Safety information

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

• Connect the appliance only to a correctly installed power socket supplying a mains power voltage of 220 - 240 V \~ at 50 Hz.
• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be replaced as soon as possible by a qualified technician or by our Customer Service Department to avoid the risk of injury.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

In event of malfunctions and before cleaning the appliance, remove the plug from the mains power socket.
▶ Always remove the power cable from the socket by pulling on the plug, not on the power cable itself.
- Do not kink or crush the power cable, and route the cable so that it cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
- Do not expose the appliance to humidity and do not use it outdoors. If liquid gets into the housing, disconnect the appliance from the mains power socket immediately and have it repaired by a qualified technician.
▶ Never hold the appliance, power cable or power plug with wet hands.
If the power cable or the motor unit are damaged, you must have the appliance repaired by qualified technicians before using it again. Do not attempt to open the motor unit housing. This can lead to risks and also invalidates the warranty.
▶ Disconnect the appliance from the mains power source immediately after use. The appliance is completely free of electrical power only when unplugged.

Operation

Chopping

NOTE

▶ Before first use, you must clean the appliance thoroughly as described in the section on cleaning.

1) Place the bowl ⑧ on the base ⑩.
2) Insert the blade holder ⑤ with the blade ⑦ onto the bearing ⑨.
3) Prepare the food by chopping larger pieces into smaller chunks (approx. 2 cm) that will fit better into the bowl ⑧.

4) Place the food into the bowl ⑧ as described in the following table:

Food Fill level Processing time Speed
Salami 130 g 3 x 5 sec. II
Cheese (Gouda, young, fridge temperature)	100 g 4 x 15 sec. II
Onions 100 g pulse I
Garlic 100 g pulse II
Carrots 100 g 3 x 5 sec.	I
Almonds	200 g	coarse: 1 x 15 sec. medium: 2 x 15 sec. fine: 3 x 15 sec.	II
Eggs (hard-boiled)	150 g 2 x 4 sec. II
Walnuts	50 g	2 x 8 sec. II
Ice cubes	100 g	15 x 1 sec. pulse	II

5) Close the bowl ⑧ with the connecting piece ④:

- Place it onto the bowl ⑧ so that the tabs on the outer rim of the connecting piece ④ grip into the catches on the bowl ⑧ (see figure 1).

- Then, turn the connecting piece 4 so that the tabs slide down into the catches and engage.

Fig. 1

6) Place the motor unit ① onto the connecting piece ④. Make sure that the tabs on the inner edge of the connecting piece ④ grip into the recesses on the motor unit ① and that the motor unit ① sits firmly in place.

7) Depending on the type of food you want to chop, press speed button I ② or speed button II ③.

NOTES

If larger pieces of food start collecting on the wall of the bowl during processing, lift the motor unit ① off the connecting piece ④. Give the bowl ⑧ a firm shake and restart the processing. Any residues can be removed with a spatula.
▶ Particularly hard foods should be cut into small pieces (approx. 2 cm) before processing. Otherwise, the motor unit could block.
Use a 'pulsing' processing method when working with hard foods. To do this, press the relevant speed button ②/③ several times briefly in succession.
If the food is not completely chopped, you can either cut it into smaller pieces or lift the motor unit ① off the connecting piece ④. Give the bowl ⑧ a firm shake and restart the processing.

8) Once the food is fully chopped, release the speed button ②/③.

9) Remove the power plug from the socket.

⚠ WARNING! - RISK OF INJURY!

▶ Never attempt to remove food from the bowl ⑧ while the blade ⑦ is still turning. There is a risk of injury and food can also spray out and make a mess.

10) Wait until the blade ⑦ has come to a complete standstill.

11) Lift the motor unit ① off the connecting piece ④.

12) Remove the connecting piece ④.

⚠ WARNING! - RISK OF INJURY!

▶ Handle the extremely sharp blade ⑦ with caution as it can cause injuries. Keep the blade ⑦ out of the reach of children.

13) Carefully pull the blade holder ⑤ with the blade ⑦ out of the bowl ⑧.

14) Remove the food.

NOTES

▶ Chopping harder, abrasive foods can cause the bowl ⑧ to take on a dull appearance after a while. This is normal and will not impair the functioning of the appliance.

▶ After you have finished processing the food, you can use the base ⑩ as a lid for the bowl ⑧ to keep the food fresh for longer.

- Remove the motor unit ① and the connecting piece ④ from the bowl ⑧.

- You can leave the blade holder ⑤ with the blade ⑦ in the bowl ⑧ if you wish.

- Remove the base 10 from the underside of the bowl 8. Turn the base 10 around. You can now place the base 10 on the bowl 8 so that it closes off the bowl 8.

Whipping cream

You can also use the appliance to whip cream with the help of the emulsifying disc ⑥:

1) Place the bowl ⑧ on the base ⑩.
2) Push the emulsifying disc ⑥ onto the blade holder ⑤:

- To whip 100 ml of cream, place the emulsifying disc ⑥ onto the blade holder ⑤ so that it lies against both blades ⑦ and clicks into place (fig. 2):

- To whip 200 ml of cream, turn the emulsifying disc ⑥ horizontally by 180° (fig. 3), so that it is in contact with only one blade ⑦ and clicks into place (fig. 4). The emulsifying disc ⑥ then churns higher through the cream.

3) Insert the blade holder ⑤ with the emulsifying disc ⑥ onto the bearing ⑨.

4) Add the cream.

5) Close the bowl ⑧ with the connecting piece ④:

- Place it onto the bowl ⑧ so that the tabs on the outer rim of the connecting piece ④ grip into the catches on the bowl ⑧ (see figure 1).

- Then turn the connecting piece 4 so that the tabs slide down into the catches.

6) Place the motor unit ① onto the connecting piece ④. Make sure that the tabs on the inner edge of the connecting piece ④ grip into the recesses on the motor unit ① and that the motor unit ① sits firmly in place.

7) Press the speed button I ②.

NOTE

▶ To whip cream, you should make sure that it is well chilled before whipping (max. 8^ C/fridge temperature).
For 100 ml of cream, we recommend a whipping time of around 30 seconds at normal speed.
For 200 ml of cream, we recommend a whipping time of around 30 - 50 seconds at normal speed.
The whipping time can vary depending on certain factors, e.g. fat content or the ambient temperature. Keep an eye on the cream while you are whipping it and adjust the whipping time to fit your needs.

Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING! - RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

▶ Always remove the plug from the mains power socket before cleaning the appliance.

You must never immerse the appliance in water when cleaning it or hold it under running water.

WARNING! - RISK OF INJURY!

▶ Handle the extremely sharp blade ⑦ with caution as it can cause injuries. Reassemble the appliance after using and/or cleaning it so that you do not injure yourself with the exposed blade ⑦. Keep the blade ⑦ out of the reach of children.

CAUTION - PROPERTY DAMAGE!

Do not clean the motor unit ① in the dishwasher as this will damage it.

■ Remove the power plug from the socket.

Wipe the motor unit ① with a moist cloth. If necessary, apply a mild washing-up liquid to the cloth. Wipe off any washing-up liquid residues. Make sure the mains adapter ① has completely dried off before the next use.
Clean the bowl ⑧, the emulsifying disc ⑥, the blade holder ⑤ with blade ⑦, the connecting piece ④ and the base ⑩ in warm water with a little mild washing-up liquid. Rinse all the parts afterwards using fresh water and dry them with a tea towel.

Alternatively, you can clean all of the parts apart from the motor unit ① in the dishwasher. If possible, place the parts in the top basket of the dishwasher. Ensure that the parts cannot become jammed in any way.
