Preparing for use
When all components have been cleaned as described
under “Cleaning”:
➩
Position the appliance such that, ...
– that the power cable y passes through the re-
cess at the rear of the appliance,
– the power plug is immediately accessible, so that
it can be quickly withdrawn in the event of
danger.
– that it is stable and not liable to slip, and such
that the suction cups find a firm hold so that the
appliance cannot tip over due to vibration.
– that the power cable y is not in the working
area and thus not presenting a risk of being inad-
vertently snagged and tipping the appliance
over.
Operation

Warning!
The motor switches itself off as soon as the mixing
jug
e is removed from the motor block u . It could
then be overlooked that the appliance is still swit-
ched on. The motor will thus start of its own accord
as soon as the mixing jug
e is replaced on it:
Therefore:
• First insert the power plug into the wall socket
when the mixer jug e is filled and mounted with
its lid fitted and closed.
• Before mounting the mixing jug always check to
see that the appliance is switched off or that the
power plug has been removed.
• Before removing the mixer jug e , switch the ap-
pliance off, remove the power plug and wait for
the motor to stop revolving.
Filling and mounting the mixer jug
➩
Take the mixer attachment e from the motor unit
u and remove the lid w .
➩
Fill the mixer attachment e and then press the
lid w firmly back onto the mixer attachment e .
Ensure that the pourer nose on the mixer attach-
ment
e is also closed.
➩
Insert the filling cap q into the lid opening and
secure it by turning it clockwise.
➩
Place the ready filled and sealed mixer jug e
onto the motor block u . Lightly turn the mixer
jug e until you can press it down. The motor
can start only when the mixer jug e is securely
positioned.
Selecting operating speeds
When the mixer jug e is filled, completely sealed
and securely fitted to the motor block u , you can
then switch the appliance on.
➩
Place the switch t on ...
– Level 1-3
for fluid or soft foodstuffs, for mixing, blending
and stirring
– Level 3-5
for firmer foodstuffs or for hacking
– Level Ice Crush/Clean
for short, powerful impulse operation, e.g. for
crushing icecubes or when cleaning. So as not
to overburden the motor, the switch
t does not
engage in this position. Hence, hold the switch
t in this position for short periods only.
Notice
Fill the mixer attachment e with a maximum of
180 g of ice cubes. If filled with more than this, the
appliance cannot optimally crush them.
