Blender with Unbreakable Plastic Jar
(MUZ 4 MX2)

WARNING

1. There is a risk of injury from sharp
blades when using the blender
attachment.

2. Keep hands and utensils out of the
blender jar while it is attached to the
power unit.

3. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

4. To avoid injury, never place blade
assembly on power unit without
blender jar properly attached.

5. Always operate the blender with the
cover in place. Always hold the cover
in place when in operation to prevent
the cover from being knocked off.

liquids, process a maximum of 18 fluid
ounces (0.5 litres) at a time.

How to Use Blender

The blender has been designed for crushing
ice; mixing liquids; pureeing vegetables;
preparing special diet and infant foods;
pulverizing fruit, vegetables, nuts and dried
bread (for bread crumbs); and preparing
mayonnaise and sauces.

Use of blender
Before beginning to use the blender
attachment, make sure that the power unit
is on a clean, smooth, suitable work
surface and switched to off position, “O/Off,”
and that you have removed the drive cover
from the high-speed drive where the blender
will be placed.

1. Before using the blender for the first
time, it is recommended that the
blender jar cover, closure/funnel and
blade/base assembly, gasket and
locking ring be washed. All
components, except the blade/base
assembly, are dishwasher safe.
Remove the blade/base assembly from
the blender:

The MUM 4635 UC, MUM 4620 UC and the
MUM 4420 UC Bosch Compact Series
Kitchen Machines include the MUZ 4 MX2
blender accessory. The blender accessory
consists of, figure 5:

First remove the locking ring, as shown
in figure 6a and 6b. Then turn the
blender over so that the base is facing
upward, as shown in figure 7, and
remove the blade assembly by turning

13

the blade assembly counterclockwise
until it stops and then lift up see figures
7c and 7e.

Figure 6.

CAUTION

Blade/base assembly is very sharp.

Handle with care.

Wash the blade/base assembly under
running water. Do not place the blade/
base assembly in the dishwasher or
allow it to stand in water. This will tend
to wash out the lubricant. After
cleaning, rinse thoroughly and dry
before using.

2. To assemble or reassemble blade/base
assembly into the blender, reverse the
steps that were used in the above to
remove it.

3. The blender is used in mode 3, see
table 1. To place the blender on the

power unit the arm must be rotated to
the down position. Depress the release
button, see 4a, and lower the arm so
that the arm is vertical and the high­speed drive is straight up.

If you have
not already done so, remove the motor
drive cover from the high-speed drive
and place the blender on the high-speed
drive and turn counterclockwise to lock
the blender in place.

Figure 7.

If the blade assembly is too tight to
turn by hand, the locking ring may
be used to loosen the blade assembly,
as shown in figure 7d. After loosening,
turn the blade assembly counter­clockwise until it stops and then lift up.
The gasket may be removed for
cleaning, as shown in figure 7f.

Placing Blender into Operation

Make sure that the power unit’s rotary
switch is in the off position, “O/Off.” Pull
the electrical cord or unwind it to the
necessary length and then plug into the
wall outlet. The blender is now ready for
operation.

Normally when blending, the blender jar
should be filled with the entire amount of
material to be blended, if possible, before
switching the appliance to On. The cover
and cover closure should always be in place
after filling the blender jar and before
switching the power unit to On. Any
subsequent additions to the blended
material should be made through the cover
opening, see figure 8. For solids and/or
granular material, remove the cover closure/
funnel to add the material, as shown in
figure 8a. For liquids, the closure/funnel
may be left in place and the liquids can be
added by pouring them into the closure/
funnel, see figure 8b.

Figure 8.

When the blender is being used on dry
materials, such as nuts or bread, the best
results will be obtained when the blender
jar is filled with approximately 1/2 cup of
material to be blended. If the blender does
not start (even after trying the highest
speed), the blade has become blocked by
the contents. The power unit should be:

Example of Use of Blender

To familiarize you with the operation of the
blender, a sample recipe for mayonnaise is
provided below:

Mayonnaise Recipe

1 whole egg

1/3 cup of vegetable oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice or light

vinegar

1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2/3 cup of vegetable oil

Mix all ingredients, except final 2/3’s cup
of oil, for a few seconds at speed 1, then
quickly pour the oil in through the opening
in the cover in a uniformly thick stream, as
shown in figure 8b. Operate the blender at
speeds 1 or 4 until mixture is thick and
smooth (approximately 10–20 seconds).
Makes 1 1/4 cups.

Tips:
The blender should be operated with careful
consideration as to what is required and/or
desired. The speed at which the blender is
operated and the length of operation for a
given job will depend upon the degree of
fineness desired or the amount being
blended.

1. Switched to off, “O/Off,” and unplugged.

2. The mixture should be removed and the
contents at the bottom of the jar
loosened.

Removing Contents

Before beginning to remove the contents
from the blender, make sure that the power
unit has been turned to off position “O/Off.”
Remove the blender from the power unit by
turning the blender clockwise while lifting.
With the blender removed from the power
unit, the contents of the blender may now
be poured into a suitable container or bowl,
as desired. Replace the cover on the high­speed drive.

Care and Cleaning of Blender
All components of the blender, except the
blade/base assembly, are dishwasher safe.
It is recommended that the blade/base
assembly be cleaned only under flowing
water rather than in the dishwasher. Soap
and detergent will tend to wash out the
bearing lubricant of the blade/base
assembly. Do not use scouring cleaners on
any of the blender parts.

The power unit of the kitchen machine
should be cleaned with a clean, damp cloth
only. Never use coarse or caustic cleaning
products to clean this appliance. Never
immerse the power unit in water.

Figure 10.

Assemble the continuous shredder in the
order as shown in figure 9:

1. Insert the disc holder/slinger into
the housing.

2. Select disc to be used and,
making sure that the side desired
is facing upward, place it on disc
holder.

3. Place cover on housing and turn
counterclockwise until cover snaps

placed in position, and then lower
the arm to horizontal position.

6. Place continuous shredder on the
mid-speed drive of the power unit,
with the arm in the horizontal
position and turn counterclockwise
until it locks into position.

Placing Slicer/Shredder into Operation

Make sure the power unit is on a smooth,
clean, suitable work surface and switched
to the Off position, “O/Off.” Pull the electrical
cord or unwind the electrical cord to the
necessary length and plug into a convenient
outlet. The continuous shredder is now
ready for use.

Figure 11.

Place items to be sliced, shredded or
grated in feeding funnel and be sure to use
the pusher to feed items into the discs when
in operation.

Learning how to feed food properly into the
feed funnel is the most important factor for
proper slicing and grating:

17

1. For long slices or long shreds, place
food into the feeding funnel lengthwise.

2. For short or circular slices, place food
in the feeding tube on end. For
example, If you wish to have circular
slices of zucchini or carrots:

• cut to length not to extend above the

top of the feeding tube.

• place the cut zucchini or carrots in

the feeding tube on end until the
feeding tube is packed.

To slice a single narrow item, a carrot for
example:

• place the carrot in the feeding funnel
opposite the cutting edge of the disc.

The wall of the feeding funnel will then serve
to hold the piece vertical.

When using the continuous shredder, be
sure to watch the level in the bowl and stop
the slicing, shredding or grating before the
level of the material being sliced, shredded
or grated blocks the discharge tube.

Slicing and shredding tips:

1. Shopping for fruits and vegetables that
will fit into the feeding funnel will simplify
food preparation.

4. Do not overcook potatoes that are to
be sliced. Also it is recommended that
you let them cool first. Potatoes must
be cool and firm to obtain the regular
slices.

If the slicer/shredder does not start (even
after trying the highest speed) the disc has
become blocked by the contents. The
power unit should be:

1. Switched to Off position, “O/Off,” and
unplugged.

2. The continuous shredder should be
removed from the power unit, the cover
removed and the items causing the
blockage removed.

Removing Contents

Before beginning to remove the contents
from the bowl, make sure that the power
unit has been turned to the Off position,
“O/Off.” The continuous shredder may be
removed from the power unit by turning the
shredder clockwise while lifting. With the
continuous shredder removed from the
power unit, depress the release button and
move the arm upward until the bowl can be
removed. The contents of the bowl may now
be poured into a suitable container or bowl,
as desired.

2. Foods that are to be used together may
be sliced together. This can be used to
your advantage. For example, green
onions and celery are often used
together, but feeding the green onions
into the feeding funnel alone is difficult.
Try slicing the green onions at the same
time as the celery by interspersing
them in the feeding funnel with the
celery.

3. Use the slicing disc to shred lettuce.

Care and Cleaning
of Continuous Shredder

All components of the continuous shredder
are dishwasher safe. Do not use scouring
cleaners on any of the continuous shredder
parts.

The power unit of the kitchen machine
should be cleaned with a clean, damp cloth
only. Never use coarse or caustic cleaning
products to clean this appliance. Never
immerse the power unit in water.
