PRIOR TO FIRST USE

Place the base unit on a flat surface, e.g. a kitchen counter, and make sure it is standing firmly. Before using the multimixer for the first time, or after prolonged storage without use, wash and dry any parts that will come into contact with food.

USING THE MULTIMIXER

Multimixer parts

The base unit (4) contains a motor. You can fit different accessories onto the drive shaft of the base unit, depending on the type of food you want to prepare. The two blade units (9 and 10) are used to chop, grate, blend, mix, grind and whisk food in either the blender beaker (1), the preparation beakers (7 and 13) or the serving beakers (14). The serving beakers are ideal for preparing and serving drinks, and the practical coloured rings (15) make it more comfortable to drink from them and easy for guests to tell them apart. The preparation beakers can also be used to cook or reheat food in a microwave oven or to store leftovers in the fridge. Three storage lids (8) and two steam/shaker lids (11 and 12) are provided for this purpose. The steam/shaker lids can also be used to sprinkle grated cheese or chopped herbs over your food. The juicer (6) is for extracting juice from fresh fruit and vegetables.

Using the preparation beakers and serving beakers

• Place ingredients in the large or small preparation beaker or in one of the serving beakers.
• Screw one of the blade units onto the beaker.
• Place the beaker on the drive shaft on the base unit, so the pins on the beaker are lined up with the depressions in the base unit.
• Hold the base unit down with one hand and press down on the beaker with the other hand.

The motor runs as long as you press the beaker down. You can also get the motor to run continuously by pressing the beaker down and turning it slightly in a clockwise direction until the pins lock into place under the black edge of the base unit. Stop the motor by turning the beaker slightly in an anti-clockwise direction to release the pins. See also 'Preparation techniques' below.

Important! Always add liquid when crushing ice cubes or frozen berries.

Using the blender beaker

• Screw the blade unit with the coarse blade onto the blender beaker.
• Place the food in the blender beaker.
• Place the lid (2) on the blender beaker, and turn it in a clockwise direction until it clicks into place.
• Place the cap (3) in the hole in the blender beaker lid, so the pins on the cap fit into the holes in the lid. Turn the cap slightly in a clockwise direction until it clicks into place.
• Place the blender beaker on the drive shaft on the motor unit, so the pins on the beaker are lined up with the depressions in the base unit.
• Start the multimixer as described above.

If you want to add more ingredients as you go along, you can remove the cap from the lid by turning it anticlockwise and lifting it up. Stop the multimixer before removing the cap to avoid splashes. If you need to scrape inside or empty the blender beaker, wait until the blade has stopped completely before you remove the lid! Never use your fingers to scrape with.

Using the juicer

• Screw the blade unit with the coarse blade onto the blender beaker.
• Place the juicer into the blender beaker so that the four guide notches in the grey rim at the bottom of the juicer are lined up with the ribs on the inside of the blender beaker.
• Place the lid on the blender beaker. Please note that the lid can turn in two ways: with the open hole against the pouring spout or with the grill opening against the pouring spout. Ensure that you lock the lid into place by turning it slightly in a clockwise direction, as the lid has to hold the juicer in position inside the beaker.
• Place the blender beaker onto the base unit.
• Cut the fruit and vegetables that are to be squeezed into small pieces so they can fit through the hole in the lid.
• Press the blender beaker down and the motor will begin to run.
• To make the motor run continuously, turn the beaker slightly in a clockwise direction until it locks into place.
• Drop pieces of fruit and vegetables down through the hole in the lid, and press them down using the pusher (5).
• The squeezed juice collects in the bottom of the blender beaker.
• Remove the entire blender beaker from the base unit and pour the juice into a glass without taking the juicer out. This keeps the flesh of the fruit separate from the juice.

Important! Never leave the multimixer running for more than 1 minute at a time, as the motor can overheat. If the preparation process requires longer than this, take a short break before starting the multimixer again. You should also stop the multimixer at regular intervals to check whether the items have been processed sufficiently. If the motor overheats and stops running, unplug the multimixer and allow it cool down for several hours before using it again.

Important! If the blade gets stuck while the motor is running continuously, unplug the multimixer immediately to prevent damage to the motor. Remove the beaker fitted with the blade unit from the base unit, and shake the ingredients in the beaker thoroughly. If the blade is still stuck, unscrew the blade unit from the beaker and carefully turn the blade round using your fingers. Be careful - the blade is extremely sharp! Once you are sure the blade can go round, fit the blade unit into the beaker, place the beaker onto the base unit and try again.

Important! If the multimixer is to be used to prepare different types of food (e.g. raw meat followed by vegetables, or egg followed by fruit), you must wash the parts that come into contact with food between each type of food.

Preparation techniques

Pulse technique – If you want the food to be chopped or blended coarsely, then instead of holding the beaker down, press it down briefly and intermittently a number of times with short breaks between. Take care not to lock the beaker into position, or the motor will run continuously.

Shaking technique – If the blade is not distributing the food properly in the beaker, you can lock the beaker into position so the motor is running continuously, lift the entire multimixer up from the counter and shake it back and forth a few times so the food shifts position in the beaker. Then put the multimixer back on the counter and let it run a little longer. Be very careful when you use the shaking technique! Hold both beaker and base unit firmly to prevent them separating from each other while you are shaking them.

Shake and pulse technique – If you want the food to be chopped or blended coarsely, you can lift the entire multimixer up from the counter and give it a powerful shake downwards, concluding the movement by briefly pressing the beaker down (pulse function). This sends the food down onto the blades. Continue until the food shows the desired consistency. Be very careful when using the shake and pulse technique! Hold both beaker and base unit firmly to prevent them separating from each other while you are shaking them.

Tapping technique – If the food sticks to the inside of the beaker and is unable to reach the blade, you can take the beaker with the blade unit fitted off the base unit and tap it gently against the kitchen counter so that the food falls down onto the blade. Then return the beaker to the base unit and continue to process the food.

Important! Do not use any techniques other than the pulse technique when the blender beaker is fitted.

Selecting the right blade

The coarse blade is suitable for:

• chopping e.g. onions, garlic and carrots
• chopping and mixing ingredients for dips and salsa
• blending ice cream, ice cubes, fruit and other ingredients for drinks, smoothies and milkshakes
• mixing batter for pancakes, mixes for muffins, etc.
  • grating hard and soft cheese and chocolate
• pureeing hummus, soups, baby food, etc
  • crushing ice cubes for fruit sorbets, etc

The fine blade is suitable for:

• chopping and grinding hard items such as coffee beans, nuts, cinnamon sticks and dried fruit
• whipping cream
• mixing herb butters and sandwich spreads using cream cheese

Purpose	Accessories:	Technique and tips
Chopping onions and garlic	Small preparation beakerCoarse blade	Pulse technique – the fewer times you press, the coarser the consistency. If you want purée, let the motor run continuously instead. Remove the skin from the onion/garlic and cut it into small pieces before placing it in the beaker. Tip: Use the tapping technique if the ingredients fail to distribute themselves evenly in the beaker.
Smoothies Large preparation	beaker or serving beakerCoarse blade	Cut the ingredients into small pieces before placing them in the beaker. Add some ice cubes and a bit of liquid. Turn the beaker so the motor runs continuously and continue until all the ice is crushed. It may be necessary to add more liquid if the ingredients are unable to reach the blade.
Drinks: Serving beakers with coloured ringsCoarse blade		Place the ingredients, including ice cubes and liquids, in the beaker, and turn it so that the motor runs continuously. Continue until a smooth consistency is achieved. It may be necessary to add more liquid if the ingredients are unable to reach the blade.
Grinding coffee beans	Small preparation beakerFine blade	Use the pulse technique, or let the motor run continuously. The finer the consistency the stronger the coffee will be.
Mixing batter Large preparation beaker or blender beakerCoarse blade		Place the ingredients in the beaker and let the motor run continuously until a smooth consistency is achieved. Tip: When making blueberry muffins, for example, you can add half the berries together with the other ingredients and the rest once the batter has been mixed. This makes the batter really tasty and gives you delicious fruit pieces in the finished muffins. Do the same with chocolate chips, nuts, raisins or similar.
Chopping fresh herbs	Small preparation beakerCoarse blade	Use the pulse function until the herbs have reached the correct consistency.
Chopping spices (e.g. cinnamon sticks)	Small preparation beakerFine bladeSteam/shaker lid	Let the motor run continuously until you have a coarse powder. Put the shaker lid on and put the beaker on the table together with salt and pepper.
Mixing herb or spice butter	Small preparation beakerFine blade	Place soft butter and chopped spices or herbs in the beaker, and mix until a smooth consistency is achieved.
Grating cheese Small preparation beakerCoarse bladeSteam/shaker lid		Let the motor run continuously until the cheese is grated coarsely. Put the shaker lid on and put the beaker on the table together with salt and pepper.
Whipping cream Small preparation beakerFine blade		Let the motor run continuously until the cream reaches the right consistency.

Cooking in a microwave oven

The two preparation beakers are suitable for use in a microwave oven. Once you have chopped or blended the food in the beaker, just unscrew the blade unit and put on one of the steam lids. Then the beaker can be placed in the microwave.

Be careful when removing the beaker from the microwave after cooking, as the contents can become extremely hot, and steam is released when you remove the steam lid. For larger portions it may be necessary to mix in the ingredients as you go along.

Important! The blade units must not be used in a microwave oven, as the metal parts can cause damage to the oven. The serving beakers and airtight storage lids must not be used in a microwave oven.

Storage

Ensure that the multimixer is clean and dry before storing.

CLEANING

• Before cleaning, remove the plug from the wall socket.
• The best way to clean the exterior of the multimixer base unit is with a slightly dampened cloth and, if necessary, a little detergent. The base unit must not be immersed in any form of liquid.
• If the blade unit is not screwed on properly, liquid may seep out into the internal part of the base unit. This may also be removed using a slightly dampened cloth and a little detergent. Check that the base unit is thoroughly dry inside before you use the multimixer again after cleaning.
• The blender beaker, serving beakers, preparation beakers and all other loose parts can be washed up as usual and are dishwasher-safe.
• Inside the blade unit is a plastic sealing ring, which may become loose when the unit is put through a dishwasher. Therefore, please check that the sealing ring is still in place when you remove the blade unit from the dishwasher.
• Be careful if you wash the blade units by hand, as they are extremely sharp.
• Do not use any kind of strong or abrasive cleaning agent on the multimixer or accessories. Never use a scouring sponge or similar to clean the multimixer, as the surface may be damaged.
