Operating Instructions
The Moulinex 1.2.3 Ultimate operates with a simple pulse action. This allows for precise control over the consistency of your ingredients.
- Pulse Operation: With the appliance correctly assembled and plugged in, press down firmly on the top of the motor unit to activate the blades. Release to stop.
- Control Consistency: Use short, quick pulses for coarse chopping or longer pulses for finer results. Monitor the ingredients through the transparent bowl.
- Processing Time: Do not operate continuously for more than 30 seconds. Allow the appliance to rest for at least 2 minutes between cycles to prevent overheating.
- Adding Liquids: For blending or mixing semi-liquids, ensure the hermetic lid is securely in place to prevent splashes.
- Using the Beater (if applicable): If your model includes a beater accessory, replace the chopping blades with the beater and follow the same pulse operation for whipping or mixing lighter ingredients.
- After Use: Once desired consistency is achieved, release the motor unit, unplug the appliance, and wait for the blades to completely stop before disassembling.
Caution: Never attempt to remove the lid or bowl while the blades are still moving. Always unplug the appliance before disassembling.
