Unpacking
■ Remove all packaging materials or protective films from the appliance. Retain
the packaging, so that you can store the appliance safely or send it by post,
e.g. if it needs to be repaired.
■ Before using the appliance, check that it is free of damage; check also that
the power cable and plug as well as all accessories and appliance parts are
undamaged.
■ Clean all components carefully before using the appliance for the first time
(see “Cleaning”).
Setting up
Once all components have been cleaned as described in the section “Cleaning”:
■ Position the appliance so that, ...
– 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withdrawn in the event of danger,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 itself off as soon as the blender is removed from the
motor block . It is thus possible to overlook the fact that the appliance
is still switched on. The motor will then start unexpectedly as soon as the
blender is replaced on it:
Therefore:
– Do not insert the power plug into the wall socket until the blender 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.
– Before removing the blender , switch the appliance off, remove the
power plug and wait for the motor to stop turning.

Filling and fitting the blender
1) Remove the blender from the motor block and remove the lid .
2) Fill the blender and then press the lid firmly back onto the blender .
Ensure that the pouring spout on the blender is also closed.
3) Insert the measuring cap into the lid opening and secure it by turning it
clockwise.
4) Place the ready-filled and sealed blender onto the motor block .
Turn the blender gently until you can press it down. The motor will only
start if the blender is securely fitted.
Selecting operating speeds
Once the blender is filled, completely sealed and securely fitted to the motor
block , you can then switch the appliance on.
Set the switch 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 Ice Crush/Clean
for short, powerful impulse operation, e.g. for crushing ice cubes or when
cleaning. To prevent overloading the motor, the switch does not lock in this
position. Therefore, hold the switch in this position for short periods only.
NOTE
► Fill the blender with a maximum of 180 g of ice cubes.
Otherwise, the ice cubes will not be crushed optimally.

► If you want to add additional foods during operation, use only the measur-
ing cap provided for this purpose.
► Do NOT open the lid . Pieces of food could be thrown out at high
speeds!
► Do not insert cutlery items or mixing tools into the blender while the
appliance is in use. There is a considerable risk of injury if these come into

To add more food while the appliance is in use, ...
1) Turn the measuring cap anticlockwise and remove it.
2) Add the ingredients.
3) Afterwards, replace the measuring cap into the lid opening and secure it
by turning it clockwise.
Removing the blender
When you have finished processing the foods:
1) Always start by moving the switch to the OFF position and then remove
the power plug.
2) Wait until the motor has come to a complete standstill before lifting the blender
straight upwards
Useful tips
■ To achieve the best results when puréeing firm ingredients, add small amounts
one after the other into the blender rather than a single large portion.
■ When processing firm ingredients, cut them into small pieces (2–3 cm).
■ When mixing liquid ingredients, start off with a small amount of liquid. Grad-
ually 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 Ice
Crush/Clean to avoid a blocking of the cutting blades .
. You do not need to turn the blender as you do so.
NOTE
► Do not use the appliance to grind crystals of cooking salt, refined sugar or
white sugar. For example, to make powdered sugar.

Cleaning
RISK OF 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 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!
► Never disassemble the cutting blades and never reach into the blender .
The cutting blades 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 , clean the blender only
with a long-handled washing-up brush.
■ In a case of stubborn soiling, the blender can also be cleaned in a dish-
washer. To do this, always remove the blender , as described later.
■ Clean the lid and the measuring cap in a dishwasher or with the
normal washing up.

SSM 550 D1
■ If you clean the blender directly after use, you can often achieve a satisfacto-
ry and hygienic level of cleaning by doing the following:
Fill the blender with 750 ml of water and add a few drops of mild
detergent. Close the lid and fit the blender onto the motor block .
Insert the plug into a mains power socket and activate the Ice Crush/Clean
operation a few times, so that the cutting blades churn through the water
at full speed.
Afterwards, rinse out the blender with lots of clean water to ensure that
all detergent residues have been removed.
If this does not remove the soiling, you can separate the lower plastic part
of the blender (with the cutting blades ) from the the glass part of the
blender :
