ASSEMBLING THE PARTS

Cap: it must always be ﬁtted into the lid except when

stated otherwise in the recipe� Turn it in a clockwise

direction to secure�

The cap can become very hot in the cooking mode.

Make sure you hold it by the central black plastic part.

Temperature sensor

Induction hot plate

Watertight lid seal: always make sure it is correctly

slotted into the rim of the lid�

Assembly

Begin by attaching the blade (see p�15)�

Next, lock the bowl into position, followed by the lid (with its

watertight seal), then the cap� The appliance will only work

if the bowl and lid are correctly locked into position�

Simply follow these steps in reverse order to take them

apart�

14

Make sure you regularly check the seal for damage. If it is damaged or leaks, it must

be replaced immediately.

BLADE ASSEMBLY

Blade

See p� 14

15

Removing the blade assembly

Attaching the blade assembly

Turn the bowl upside down

and use the cap as indicated

in image above� Ensure you

place a soft protection on

your worktop as once the

blade is loose it will fall out

of the bowl�

Whenever you use the metal bowl, always check that the seal is properly ﬁtted and

the screw has been tightened.

Danger of burns from hot food splashes:

Always insert the cap in the lid (unless stated otherwise in the recipe), especially

when you are blending hot ingredients above Speed 7.

If you are making soup and need to add ingredients via the lid opening:

Always press STOP, then add the ingredients, put the cap back, and press AUTO to

resume the programme.

Always hold the cap by the central plastic part.

Never ﬁll the bowl above the max. mark:

0.5 l for steaming, 2.5 l for other preparations.

Never exceed the maximum amounts (p.13).

Put the seal back on the blade�

The seal has two straight sides

to help you position it correctly�

Turn the cap in a clockwise

direction to release the blade�

Slot the base of the blade

assembly into the hole at the

bottom of the bowl� Turn the

bowl upside down, ensuring

you are securely and safely

hold the blade in place�

Holding the universal blade

assembly by the top, remove

the seal for cleaning�

Position the screw on the

underside of the bowl and

tighten with the cap by

turning in an anti-clockwise

direction�

EGG WHISK

Always check that the egg whisk is correctly slotted onto the blade assembly before

starting a programme, to avoid damaging the attachment.

Never go beyond Speed 7 or 80 °C to avoid damaging the egg whisk.

Never add ingredients that might prevent the whisk from turning properly.

Slot the egg whisk onto the

universal blade�

TIPS AND ADVICE

Beaten egg whites

• Your bowl must be clean and dry� It only takes a tiny amount of fat /grease to prevent

the egg whites from expanding�

• To create more volume, make sure your eggs are at room temperature and add a pinch

of salt�

• Always remove the cap beforehand, otherwise your egg whites will not have enough

air in them�

• The WHISK programme is intended to produce very frothy egg whites, so for a closer

texture (e�g� for meringues), you can increase the speed to 7�

Whipped cream

• Always use full-fat whipping cream�

• Refrigerate the cream and the whisk for at least 30 min�

• You can chill the bowl by placing a few ice cubes inside, running the CRUSH programme,

then empty and thoroughly dry the bowl�

• Pour the cream and icing sugar into the bowl, remove the stopper from the lid and run

the EXPERT programme for 2½ minutes at Speed 7 (no heat)� Depending on the sort

of cream you use and its temperature, you may need to run the programme again for

a few minutes, keeping a careful eye on the cream to make sure it does not turn into

butter� The cream is whipped when the whisk leaves a trail�

Other uses

• To make a sorbet even lighter, at the end of the FROZEN DESSERT programme, ﬁt the

egg whisk and run the EXPERT programme for 30 seconds at Speed 6�

• For some recipes, you may need to heat the mixture as you whisk it (e�g� Swiss meringue),

in which case you will have to switch to EXPERT mode� Always follow the recipes in the

book to avoid any damage to your product�

Add the ingredients, close the

lid and remove the cap before

starting the programme�

Press both buttons at once to

release the egg whisk� The

whisk can be fully dismantled

for thorough cleaning�

16

STEAM

17

Pour 0�5 litre of water into the

bowl (up to the level)�

Select the Steaming submenu�

Press AUTO to start the

programme�

Fit the steamer basket�

Use the spatula handle to

remove the steam tray�

If needed, add the steam tray

to create a second level�

Lift the basket out with a cloth

or oven glove�

Risk of burns. Stay away from the steam and handle the parts (bowl, lid, etc.) with

caution. Never use the steam tray without the steamer basket.

TIPS AND ADVICE

• If the bowl has no more water in it, a warning signal rings�

• To avoid ingredients (e�g� ﬁsh) sticking, grease the bottom of the steamer basket

beforehand�

• To steam ﬁsh, we recommend reducing the temperature to 100 °C, to preserve its delicate

consistency and ﬂavour�

• You can directly steam frozen ﬁsh by extending the cooking time by 40 - 50%� However,

in terms of appearance and ﬂavour, it is best to defrost the ﬁsh ﬁrst�

• Add herbs, spices or a stock cube to the water (0�5 l) to add a delicate ﬂavour to the

ingredients as they cook�

• Your food will cook better if you avoid overloading the basket and/or tray so that the

steam can circulate freely (do not block all the holes)� Cut all the ingredients at the same

size to ensure consistent results�

• If you are using the tray, place the ingredients that require the longest cooking time in

the basket below�

• Do not put more than 0�5L of water, especially if you are steaming ﬁsh as certain types

of ﬁsh cause the water to foam�

Steam

Cook

STEAM

These cooking times are provided for a given amount, with water at room temperature (about

20°C), and may vary according to the thickness, freshness and nature of your ingredients�

(E�g� It takes less time to steam a new carrot than it does a winter carrot of the same size)�

Check the cooking progress intermittently and adjust cooking times accordingly�
