supplied for this reason. However, the storage
lids are not suitable for use in a microwave oven.
Use of preparation beakers
• Placefoodinoneofthepreparation

• Screwthebladeunitontothebeaker.
• Placethebeakeronthedriveshaftonthe
base unit, so the pins on the beaker are lined
up with the depressions in the base unit.
• Holdthebaseunitdownwithonehandand

beaker down. You can also get the motor to run
continuously by pressing the beaker down and
turning it slightly in a clockwise direction until
the pins lock into place under the black edge
of the base unit. Stop the motor by turning the
beaker slightly in an anti-clockwise direction
to release the pins. See also “Preparation

Ifyouwanttoaddmoreingredientsasyougo
along, you can remove the cap from the lid by
turning the cap anti-clockwise and lifting it up.
Stop the multimixer before removing the cap to
avoidsplashes.Ifyouneedtoscrapeinsideor
empty the blender beaker, wait until the blade
has stopped completely before removing the lid!
Never use your fingers to scrape with.
Important!Neverleavethemultimixerrunning
for more than 1 minute at a time, as the motor
canoverheat.Ifthepreparationprocess
requires longer than this, take a short break
before starting the multimixer again. You should
also stop the multimixer at regular intervals to
check whether the items have been processed
sufficiently.Ifthemotoroverheatsandstops
running, unplug the multimixer and allow it cool
down for several hours before using it again.
Important!Ifthebladegetsstuckwhilethe
motor is running continuously, unplug the
multimixer immediately to prevent damage to
the motor. Remove the beaker fitted with the
blade unit from the base unit, and shake the
ingredientsinthebeakerthoroughly.Iftheblade
is still stuck, unscrew the blade unit from the
beaker and carefully turn the blade round using
yourfingers.Becareful-thebladeisextremely
sharp! Once you are sure the blade can go
round, fit the blade unit into the beaker, place
the beaker onto the base unit and try again.
Important!Ifthemultimixeristobeusedto
prepare 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 food between each type of food.
Preparation techniques

chopped or blended coarsely, then instead of
holding the beaker down, press it down briefly
and intermittently a number of times with
shortbreaksbetween.Takecarenottolock
the beaker into position, or the motor will run
continuously.
Shakingtechnique–Ifthebladeisnot
distributing the food properly in the beaker, you
can lock the beaker into position so the motor
is running continuously, lift the entire multimixer
up from the counter and shake it back and
forth a few times so the food shifts position in
thebeaker.Thenputthemultimixerbackon

careful when you use the shaking technique!
Hold both beaker and base unit firmly to prevent
them separating from each other while you are
shaking them.
