Fig. 1

3) Fit the blade holder 7 with the emulsifying disk w onto the

guide axle 0.

4) Pour in the cream.

5) Place the lid 5 on the bowl 9 in such a manner that the sealing

ring 6 rests on the edge of the bowl 9 and the blade holder 7

protrudes through the opening in the lid 5.

One of the two catches e on the inner ring of the lid 5 should

point to the front, i.e. towards you.

6) Place the motor unit 3 onto the center of the lid 5 so that the

logo is facing you. The two catches e on the inner ring of the

lid 5 now lock into the two apertures r on the underside of the

motor unit 3. If the catches e do not immediately slip into the

apertures r on the underside of the motor unit 3, turn the motor

unit 3 slightly, until it rests ﬂush on the lid 5 and the catches e

have slipped into the apertures r.

7) Plug the appliance into a power outlet.

To whip cream, it should be well chilled before whipping (max.

8°C / 46.4 °F / refrigerator temperature).

For 200ml / 6.76 oz of whip cream, we recommend whipping it

for approx. 30-40 seconds at speed level I.

For 400ml / 13.53 oz of whip cream, we recommend whipping

it for approx. 40 seconds at speed level I.

The whipping time can vary depending on the quantity and vari-

ous inﬂuences, such as the fat content of the cream or the outside

temperature! Observe the cream while you are whipping it and

adjust the whipping time to ﬁt your needs.
