Operating Instructions
The Bamix G200 features two speed settings for various tasks. Always ensure the blender is plugged into a 240-volt power outlet before use.
General Operation

Specific Applications
- Blending Soups and Sauces: Use the blending blade directly in the pot. The heat-resistant shaft allows for blending hot liquids.
- Whipping Cream and Egg Whites: Use the aerating blade in a narrow, tall container. Move the blender in a circular motion just below the surface to incorporate air.
- Chopping Nuts and Hard Ingredients: For best results, use the chopping blade with the Bamix processor attachment (sold separately) or in a suitable narrow container.
- Making Smoothies: Use the blending blade in a tall glass or container. Ensure sufficient liquid for smooth operation.
