Never introduce very hard foods (e.g. hard chocolate), ice or frozen foods when using shredding or slicing attachments. TIPS

• Use the shredding side for carrots, potatoes and foods of a similar texture.

• Use the slicing side for food items such as carrots, potatoes, cabbages, cucumbers, courgettes and onions.

• Use fresh ingredients.

• Do not cut food too small. Fill the feed tube uniformly. This prevents the food from pouring out during processing. STORAGE SYSTEM (F) When not in use, the detachable stem, whisk and motor unit can be stored on the bowl lid. When placing the discs inside the bowl for storage, make sure the cutting edges do not scratch the bowl walls. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Unplug the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.

1. Wash the blender attachments and lids

under running water without any abrasive cleaners or detergents. After cleaning, place them upright so that any water that may have got in can drain out. Do not immerse the blender and lids in water, as the lubrication on the bearings may be washed away over time.

2. Wash the containers and whisk in warm

soapy water. All removable parts can be washed in warm soapy water and then carefully rinsed and dried. If necessary, use a nylon-bristle brush to complete the cup cleaning operation.

3. Wipe the motor unit with a damp cloth. Never

immerse it in water for cleaning purposes, as electric shocks may occur.

4. The non-slip base on the bottom of the bowl

can be removed and cleaned. Make sure it is re-placed correctly before using it again.

5. Dry all detachable parts thoroughly.

Blades are very sharp: handle with care. TIP For quick cleaning between processing tasks, ll the cup or bowl with water halfway, assemble the hand-held blender according to the description in the operation section and start the blending / chopping function for a few seconds.

ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsor- ted municipal waste stream.
