running.

If the blade unit gets stuck, unplug the appliance before you remove the ingredients that block
the blades.

appliance.
-
If food sticks to the wall of the chopper bowl, switch off the appliance and unplug it. Then use a
spatula to remove the food from the wall.

Built-in safety lock
This feature ensures that you can only switch on the appliance if the blender jar and lid, the mill
beaker or the chopper bowl and lid (specific types only) are assembled on the motor unit properly.
If the blender jar and lid, the mill beaker or the chopper bowl and lid are correctly assembled, the
built-in safety lock will be unlocked.
Motor circuit protector
The appliance is equipped with a motor circuit protector that switches off the motor if the motor
jams (which might occur during heavy processing jobs or if the appliance is not used according to
the instructions in the user manual). If this happens, first switch off and unplug the appliance and let
it cool down to room temperature. Then check if the quantity of ingredients you are processing
does not exceed the quantity mentioned in the user manual or if something is blocking the blade
unit.
Before first use
Thoroughly clean the parts that come into contact with food before you use the appliance for the
first time (see chapter 'Cleaning').
