• It is recommended that you use the stir function while frying or sautéing onions, garlic or
other base ingredients at the start of your recipe.
• It is not ideal to use the stir button to blend the soup but it can be used if you require
chunky soup.
• nOTe: For safety, do not use stir button longer than ten seconds on heat mode. Use stir
function intermittently.
Blending function
• Your COOK & MIX PLUS features 4 different speed levels and a PULSE-function, which
can be accessed with the rotary speed selector.
• For safety reasons, the blending function only works when the cooking or heating process
has completed.
• The heating plate can also manually be turned off by pressing the heat button currently in
use (lights will be illuminated) or alternatively pressing the ON/OFF power button.
• If the on/off power button is used to turn off the heater, the appliance will switch off
completely and will have to be re-started for blending.
• For safety reasons, when hot ingredients’ temperature is over 70° C, the max blending
speed can only reach level 2 even if you are on level 3 or level 4.
• nOTe: Do not blend for longer than three minutes. This is the maximum running time for
the motor.
• nOTe: Always turn the speed selector to position ›0‹ after working the appliance or
before the next use. Internal safeguard will prevent the appliance from mixing. This safe-
guard is installed to prevent any unintentional use and any damages while plugging the
appliance into the power outlet again.

Making Soup
1. Place the motor housing onto a flat, sturdy surface.

must be selected to start the heater initially.

on the heat mode. Make sure you place the butter on the heating plate rather than the
blades. Select low heat (›SIEDEN‹) setting to melt butter. If frying onions and garlic, add
and cook until softened, replacing the lid.

is normal.
