damaged.
• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables
to be replaced at once by qualified technicians
or our Customer Service Department.
• Always remove the plug from the power socket
after use. Switching off the appliance is not suffi-
cient because the appliance receives power as
long as the power plug is connected to the socket.
• Check to ensure that the appliance is in a service-
able condition before taking it into use. The ap-
pliance may not be used if there is recognisable
damage on it, especially to the motor block and
the glass mixing jug.

Operation
 Warning!
The motor switches itself off as soon as the mixing
jug eis removed from the motor block u. It could
then be overlooked that the appliance is still swit-
ched on. The motor will thus start of its own accord
as soon as the mixing jug eis replaced on it:
Therefore:
• First insert the power plug into the wall socket
when the mixer jug eis filled and mounted with
its lid fitted and closed.
• Before mounting the mixing jug always check to
see that the appliance is switched off or that the
power plug has been removed.
• Before removing the mixer jug e, switch the ap-
pliance off, remove the power plug and wait for
the motor to stop revolving.
Filling and mounting the mixer jug
³Only fill the mixer jug ewhen it is removed
from the motor unit.
³Afterwards, firmly press the lid wonto the mixer
jug e. Ensure that the pourer on the mixer jug
eis also securely closed.
³Insert the filling cap qinto the lid opening and
secure it by turning it clockwise.
³Place the ready filled and sealed mixer jug e
onto the motor block u. Lightly turn the mixer
jug euntil you can press it down. The motor
can start only when the mixer jug eis securely
positioned.
Selecting operating speeds
When the mixer jug eis filled, completely sealed
and securely fitted to the motor block u, you can
then switch the appliance on.
³Place the switch ton ...
–Level 1-3
for fluid or soft foodstuffs, for mixing, blending
and stirring
–Level 3-5
for firmer foodstuffs or for hacking
–Level Ice Crush/Clean
for a short, powerful impulse operation, e.g. for
crushing ice cubes or for cleaning. To avoid
overburdening the motor the switch tdoes not
lock into this position. Therefore, hold the switch
tin this position for a short period.
Filling when in use
 Warning!
Should you wish to insert further foodstuffs during
operation, you may ONLY open the filling cap q
provided for this purpose.
• Under no circumstance should you open the lid
w. Pieces of the foodstuff could be thrown out at
high speeds!
• Do not insert cutlery items or mixing tools into
the mixing jug ewhen the appliance is in use.
There is a considerable risk of injury should these
make contact with the swiftly rotating cutters r!
To insert something when the appliance is in
operation, ...
³turn the filling cap qanti-clockwise and remo-
ve it.
³Afterwards, replace the filling cap qinto the
lid and secure it by turning it clockwise.

Removing the mixer
When the processing of the foodstuffs is complete:
³Always first place the switch tinto the OFF
position ("0") and remove the power plug.
³Wait until the motor has come to a complete
standstill before lifting the mixer jug estraight
up. It does not need to be turned.
Useful tips
– The best results when blending firm ingredients
are achieved by placing small portions one after
the other into the mixer jug einstead of inser-
ting a single large portion.
– When processing firm ingredients, cut them into
small pieces (2-3 cm).
– When mixing liquid ingredients begin first of all
with a small measure of fluids. Gradually add
more fluids to the mixture through the filling cap.
– The appliance can be stabilised by placing your
hand on top of the closed liquidiser during opera-
tion.
– For the stirring of firm or very viscous foodstuffs
it can be beneficial to use the impulse-operation,
which helps avoid a blocking of the cutters r.
Cleaning
 Caution!
Before starting to clean the liquidiser and its
components:
• Ensure that the motor is switched off and the
power plug removed from the socket.
Under no circumstance may the motor block
ube submersed in water or other fluids.This
could result in you receiving a fatal electric
shock and the appliance could be damaged.
• Never open the housing of the appliance. This
brings with it the risk of receiving a fatal electric
shock.
• Never disassemble the cutters rand never re-
ach into the mixer jug e. The cutters rare ex-
tremely sharp!
• Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners on the
plastic surfaces, they could be damaged by them.
Cleaning the mixer
³So that you do not injure yourself on the cutters
r, clean the mixer jug eonly with a long
handled dishwasher brush.
³In a case of stubborn soiling, the mixer jug e
can also be cleaned in a dishwasher. For this,
always take the mixing jug eapart, as
described later.
³Clean the lid wand the filling cap qin a dish-
washer or with the normal washing up.
If you clean the liquidiser directly after use, you can
often achieve a satisfactory and hygienic level of
cleaning with the following alternative:
³Fill the mixer jug ewith water, close the lid w
and place the mixer jug eon the motor block
u.
Insert the power plug into the wall socket and
activate the Ice Crush/Clean switch, causing the
cutters rto rotate in the water with maximum
revolutions.

Should this not dislodge the soiling, you can separate
the lower plastic part of the mixer jug e(with the cut-
ters r) from the the glass part:
³Remove the mixer jug efrom the motor block
u.
³Turn the plastic part of the mixer jug eso
that it separates itself from the glass part .
 Attention!
Take care with the cutters . They are very sharp.
Risk of injury!
³Clean both parts thoroughly in a mild soapy
solution or in a dishwasher.
³Replace the plastic part of the mixer jug e
back onto the glass part . Ensure that the sea-
ling ring is correctly fitted.


Cleaning the motor block
³Use a dry cloth or, at the most, a lightly moistened
one for cleaning the plastic surfaces.
³At every cleaning check that the contact switch
in the receptor for the mixer jug eis not blok-
ked by soiling residues. If you cannot dislodge
any blockages with the corner of a piece of pa-
per, make contact with Customer Services. Un-
der no circumstances should you use a hard ob-
ject, this could damage the contact switch.
³Remove any possible residues on the underside
of the motor block uonly with a dry cloth or a
stiff bristled brush. Ensure that nothing can enter
through the ventilation opening of the appliance.
After cleaning
Allow all parts to dry well before re-assembling and
re-using the liquidiser.
Storage
³If you do not intend to use the liquidiser for an
extended period, clean it thoroughly (see chapter
"Cleaning").
³Wrap the power cable yaround the cable sto-
rage ion the base of the motor block u.
³Store the liquidiser at a cool and dry location.
