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 «O»). 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.
Important: lf the motor has automatically 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 «O») 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 «•• ••» position in order to start the automatic pulse mode. This causes short bursts of operation of identical length at the chosen speed. The function «•• ••» is switched off by switching the appliance off (motor switch 4 at «O»).
The manual pulse mode « » is operated by pressing the button 5 when the appliance is switched off (motor switch on «O»). 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 pres- sed 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.
ÖPlace the bowl lonto the motor block 1so 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.
àPlace the lid 11 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
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 11 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
11
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
8should 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 11 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 careful to avoid an overdose of cleaner and decalcifier.
•Carefully dry the bowl before storing it away.
