32
• Always keep the entire appliance dry and clean and where young children cannot
reach it. Do not place any hard and/or heavy objects on the appliance or any part of it.
Take care that no one will pull the appliance by the power cord.
• Do not leave any cooking utensils in the glass jar. Do not use any hard, sharp
or edged objects (e.g. knives, forks) with the appliance. Only use wooden
or heat-resistant plastic cooking utensils to stir and serve the food. Do not handle the
appliance or any part of it with violence. Do not hold your hands or any foreign
objects (e.g. cooking utensils, clothes) in the glass jar, while the glass jar
is mounted on the motor base!
• The appliance or power cord may never touch hot surfaces. Do not place
the appliance or any part of it on or near hot surfaces (i.e. burner, heater or oven). Do
not use any part of the appliance (e.g. glass jar, measuring cup) with any other device
(e.g. range, mixer). After using the heater function the glass jar and the bottom of
the jar collar will be still hot for some minutes. Do not touch the glass jar
and the bottom of the jar collar, or place the glass jar on any heat-sensitive surface.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended, when connected to the power
supply. Do not move or tilt the appliance with the glass jar mounted on the motor base
to avoid that the glass jar will fall or hot liquid will be spilled. Always switch Off, unplug
and let the appliance cool down sufficiently when the appliance is not in use and before
moving, cleaning, or for storage. Before moving or cleaning the appliance, always allow
the appliance to cool down. Always grasp the motor base with both hands by the upper
handles and the glass jar by its handle for moving or lifting. During operation and
immediately after switching off only touch the appliance and its accessories by the handles and operating elements. Handle the processing blades with
care, as they are very sharp.
• Even with the lid properly closed, steam will escape around the measuring cup, when
preparing hot dishes. Do not hold your face, hands and arms over the lid during operation and some minutes after heating to avoid scalds.
Do not overfill the glass jar, especially when heating foodstuffs that could violently
froth or splash. Otherwise food could splash and overflow or drip on the motor housing
and cause severe scalds and damage. Always observe the maximum level
indicator (“Soup” for hot dishes; “Cold” for cold meals and drinks)!
• Before activating the heating function, always ensure that there is a sufficient amount
of liquid or fat (at least 30 ml) in the glass jar and the glass jar is mounted correctly. DO
NOT activate the heater function when the glass jar is empty! Before operating the Blender function, additionally ensure that the lid is closed properly with the measuring cup correctly in place. (See: „Operation“) Do not blend for longer than 3 minutes
to avoid overheating.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning pads (e.g. metal scouring pads) for cleaning.
Do not immerse the motor base or power cord in water or any other liquid. Do not spill or
drip any liquids on the motor base or power cord to avoid risk of fire and electric shock.
When liquids are spilled in the motor base, immediately switch Off, unplug and wait for
the appliance to cool down. Thereafter, clean the appliance thoroughly. (See: „Care and
Cleaning“)
• DO NOT place the motor base in an automatic dishwasher.

Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances
The appliance is heated electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power
socket to connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your
mains power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220/240
V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for 15 A).
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum
rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly
recommended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatible norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meat the
requirements for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance
abroad, ensure that safe operation is possible.
• It is recommended not to use any extension cords. Nevertheless, if you wish to use an
extension cord, it must be connected properly with live, neutral and protective ground
conductor and a permanent loading range of at least 15 A (core diameter: at least 1
mm2). Do not use a multi socket outlet.
• Always handle the power cord with care. Always completely unwind the power cord
before use. Do not place the appliance on a power cord. Power cords may never be
knotted, twisted, pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang
over the edge of the table or counter. The power cord may not touch hot surfaces. Ensure
that no one will pull the appliance by the power cord. Take care not to entangle in the
power cord. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
Do not touch the power plug with wet hands while the appliance is connected to the
power supply.
Hot Surfaces – Risk of Burns
The COOK & MIX is designed for cooking and heating a variety of foods and therefore
the appliance will get hot during operation.
• Always switch Off the mixer/blender before removing the measuring
cup or lid, and beware of splashing hot liquid when removing the measuring cup during
operation. Beware of steam and hot condensate during operation and even some minutes
after switching off, especially when removing the measuring cup and/or lid. Protect your
hands and arms. Even with the lid properly closed and the measuring cup inserted, steam
will escape around the measuring cup, while preparing hot dishes. Do not hold your
hands, arms, face and clothes over the lid when the glass jar is still hot.
• Glass jar, jar collar, lid and measuring cup may become very hot during operation.
Only touch these parts by the handles. The heating elements are mounted at the bottom of
the glass jar in the jar collar. Do not touch the bottom of the jar collar, shortly
after using the heater function.

Before First Use
WARNING: DO NOT let young children play with the appliance, or any
part of it, or the packaging!
1. Unpack the appliance and all accessories carefully and check whether any parts are
damaged or missing.
2. Carefully remove all shipping materials and tags, but DO NOT remove the model label
on the bottom of the appliance. Especially ensure that there are no foreign objects
(e.g. packaging) in the glass jar.
WARNING! Always switch Off the blender function, unplug and let the appliance
cool down to room temperature, before assembling/disassembling or cleaning. Do not
immerse the motor base or power cord in water or other liquids or spill any liquids on the
motor base or power cord. Do not place the motor base, measuring cup, lid or
power cord in an automatic dishwasher.
3. Before first use and after a considerable period of storage, clean the glass jar. For this,
using the self-cleaning feature is sufficient. (See: „Care and Cleaning“)
Powerful Functions of Your New COOK & MIX
The COOK & MIX is designed for mixing, cooking and heating foods and is heated by
an integrated electric heating element.
WARNING: Do not heat the glass jar of the appliance using any other source of heat
(e.g. range, microwave oven)! Glass jar, lid, measuring cup and jar collar will get very
hot when using the heater function. To avoid scalds, only touch the appliance at the
handles and operating elements during operation. Beware of hot condensate, steam and
35
hot food, when removing the lid or measuring cup, or when serving hot dishes. Do not
use any other type of jar but the supplied glass jar with the appliance.
WARNING: Before connecting the appliance to the power supply and switching on,
always ensure that the glass jar is mounted firmly on the motor base and will not tilt or
wobble.
Note: A smart safety interlock system ensures that you can only switch on the appliance
while the glass jar is mounted properly on the motor base. As soon as you remove the
glass jar, the appliance is switched OFF automatically and the power indicator light goes
out completely.
Your COOK & MIX comes with a variety of useful features that are accessed by the operating elements on the front panel (buttons, control dial and display). When pressing a
button, a beep sounds. Due to the tightly closing lid foods will not overflow or splash during mixing (“Mix”) or blending (“Blender”), or when the contents is boiling. The large opening in the lid can be used to add further ingredients during processing. There is no need
to lift the lid. Simply grasp the measuring cup in the lid by its handle and lift it upwards.
Add your ingredients and replace the measuring cup. For this, align the handle of the
measuring cup over the handle of the lid.
WARNING: Always close the opening in the lid firmly with the measuring
cup, before switching on the appliance, to avoid that foods overflow or splash; especial-
ly when processing solid food (e.g. sautéing onions or garlic), or when the glass jar is
filled up to a high filling level.
Close supervision is necessary, when cooking any lathery food with your COOK & MIX
(e.g. milk), because foam could come out of the opening in the middle of the lid at the
brim of the measuring cup. DO NOT leave the appliance unattended, during
operation.
Mix Function
CAUTION: Do not operate the mix function continuously for more than 3 minutes.
The Mix function can be used for mixing the ingredients in the glass jar. During the heating cycle the Mix function prevents that food burns on the heating plate. Because the
mixer of the COOK & MIX is very effectively, 1 or 2 seconds of operation are quite sufficient to mix the food properly. Thus operate the mixer in short intervals. This holds especially for ingredients that stick to the sidewalls of the glass jar or the blades. However,
there is no need to operate the mixer continuously during the cooking cycle.
Simply press the Mix button to operate the mix function.
The mixer is working as long as the button is pressed.
36
Blender Function
WARNING: Do not hold your hands or any foreign
objects (e.g. cooking utensils) in the glass jar, when the
appliance is connected to the power supply. During the
heating process, always ensure that the Blender control
dial is switched to the Off position!
Do not blend for more than 3 minutes to avoid overheating. This is the maximum running
time for the motor. If the motor stalls, turn the blender function Off immediately, press the
power button and unplug the appliance.
Carefully remove a portion of the food. Then try again. Cut large pieces of food to cubes
(ca. 1-2 cm) before inserting into the glass jar.
Note: For safety, the blender function is blocked when the heater function is active.
However, the heater function can be switched off manually at any time to operate the
Blender function. (See: „Heating Function“ and „Temperature Control“)
Blend your foods until you get the desired consistency. The Blender is working very effectively. Thus, selecting speed 1 or 2 will be sufficient in most cases. For preparing hot
soups do not exceed speed 2. However, speed 1 is sufficient in most cases. For
cold crunchy food, a higher speed selection may be useful. During heating you can use
the Mix function (Mix button, see: „Mix Function“).
Using the Blender:
4. For using the blender function simply turn the Blender control dial to the required speed
selection (1 to 4). The motor is running continuously until you switch back to Off.
5. After a maximum of 3 minutes switch back to Off.
Additionally, you can use the pulse function. To do so, simply turn the Blender control
dial in short intervals to “Pulse”. This is best, if you wish to prepare
crunchy soups.
Note: The COOK & MIX can be used as a standard blender to
blend cold ingredients and crush ice.
Timer Function
When the COOK & MIX is switched on (power indicator is illuminated continuously), the
cooking time can be adjusted. Simply press a Time button (“+” or “–”) to activate the display.
Note: Adjusting the timer is required for using the heating function. There is no need to
adjust the timer, if you wish to use the mix or blender function only.
• If the “–” button is pressed first, the maximum cooking time (30 minutes) will be displayed. When a cooking time is already shown on the display, the cooking time will be
decreased in steps of 1 minute.
• The “+” button will increase the cooking time in steps of 1 minute. With the maximum
cooking time on the display, the Timer will switch back to zero.
