on/off button, immerse the processing tool in the food (up to the half of its height at most),
to avoid excessive splashing and dripping of liquids onto the appliance.
1. Prepare your food in a sufficiently large and high-sided vessel like the vessle provided.
WARNING: The provided vessle is not heat resistant. The max. temperature
is 80-90 degrees. Let the boiling food cool down a little bit before starting to blend.
2. Ensure, that the appliance is unplugged.
3. Insert the motor housing in the blender gear box (on the blender shaft) and turn it
counter-clockwise until it locks.
There may be no gap between the motor housing and blender gear box. The blender shaft
must be locked firmly and may not wobble.
4. Adjust the variable speed switch to select the desired speed.
5. Immerse the blender blade box in the food.
It is to be expected, that the food will splash during operation. When processing hot meals,
do not hold the appliance in the rising steam to avoid condensation on the motor housing.
It is good advice to protect your hands and the motor housing with a small, clean kitchen
towel. Immediately wipe off condensate on the motor housing.
6. Connect the power plug to a suitable wall power outlet.
7. Hold on to the vessel and press the on/off button to start the motor. Slowly move the
blender up and down during operation.
CAUTION: Do not use the appliance in continuous operation for more than 1 minute to
avoid overheating. If processing large quantities of food, regularly interrupt operation and
unplug the appliance for at least 5 minutes, to let the motor cool down.
8. Blend your food to the desired quality but at least after 1 minute of continuous operation
release the on/off button and wait until the motor stops, before you lift the blending tool out
of the food.
9. Always unplug the appliance immediately after operation. Lay down the appliance on a
stable, dry and clean surface, where it can not fall.
NOTE: After blending very salty meals, you should rinse the blender blades with clean tap
water immediately after operation to avoid discolouration and corrosion of the blender shaft.
WARNING: Always release the on/off button, wait until the motor stops completely and
unplug the appliance before assembling or disassembling the blending tool.
10. Clean the appliance in accordance to the instructions in chapter Care and Cleaning.
Do not leave any food dry on the surfaces of the appliance.
