Frequently asked questions

This chapter lists the questions most frequently asked about the

appliance. If you cannot nd the answer to your question, contact the

Consumer Care Centre in your country.

Question Answer

Can I clean all

removable

parts in the

dishwasher?

Yes, all parts except the motor unit are dishwasher-

proof.

The appliance

does not work.

What should I

do?

Please check if you have plugged in the appliance.

Also check if the blender jar is assembled properly

and if the handle of the jar points to the right.

What does

‘pulse’ mean?

When you push the pulse switch to PULSE and hold

it in this position, the appliance runs at its highest

speed. As soon as you release the pulse switch, the

switch jumps back to its original position. When the

blender was set to PULSE from the pulse-activation

position P, it stops when you release the pulse switch.

When the blender operated at speed 1 to 4, it starts

to run again at this speed when you release the

pulse switch. The pulse switch gives you more

control over the processing job and is also very

useful when you want to process ingredients very

briey.

The pulse

switch does not

work. What

should I do?

Check if the appliance is plugged in and the speed

selector is in pulse-activation position P. You can also

use the pulse switch when the speed selector is set

to a speed between 1 and 4. The pulse switch does

not work when the speed selector is set to the off

position 0 or to speed 5.

Question Answer

What is the

AUTO setting

of the speed

selector for?

When the speed selector is set to AUTO, the

blender automatically speeds up to the maximum

speed within 15 seconds and then keeps running

at the maximum speed.

Can I pour

boiling hot

liquids into the

blender jar?

No, let the liquids or ingredients cool down to

80°C/175°F to avoid damage to the blender jar.

Why does the

motor produce

an unpleasant

smell during

processing?

It is very common for a new appliance to give off an

unpleasant smell or emit some smoke the rst few

times it is used. This phenomenon stops after you

have used the appliance a number of times. The

appliance may also give off an unpleasant smell or

emit some smoke if it has been used too long. In that

case, switch off the appliance and let it cool down

for 60 minutes.

The appliance

stopped

running because

the blades are

blocked. What

should I do?

Switch off the appliance and unplug it. Then use a

spatula to dislodge the ingredients that block the

blades. If you were processing a large quantity, pour

some of the ingredients out of the blender jar before

you switch on the blender again.
