Tips and operating techniques
We recommend using the lid to add the
ingredients through the special spout,
thus avoiding any splashes from liquid
mixtures.
Always insert and remove the lid with the
motor head in working position (D).
• To determine the ideal duration of each
preparation, monitor the mixture and keep
mixing only until it looks just like in your
recipe.
• We recommend adding the ingredients as
close as possible to the bowl side and not
directly into the moving utensil. Always use
the inlet on the splash-guard spout
• Solid ingredients such as walnuts, raisins or
candied fruit are usually added during the
last seconds of mixing at speed 1.
• The mixture should be thick enough to
prevent such ingredients from sinking to
the bottom of the saucepan while you are
cooking.
• Mixtures comprising large quantities of liquid
ingredients should be blended at low speeds
to avoid splashes. Increase the speed only
after the mixture has thickened.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Danger of injuries: disconnect the
appliance before you touch the whisks/
beaters or other attachments. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in fractures, cuts or
bruises.
• Clean the outside of the machine with a soft
damp cloth.
• Remove any utensils before cleaning the
machine.
• Washtheatbeater,doughhookandsteel
bowl using warm water and detergent. Rinse
and dry thoroughly.
Handwash the wire whisk.
• Utensils and bowls should be washed
as soon as possible after use to prevent
any food from drying up on the surface.
Do not use abrasive detergents or wire
wool to clean the machine.
