PRIOR TO FIRST USE
●Please check that all components are included
●Please read all safety instructions
●Before using the Compact Bullet Blender/Mixer System for the
first time, or after prolonged storage without use, wash and dry
any parts that will come into contact with food
●Place the base unit on a flat surface, e g a kitchen counter, and
make sure it is standing firmly
Using The Compact Bullet Blender/Mixer System.
Mixer 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 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
3

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
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 unit 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 mixer 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 mixer 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

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
mportant! Never leave the mixer 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
mixer again
You should also stop the mixer at regular intervals to check whether
the items have been processed sufficiently
If the motor overheats and stops running, unplug the mixer and
allow it cool down for several hours before using it again
mportant! If the blade gets stuck while the motor is running
continuously, unplug the mixer 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

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 beaker, you can lock the beaker into position so the motor is
running continuously, lift the entire mixer up from the counter and
shake it back and forth a few times so the food shifts position in the
beaker Then put the mixer 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 mixer 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

mportant! If the blade gets stuck while the motor is running
continuously, unplug the mixer 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
mportant! If the mixer is to be used to prepare different types of
the 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
Selecting the right blade

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
mportant! 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 mixer 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 mixer 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 mixer
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
mixer or accessories Never use a scouring sponge or similar to
clean the mixer, as the surface may be damaged
