Please contact your vendor.
• This appliance is for household use only and NOT intended for use in moving vehicles.
Do not operate or store the appliance in humid or wet areas or outdoors. Any use of accessories, attachments or spare parts not recommended by the manufacturer may result in fire,
electric shock and injuries to persons.
• Check the entire appliance regularly for proper operation — especially the power cord
and glass jar. The pins of the power plug must be clean, smooth, and without discolouration. Do not use the appliance if the glass jar is damaged in any way (e.g. scratched, cracked, or chipped). Otherwise, the glass jar could burst or leak during operation
and/or splinters could get into your foods and cause severe injuries. Do not operate the
appliance, when liquids are on the motor base or accumulate at the rear/
bottom of the appliance. Do not operate and immediately unplug the appliance,
when the appliance or any part of it is likely to be damaged, to avoid risk of fire, electric
shock or any other damage and/or injuries to persons. The appliance is likely to be damaged if the appliance was subject to inadmissible strain (e.g. overheating, mechanical or
electric shock), or if there are any cracks, excessively frayed or melted parts, or distortions,
or if the appliance is not working properly. In this case, immediately unplug the appliance
and return the entire appliance (including all parts and accessories) to an authorised service
centre for examination and repair.
• During operation keep the appliance in an appropriate distance of at least 30 cm on
each side and 1 m above to furniture, walls, boards, curtains and other objects. Do not
process inflammable liquids (e.g. high-proof alcohol). Do not operate the appliance beneath
any heat-sensitive or moisture-sensitive materials or beneath boards or drop-lights to avoid
damage caused by steam, condensate or splashes. Operate the appliance on a well accessible, stable, level, dry, heat-resistant, water-resistant and suitable large table or counter.
Do not place the appliance over a power cord, or near the edge of the table or counter, or

care that no one will pull the appliance by the power cord.
• Always handle the stainless steel blades with care, especially while removing the blades,
cleaning or emptying the jar.
• Before turning the appliance on, always make sure, there are no foreign objekts in the
glas jar, it is assembled properly, is leakproof and is securely attached to the motor base.
Do not place any clothes, napkins or other objects under or on the appliance during operation, to avoid damages through fire and electric shock.
• 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 heatresistant 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
pay attention to 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
31
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.
• Always turn off the appliance before replacing accessories, disassemling and cleaningl.
• This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:
– staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;
– farm houses;

– bed and breakfast type environments.
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 PLUS 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.
32
Do not hold your hands, arms, face and clothes over the lid when the glass jar is still hot.
• Glass jar, jar base, 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 base. Do not touch the bottom of the jar base, shortly after
using the heater function.

Powerful Functions of Your New COOK & MIX PLUS
The COOK & MIX PLUS 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 base 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 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 PLUS 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 or blending, or when the contents are 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; especially
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 PLUS (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.
ASSEMBLING THE APPLIANCE
Before first use, clean the glass jar thoroughly (see: ›Care and Cleaning‹).
Disassembling the glass jar
