For space-saving purposes, the appliance comes
packed with the jug positioned in a non-operational
position.
To remove the jug from the central unit:
Take it by the handle, turn it clockwise until it stops,
and lift upwards (Figure 2).
Measuring jug
(Figure 3)
The measuring jug is used:
1. To measure the quantity of the different ingre-
dients. Contains measurement levels. Maximum ca-
pacity when lled to the rim is 100ml.
2. To prevent splashes.
3. To prevent heat loss during cooking (Figure 4).
You can add liquid to the jug with the measuring cup
positioned on the lid.
Jug lid
(Figure 5)
The lid is used to close the jug and activate the safety
sensors. It has a slot in the front which engages the
jug spout and a perforated ap at the back which ts
into and attaches to the handle slot.
There is a hole through which food can be added,
and the spatula is used to stir or to attach the mea-
suring jug. The silicone gasket prevents liquids from
overowing into the space between the jug and lid
(Figure 6).
When mounting the gasket, ensure that the thick side
is in contact with the lid.
CAUTION.
Never use the lid without rst ensuring that the
gasket is properly tted. (Figures 6 and 7).

CAUTION.
Never open the jug lid when the appliance is
running to prevent the risk of overowing and
/ or burns. Before opening the jug lid, stop the
Mycook and wait a few seconds until the blades
have come to a complete stop.
This thick side of the gasket must be assembled
in contact with the lid.
The jug
(Figure 8)
The jug has a maximum capacity of 2 litres. Contains
1 litre, 1.5 litre and 2 litre measurement levels in the
interior.
To remove lid from the jug:
Slide the handle tab downwards, pulling it to remove
it once the lid becomes detached.
(Figure 9).
To t the lid on the jug:
Insert the back ap into the handle slot (Figure 10),
lower the front part and push the lid in the direction
indicated by the arrow until you hear a click (Figure
11), indicating that it has properly locked.
To attach the jug:
Take the jug and turn it anti-clockwise until the arrow
on the jug base lines up with the central unit lock.
(Figure 12).
To detach the jug:
Take the jug by the handle and turn it clockwise until it
stops (with the two arrows lined up) and lift it upwards
(Figure 13).

CAUTION.
For safety reasons, the lid of the jug cannot be re-
moved or tted when secured in the central unit.
Do not use force as this could damage part of the
safety element.
The jug must be rst removed from the central
unit by turning it clockwise until it stops, with
the jug base arrow lined up with the central unit
arrow, prior to removing or tting the lid. (Figure
13).
Never activate the heating function when the jug
is empty.
Jug stand with attachment clamp
(Figure 14)
The stand is used to:
1. Fit the blades into the jug.
2. Secure the jug to the central unit:
3. Support the jug on any surface when it is hot to
prevent burns of any type. (Figure 15).
Blades
(Figure 16)
The blades contain two lateral pivots embedded in
the stand which are used to line them up and secure
them properly with the jug.
To remove the blades from the jug:
1. Turn the attachment clamp 180 º into the open
position and pull it from the jug stand, as indicated
by the arrows. (Figures 17 and 18).
2. Remove the blades from the jug, being careful not
to cut yourself (Figure 19).

not to cut yourself (Figure 19).
2. Turn the jug, securing the blades in the tting with
your hand (Figure 20).
3. Fit the jug stand (with attachment clamp in the
open position) onto the blade and the three pivots of
the jug base (Figure 21).
4. Turn the clamp 180º to a closed position, ensuring
that it is fully locked (Figure 22).
CAUTION.
The blade ange must be properly tted at all ti-
mes. Take special care when handling the blades
as they are very sharp.
NEVER IMMERSE THE BLADES IN WATER OR
WASH THEM IN THE DISHWASHER AS THE IN-
TERNAL MECHANISM MAY BECOME DAMAGED
IF ANY WATER WERE TO GET INSIDE.
Spatula
(Figure 23)
The spatula is used to remove food, to prevent it stic-
king to the sides of the jug and to help to empty the
jug.

CAUTION.
Never insert the spatula through the centre hole
of the lid, if you are using the mixing paddle that
comes with the blades. (Figure 24).
Never use any utensil other than the spatula as
this could be dangerous. (Figure 25).
Mixing paddle
(Figure 26)
The mixing paddle is used to:
1. Beat cream, egg whites, etc.
2. Stir food without shredding.
3. Prevent food from sticking to the jug when working
in hot mode.
How to t the mixing paddle:
It is tted into a single position onto the blades, pus-
hing slightly downwards until you hear a click, indica-
ting that it is properly secured. (Figure 27).
To remove the mixing paddle:
Pull it upwards until it detaches. (Figure 28).

order to prevent splashes the “TURBO speed” pro-
gressively speeds up and operates while the key is
held down.
THE TURBO FUNCTION CANNOT BE ACTIVATED

tor control slowly to the right/left to select the heating
temperature. The selected temperature LEDs light up
in green (Figure 37).
3. Select speed. Turn the speed selector control
slowly to the right/left to select the operation speed.
The selected speed LEDs light up in green and the
selected temperature LEDs turn red. The appliance
will start to heat up (Figure 38)
CAUTION.
Speed 1 (S) should only be used for “sofritos”.
Never activate the heating function when the jug
is empty.
Once the operation is complete, the appliance
sounds an audible warning, the selected temperature
LEDs ash on and off and the blades begin to rotate
at speed 2 to prevent the food from sticking or bur-
ning. (Figure 39).
To stop:

(Figure 42)
After processing in hot mode, the digital screen dis-
plays the following information icon: Jug and tempe-
rature sensor hot (Figure 43).
If you wish to now process in cold mode, you must
allow the jug and temperature sensor to cool down
(Figure 1) by running the jug under the tap, then t-
