(See Fig. 14).
• The accessories, the detachable common
spindle and the parts of the lid may become
slightly discoloured with certain ingredients
such as curry, carrot juice, etc; this does not
represent any danger for your health or for
the operation of your appliance. To avoid this,
clean these parts immediately after use.
IMPORTANT - 'MAKING YOUR APPLIANCE SECURE' INSTRUCTIONS ( 'SECU' )
Your appliance is equipped,
as standard, with electronic
motor protection to gua-
rantee its longevity. This
electronic security safe-
guards against incorrect
use; in this way, the motor
is properly protected.
In cases of extreme use which disregard the
recommendations in the instructions (see para-
graph 'FIRST USE': potentially excessively large
quantities and/or abnormally long use and/or
preparing different recipes at short intervals),
the electronic protection will be triggered to pre-
serve the motor; in this case, the appliance will
stop functioning and the message 'SECU' will be
displayed on the LCD screen of the control panel
to indicate that the appliance is temporarily out
of service.
If 'SECU' is displayed on the control panel and
your appliance stops working, proceed accor-
dingly:
• Leave your appliance plugged in, do not press
the '0/1' switch (H).

• Before using your bowl set (D), make sure that
the electrical contacts under the bowl are clean
and dry.
• To preserve the appearance and service life of
the lid of your appliance, hand wash it. Do not
use the abrasive side of the sponge to avoid
scratches.
• To not adversely affect the materials of the
bowl (D), ensure that you follow your dishwas-
her's instructions for use, do not increase doses
of salt or dishwasher products.
• Please refer to the recommendations in the
instructions and readapt your use of the ap-
pliance (see paragraph 'FIRST USE': amount of
ingredients/recipe preparation time/tempera-
ture/type of accessories).
• Allow the motor to cool down for half an hour.
• Restart the appliance by clicking on the 'Start /
Stop/Reset' button for two seconds (B5).
Your appliance is now ready to be used again.
For further information, customer service de-
partment is at your disposal (see details in the

SOLUTIONS
Set the steam cap to 'high steam' (turn
towards you); this setting allows a
maximum amount of steam to build up in
the bowl for all types of steam cooking
(soups, etc.), so there will be more steam
in the bowl and the cooking process will
be more efficient.
The 'low steam' position allows a maximum
amount of heat and steam to be dispersed
into the bowl for all steam cooking
(soups, etc.). This position also helps to
avoid splashing during cooking.
The 'high steam' position allows a
maximum amount of condensation to
escape and results in dishes or sauces
with a better consistency (risotto, cream
desserts, sauces, etc.).
Cooking times are for information purposes only;
in most cases it ensures that the food is properly
cooked.
However, certain conditions may affect the
cooking time:
- size of the vegetables (cut or uncut)
- quantity of ingredients in the basket
- type of vegetables, their ripeness
- quantity of water in the bowl, which
corresponds to the measurement (0.7l).
If the food is not properly cooked, you can set an
additional cooking time.
You can also use the manual mode by selecting
a temperature of 130°C and the cooking
time according to the quantity and type of
ingredients.
Plug the appliance into an electrical
socket.
Move the switch to position 1.
Check that the bowl or the lid are correc-
tly positioned and locked according to the
diagrams in the instruction manual.
Place the appliance on a flat surface.
Reduce the quantity of ingredients pro-
cessed.
Check that you are using the recom-
mended accessory.
