn the lid of the mixing container anticlockwise and remove the lid. – Pour the ingredients you want into the container and then close the lid again. Make sure that the lid sits on the container so that the pouring spout is completely closed shut!

• If you want to use the sieve insert, rst place the insert into the (empty!) mixing container. Make sure that the little bars inside the container sit correctly in the notches in the sieve insert.

• For juicing, you should only feed the pieces of fruit or vegetables into the mixing container after the device has been switched on (see step 5).

3. Now place the lled container into the motor unit (the blade

attachment is "sunk" into the motor unit; see illustration). Make sure that the locking lugs on the beaker or mixing container rest correctly in the recesses of the motor unit.

4. Insert the mains plug into a properly installed mains socket

that is easily accessible.

5. To switch on the device, press the container down slightly

and at the same time turn it clockwise until it engages. Always keep hold of the motor unit with one hand while preparing food. If you are using the mixing container, remove the insert in the middle of the lid to add ingredients. You can use the plunger to continuously feed in more ingredients.

6. To switch o󰀨 the device, turn the container anticlockwise again until you feel some

resistance. Always wait until the blades have come to a complete standstill before you remove the container.

Never immerse the device in water or other liquids! Ensure that the device, cable or mains plug do not fall into water or become wet. ■ After every use, thoroughly clean the accessories immediately with warm water and a little mild detergent to prevent the formation of germs. Do not allow any food resi- dues to dry on. ■ Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents to clean the device. These could damage the surface.

• Clean the accessories which have been used with clear, warm water and some mild detergent. The accessories can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

• Only wipe the motor unit with a slightly damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly.

• Allow all parts to dry completely before assembling the device again and / or putting it away for storage. Store the device in a dry, clean place that is not accessible to children. NOTE: The plastic parts may discolour with time. However, this is of no concern with respect to health or the functioning of the device parts. Troubleshooting If the device is not working properly, please check whether you are able to rectify the problem yourself rst. Do not attempt to repair a defective device yourself! If you are unable to switch the device on, check the following:

• Is the mains plug properly connected with the socket?

• Is the socket defective? Try another socket.

• Was the fuse for your mains connection triggered?

• Has the blade adapter been correctly screwed onto the blending container?

• Is the blending container correctly tted in the motor unit? The device can only be activated if the blending container has been properly tted in the motor unit and has locked in place.

The adjacent symbol (crossed-out bin underlined) means that used devices should not be disposed of in the domestic waste, but should instead be taken to special collection and return systems. Owners of used devices from private households can take them free of charge to the collection points of the public waste disposal authorities or the disposal points which are set up by manufacturers and distributors under the Electrical Equipment Act so that they can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way and valuable raw materials can be recovered. If they are not disposed of prop- erly, toxic ingredients may escape into the environment and cause harm to the health of humans, animals and plants. Businesses which market electrical and electronic devices are also obliged to take back used devices. Waste prevention makes an even more valuable contribution to protecting the environment. This means if possible, as well as continuing to use or repair a device yourself, passing it on to another user also represents an ecologically benecial alternative to disposal.
