2 You can also use the pusher to close the feed tube in order to prevent ingredients from escaping through the feed tube. Blade ◗ The blade can be used for chopping, mixing, blending, pureeing and preparing cake mixtures.

2 Remove the protective cover from the blade. The cutting edges of the blade are very sharp Avoid touching them!

4 Put the tool holder in the bowl. 5 Put the ingredients in the bowl. Pre-cut large pieces of food into pieces of approx. 3 x 3 cm. Put the lid on the bowl.

6 The buttons allow you to adjust the speed of the appliance to obtain optimal results.

'PULSE / 0' button: for pulse operation and for turning the appliance off. If the PULSE / 0 button is pressed the appliance runs at the highest speed. The appliance stops running when the button is released.

button 1: for normal speed.

button 2: for high speed. See the table for the recommended speeds. Processing takes 10 - 60 seconds. Tips ◗ The appliance chops very quickly. Use the pulse function for short periods at a time to prevent the food from becoming too finely chopped. ◗ Do not let the appliance run too long when you are chopping (hard) cheese. The cheese will become too hot, will start to melt and will turn lumpy. ◗ Do not use the blade to chop very hard ingredients like coffee beans, nutmeg and ice cubes. The blade might get blunt. If food sticks to the blade or to the inside of the bowl: 1 Switch the appliance off. 2 Remove the lid from the bowl. 3 Remove the ingredients with the spatula. Inserts The cutting edges of the inserts are very sharp Do not touch them! Do not process hard ingredients, such as ice cubes, with the inserts!

1 Put the selected insert in the insert holder.

2 Place the insert holder onto the tool holder that stands in the bowl. 3 Put the lid on the bowl.

4 Put the ingredients in the feed tube. Pre- cut large chunks to make them fit into the feed tube. 5 Fill the feed tube evenly for the best results. When you have to cut large amounts of food, process only small batches at a time and empty the bowl regularly between the batches.

CLICKENGLISH10 6 Select the appropriate speed to obtain optimal results. See the table for the recommended speed. Processing takes 10-60 seconds.

7 Press the ingredients slowly and steadily down the feed tube with the pusher.

1 Fit the kneading accessory onto the tool holder. 2 Put the ingredients in the bowl.

3 Close the bowl with the lid.

4 Close the feed tube by placing the pusher in it.

5 Select the appropriate speed to obtain optimal results. See the table for the recommended speed. Emulsifying disc You can use the emulsifying disc to prepare mayonnaise, to whip cream and to whisk egg whites.

1 Put the emulsifying disc onto the tool holder that stands in the bowl. 2 Put the ingredients in the bowl and put the lid on the bowl. 3 Select the appropriate speed to obtain optimal results. See the table for the recommended speed. Tips ◗ When you want to whisk egg whites, make sure the eggs are at room temperature. Take the eggs out of the refrigerator at least half an hour before you are going to use them. ◗ All the ingredients for making mayonnaise must be at room temperature. Oil can be added through the small hole in the bottom of the pusher.ENGLISH 11 ◗ If you are going to whip cream, the cream must be taken straight from the refrigerator. Please observe the preparation time in the table. Cream should not be whipped too long. Use the pulse function to have more control over the process. Blender The blender is intended for: - Blending fluids, e.g. dairy products, sauces, fruit juices, soups, mixed drinks, shakes. - Mixing soft ingredients, e.g. pancake batter or mayonnaise. - Pureeing cooked ingredients, e.g. for making baby food.

5 Mount the blender jar in the fixing hole by turning it in the direction of the arrow until it is firmly fixed. Do not exert too much pressure on the handle of the blender jar. 6 Put the ingredients in the blender jar.

7 Screw the lid onto the blender jar. 8 Switch the appliance on and blend the ingredients. The buttons allow you to adjust the speed of the appliance to obtain

optimal results. See the table for the recommended speed. Tips

◗ Pour liquid ingredients into the blender jar through the hole in the lid. ◗ The longer you let the appliance run, the finer the blending result will be. ◗ Hard ingredients may require soaking in water prior to processing. ◗ Pre-cut solid ingredients into smaller pieces before putting them into the blender. If you want to prepare a large quantity, process small batches of ingredients instead of trying to process a large quantity at once. ◗ If you have doubts about the right speed, always choose the highest speed (button 2). If ingredients stick to the wall of the blender jar: 1 Switch the appliance off and unplug it. 2 Remove the lid. Never remove the lid while the appliance is still running. 3 Use a spatula to remove the ingredients from the wall of the jar. Keep the spatula at a safe distance from the cutting edges of the blade unit (approx. 2 cm).ENGLISH12 Filter With this filter you will make delicious fresh fruit juices, cocktails or soy milk in next to no time. All pips and skins will remain behind in the filter. 1 Assemble the blender jar.

2 Put the filter in the assembled blender jar. Make sure that the grooves of the filter fit exactly onto the ribs inside the blender jar.

3 Put the ingredients in the filter. Pour water or another liquid (e.g. for cocktails) into the blender jar.

4 Place the lid in the sieve position. 5 Switch the appliance on. See the table for the right speed setting. If you have doubts about the right speed, select the highest speed setting. 6 Switch the appliance off and remove the blender jar from the motor unit.

7 Pour out the drink through the spout of the blender jar. Do not remove the lid! For optimal results, put the jar with the remaining ingredients back onto the appliance and let it run for a few more seconds. Pour out the rest of the drink. Tips ◗ Particularly when you are processing large quantities, we advise you not to put all the ingredients in the filter at the same time. Start processing a small quantity, let the appliance run for a moment, switch it off and then add another small quantity. Always place the lid! Repeat this procedure until you have processed all the ingredients. ◗ For fruit juices and cocktails: For the best results, add approximately 200 ml water (or other liquid for cocktails, etc.) to 100 g fruit. ◗ For making soy milk: Soak soy beans for 4 hours before processing them. You can process upto the max. level of 2/3 the metal sieve of the filter with soaked soy beans. Add 500 ml water and blend until smooth. Mill Preparing the mill for use. Never use the mill for more than 30 seconds without interruption.

The cover with insert storage space and the blender jar are not dishwasher proof! Clean the blade, the blade unit of the blender and the inserts very carefully. Their cutting edges are very sharp! Make sure that the cutting edges of the blade, the blade unit of the blender and the inserts do not come into contact with hard objects. This could cause them to become blunt. Certain ingredients may cause discolourations on the surface of the accessories. This does not have a negative effect on the accessories. The discolourations usually disappear after some time. Cleaning of filter ◗ Hold the filter over a waste bin immediately after use and gently shake out its contents and rinse it under the tap. Cleaning of mill ◗ Unplug the appliance. ◗ Detach the mill from the motor unit. ◗ Clean the beaker and the blade unit under a running tap with lukewarm water and some washing-up liquid. ◗ Be careful with the sharp edges of the blade unit! ◗ After washing up the parts, rinse them with clean water and dry them thoroughly.
