Tips for working with the appliance
• Remove stalks, pits and peels from the food. Before processing, cut large food into rather small pieces.
• Work in a pulsing rhythm, this means grinding for a few seconds and then pausing briefly. Repeat this
procedure for several times.
• Food with a strong odor, like e.g. cinnamon sticks, may transfer some odour/taste to the lid of the
container. This is quite normal and no reason for complaint. Therefore we recommend purchasing an
additional grinding container, which can be used for such foods. Spare containers are available at your
service point.
• Spices with intense essential oils (e.g. caraway, clove etc.) may affect and dull the inside surface of the
containers' lids. This is normal and no reason for complaint.
• With this appliance, you can also produce dips and pesto. However, use ingredients like olive oil or
sunflower oil only in minor quantities.
• Not suitable for processing are:
food that is too hard like e.g. nutmeg, fruit stones etc.
o
food that is too humid, like apples, onions, carrots etc.
o
food that is too sticky like cheese, chocolate, onions etc.
o
fluid ingredients like water, yoghurt etc.
o
fluid sauces and dips having a fluid consistency
o
ice cubes to produce crushed ice
