Do not use the appliance without liquids. Starting the appliance without liquids could damage the jug.
Always fill up to the MIN level and not beyond the MAX level, both indicated inside the jug.
The appliance is in error status when the LED on the knob flashes and three acoustic signals are repeated twice.
The appliance displays an error status if the jug or whisk is not installed, the jug is removed during preparation or the cycle is started with an empty jug.
In the first two cases the cycle fails to start, while in the last two the cycle starts but stops after a few seconds.
- Insert the plug into the power outlet.
- The LED (8) flashes, after about 120 seconds of inactivity the appliance positions itself in stand-by and the LED turns off.
