Amount of food and processing time
Food Maximum amount Time
Cream 500 ml 70 s – 90 s
Egg white 4 pieces 120 s
Sickle –shaped knife (E2) and chopping containers (Ea, Eb)
The knife is intended for chopping, mixing, blending all kinds of tough food (e.g. fruit,
vegetables, nuts, almonds, meat without bones, tendons and skin) or for preparing purée.
Do not use the knife for processing any dough! Be careful, knife edges are very sharp!
Use speed II for processing.
The maximum time of processing is 1 minute. Then wait for 10 – 15 minutes, which is
necessary for the drive unit to cool down.
Hold knife E2 on the upper plastic part, remove a possible protective lid and slide the knife
to the central shaft E1 inside the container E (Fig. 5). Put food into the container. Put the lid
E3 on the container so that the lugs on its edge snap into the moulded holes in the container
and secure the lid by clockwise movement. Insert the drive unit A onto the lid E3 so that it is
blocked in the lid. By pushing the button of the switch A1 you will start the drive unit. After
you have finished, switch off the drive unit. To remove the drive, push the blocking button A3
and remove the drive unit. Remove the lid E3 by opposite movement, remove the knife and
clean it.
Recommendation
– Before processing, cut bigger pieces of food into cubes of about 3 x 3 x 3 cm.
– Never crush very hard ingredients with the sickle–shaped knife, such as coffee beans,
nutmeg, ice cubes, etc.! The knife would be blunt soon.
– Hard ingredients (e.g. legumes, soya beans, etc.) should be soaked in water before
processing.
– The longer you process the food, the smoother the result will be.
– If you chop hard cheese or chocolate, work for a short time. It is because the ingredients
are heated excessively by chopping, they become softer and they can become lumpy.
