Operating Instructions

General Operation

Ensure the appliance is correctly assembled and the lid is locked.
Add ingredients to the bowl. For solid ingredients, use the feeder tube and pusher.
Select the desired speed using the control dial:
- Speed 1: For lighter tasks and softer ingredients.
- Speed 2: For heavier tasks and harder ingredients.
- Pulse Function: Turn the dial to 'PULSE' and hold for short bursts of maximum power. Release to stop. This is ideal for controlled chopping or mixing.
After use, turn the dial to 'OFF' and unplug the appliance.
To open the lid, press the one-click release button and twist the lid counter-clockwise.

Specific Functions

Chopping/Mincing: Use the chopping blade. Add ingredients directly to the bowl. Use the pulse function for coarse chopping or continuous speed for finer results.

Emulsifying: Use the emulsifying disc. Add liquids or ingredients for mayonnaise, whipped cream, etc. Operate at a continuous speed until desired consistency is achieved.
Mixing (with Blender System): This appliance includes a blender system for mixing. Follow the specific instructions for the blender attachment if it is a separate component or integrated with the main bowl.
