Operating Instructions
The bamix M133 features two speed settings for optimal performance across various tasks.
- Speed 1 (Low): 8,000 RPM, ideal for delicate tasks like whipping cream, emulsifying sauces, or light blending.
- Speed 2 (High): 12,000 RPM, suitable for tougher tasks such as pureeing, crushing ice, or blending thicker mixtures.
Using the Blades:
- Multi-Purpose Blade (Chopping Blade):
This blade is designed for chopping, pureeing, and crushing. Use it for making smoothies, blending soups directly in the pot, or crushing ice. It is highly effective for processing both soft and hard ingredients.
- Whisking Blade (Aerating Blade):
The completely flat disc is used for aerating or whisking. This blade is perfect for whipping cream, creating stiff peaks from egg whites, or making light batters. For best results with aeration, use the low speed setting.
- Blending Blade:
This blade, featuring holes in the disc, is ideal for blending and emulsifying. Use it to make aioli, mayonnaise, or to emulsify your favorite salad dressings. It ensures smooth and consistent mixtures.
General Operation Tips:
- Always ensure the blade is fully immersed in the ingredients before starting the motor to prevent splashing.
- The unit is immersible past the stainless steel drive shaft up to where the white cone area begins to taper from the top. Do not immerse the motor housing.
- For optimal blending, move the bamix unit up and down gently within the mixture.
- When blending in the 600 ml beaker, ensure the beaker is placed on a stable, flat surface.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your bamix unit.
- Immediate Cleaning: After each use, unplug the unit. Remove the blade and rinse it under running water.
- Cleaning the Shaft: Immerse the stainless steel shaft (up to the white cone) in a container of warm, soapy water and briefly turn on the unit for a few seconds. This helps to dislodge any food particles.
- Wipe Down: Wipe the motor housing with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor housing in water.
- Drying: Ensure all parts are thoroughly dried before storing.
- Storage: Store the unit and blades in a dry place, ideally using the provided wall bracket.
