Accessories

Cross-blade and fl at-blade attachment

PLEASE NOTE!

The blades are sharp! Be careful when handling the cross-blade and flat-blade attachment in order to prevent any cut injuries.

The cross-blade attachment (A) is suitable for mincing and chopping up foodstuffs such as apples, nuts, onions, herbs and for stirring and mixing drinks such as milkshakes.

The flat-blade attachment (B) is suitable for whipping and stirring cream or moussees and for grinding hard foodstuffs such as Parmesan cheese or coffee beans.

• The blade attachments are dishwasher-safe.
• A sealing ring is located in the attachments. This ring ensures that the beaker or mixing container does not leak during preparation. After each cleaning operation and prior to every use, check whether the sealing ring is still in the correct position.

Beakers and keep-fresh lids

PLEASE NOTE!

It is essential that you store the prepared food in the fridge. Do not eat any food that has gone off and only use fresh ingredients that have not yet passed the best-before date.

The beakers are suitable for smaller portions (small beaker: 350 ml; large beaker: 500 ml). For storage purposes, you can seal the beaker shut with a keep-fresh lid after you have finished preparation.

• The beakers and keep-fresh lids are dishwasher-safe.
• A sealing ring is located in the keep-fresh lids. This ring ensures that a beaker can be sealed airtight and does not leak. After each cleaning operation and prior to every use, check whether the sealing ring is still in the correct position.

Sprinkle lids

The sprinkle lids are suitable for sprinkling ground ingredients such as Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, cinnamon or nuts.

The sprinkle lids are dishwasher-safe.

Mixing container

PLEASE NOTE!

- Never reach into the mixing container when the device is switched on and keep hair and clothing away from it! Use the enclosed plunger to feed in ingredients.

The mixing container is suitable for large portions (up to 750~ml ). You can use it for example to prepare milkshakes, fruit juices and vegetable juices or iced coffee.

• The lid has two parts. To add ingredients, the insert in the middle of the lid can be removed.
• The lid has two pour openings in different sizes. Place the pour opening you want on the right next to the pouring spout and turn the lid clockwise to tighten it.
• The bottom of the mixing container can be unscrewed (this bottom cap can also be used as a keep-fresh lid if necessary). A sealing ring is located in the bottom cap. This ring ensures that the mixing container does not leak. After each cleaning operation, check whether the sealing ring is still in the correct position.

Sieve insert and plunger

Do not force ingredients into the mixing container.

The sieve insert and plunger turn the mixing container into a juicer: The sieve insert filters out all solid elements such as pips and stems from the juice. You can use the plunger to feed in more ingredients during preparation.
