Removing the mixer
When the processing of the foodstuffs is complete:
➩
Always first place the switch t into the OFF
position ("0") and remove the power plug.
➩
Wait until the motor has come to a complete
standstill before lifting the mixer jug
e straight
up. It does not need to be turned.
Useful tips
– The best results when blending firm ingredients
are achieved by placing small portions one after
the other into the mixer jug
e instead of inser-
ting a single large portion.
– When processing firm ingredients, cut them into
small pieces (2-3 cm).
– When mixing liquid ingredients begin first of all
with a small measure of fluids. Gradually add
more fluids to the mixture through the filling cap.
– The appliance can be stabilised by placing your
hand on top of the closed liquidiser during opera-
tion.
– For the stirring of firm or very viscous foodstuffs
it can be beneficial to use the impulse-operation,
which helps avoid a blocking of the cutters
r .
Notice
Do not use the appliance to crush grains of cooking
salt, refined sugar or white sugar. For example, to
make powdered sugar.
Cleaning
ƽ
Caution!
Before starting to clean the liquidiser and its
components:
• Ensure that the motor is switched off and the
power plug removed from the socket.
Under no circumstance may the motor block
u be submersed in water or other fluids.This
could result in you receiving a fatal electric
shock and the appliance could be damaged.
• Never open the housing of the appliance. This
brings with it the risk of receiving a fatal electric
shock.
• Never disassemble the cutters r and never re-
ach into the mixer jug e . The cutters r are ex-
tremely sharp!
• Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners on the
plastic surfaces, they could be damaged by them.
Cleaning the mixer
➩
So that you do not injure yourself on the cutters
r , clean the mixer jug e only with a long
handled dishwasher brush.
➩
In the event of stubborn soiling, you can also cle-
an the mixer attachment
e in the dishwasher.
For this, take the mixer attachment e apart, as
described later. Otherwise, tensions may occur
during the washing process and the mixer at-
tachment
e could be damaged.
➩
Clean the lid w and the filling cap q in a dish-
washer or with the normal washing up.
If you clean the liquidiser directly after use, you can
often achieve a satisfactory and hygienic level of
cleaning with the following alternative:
