USING YOUR KITCHEN MACHINE
•Fit the required tools, and place the ingredients into the kitchen machine as described below.
•To start the kitchen machine, turn the on/off button
(7) to the required position
o Always use high speeds for whisking in the mixing bowl (4) or chopping in the blender (9).
o Use medium speed for kneading.
o Increase the speed if the machine has difficulty kneading the ingredients.
o If the contents of the mixing bowl may splatter (e.g. when whisking cream), you should start at a low speed and increase the speed, if necessary, once the contents have stiffened slightly.
•To use the kitchen machine for brief food preparation, turn the on/off button to position P (pulse function). The kitchen machine will run at top speed as long as you hold the button down in that position, and will stop when you release the button, which then automatically returns to position 0.
•When using the blender, you should stop the machine at regular intervals and check whether the food has been adequately blended.
Important! If using the kitchen machine to chop different types of food (e.g. raw meat followed by vegetables, or egg followed by fruit), you must wash the parts that come into contact with the food between each type of food.
Using the blender
•Remove the safety cover (6) from the upper section. This is done by turning the lock knob
•Fit the blender onto the blender shaft with the handle at a forward angle towards the right, and turn it clockwise until it locks into place, and the black line at the bottom of the blender is level with the black line on the upper section.
•Place the food in the blender.
o Fill the blender with a maximum of 1.2 l liquid, but only up to 600 ml if the liquid is hot.
o Do not place dry substances in the blender before starting it; add them little by little through the hole in the lid while the blender is running.
o Spices such as caraway and cloves should not be chopped in the blender, as they may damage the plastic parts.
•Fit the blender lid (10) onto the blender.
•Start the kitchen machine. Caution! Never press the release button for the upper section (1) while the blender is running!
•If you want to add more ingredients as you go along, you can remove the cap (11) from the lid by turning it clockwise and lifting it off. Stop the machine before removing the cap to avoid splashes. Fit the cap onto the lid by placing it over the lid so the pins of the cap fit into the holes in the lid, and turn the cap clockwise until it clicks into place.
•If you need to scrape inside or empty the blender, wait until the blade has stopped completely before you remove the lid! Use the spatula (13), never your fingers.
•Remove the blender, and fit the safety lid. Then turn the lock knob clockwise until the arrow is in line with the closed padlock symbol.
•Important! We do not recommend using the blender to crush ice cubes or frozen berries.
Using the mixing bowl
•The mixing bowl cannot be used unless the safety cover or blender is fitted over the blender shaft.
•Press the release button for the upper section. The upper section tilts up.
•Fit the mixing bowl on the base (5). You may need to turn it slightly before it slots into place.
•Place the food in the mixing bowl.
•Fit the required whisk (14 or 15) or dough hooks (12) in the holes on the underside of the upper section. o The dough hooks are used for heavy dough, minced meat or other demanding kneading jobs.
o The flat whisk (14) is used to mix lighter types of dough.
o The round whisk (15) is used for whisking cream, egg whites, etc.
•The tools should be fitted into the holes marked with the same colour as their shafts. The dough hooks, for example, should be fitted in the black and the grey hole. Do not fit both whisks at the same time, and do not fit the dough hooks together with either of the whisks. You may need to turn the tools slightly before they slot right into the holes and sit securely.
•Lower the upper section so it clicks into place.
•Start the kitchen machine. The tools and mixing bowl will turn.
•If you need to scrape inside the mixing bowl, wait until the tools have stopped completely. Use the spatula, never your fingers.
