OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Caution! Do not use the device during the cooking process or when liquids are boiling.
• Pull the power plug (1) out of the power socket, after using the device. Clean the device immediately after
using it each time. Follow the directions in the chapter entitled CLEANING AND CARE.
Operating time
• The device is designed to be used for processing typical household amounts and soft or pre-cooked food.
Subjecting the device to severe strain such as using it to chop raw vegetables (carrots etc.) may lead to
overloading the motor. If this occurs, the motor will need to cool down to room temperature.
• It is recommended that you use the device for no longer than 10 seconds to process uncooked, hard foods.
Then, allow the device to cool down for 1 minute. Afterwards, you can operate the device again for 10
seconds, followed by a rest of 1 minute, etc.
• If the device heats up perceptibly, switch it off immediately and pull the power plug (1). Allow the device to
cool down completely (at least 30 minutes), before operating it again.
Tips
• Always start blending at a low speed. Increase the speed gradually as stated in the recipe.
• Refrigerated ingredients, such as butter and eggs are easier to blend, if they have been allowed to reach
room temperature in advance.
• Weather conditions, seasonal fluctuations in temperature, the temperature of the ingredients and their
properties vary from region to region and affect the blending time and the results achieved.
