• Replace the lid (2) along with the top lid
(1) (Fig. G) and switch the mixer on.
• To work continuously, place the selector
(8) in position ‘1’, ‘2’.
- To work at a low speed, turn the
selector to position ‘1’.
- To work at a high speed, turn the
selector to position ‘2’.
• For functioning in discontinuous mode,
turn the selector to P and hold it on this

5. PRACTICAL ADVICE
When using the mixer for making drinks,
wash all ingredients well and cut them
into pieces so that they fit into the mixer
opening.
• For optimum results, it is best to mix
small rather than large quantities of
food, especially when the item in
question is very thick or heavy.
• Remove the top lid (1) from the jug lid
(2) in order to add ingredients to the jug
(3) while the motor is running.
• To avoid spillage, it is best to insert
a small quantity of food into the jug
through the lid opening, and then top up
little by little as the food is mixed.
• Do not fill the jug up to more than 2/3
of its capacity, since the action of the
blades may cause it to overspill.
• It is best to place liquid ingredients into
the jug before solid ones. The liquid
helps to mix the items more quickly and
at a lower speed.
• Mix the ingredients for short times
only (between 5 and 30 seconds).
Then check the consistency and
continue processing until you obtain the
consistency you require.
• If the consistency you require is not
obtained rapidly, stop the appliance by
turning the selector to ‘0’ and:
- Turn the selector to the P position a
few times in a row.
- Remove the jug lid and mix the food
items using a spatula.
- Reduce the quantity of food to be
mixed.
• All fruit should be peeled and chopped
and all stones, pips, etc. removed before
being placed in the jug.
• Some vegetables, such as tomatoes,
should also be peeled and chopped
before being processed.
• When you begin mixing, hold the mixer
lid down firmly.
• Remove any dampness or liquid on the
mixer base immediately, using kitchen
paper.
• Do not work with thick mixtures or heavy
food items. If the motor is unable to
work freely, it will stop. If this happens:
- Add a little liquid to the mixture.
- Set
to P mode.
- Stop the mixer for a few seconds
and use a spatula to clean the sides
of the jug and push the ingredients
towards the blades.
- Empty the jug a little.
NOTE: CUT ALL INGREDIENTS INTO
CUBES (OF APPROX. 2-3 CM) IN ORDER
TO ENSURE A UNIFORM MIX.
To mix ice, follow the steps outlined below:
• Insert the ice cubes into the jug.
• Replace the lid and press and hold P
until the mixture obtains a snow-like
texture.
NOTE: WHEN MIXING ICE, ALWAYS
HOLD THE JUG LID IN PLACE WITH
YOUR HAND.
• Always add a cup of liquid when mixing
ice.
6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
MAKE SURE THAT THE MIXER IS
SWITCHED OFF AND UNPLUGGED
BEFORE ADDING OR REMOVING ANY
OF THE PARTS.
• We recommend that you clean the
appliance immediately after use.
Remove the jug. Remove the lid and
blades before inserting your hand or
fingers into the jug in order to clean it.
• Never try to assemble or disassemble
the mixer for cleaning purposes without
first unplugging it from the mains.
• Use a small toothbrush (not provided) to
remove any food that may have become
