OPERATION

General information

Keep the workplace during work clean and dry. If necessary, wipe off splashes or spilled 

liquids with a dry cloth.

WARNING:

 Never place the motor base on wet underlayments or towels. Never let fluids 

run under or onto the motor base. If liquids have entered into the motor base, then immedi-

ately pull the power plug from the outlet, and have the applaince checked at a specialised 

service centre.

WARNING:

 Never put your hands or foreign objects (e.g. cooking cutlery ) into the blen-

der jug, when the blender jug is mounted on the motor base. Always switch to ›0‹ (switch 

position: ›0‹/AUS/OFF), wait until the blades stand still and then remove the blender jug 

from the motor base before removing the lid to check the content or pushing down the food 

in the blender jug. Use only cooking utensils made of wood, rubber or plastic. Apply no vi-

olence, if you push the food down the blender jug or dissolve ingredients that have become 

wedged in the blade. Your Vital Mixer cannot replace all your kitchen appliances. YYou 

cannot use it to mash potatoes, to beat eggs for a meringue or to prepare minced or juiced 

fruits or vegetables. Also for very firm dough types (e.g.: yeast dough) or harsh ingredients 

(e.g.: nuts, hard chocolate) this device is not suitable.

Important:

 Do not let food residue to dry in the blender jug of your appliance. Clean the 

appliance immediately after operation (see ›Care and Cleaning‹).

Tips for Preparation

•  Always place liquid ingredients first in the Vital Mixer, if it is not otherwise specified in 

the recipe.
• Cut solid foods (vegetables, fruits, cheeses, cooked meats, fish and seafood) in about 

2 cm pieces. Do not overload the motor with too hard or too large ingredients. Turn the 

appliance off (ON/OFF-switch position ›0‹ (AUS/OFF) when the motor gets stuck to avoid 

overheating (see: ›Trouble Shooting‹). 
•  Process the ingredients just a few seconds. It is better to consider the quality of the pro-

duct in between, as to obtain a too fine, possibly mushy product.
• With the two speeds and pulse function (switch position: ›M‹) you can prepare easily, 

versatile and quickly a variety of dishes.

Selecting the Speed Levels

Turn the ON/OFF-switch easily to the desired speed level. The appropriate speed level is 

determined by the textures of the ingredients (see the following table). To use the pulse func-

tion (ON/OFF-switch position ›M‹) turn and hold the switch in position until the ingredients 

have reached the desired consistency.
