5. Operating Instructions

The Cecotec TitanGlass 1000 features a simple, intuitive operation with its ControlSpeed system.

1. Preparation: Ensure the unit is properly assembled and plugged in as described in the Setup section.
2. ControlSpeed System: To operate, simply press down on the top of the motor unit. The speed of the blades is regulated by the pressure you apply. A lighter press will result in a slower speed, while a firmer press will activate higher speeds for more intensive chopping or pulverizing.
3. Chopping/Slicing: For coarse chopping, use short, pulsing presses. For finer results, maintain continuous pressure.
4. Crushing/Pulverizing: The powerful 500W motor and titanium-coated blades are capable of crushing hard ingredients, including ice. Apply firm, continuous pressure for these tasks.
5. Monitoring: Observe the consistency of your ingredients through the transparent glass bowl. Release pressure to stop the operation.
6. Finish: Once desired consistency is achieved, release the pressure, unplug the appliance, and carefully remove the motor unit and lid before emptying the bowl.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your food chopper.

1. Unplug: Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
2. Disassemble: Carefully remove the motor unit, lid, and blade assembly from the glass bowl.
3. Clean Non-Electrical Parts: The glass bowl, lid, and blade assembly are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, wash them by hand with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
4. Clean Motor Unit: Wipe the motor unit with a damp cloth. Do NOT immerse it in water or any other liquid.
5. Blade Care: The titanium coating on the blades enhances hardness and maintains sharpness longer. Handle blades with extreme care due to their sharpness.
6. Storage: Once all parts are clean and dry, reassemble or store them in a safe place. The unit features a cable storage space for convenience.

9. User Tips

• Pre-cut Ingredients: For best results and to prevent overloading, cut larger ingredients into smaller, uniform pieces before placing them in the chopper.
• Don't Overfill: Adhere to the maximum capacity of the 1-liter glass bowl. Overfilling can lead to uneven chopping and strain the motor.
• Pulse for Control: Use short, quick presses (pulsing) for coarse chopping or to achieve a desired texture. Continuous pressure is best for finer results or pulverizing.
• Add Liquids Carefully: When processing ingredients with liquids, ensure the lid is very securely fastened to prevent splashes.
• Clean Immediately: Cleaning the bowl and blades immediately after use prevents food residue from drying and becoming harder to remove.
