Safety fuse
The control lamp 3 flashes to indicate that the 
motor is overloaded and will soon switch off. 
As soon as the safety fuse has switched off the 
motor, the control lamp 3 is constantly lit up. 
Turn the appliance off with the motor switch 4 
(switch position «off/0»). Wait approximately 
15 minutes to allow the motor to cool off. Then 
switch the appliance on again using the motor 
switch 
4 (position «I/on»). If the control lamp 3 
should light up again and the motor does not 
start, repeat the cooling procedure as 
described above.

switched itself off because of an overload, the 
appliance can only be switched back on with 
the motor switch 4 if it had been switched off 
(position «off/0») with this switch before.
Speed regulator
It is recommended to select the speed first with 
the variable, electronic speed regulator 6 and 
then switch on the appliance in order to work 
with the desired speed right from the beginning.

Pulse mode
The pulse mode is useful for the following 
applications:
• Carefully adding flour to doughs so as not to 
affect their creaminess.
• Adding whipped eggs or cream to more solid 
food.
• Chopping delicate and soft food, e.g. eggs, 
onions.
Turn the motor switch 
4
 to the «auto.pulse»
position in order to start the automatic pulse 
mode. This causes short bursts of operation 
of identical length at the chosen speed. The 
function «auto.pulse» is switched off by 
switching the appliance off (motor switch 4 
at «off/0»).
The manual pulse mode «pulse
•
» is operated 
by pressing the button 5 when the appliance is 
switched off (motor switch on «off/0»). Using 
the manual pulse mode, you can vary the length 
of the pulses. The appliance operates at the 
chosen speed as long as the button 
5 is 
pressed down. When the button is released, the 
motor will stop.
Caution: max. 15 pulses per minute
Attaching and removing the dough 
bowl and the lid
Please clean all parts before using for the first 
time (see paragraph «Cleaning»).
For safety reasons, always carry or lift the 
appliance with both hands.
Ö Place the bowl l onto the motor block 1 so 
that the markings on the bowl match those 
on the motor block. Turn the bowl clockwise 
until it clicks.
Ü/á Push the attachment needed as far as 
possible onto the drive shaft in the bowl.
à Place the lid   on the bowl so that the arrow 
on the lid matches the arrow on the bowl l. 
Then turn the lid clockwise until the nozzle 
(lug) on the lid enters the safety lock on the 
motor block and audibly snaps into place. 
To remove, turn the lid anti-clockwise.
The filling tube j has to be inserted into the 
lid’s opening so that the higher rim is facing the 
inside. It allows more convenient adding of 
ingredients while processing.
Double safety lock: The motor can only be 
started if both the bowl 
l and the lid   are 
locked into place. The lid can only be removed 
from the bowl, if the motor is switched off.
When the appliance is switched off, turn the lid 
 anti-clockwise and lift it off
. Take out the 
attachment. Turn the bowl l anti-clockwise to 
lift it off.
Cleaning
Always switch off the motor first and then 
unplug the appliance before cleaning.
Clean the motor block 1 with a damp cloth 
only.
Some types of food (e.g., carrots) can lead to 
discolouration; wipe off first with cooking oil 
before washing.
The kneading attachment 7 and the drive arm 
8 should only be cleaned manually. Do not 
immerse in water. All other parts can be washed 
in the dishwasher at a maximum temperature of 
65 °C.
Parts which are difficult to reach, e.g., the 
indentation on the inside of the lid   should be 
well cleaned with the spatula 9 (e) and a brush 
if necessary.
Do not use sharp objects for cleaning.
Care and cleaning instructions for 
the stainless steel dough bowl
• Rinse in hot soapy water before first use.
• Rinse in hot soapy water as soon as possible 
after use, especially after processing very 
salty food.
• Stubborn food residues should be soaked 
and removed with a sponge (do not use a 
scouring pad) or brush.
• When cleaning in a dishwasher, remove the 
stainless steel bowl from the dishwasher as 
soon as the cleaning program is finished in 
order to prevent stains from remaining water 
drops. Be carefully to avoid an overdose of 
cleaner and decalcifier.
• Carefully dry the bowl before storing it away. 
Kneading
The kneading attachment 7 is specially 
designed for making yeast dough, pasta and 
pastries. It is not suitable for making cake 
dough. For cake dough, use the mixing 
attachment H.
Place all ingredients into the dough bowl l 
after the kneading attachment has been 
assembled.
Yeast dough (bread, cake)
Up to 1.5 kg flour plus ingredients:
Speed 2–7 3 to 5 minutes
First, place the flour and then all other 
ingredients – except milk – into the dough bowl, 
including raisins, candied peel and almonds.
