Safety switch
A special safety switch in the motor housing
ensures that the appliance can only be
operated if the blender jug is properly locked
in position.
Before removing the blender jug, make
sure that the rotary control is in position 0.
This also applies when fi tting the blender
jug to the motor housing. If the control is
not in its off-position (0), the motor will start
immediately.
Operation
∙ Fit the blender jug to the recesses in the
motor housing with its handle to the right.
∙ Put the liquid ingredients into the blender
jug. The jug has a maximum capacity of
1500 ml. To avoid possible foaming or
spilling when processing 'foamable' or
thin liquids such as milk, do not fi ll the jug
over the 1000 ml mark.
∙ Replace the lid so that the spout is
completely covered.
∙ To add ingredients during operation, the
stopper in the centre of the lid can be
removed by turning it in an anti-clockwise
direction and then lifting it off. Do not put
any objects into the blender jug while the
appliance is operating.
∙ Insert the plug into the wall outlet and use
the rotary control to select the required
power setting.
∙ Caution: do not operate when the
blender jug is empty. Do not fi ll it with dry
items only, such as nuts, almonds etc.
∙ After using the blender, switch off and
remove the plug from the wall socket.
Wait until the motor has come to a
complete standstill before removing the
blender jug.
Wind-up power cord storage
The power cord can be wound up for storage
on the underside of the unit. Unwind it
completely before operation.
Cleaning and care
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall
socket before cleaning the appliance.
∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the motor housing or the power
cord with liquids or immerse them. The
motor housing may be wiped with a
slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
∙ Do not use abrasives, harsh cleaning
solutions or hard brushes for cleaning,
and do not clean in a dish-washer.
∙ For cleaning after use, fi ll the blender
jug with approximately 1000 ml warm
water and a mild cleaning detergent. Let
the appliance run for a short period as
described in the section Operation. Then
rinse the blender jug, lid and stopper with
fresh water. All parts must me thoroughly
dried afterwards.
∙ If necessary, the sealing gasket on the lid
can be removed for cleaning. Before the
appliance is used again, the gasket must
be replaced in such a way that the cut-
outs in the gasket are positioned directly
over the openings in the lid.
