OperatIOn
general information
Keep the workplace during work clean and dry. If necessary, wipe off splashes or spilled
liquids with a dry cloth.
warnIng: Never place the motor base on wet underlayments or towels. Never let fluids
run under or onto the motor base. If liquids have entered into the motor base, then immedi-
ately pull the power plug from the outlet, and have the applaince checked at a specialised
service centre.
warnIng: Never put your hands or foreign objects (e.g. cooking cutlery ) into the blen-
der jug, when the blender jug is mounted on the motor base. Always switch to ›0‹ (switch
position: ›0‹/AUS/OFF), wait until the blades stand still and then remove the blender jug
from the motor base before removing the lid to check the content or pushing down the food
in the blender jug. Use only cooking utensils made of wood, rubber or plastic. Apply no vi-
olence, if you push the food down the blender jug or dissolve ingredients that have become
wedged in the blade. Your Vital Mixer cannot replace all your kitchen appliances. YYou
cannot use it to mash potatoes, to beat eggs for a meringue or to prepare minced or juiced
fruits or vegetables. Also for very firm dough types (e.g.: yeast dough) or harsh ingredients
(e.g.: nuts, hard chocolate) this device is not suitable.
Important: Do not let food residue to dry in the blender jug of your appliance. Clean the
appliance immediately after operation (see ›Care and Cleaning‹).
tips for preparation
• Always place liquid ingredients first in the Vital Mixer, if it is not otherwise specified in
the recipe.
• Cut solid foods (vegetables, fruits, cheeses, cooked meats, fish and seafood) in about
2 cm pieces. Do not overload the motor with too hard or too large ingredients. Turn the
appliance off (ON/OFF-switch position ›0‹ (AUS/OFF) when the motor gets stuck to avoid
overheating (see: ›Trouble Shooting‹).
• Process the ingredients just a few seconds. It is better to consider the quality of the pro-
duct in between, as to obtain a too fine, possibly mushy product.
• With the two speeds and pulse function (switch position: ›M‹) you can prepare easily,
versatile and quickly a variety of dishes.
Selecting the Speed levels
Turn the ON/OFF-switch easily to the desired speed level. The appropriate speed level is
determined by the textures of the ingredients (see the following table). To use the pulse func-
tion (ON/OFF-switch position ›M‹) turn and hold the switch in position until the ingredients
have reached the desired consistency.
