SAFETY FEATURES
Additional Power Switch
An additional power switch at the rear of the appliance enhances safety during
operation. The appliance is working with very sharp blades at high speed causing
severe injuries and damage, when touched with your hands or any foreign objects
during operation. When opening the cover of the juicer for removing excessive pulp
from the juicing sieve or opening of lid of the mixing jug to add further ingredients
or for pushing down the food from the inner walls of the mixing jugs, always turn
the speed selection dial to "OFF" and switch off at the power switch, before unplug-
ging the appliance. This will guarantee that the motor cannot start accidentally and
unexpectedly.
Safety Interlocks
Various safety interlocks ensure correct and safe operation of the Multi Juicer and protect
you form injuries and damage, if the appliance is not assembled and operated correctly.
• To avoid the risk of injuries caused by the drive rotor, the motor will not operate
without a processing system installed completely, firmly, and correctly.
• Juicing system: the juice collector, juicing sieve, and juicer cover must be inserted
correctly and the safety locking arm must be fixed in the upper closed position to
hold the parts securely in place.
• Systems for Mixing and Grinding: when mounting the blade assembly without a
glass container (mixing jugs or grinding cup), the motor will not operate. For opera-
tion, the processing system must be assembled completely, correctly and leak-free.
Additionally, the system must be locked securely in place on the motor base. This
way, the processing system will not turn loose due to vibrations during operation.
The appliance will not operate, if even one of the safety interlocks assigned to the used
processing system is not closed correctly. Do not attempt to inactivate the safety interlocks.
CAUTION: If the motor does not start when selecting a speed, always switch
off the appliance before checking, which safety interlock of the appliance is not clo-
sed correctly. When in operational mode (display is illuminated), the motor will start
agitating IMMEDIATELY as soon as the affected safety interlocks are engaged.
Self-Resetting Overheat Protection Device
If overheating occurs, the appliance will automatically stop operation at once, which
safeguards against overheating of the motor and ensures an elongated working life
of the motor. If the overheat protection device is triggered, switch off the appliance
completely (turn the selection dial to "OFF" and switch off at the rear power switch),

remove the power plug from the mains power supply and leave the motor cool down
by waiting approx. 30 minutes. Overheating may be caused by
• too much food in the processing system. Always observe the MAX filling levels
of the various processing systems as given in chapter 'Technical Specifications'.
When juicing, do not push down your food with too much pressure. Take out
some food and try again.
• too hard ingredients or too much fibres obstructing the processing system. Maybe
another processing system/blade assembly is required. Please observe the recom-
mends given in section 'Selecting the Optimum Processing System'.
• the appliance has been operated continuously for an elongated time. Especially
with the mixing or grinding systems, the appliance will process your food within
seconds. It is better to avoid over-processing. However, if an elongated proces-
sing time is really required, you need to make sufficient brakes.
• hard ingredients or too much fibres are gridlocked within the knives and block the drive.
Remove the used processing system from the motor base and remove the obstacle (see:
'Operation' and 'Care and Cleaning'). Perhaps, you need to use another processing
system for processing your food (see: 'Selecting the Optimum Processing System').
Tip: You may use the required time for cooling down (approx. 30 min) to remove
any obstacles and blockages in the used processing system and preparing another
portion of your food. After solving the problem and leaving the motor cool down,
you can reactivate the appliance quite as normal.
Important: For performing the reset, the appliance MUST be unplugged from the
power outlet.
Electronic Overload Protection
The Multi Juicer will automatically stop operation, if the motor is stalled for more than
10 seconds. Either too much food is being processed at a time or the pieces are
too large or too hard.
Switch off the motor (selection dial to "OFF", power switch to "O") and unplug the appli-
ance. Remove the obstacle. Perhaps, remove some food from the processing system or
cut your food into smaller pieces of even size. Process your food in smaller portions.
Thereafter, you may re-assume operation quite as normally.
