Getting Started
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the bowl, splash
guard lid, whisking disc and chopping blade in a mild soap solution
or in the dishwasher. Grip the bowl using the handles only, do not
attempt to lift it by the guide pin at the bottom of the bowl.
Instructions
1Place the anti-slip mat on an even, stable work surface.
2Place the bowl on the anti-slip mat.
3Place the chopping blade on the guide pin you see at the centre
of the bowls bottom and make sure that it rotates easily.
4Put the prepared ingredients into the bowl (please see page 11
for a guide on how to properly prepare ingredients).
5Place the splash guard lid on the bowl so that the spaces on the
edge of the lid are precisely above the bowl handles.
6Press the lid gently downwards until it sits firmly on the bowl.
7Place the motor unit in the lid recess so that both side lugs slide
into the proper spaces in the lid and the star-shaped chopper
blade bracket clicks into place in the bracket under the motor
unit.
You can turn the motor unit slightly from side to side to make it
easier to click into place.
Please note that the appliance cannot be switched on if the motor
unit has not been properly attached.
12
Chopping
When the bowl has been filled and the lid placed on top, insert
the plug in the mains socket.
Hold the bowl firmly with one hand and press the upper part of
the motor unit gently downwards. The blade starts to rotate and
chops up the food.
Note
For best results, work in pulses. Operating for longer
periods will chop the food too smaller pieces.
Caution!
After 10 seconds, stop the appliance for one minute, to
prevent damage from overheating.
If pieces of food remain stuck to the inside of the bowl (e.g. in the
case of herbs or other moist foods), remove them with a flat
stirrer or spatula, spread them around the bowl and also chop
them up with two or three pulses.
When the food has been chopped small enough, wait until the
blade stops. Unplug the appliance from the mains.
Detach the motor unit and carefully remove the blade. Then you
can take out the chopped ingredients.
13
Milk shakes
Place the whisking disc on the guide pin and make sure that it
rotates easily.
Fill the bowl with a maximum of 150 ml milk and 2 tbsp fruit
syrup, such as raspberry or strawberry syrup.
Place the splash guard lid on the bowl so that the spaces on the
edge of the lid are precisely above the bowl handles.
Press the lid gently downwards until it sits firmly on the bowl.
Place the motor unit in the lid recess so that both side lugs slide
into the proper spaces in the lid and the star-shaped whisking
disc bracket clicks into place in the bracket under the motor unit.
Plug into the mains.
Hold the bowl firmly with one hand and press the upper part of
the motor unit gently downwards, pulsing briefly two or three
times.
The whisking disc blade starts to rotate and whisks the food.
When the food has been beaten enough, wait until the whisking
disc stops. Unplug the appliance from the mains.
Detach the motor unit and carefully remove the whisking disc.
Then you can take out the mixed ingredients.
