Know your mixer grinder

Jar capacity

Minimum capacity for all the above jars is at least up to blade level.

Using the product

1. How to fit/remove blades (big jar, medium jar, blender jar)
Hold the coupler on the underside of the jar and with the spatula, tighten by rotating in an anti-clockwise direction to fit and clockwise to remove until the blade is securely locked/removed.

Note: If the coupler and/or some other parts are removed during removing the blade, please refer to “Blade changing procedure” see page 9.

2. How to fit jar to main unit
Carefully insert the jar on top of the main unit. Ensure that the lock of the jar fits into the slot of the main unit. Rotate the jar clockwise until it locks and use the handle to lock.


3. How to fit/remove active flow breaker
Your Bosch TrueMixx Style Mixer Grinder has an active flow breaker which improves the quality of your wet grinding applications. To fit the active flow breaker, insert the active flow breaker in the groove on the inside surface of the big jar and slide it in until it fits properly. To remove it, gently press in the opposite direction till it disengages. Slide it out thereafter.

4. How to use MaxxJuice extractor (only for MGM8842.IN)
For mixing smoothies use the blender jar with the blender jar blade. Put the MaxxJuice extractor in the blender jar as shown and press it gently down.

Safety systems

The Bosch TrueMixx Pro Mixer Grinder is fitted with an overload protector (OFF) mechanism to prevent the motor burning out due to overloading. In case of excess loading with ingredients in the jar, very thick paste or low voltage conditions, your Bosch mixer grinder automatically switches off and the red knob on the bottom of the mixer grinder will spring out. If this happens, switch off your mixer grinder and remove the excess ingredients. Add sufficient water if dealing with thick paste and wait for 2-3 minutes. Press the red reset button and start the mixer grinder again.


Operating your mixer grinder

Before using for the first time / using after a long time
■ Before using the mixer grinder for the first time or using it after a long time, thoroughly clean all the parts that come into contact with food ingredients.
■ Rotate the motor shaft by hand via the motor coupler, on top of the main unit. The motor shaft should rotate freely.
■ Check that the speed selector is in the OFF position.
■ Place the main unit on a smooth, stable and clean surface.

Caution!
Never place plastic, paper or cloth under the mixer grinder as it may block the ventilation holes.

■ Connect the main plug to the wall socket. Your Mixer Grinder has a dummy 3rd pin on the plug to ensure stable fixing onto the plug point. Switch on the main supply and turn the speed selector knob to the required position and speed. After operation, turn the speed selector knob to the OFF position and check. Repeat until the desired results are obtained.

Preparation of ingredients Important!
■ Cool down any hot ingredients before putting in the jar.
■ Cut large ingredients into small pieces approx. 2 cm in size before mixing/ grinding.

Regular use and operation
■ For blending/liquidizing/puréeing use `Pulse’ on the speed selector knob. This will activate Pulse until you release the button. Use position 1-3 for continuous operation. 1 = Lowest operating speed 3 = Highest operating speed Hold down the jar lid gently while your mixer grinder is in operation.
■ After switching off the mixer grinder, wait until the blade stops rotating completely and only then remove the lid or insert the spatula.

■ Before removing the jar from the main unit, ensure that the power supply is disconnected.
■ Avoid using your hand to fill or clean jars. It is safer and more hygienic to use the spatula.
■ Avoid storing food in the jar.

Cleaning

Risk of electric shock!
Never immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid or pour any liquid over it. Never hold under running water and do not clean in the dishwasher.
To keep your Bosch mixer grinder sparkling clean, just follow these steps.

  1. First remove the mains plug from the electrical socket.
  2. Clean the main unit using a damp/wet cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
  3. Hold the jar under running water for a minute after each use to remove the residue.
  4. Please remove active flow breaker while cleaning the jar. For instructions how to remove it, please refer to  “How to fit/ remove active flow breaker” see page 6.
  5. Remove the jars after each use and wash in soapy water. Then rinse with clean water.
  6. Dry the parts thoroughly with a clean soft cloth.
  7. Always keep/store the jars upside down.
  8. We recommend you clean your Bosch mixer grinder immediately after use for easier removal of residue.
  9. Do not immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid or pour liquid over it.
  10. Regularly clean the jars and gaskets after each use for proper hygiene and performance of the Mixer Grinder.
  11. After every use of the Mixer Grinder, pour small amounts of hot water into the jars to remove the leftover or sticky substances.

Troubleshooting

Blade changing procedure

Removing the blade
1. Hold the coupler on the underside of the jar and using spatula rotate the blade nut in a clockwise direction.

Small parts —­ be careful not to lose or forget them.
3. Take the blade assembly out of the jar.

4. Hold the blade assembly with cloth. Using spatula untighten the blade nut (turn in a clockwise direction).

Fitting the blade
Do this in reverse order as described in Chapter “Removing the blade” (see page 9).
5. Put selected blade onto the axis and tighten the blade nut with the spatula (rotate in anti-clockwise direction).

6. Put fiber- and brass-washer onto the axis. Put the assembly into the jar.

7. Put the plain washer and spring onto the axis from the underside and tighten the coupler by rotating it in an anti-clockwise direction.
