ASSEMBLING AND DISASSEMBLING THE APPLIANCE
■ Before you start assembling or disassembling the appliance, check that the
motor unit A12 is turned off and disconnected from the power socket and that
the rotating parts have come to acomplete stop .
1. Assembling and disassembling the blending jar
1.1 Insert the blade assembly A6 into the attachment collar A5 . On to the blade
assembly A6 place the sealing ring A7 , and ensure that it has properly
adhered along the entire perimeter of the blade assembly A6 .
1.2 Place the attachment collar A5 with the inserted blade assembly A6 and
sealing ring A7 against the blending jar A4 from underneath. Screw the
attachment collar A5 to the blending jar A4 and tighten firmly .
1.3 Into the hole in the lid A2 , place the cap A1 and turn it clockwise to secure it
in place. When you have placed all the ingredien ts into the blending jar A4 ,
close it with the assembled lid. The lid needs to be properly pushed down
along the entire perimeter so that it adheres well t o the edge of the blending
jar A4 .
1.4 When disassembling the blending jar, proc eed in the reverse sequence.

2.1 Place the motor unit A12 on an even, dry surface, for example on a kitchen
countertop. Place the assembled blending jar on to the mot or unit A12 and
press it down to secure it to the mot or unit A12 . The assembled blending

A4. Firmly close the blending jar A4 using the lid accor ding to the instructions
in chapter Assembling and disassembling the appliance.
Note:
The maximum capacity of the blending jar A4 is 1.5 l. W e do not
recommend filling the blending jar with an amount of fluid great er than
1.2 l. Fluids that increase in v olume while blending are best prepared in
smaller batches.
4. Connect the power cord to the po wer socket and set the speed dial A11 to the
required speed level. We recommend first setting a slower speed to allow the
ingredients to mix together . Then set a higher speed as needed. While blending,
always use your hand to hold down the lid A2 fr om above. The pulse level is
appropriate when you wish to briefly blend ingr edients at the highest speed. T o
start the pulse level, press button A8 and hold it down as long as you want to
blend at the highest speed. Once you release the butt on A8 , the pulse function
automatically switches off .
Note:
The pulse button A8 is functional even when the speed dial A11 is set
to OFF .
Attention:
The maximum operating time is 2 minutes. Do not leav e the appliance
in continuous operation for longer than indicated abo ve. Then allow
the appliance to cool down for 2 minut es. When proc essing hard food
or liquids with a very thick consistency, do not leave the appliance in
continuous operation for longer than 1 minute .
5. Af ter removing the cap A1 , you can add f ood or fluids into the blending jar A4
while blending. T o remove the cap A1 , turn it counter-clockwise and take it off.
The cap A1 can also be used as areceptacle for adding ingr edients.

ADVICE AND TIPS FOR BLENDING
■ First cut food with afirm consistency such as fruit and vegetables into smaller
pieces measuring 2 to 3 cm and only then blend it.
■ First blend a smaller amount of ingredients and gradually add the remaining
ingredients through the opening in the lid A2 while blending . In this way, you
will achieve better results than by adding all ingr edients into the blending jar
A4 at once.
■ If you need to blend food of a solid consistenc y together with liquids, we
recommend that you first blend the food with asmaller amount of the liquids.
Then gradually add the remaining liquids through the hole in the lid A2 while
blending. While blending, always use your hand to hold do wn the lid A2 from
above.
■ T o blend ver y thick liquids, we recommend using the pulse lev el so that the
blade assembly A6 does not get jammed too often. Start the blender repeatedly
in short intervals.
■ Ice cubes must be processed immediately upon being remo ved from the
freezer . When the ice starts to melt, the ice cubes will stick together and it will
not be possible to blend them.
