Cord storage
You can store excess mains cord by pushing it
back into the cord storage compartment at the
back of the appliance (fig. 2).
Blender
Preparing the blender for use
- First wash up all the removable parts (refer to
section "Cleaning".)
- Place the jar on to the motor housing and turn in
the direction of the arrow until locked (fig. 3).
Do not force the handle of the jar!
- After putting the ingredients into the jar, place
the lid onto the jar and turn in the direction of
the arrow until locked (fig. 4).
For disassembling proceed in reverse order and
direction.
• The lid has two positions: one when preparing
recipes with filter accessory (‘sieve position’, fig.
5a) and one to prepare recipes without the filter
accessory (‘closed position’, fig. 5b).
Processing
- Set the selector to position I for operation
(fig. 6).
- To stop the motor set the selector to position O
(fig. 7).
Tips
• Liquid ingredients (e.g. oil for the preparation of
mayonnaise) can be poured through the small
aperture in the lid whilst the motor is running
(fig. 8).
• If blending is prolonged (max. 4 minutes) the
results will generally be finer. Dry ingredients,
however, should not be processed longer than
1 minute.
• Cut meat or other solid food into smaller pieces
before putting them into the blender jar.
• For best blending with solid ingredients feed a
series of small portions into the jar rather than
putting one large quantity into it.
• If the blending is not performed quickly, switch
off the appliance and
- switch the appliance on and off a few times, or
- stir the ingredients with a spatula (after you
have switched off the motor), or
- reduce the contents of the jar.
• For crushed ice drop the ice cubes into the jar
whilst the motor is running. Keep the lid on the
jar during processing.
• For tomato juice cut the tomatoes up quarters
and one by one drop the pieces into the jar
whilst the motor is running. Keep the lid on the
jar during processing.
Mill (only types HR 1701 and HR 1707)
Preparing the mill for use
- Put the ingredients in the inverted beaker
(fig. 9).
Process only dry ingredients. Do not fill the
beaker beyond the “MAX” indication.
- Pick up the blade unit by the safety ring
(fig. 10).
- Place the blade unit in the beaker. Take care
that all grooves fit the ribs inside the beaker.
Press and turn clockwise until the blade unit is
properly fixed (fig. 11).
- Turn the assembled mill upside down and screw
it onto the motor unit (fig. 12).
- After processing, unscrew the mill from the
motor housing by turning it anticlockwise.
- Place the mill upside down.
- Pull the safety ring out and turn it anti-
clockwise.
- Remove the blade unit.
