Preparing for use
1 Let hot ingredients cool down before you process them with the appliance (max.
temperature 80°C/175°F).
2 If you use the hand blender or the chopper, cut large ingredients into cubes of approx. 2cm
before you process them. If you use the food processor with the slicing/shredding disc or the
cube cutter, cut the ingredients into pieces that fit into the feeding tube. Take care that the
chunks are not too big to prevent them from getting stuck in the tube.
3 Assemble the appliance properly.

you cannot adjust the speed with the speed ring.
