Intended use

This appliance is intended for domestic use only. Use the appliance only for processing normal amounts of food and for normal amounts of time for domestic use. Do not exceed permitted maximum quantities (See "Application examples").

The appliance is suitable for mixing, kneading and beating food. The appliance must not be used for processing other substances or objects. Additional applications are possible if the accessories approved by the manufacturer are used. Only use the appliance with approved genuine parts and accessories. Never use the accessory parts for other appliances.

Only use the appliance indoors at room temperature and up to 2000 m above sea level.

Safety systems

Start lock-out

See "Operating positions" table.

The appliance can be switched on in pos. 1 and 3 only:

• when the bowl (11) has been inserted and turned until it locks into place.

Restart lock-out

If the power is interrupted, the appliance remains switched on but the motor does not start running again when the power is restored. To switch the appliance on again, turn the rotary switch to P, then switch on.

Overload protection

If the motor switches itself off while the appliance is being used, the overload protection feature has been activated. A possible cause may be that too much food was processed at one time.

If a safety system is activated, see "Troubleshooting".

The appliance requires no maintenance.

Before operating the appliance, attach the tool / accessory to the correct drive and in the correct position and place in the operating position according to this table. The swivel arm must be engaged in every operating position.

Note
The swivel arm features an "Easy Armlift" function which supports the upwards movement of the swivel arm.

Selecting the operating position:

• Press the Release button and move the swivel arm. Support movement with your hand.
• Move the swivel arm until it engages in the required position.

* Insert / remove whisk, stirrer or kneading hook. Add large quantities of ingredients.

Operation

Risk of injury!
Do not insert mains plug until all preparations for working with the appliance are complete.

Attention!
Do not operate the appliance without an accessory/tool in the operating position. Do not operate the appliance empty. Do not expose appliance or accessories to heat sources. Parts are not microwave safe.

• Before operating the appliance and accessories for the first time, clean thoroughly; see "Cleaning and servicing".

In these instructions for use the recommended reference values for the operating speed refer to appliances with a 7 setting rotary switch. For appliances with a 4 setting rotary switch you can find the values in brackets after the values for a 7 setting rotary switch.

These operating instructions contain a sticker with reference values for the operating speed of the appliance when using the tools or accessories. We recommend attaching this sticker to the appliance

(Fig. C).

Preparation

• Place the base unit on a smooth, clean surface.
• Pull out the power cord (Fig. D).
  
  MUM52../MUM54..
  Cord store:
  Pull out cable to the required length.
  
  MUM55../MUM56..
  Automatic cord winder:
  Pull out the cord in one go to the required length (max. 100 cm) and slowly release; the cord is locked.
  
  Reducing the cord length: Pull gently on the cord and allow it to roll up to the required length. Then gently pull the cord again and slowly release; the cable is locked.
  
  Do not twist the cord when inserting it. If the appliance features an automatic cord winder, do not insert the cord manually. If the cord jams, pull out the cord all the way and then allow it to wind up.
• Insert the mains plug.

Bowl and tools

Risk of injury from the rotating tools While the appliance is operating, never place fingers in the mixing bowl. Attach the cover (12) before operating the appliance! Do not change tools until the drive has come to a standstill - when the appliance is switched off, the drive continues running briefly and stops in the tool change position. Do not move the swivel arm until the tool has come to a standstill.

Always secure unused drives with protective drive covers.

Attention!
Use bowl with this appliance only.
