Installation and connection Place the food processor on a level dry worktop. The location must be close to an easily accessible household power socket 230V ~ 50Hz. Before first use Please rinse the complete accessories incl. work bowl, lid, and pusher in warm water with washing-up liquid before first use. Never immerse the motor block in water or other liquids. Please note that the processing blade as well as the slicing and shredding discs are extremely sharp (risk of injury). When in use for the first few minutes a slight odour may develop which disappears again very quickly and is completely harmless. This unit is fitted with protection against overheating. If the unit should cut out suddenly whilst in use, please set the switch to position "0". After approximately 15 minutes the unit has completely cooled down and is again ready to operate.

The processing blade Using the processing blade you can stir, knead or chop various different foods. Caution: The blades are extremely sharp! Fit the work bowl and snap it into place by turning (note markings). Then place the processing blade onto the drive axle until it snaps into place audibly. Now you can fill the work bowl with the ingredients. When making a dough, it is recommended to fill in first the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, or similar) and then the other ingredients (eggs, fat, milk, or similar). Finally, fit the cover with the pusher and snap this into place by turning (note marking). Set the food processor to the required performance level (note the table on page 10). If the dough is finished, switch off the food processor (0). After the motor has come to a complete standstill, remove the cover with the pusher by turning and lifting off. Carefully remove the processing blade. Release the work bowl by turning and use the spatula to fill the dough into another container for further processing.

Fit the cover with the pusher and snap this also into place by turning (note marking). Remove the protective cover on the motor housing by turning and lift-off. Now take the blender and screw it down in the motor housing until the markings match (line and point). Now place the required ingredients into the blender (but not more than up to the max. fill height). Now firmly fit the lid of the blender (turn in an anticlockwise direction) and switch the food processor to the required performance level (please note the table on page 10). When blending is in progress, you can use the small aperture in the lid to carefully fill in additional ingredients. Please note that the maximum filling volume is not exceeded. After the motor has come to a complete standstill, you can remove the blender and fill the contents into a corresponding container (pot, carafe, or bowl).
