ADVICE
How do I clean the bowl and
accessories?
For easier cleaning:
Empty the bowl then fit the beater attachment.
Pour in 0.7 l of water and add a few drops of
washing-up liquid.
Close the lid with the stopper fitted.
Set your appliance to speed 8 at 80°C for 5 mi-
nutes, then press "Start".

(a beep will sound), stop the appliance and finish
cleaning the attachment under the tap.
(This applies to all four attachments).
How do I clean food stuck to the bottom of
the bowl?
1- Let it soak for one hour (water + washing-up
liquid)
• To avoid altering the materials of the bowl (D),
ensure that you respect the instructions for use
of your dishwasher, do not increase the dose of
dishwasher salt or dishwashing products.

spoon
3- After emptying the bowl, scrub the bottom of
the bowl with the green side of the sponge

juice, white vinegar or a dishwasher tablet dis-
solved in water (leave for as long as necessary).

SOLUTIONS
Cooking times are only a guide and approximate.
However, certain conditions may affect the
cooking time:
- size of the vegetables (cut or uncut)
- quantity of ingredients in the basket
- type of vegetables, their ripeness
- quantity of water in the bowl, which
corresponds to the measurement (0.7l).
If the food is not properly cooked, you can set
an additional cooking time.
You can also use the manual mode by selecting
a temperature of 130°C and the cooking
time according to the quantity and type of
ingredients.
Set the steam regulator cap to 'maxi steam' (turn
towards you); this setting allows a maximum amount
of steam to build up in the bowl for all types of
steam cooking (soups, etc.), so there will be more
steam in the bowl and the cooking process will be
more efficient. This position also helps to avoid
splashing during cooking. The 'mini steam' position
allows a maximum amount of condensation to escape
and is recommended when making sauces and dishes
such as risotto, egg custard desserts, etc.
The "zero" position enables the steam regulator valve
on the lid to be secured and removed.
Your recipes, either personal or taken from the Internet
may not be suited to your appliance and its accessories
(quantities, cooking time, duration, inadequate
accessories). Before starting your recipe, make sure you
follow the instructions of use provided in this manual.
Plug the appliance into an electrical socket.
Move the switch to position 1.
Check that the bowl or the lid are correctly
positioned and locked according to the diagrams
in the instruction manual.
Check that the seal is correctly assembled on the
seal holder and that the seal holder is fully pushed
onto the lid in all places.
Place the appliance on a flat surface.
Reduce the quantity of ingredients processed.
Check that you are using the recommended
accessory.
This is a temporary phenomenon, which has
no consequences on the life of your appliance.
It will fade or disappear after a few uses
and cleaning operations of the removable
spindle (refer to the paragraph "Cleaning the
appliance").
