    • that the mains cable passes through the recess at the rear of the appliance,
    • the power plug is immediately accessible, so that it can be quickly withdrawn in the event of danger,
    • that it is stable and not liable to slip, and so that the sucker feet can attach firmly and the appliance cannot tip over due to vibration,
    • that the mains cable is not in the working area and thus does not present a risk of being inadvertently snagged and tipping the appliance over.

Operation

WARNING!

  • The motor switches off automatically as soon as the blender 3 is removed from the motor block 6 or the lid 2 is opened. In such cases it may be easy to forget that the machine is still switched on. The motor will then start unexpectedly as soon as the blender attachment 3 is fitted or the lid 2 is closed again:
    Therefore:
    • Do not insert the power plug into the wall socket until the blender 3 is filled and mounted with its lid fitted and closed.
    • Before fitting the blender, always check to see that the appliance is switched off or that the power plug has been removed.
    • Switch the appliance off first, pull the plug out and wait until the motor has come to a standstill before removing the blender 3 or opening the lid 2.

Fitting and filling the blender

  1. Remove blender 3 from motor block 6 in a vertical, upward motion.
  2. Remove the lid 2 by rotating it anticlockwise towards position (see Fig 1) until you can pull it upwards.
  3. Fill the blender 3 to at least to the lowest line of the scale 8 and at most to the MAX mark. For optimum results, we recommend the following maximum filling quantities:
     

    Food

    		 Max. filling quantity Recom- mended level Recommended processing time
    Liquids 1750 ml 1‒3 60 sec.
    Yoghurt-based drinks 1250 ml 2‒5 90 sec.
    Milkshakes/ smoothies 1250 ml 2‒5 60‒90 sec.
    Pancake mix 1250 ml 3‒5 90 sec.
    Baby food 750 ml 5 3 min.
    Mayonnaise 2 eggs

    250 ml oil

    		 3‒5 90‒120 sec.
    Vegetable soup 1500 ml 3‒5 3 min.
    Ice cubes 250 ml P 12x
  4. Press the lid 2 firmly down onto the blender 3. Close the lid 2 by turning it clockwise to position until it audibly engages (see Fig. 2). Ensure that the pouring spout on the blender 3 is closed. The motor cannot start until the lid 2 is fitted flush.
  5. Press the measuring cap 1 into the lid as far as the stop.
  6. Place the completely filled and closed blender 3 with the handle to the right on the motor block 6. Make sure that the arrow on the blender 3 points to the arrow on the motor block 6. Turn the blender 3 slightly back and forth if it does not immediately sit properly. The motor cannot start until the blender 3 is fitted flush to the motor unit.

    7. Selecting the speed setting

    Once the blender 3 is filled and sitting completely closed on the motor block 6, you can switch on the appliance.
    Set the switch 5 to …

  • Level 1 – 3
    for liquids or soft foodstuffs, for mixing, blending and stirring
  • Level 3 – 5
    for more solid foods or for chopping
  • Level P (pulse function)
    for short, powerful impulse operation, e.g. for crushing ice cubes or when cleaning. To prevent overloading the motor, the switch 5 does not lock in this position. Therefore, hold the switch 5 in this position for short periods only.

NOTE

Fill the blender 3 with a maximum of 250 ml of ice cubes. Otherwise, the ice cubes will not be crushed optimally.

Filling while in use

WARNING!

  • If you want to add additional foods during operation, use only the measuring cap 1 provided for this purpose. Do NOT open the lid 2.
  • Do not insert cutlery items or mixing tools into the blender 3 while the appliance is in use. There is a considerable risk of injury if these come into contact with the swiftly rotating cutting blades 4!
    To add more food while the appliance is in use, …
    • Remove the measuring cap 1 from the lid 2.
    • Add the ingredients.
    • Press the measuring cap 1 back into the lid.

Removing the blender

If you want to remove the blender 3 from the motor block 6:

  1. Always start by setting switch 5 to the off position (“0”) and pulling out the mains plug.
  2. Wait until the motor has come to a complete standstill before lifting the blender 3 off the motor block 6. Remove the blender 3 from the motor block 6 in a vertical, upward motion.

Useful tips

  • To achieve the best results when puréeing firm ingredients, add small amounts one after the other into the blender 3 rather than a single large portion.
  • When processing firm ingredients, cut them into small pieces (2 – 3 cm).
  • Add at least 50 ml of liquid when pureeing fruit or vegetables.
  • Add thicker ingredients (such as yoghurt) into the blender 3 first. If any of ingredients are not picked up during mixing, remove the blender 3 from the motor block 6, remove the lid 2 and stir the ingredients with a suitable implement, such as a spoon. Replace the blender 3 back on the motor block 6 with the lid 2 closed and continue mixing.
  • When mixing liquid ingredients, start off with a small amount of liquid. Gradually add more liquids to the mixture through the measuring cap.
  • The appliance can be stabilised by placing your hand on top of the closed blender during operation.
  • When stirring firm or very viscous foods, it can be helpful to use the level P to avoid a blocking of the cutting blades 4.

NOTE

Do not use the appliance to grind crystals of cooking salt, refined sugar or white sugar. For example, to make powdered sugar.

Cleaning

DANGER! ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Before starting to clean the blender and its components:

  • Ensure that the motor is switched off and the power plug removed from the socket. Do not immerse the motor block 6 in water or other liquids. This could result in you receiving a fatal electric shock and cause damage to the appliance.
  • Never open the housing of the appliance. Otherwise, there is a risk of a fatal electric shock.

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!

  • Handle the cutting blades 4 with extreme caution. They are extremely sharp!

CAUTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE!

  • Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners on the plastic surfaces, they could be damaged by them.

Cleaning the blender

  • To prevent injuring yourself on the cutting blades 4, clean the blender 3 only with a long-handled washing-up brush.
  • Clean the measuring cap 1 and the lid 2 in a mild soap solution. You can remove the rubber seal 9 to clean the blender lid by hand. Make sure that the rubber seal 9 is correctly reattached before you use the lid 2 again

NOTE
You can also clean the lid 2 together with the rubber seal 9, the measuring cap 1 and the blender attachment 3 in the dishwasher along with the cutting blades 4. We recommend not removing the rubber seal 9 when cleaning in the dishwasher, as it might otherwise deform. If possible, place the plastic parts in the upper basket of the dishwasher and make sure that they are not jammed. Otherwise, they could become misshapen or suffer from stress cracks.

  • If you clean the blender directly after use, you can often achieve a satisfactory and hygienic level of cleaning by doing the following:
    Fill the blender attachment 3 with 750 ml of water and add a drop of washing up liquid. Close the lid 2 and fit the blender attachment 3 onto the motor unit 6. Insert the mains plug into the socket and activate the pulse function a few times so that the cutting blades 4 plough through the water at maximum speed. Afterwards, rinse the blender attachment 3 with plenty of clean water to remove any washing up liquid residues.
  • Dry all parts thoroughly before reusing or storing them.
  • If this does not remove the dirt, you can remove the lower plastic part of the blender attachment 3 with the cutting blades 4 from the glass part of the blender 3:

A. Glass part
B. Sealing ring
C. Plastic part with blades

  1. Remove the blender 3 from the motor unit 6. For better stability, remove the lid 2 by turning it anticlockwise towards position (see Fig 1) until you can pull it off upwards.
  2. Turn the appliance upside down and turn the plastic part C of the blender 3 anticlockwise so that it can be detached from the glass part A of the blender attachment 3 (see fig. 4).
  3. Clean both parts in a mild soap solution or in the dishwasher.
  4. You can carefully remove the sealing ring B from the plastic part C if necessary. Clean in mild soapy water and rinse with clear water.
  5. Dry all parts thoroughly before reassembling them.
  6. If necessary, reinsert the sealing ring B into the plastic part C correctly. Then place the plastic part C of the blender 3 back on the glass part A of the blender 3 and turn the plastic part C clockwise.

Cleaning the motor block

  • If necessary, clean the motor unit 6 and its mains cable with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, apply a mild detergent to the cloth and wipe off with a cloth moistened only with water. Dry everything well afterwards.
  • When cleaning, always check that the contact switch in the fitting for the blender 3 is not blocked by soiling residues. If you cannot dislodge any blockages with the corner of a piece of paper, make contact with Customer Services. Do not use any hard objects, these could damage the contact switch.

Storage

  1. If you do not intend to use the blender for an extended period, clean it thoroughly (see chapter “Cleaning”).
  2. Wrap the power cable around the cable retainer 7 on the base of the motor block 6.
  3. Store the blender in a cool and dry location.
