9
Safety measurements
The unit is equipped with safety mea-
surements that prevent basic operating
errors.
Overow protection
When properly lled with the correct
amount of water and ingredients an
overow during cooking cycles is very
unlikely. However, should it happen
then an impending overow via a sen-
sor is detected and heating is stopped
immediately.
Closed system
The power does not turn on when the
top has been screwed into the original
Vegimat-pot.
The contacts in the handle of the jug
and the handle of the upper part close
the circuit in the device.
In this way, operation outside of the
protective beverage container is pre-
vented effectively.
Thermal protection and internal device
fuse
After the normal execution of a pro-
gram, a temperature of about 60°C is
not exceeded at the electronic compo-
nents after the device shell was lifted
out of the hot liquid.
The resulting hot steam is being
discharged through the inner steam
valve via a stainless steel steam pipe
upwards and exits through the outer
steam valve. In this way, the heat in
the interior of the electronics is regula-
ted.
If the current exceeds the allowable
value, the internal device fuse res and
the power turns off permanently. In
this case, please contact our service
center.

Operation
The Vegimat Professional features the
following basic functions:
Water heating
The water (including contents) is hea-
ted by the heating element. The hea-
ting duration and the targeted tempe-
rature is determined by the automatic
program.
Content grinding
The solid contents are cut by the speci-
ally shaped blades. Duration and fre-
quency of meal-cycles is also deter-
mined by the automatic program.
The basis for all programs is always
1.3 - 1.5 liters of cold water.
Never pour hot or warm water,
since the programs are optimized
for cold water!
Automatic programs
There are 9 different programs to
produce vegetarian/vegan food and
drinks. These control the heating and
grinding cycles in an optimized se-
quence and duration, according to the
ingredients.
Additionally, you can run automatic
cleaning with the two functions
Cleaning COLD / HOT.
The desired program is selected
by repeatedly pressing the func-
tion key MENU: Program is high-
lighted
Press the key START and it
starts the program.
The unit makes an acoustic sig-
nal at the end of program.
Tips and instructions for safe use

General usage
Preparation
DANGER - Risk of death by
electric shock
Make sure that the power cord is
unplugged before you prepare
the device.
WARNING - Fire and scalding
Do not use less than 1.3 liters
and no more than 1.5 liters in the
pot.
Too little amount of water can burn
your ingredients at the bottom of the
pot. Too much water can cause the
boiling water to spray out.
General preparation procedure
1. Remove the device from the pot
and place it aside or put it into
the supplied plastic jug.
2. Put the ingredients into the
empty stainless-steel jug (see
program instructions page 14-22)
3. Fill cold water into the pot. At
the inside marks you can see the
correct amount. For example,
using 100g soybeans allow ap-
proximately 1.4 liters of water.
Do not use warm or hot water, other-
wise the programs may not work cor-
rectly.
Soak ingredients
Make sure to rst soak some ingre-
dients you prepare for making drinks
with the Vegimat Professional:
Soybeans, mung beans
Lupins
Shelled almonds and other nuts
Other ingredients may also require to
be in a soaked state depending on the
desired avor and consistency, but it is
not mandatory.
1. Put the beans or nuts in a glass
or a bowl with enough water.
2. The soaking duration should be
between 5 and 10 hours, but not
more than 12 hours.
The swollen soybeans then reach 2
times of their dry weight, usually.
If it has been too long in the water,
then you might see foam produced on
the surface of the water.
This indicates that the fermentation
process is underway already and bacte-
ria form carbon dioxide.
