WARNING

There is a green status indicator light on the

control panel of the motor unit. If this green light

does not come on, consult the relevant paragraph.

A ﬂashing green light means that the conditions

for the operation have not all been met. Check

that the bowl, lid arm and lid are all correctly

positioned. As soon as the light stops ﬂashing

and stays on, you can use your machine.

(though not with a power washer).

IMPORTANT

Like the bowl and lid, the blade assembly should

also be removed for cleaning after use.

Always allow all metal parts, especially knives,

to dry completely on a plastic rack before assem-

bling components for storage to avoid corrosion.

IMPORTANT

Check that your detergent is suitable for cleaning

the plastic parts.

Certain washing agents are too alkaline (e.g.

high levels of caustic soda or ammonia) will

rapidly deteriorate plastic parts.

The control system requires the lid be opened and

closed, once after switching your appliance on.

This sequence will check the correct operation of

the lid arm safety switch. At this stage, if all the

conditions are met for operation, the light will

stop ﬂashing and stay on.
