Frequently Asked Questions - 3 Mix 5500 KRUPS

How to assemble the whisks or beaters on the mixer?

Make sure the speed control is set to '0'. Insert the shafts of the whisks or beaters into the designated openings and lock them. Respect the direction: the whisk or beater with a keyed design (D) must go into the larger opening. Dip the accessories into the preparation before starting to avoid splashing.

How to use the mini-chopper?

Place the blade (H2) on the bowl shaft (H1). Add food, then place the counter-cover (H3) and the lid (H4). Plug in the motor unit and press the start button (A1). Do not run for more than 10 seconds. To disassemble, remove the motor unit, then the lid, the counter-cover, and the blade by handling it by the plastic part.

What to do if the turbo does not work?

The turbo allows you to reach the maximum speed directly. If you have already reached the maximum speed with the speed control (A2), the turbo will have no additional effect. Use the turbo in low position for a temporary boost (max 30 seconds for thick doughs).

Why does my whipped cream not thicken?

The cream must be very cold: place it in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before use. Make sure the whisks are at least half immersed in the preparation. Use a suitable container and full cream with at least 30% fat content. You can also place the container in the freezer for 1 hour.

How to clean the blending foot?

Unplug the appliance and eject the blending foot. Clean it immediately after use with a sponge and dish soap. It can be placed in the dishwasher. Never immerse the appliance body in water. Dry thoroughly.

Can I chop ice or raw meat with the blending foot?

No, the blending foot is not designed for that. Do not use it with ice cubes, raw meat, dried fruits (almonds, hazelnuts, etc.). Reserve it for soups, purees, sauces and liquid preparations.

How long can I use the turbo or blending foot continuously?

For the turbo, use it only briefly, maximum 30 seconds for thick doughs. For the blending foot, recipes indicate 55 seconds with a rest time of at least 1 minute, not to be repeated more than 5 times. Avoid running empty.

What are the recommended speeds for different preparations?

Always start in position '1' to mix or knead, then increase. For heavy and thick doughs, work only on position '5'. For egg whites, use the maximum speed. Whipped cream is done first at minimum speed for 1 min 30, then maximum speed for 1 min 30.

How to eject the accessories?

First unplug the appliance. Then press the eject button (A1) to release the whisks or beaters. Before removing the accessories from the preparation, stop the appliance (position '0') to avoid splashing.

Where to find spare parts or have the appliance repaired?

Contact an authorized KRUPS service center. The list of centers is in the service booklet provided with the appliance. Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself.

USING YOUR APPLIANCE

  However we recommend that you use it only for a brief period of time (a maximum of 30 sec. for a heavy dough).
  Before removing the accessories, please switch off the appliance (this will avoid splashing). Set the speed selector (A2) to position "0" - fig. 7.

Mixer function with beaters B or kneaders C:

■ Depending on the amount to be prepared, place the ingredients in a suitable container (preferably a shallow bowl or cup).
- Set the speed selector (A2) to position "0" - fig. 1.
■ Insert the stems of the whisks (B) or mixers (C) in the holes provided and lock them.

■ Lift the panel at the back of the appliance and screw the blender shaft (E) anti-clockwise without forcing it until you hear a click (fig.8). If you feel resistance when screwing in, this means that the shaft is not correctly aligned. You should remove it completely and screw it in again correctly.
