This appliance is intended for domestic use only. Use the appliance only for processing normal quantities of food and for normal amounts of time for domestic use. This appliance is suitable for mixing liquid or semi-solid food, for cutting / mincing raw fruit and vegetables, for puréeing food and for cutting deep-frozen food (e.g. fruit) or crushing ice cubes. It must not be used for processing other objects or substances. Additional applications are possible if the accessories approved by the manufacturer are used. Only use the appliance with approved genuine parts and accessories. Never use the accessory parts for other appliances. Only use the appliance indoors at room temperature and up to 2000 m above sea level.

Connect and operate the appliance only in accordance with the specifications on the rating plate.

Do not use the appliance if the power cord and/or appliance are damaged. Only our customer service may repair the appliance, e.g. by replacing a damaged power cord, in order to avoid hazards.

Do not place the appliance on or near hot surfaces, e.g. hobs. The power cord must not come into contact with hot parts or be pulled across sharp edges.

Never immerse the base unit in water or place it in the dishwasher. Do not steam-clean the appliance. Do not use the appliance with damp hands.

After each use, whenever the appliance is unsupervised, prior to assembly, prior to disassembly, prior to cleaning and in the event of an error, the appliance must always be disconnected from the mains.

Care should be taken when handling the sharp cutting blades, emptying the container and during cleaning.

Before replacing accessories or additional parts which move during operation, the appliance must be switched off and disconnected from the power supply.

Never place fingers in the attached blender. Never operate the appliance without a completely assembled blender or attached lid!

Do not remove or attach blender jug until the appliance has been switched off and the drive has come to a standstill. When the appliance has been switched off, the blade continues running for a short time.

If there is a power cut, the appliance remains switched on and will start up again when the power is restored.

Caution when processing hot liquids.

If processing hot liquids, steam escapes through the funnel in the lid. Add a maximum of 0.5 litres of hot or frothing liquid.

While working, always hold the lid firmly with one hand. However, do not place hand over the refill opening!

Do not process more than 500 ml of hot liquid in the blender jug!

Do not allow children to play with packaging material.

We recommend that the appliance is never switched on for longer than is necessary to process the ingredients. Do not operate at no-load.

It is essential to clean the appliance thoroughly after each use or after it has not been used for an extended period.

Never operate an empty blender. Always work with a completely assembled appliance. Screw the blender jug fully onto the motor block.

The appliance cannot be switched on until the blender jug has been turned firmly into place.

The appliance switches off automatically if the blender jug accidentally becomes detached during operation.

If the motor switches itself off while the appliance is being used, the overload protection feature has been activated. Possible causes include very large amounts of ingredients or the appliance being operated too long. If a safety system is activated, see “Troubleshooting”.

Risk of electric shock! Never immerse the motor block in water and never hold under running water and do not clean in the dishwasher.

Warning! Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. Surfaces may be damaged.

Tips:

Preferably clean the parts immediately after use. This will prevent residue from drying on and attacking the plastic (e.g. by essential oils in herbs).

If processing e.g. carrots and red cabbage, the plastic parts will become discoloured by a red film which can be removed with a few drops of cooking oil.

Cleaning the motor block:

Remove mains plug.

Wipe motor block with a damp cloth. If required, use a little detergent.

Then wipe dry.

Cleaning the blender:

The blender jug, lid and measuring cup are dishwasher-safe.

Tip: Pour a little water and washing-up liquid into the attached blender. Switch to setting Pulse for several seconds. Pour out the water and rinse the blender with clean water.
