© Note

Before using the appliance for the first time, clean it thoroughly as per the instructions given in the chapter "Cleaning".

Place the bowl ⑥ in the appliance base ⑨.
→ Place the blade holder ⑤ with the knife ⑦ on the mounting ⑧.
→Prepare the items to be processed by cutting large pieces to a size that will fit in the bowl ⑥.
→Place the food to be processed in the bowl ⑥. Thereby, take note of the following table:

Foodstuff	Filling quantity	Processing time	SPEED
Salami 13	0 g 2 x 5	secs. Normal
Cheese (Gouda, young, refrigerator temperature)	120 g	2 x 8 secs. Turbo
Onions Garlic	100 g	pulsating Turbo
Carrots 10	0 g 3 x 5	secs. Normal
Dried fruit 1	30 g 2 x	8 secs. Normal
Almonds 150 g		coarse: 1 x 10 secs. middle: 2 x 10 secs. fine: 3 x 10 secs.	Turbo
Eggs (hard boiled)	150 g	2 x 4 secs. Turbo
Walnuts 100 g 2 x 8 secs. Turbo
Ice cubes 100 g pulsating Turbo

→ Close the bowl ⑥ with the lid ④: Place it on the bowl ⑥ so that the lugs on the lid ④ engage in the slots on the bowl ⑥. Then turn the lid ④ so that the lugs slide unter the slots and the lid ④ locks into place.
Place the motor block ② on the lid collar ③.
→Press the motor block ② downwards, as shown in Figure B. The motor starts with the normal operating speed.
To make use of the higher processing speed "Turbo", press, in addition to the motor block ②, the turbo button ① and keep it pressed down, as shown in Figure C.

Note

Should larger pieces of the contents collect on the wall of the bowl while processing, lift the motor block ② from the lid collar ③. Shake the bowl ⑥ vigorously and then continue with the processing. Hard foodstuffs in particular, such as block chocolate, must be broken into small pieces (approx. 2 cm) before their processing. Otherwise, the motor could block. With hard foodstuffs select a pulsating processing. For this, press the turbo button ① repeatedly for a short time (in addition to the motor block ②). Should the foodstuff not be completely pulverised, you can either cut it into smaller pieces or lift the motor block ② from the lid collar ③. Shake the bowl ⑥ vigorously and then continue with the processing.

When the contents have been sufficiently chopped, release the motor block ② and, if necessary, the turbo button ①.
→Unplug the power cable from the socket.

⚠️ Risk of personal injury!

Never attempt to remove food from the bowl ⑥ when the blade ⑦ is still in motion. Contents could shoot out and make a mess.

→ Wait until the blade ⑦ has stopped rotating.
→ Lift the motor block ② from the lid collar ③.
Remove the lid 4.

⚠️ Risk of personal injury!

To avoid injuries, exercise caution when handling the extremely sharp blade ⑦. Keep the blade ⑦ out of the reach of children.

→ Carefully pull the blade holder ⑤ with the knife ⑦ out of the bowl ⑥.
→Remove the contents.

i Note

Due to the grinding of hard and abrasive foodstuffs, the bowl ⑥ can take on a dull appearance over time. This is normal and does not influence the functioning of the appliance.

① Tip

After you have finished processing the foodstuffs, you can use the appliance base ⑨ as a cover for the bowl ⑥, this will help to keep the foodstuff fresh for longer.

Remove the motor block ② and the lid ④ from the bowl ⑥.

The blade retainer ⑤ with the blade ⑦ can, if you wish, remain in the bowl ⑥.

→Loosen the appliance base ⑨ from the underside of the bowl ⑥. You can now place appliance base ⑨ on the bowl ⑥ so that it seals the bowl ⑥.
