Practical hints
- To avoid spillages, when blending or whipping, the bowl should be 2/3 full at most.
- The preparation must at least cover the lower part of the blender shaft for the mix to be
successful.
- Remove bone and gristle from meat before putting it in the bowl.
- When blending hot preparations, remove the cooking utensil (eg saucepan) from the heat source.
- Leave hot food to cool for a while before putting them in the bowl.
- Do not blend food and liquids at a temperature higher than 80°C (175°F).
- For fibrous foods (leeks, celery, asparagus, etc.) clean the blender shaft regularly during use
while following the safety instructions for disassembly and cleaning.
- For fruit-based preparations, first cut up the fruit and remove pips and stones.
- Do not use the appliance with hard food like coffee beans, ice cubes, sugar, cereals and
chocolate.
- Do not use the blender shaft or the whisk in the mini-grinder bowl.
- After using any of the accessories, leave the unit to rest for 60 seconds before making another
heavy food preparation.

Cleaning
- CAUTION: the blades are extremely sharp.
- Always disconnect the appliance before cleaning it.
- Do not put the appliance, power supply cord or plug into water or any other liquid.
- Never put the motor unit (A), the attachment unit for the whisk (F) or the mini-grinder lid (I1) in
the dishwasher.
- Never immerse these parts in water or put them under the tap. Clean with a moist sponge.
- You can clean the blender shaft (E) (knife facing upwards), whisk (G) (whisk side facing
upwards), graduated mixing (H), blade (I2) and the mini-grinder bowl (I1) in the dishwasher.
- We advise you to clean the blender shaft immediately after each use. If the plastic parts become
discoloured by food like carrots, rub them with a cloth soaked in cooking oil and then clean as
usual.
