1. Place the motor base on a suitable, stable, dry, and clean working surface. (see: ‘Safegu-

ards for Daily Operation’). The control panel has to face the front.
2. Place the bowl on the motorbase turning it anticlockwise until it is securely locked in posi-

tion. Do not use any force. The handle should be facing the front which is above the control

panel.
3. Fit the spindle onto the drive shaft, in the middle of the processing

bowl. The long shaft of the spindle has to slide over the drive shaft and

the end with the aglet should face upright. If necessary turn the spindle a

little to fit in position. The spindle sticks out of the bowl for 1 or 2 cm.
Note: All attachments must be firmly attached to the spindle. Always

adjust the attachments until you are sure that they are correctly fitted.
4. Put the disc or blade you want to use on top of the spindle turning the

disc until the hexagonal nut of the disc fits on the hexagon bolt of the

spindle. The side which you want to use has to face upwards.

Operating the different discs and blade

Reversible grating and shaving disc

For grating (i. e. carrots) use the grating and shaving disc. To

achieve finely grated results, the side with the arched blades has to

face upwards. To achieve finely grated flakes the side with the small

blades has to face upwards.
Reversible shredding disc - fine and coarse

To achieve fine and coarse shredding results use the shredding disc

(i.e. cucumber) and put it onto the top of the spindle. For coarse

shredding results, the side with the bigger arched blades has to face

upwards. For fine shredding results, the side with the smaller arched

blades has to face upwards.
Variable slicing blade

It allows foods to be sliced to a variety of thickness up to 5 mm. To adjust the blade you have

to turn the shaft which is located on the bottom side of the disc. For thinner slices turn the

shaft clockwise and for thicker slices turn the shaft counterclockwise.

Note: There are two holes in the disc to ease disassembling. Put your fingers through the

holes and slightly pull the disc upwards to remove it. Pay attention not to cut yourself.
Emulsifying disc

Use this disc for whisking, mixing, and emulsifying of liquids. It

serves for mixing drinks, beating creme and egg white, and prepa-

ring mayonnaise. Ensure to insert the emulsifying disc with the shaft

facing upwards!
