The appliance can get damaged if there is too little water in the mixing bowl.
•
Make sure that there is enough water in the mixing bowl. The appliance
vaporises approx. 250 ml of water in 15 minutes.
•
Top up the water if necessary, especially if you have subsequently increased the
steaming time.
If the mixing bowl and mixing knife are in contact with water, other liquids or food
residues for a long time, they could get damaged.
•
Always clean the components directly after use.
•
Do not leave the mixing knife in water for a long time as this may damage the
gasket system of the knife bearing.
•
Because of variations in water quality, oxidation of parts may occur in the
mixing bowl when cooking food over a long period of time (slow cooking, sous-
vide or fermenting). Please therefore follow the instructions on adding special
ingredients (e.g. citric acid) to the cooking water.
Ensure that the mixing bowl and especially the contact pins underneath are
thoroughly dried after cleaning. If you use the mixing bowl when it is still wet, rust
could form inside the base unit.
•
Allow the mixing bowl to dry fully before inserting it into the base unit.
If the mixing knife is not correctly inserted and locked into place or the sealing ring
is damaged, moisture can get inside the appliance and damage the base unit.
•
Ensure that the sealing ring of the mixing knife is fitted to the knife bearing.
•
Ensure that the sealing ring on the mixing knife shows no signs of damage.
•
Ensure that the mixing knife is correctly inserted and locked into place before
filling the mixing bowl.
•
If liquid leaks or spills into the housing of the base unit, unplug the appliance
and contact the repair service.
If the butterfly whisk comes into contact with the mixing knife or other accessories
when the appliance is running, it could crack or break.
•
Ensure that the butterfly whisk is correctly attached to the mixing knife before
setting the speed.
•
Do not exceed speed 4 when the butterfly whisk is fitted.
•
Do not use the spatula when the butterfly whisk is fitted.
•
Do not add any ingredients that could damage or block the butterfly whisk.
The soft side of the spatula, in particular, can get damaged by the mixing knife.
•
Take care when using the spatula to press down food in the mixing bowl or to
scrape out the mixing bowl.
•
Never allow the spatula to come into contact with the sharp edges of the mixing
knife blades.
•
Only move the spatula in a clockwise direction when stirring or scraping out the
mixing bowl near the mixing knife.
