OPERATION

NOTES

The appliance is equipped with a safety switch which prevents the appliance from turning on if the lid is not positioned correctly.
Always insert the blade unit before filling in the food.
If the blade unit does not turn or only turns slowly, pull the power plug out of the socket. Check whether there is any obstruction in the chopping bowl and remove it. Check whether the blade unit is positioned correctly and can move freely.

If the blade unit does not reach its full speed within a few seconds, pull the power plug out of the socket and take a part of the food out before continuing operation.
If necessary, move food back to the middle of the chopping bowl with the included scraper.
Even processing of food is reached by filling in pieces of the same size and not overfilling the chopping bowl beyond the MAX marking. Do not process more than 2500g of pork or more than 2400g of beef at a time. For vegetables and fruit, add a little water and don’t exceed 1/2 filling capacity.

If you want to puree food, it has to be cooked beforehand.

Press the blade unit down onto the pin inside the chopping bowl.
Prepare your food and fill it into the chopping bowl. Do not overfill.

Place the chopping bowl on an even, stable, and dry surface.
Place the lid on top of the chopping bowl. Ensure that it is placed correctly.

Connect the power plug to a suitable power outlet.
Hold the motor unit and the chopping bowl tightly and press button I or II to start the motor operation. The motor stops automatically when you release the button.
When your food reaches the desired consistency, release button I or II and unplug the appliance.

Take the motor unit off the lid, then remove the lid from the chopping bowl.
