1. Always place the motor unit on a dry, even, and fi rm base. You may wish to place a

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 fl at-blade attachment onto the beaker (see the "Accessories" chapter, "Cross-blade and fl 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 fl at-blade attachment onto the mixing container (see the "Accessories" chapter, "Cross-blade and fl 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, fi 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 fi 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 off 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.EN 22 Recipe ideas Banana fl ip In this recipe, the well-known "banana milk" is spiced up with egg yolk and ice to make the "fl ip".
