How to operate your whisk

Use the whisk only for whipping cream, beating egg whites and mixing sponges and ready-mix desserts.

•Only whip up to 400 ml chilled cream (min. 30 % fat content, 4 – 8 °C).

•Only whip up to 4 egg whites.

The chopper is perfectly suited for chopping meat, cheese, onions, herbs, garlic, carrots, walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds etc.

For chopping hard goods (e.g. hard cheese), use the on/off turbo switch C .

Before chopping...

•pre-cut meat, cheese, onions, garlic, carrots (see table page 5)

•remove stalks from herbs, un-shell nuts

1.Caution: Carefully remove the plastic cover from the blade. The blade is very sharp!

Cleaning

Clean the motor part A and the whisk gear box I with a damp cloth only. The chopper gear box (a) may be rinsed under the tap.

Do not immerse the gear box (a) in water. All other parts can be cleaned in the dishwasher. However, after processing very salty food, you should rinse the blades right away. Also, be careful not to use an overdose of cleaner or decalcifier in your dishwasher.

When processing foods with colour (e.g. carrots), the plastic parts of the appliance may become discoloured. Wipe these parts with vegetable oil before placing them in the dishwasher.
