Using the appliance

Bowl

◗ If you want to use the bowl, remove the

blender jar and close the fixing hole with the
screw cap. All functions that require the use
of the bowl will only work if the blender jar
has been removed.

C

1 Mount the bowl on the food processor by

turning the handle in the direction of the
arrow until you hear a click.

C

2 Put the lid on the bowl. Turn the lid in the

direction of the arrow until you hear a
click (this requires some force).

Built-in safety lock

B

Both the motor unit and the lid have been
provided with marks. The appliance will only
function if the arrow on the motor unit is placed
directly opposite the mark on the lid.

C

1 Make sure that the mark on the lid and

the arrow on the bowl are directly

opposite each other. The projection of the

lid will now cover the opening of the

handle.

Feed-tube and pusher

C

1 Use the feed-tube to add liquid and/or

solid ingredients. Use the pusher to push

solid ingredients through the feed-tube.

C

2 You can also use the pusher to close the

feed-tube in order to prevent ingredients

from escaping through the feed-tube.

Blade

Tips

◗ The appliance chops very quickly. Use the

pulse function for short periods at a time to
prevent the food from becoming too finely
chopped.

◗ Do not let the appliance run too long when

you are chopping (hard) cheese. The cheese
will become too hot, will start to melt and
will turn lumpy.

◗ Do not use the blade to chop very hard

ingredients like coffee beans, nutmeg and ice
cubes.

17 Screw the lid onto the blender jar.
18 Switch the appliance on and blend the

ingredients. The speed settings allow you

to adjust the speed of the appliance to

obtain optimal results. See the table for

the recommended speed settings.

Tips

C

◗ Pour the liquid ingredients into the blender

jar through the hole in the lid.

◗ The longer you let the appliance run, the finer

the blending result will be.

◗ Pre-cut solid ingredients into smaller pieces

before putting them into the blender. If you
want to prepare a large quantity, process
small batches of ingredients instead of trying
to process a large quantity at once.

◗ Hard ingredients may require soaking in

water prior to processing.

◗ If you have doubts about the right speed,

always select the highest speed (position 2).

If ingredients stick to the wall of the blender jar:

1 Switch the appliance off and unplug it.
2 Remove the lid.

Never remove the lid while the appliance is still
running.

◗ All the ingredients for making mayonnaise

should be at room temperature.

Oil can be added through the small hole in the
bottom of the pusher.

◗ If you are going to whip cream, the cream

should be taken straight from the refrigerator.
Please observe the preparation time in the
table. Cream should not be whipped too long.

Use the pulse function to have more control over
the process.

Blender

The blender is intended for:

- Blending fluids, e.g. dairy products, sauces, fruit
juices, soups, mixed drinks, sweet teas, shakes.

- Mixing soft ingredients, e.g. pancake batter or
mayonnaise.

- Pureeing cooked ingredients, e.g. for making
baby food.

◗ For best results, put the blender jar with the

remaining ingredients back onto the appliance
and let it run for a few more seconds. Then
pour out the rest of the drink.

Tips

◗ Particularly when you are processing large

quantities, we advise you not to put all the
ingredients in the filter at the same time. Start
processing a small quantity, let the appliance
run for a moment, switch it off and then add
another small quantity. Always place the lid!
Repeat this procedure until you have
processed all the ingredients.

◗ For making soy milk:

Soak soy beans for 4 hours before processing
them. You can process max. 50 g of dried soy
beans or max. 2/3 of the metal sieve of the filter
filled with soaked soy beans. Add 500 ml water
and blend until smooth.

Juice extractor

The juice extractor can be used for preparing
fresh fruit and vegetable juices. Pulp, pips and
skins will be separated.

◗ Remove the blender jar and close the fixing

hole with the screw cap. All functions which
require use of the bowl will only work if the
blender jar has been removed.

C

1 Put the bowl on the motor unit.

3 Use a spatula to remove the ingredients

from the wall of the jar.

Keep the spatula at a safe distance from the
blades (approx. 2 cm).

Filter

You can use the filter to make delicious fresh fruit
juices, cocktails or soy milk in no time. All pips
and skins will be caught in the filter.

C

1 Put the filter in the assembled blender jar.

Make sure that the grooves of the filter fit
exactly onto the ribs inside the blender
jar.

C

2 Put the ingredients in the filter.
3 Pour water or another liquid (e.g. for

cocktails) into the blender jar.

C

4 Place the lid in the sieve position.
5 Switch the appliance on. See the table for

the right speed setting.

If you have doubts about the right speed, select
the highest speed setting.

C

4 Place the sieve on the sieve holder by

aligning the three protrusions on the rim
of sieve into the sieve holder slots.

5 Put the lid on the bowl. Turn the lid in the

direction of the arrow until you hear a
click (this requires some force).

C

6 Make sure that the mark on the lid and

the arrow on the bowl are directly
opposite each other. The projection of the
lid will now cover the opening of the
handle of bowl.

7 Select the appropriate speed setting to

switch on the appliance. See the
recommended speed settings to obtain
optimal results:

Process maximum 350g of fruit each time.
Use speed 1 for grapes and tomatoes.
Use speed 2 for other kinds of fruit.

C

8 Lay fruits into the juice extractor through

the feed tube. Pre-cut large chunks to
make them fit into the feed tube.

C

9 Press the ingredients slowly and steadily

down the feed tube with the pusher. Do
not exert too much pressure on the
pusher; this could affect the quality of the
end result and it could even halt the sieve.

10 Keep the pusher in the feed tube as often

as possible to prevent splattering.

11 Let the appliance run for another 20

seconds to obtain any juice still left in the
ingredients.

C

12 To avoid spilling juice on the appliance,

remove the bowl along with the juice
extractor accessory after use.

Tips

◗ The juice extractor accessory is particularly

suitable for processing carrots, apples, grapes,
watermelons, beetroots, pears, tomatoes,
pineapples, guavas, mangoes and honeydew
melons.

◗ For best results use only ripe fruits.
◗ Thin peels or skins do not have to be

removed. Only thick peels of, for example,
pineapples, melons and uncooked beetroots;
stalks on fruits have to be removed.

14 ENGLISH

◗ Starchy fruits, such as banana, avocado, and

fig, are not suitable for processing in the juice
extractor.

◗ Always switch on the appliance before you

put the fruit in the juice extractor.

◗ Switch the appliance off once in a while, to

remove pulp from the sieve and the sieve
holder or to pour out juice from the bowl.

◗ Do not process large amounts of fruit at the

same time. If the appliance starts to vibrate
heavily, or if juice starts to leak between the
bowl and the lid of the bowl, switch the
appliance off, remove pulp from the sieve and
the sieve holder, and pour out juice from the
bowl before continuing the process.

◗ Do not let the appliance run continuously for

more than two minutes. If you have not
finished extracting juice, switch the appliance
off and allow it to cool down for two minutes
before continuing.

Mill

4 Turn the assembled mill upside down and

screw it onto the motor unit.

After processing, unscrew the mill from the
motor housing:

C

5 Pull the safety ring out and turn it anti-

clockwise. Then remove the blade unit.

The mill is suitable for grinding e.g. ingredients as
mentioned in the table. Do not exceed the
quantities!
