Putting On and Exchanging the Attachments
Holding the preferred attachment as straight as possible, push it onto the stub so
that the drive pin on the stub fits exactly into the small recess in the socket of the
attachment. The attachment is designed to make this process easy. Remove the
attachment by simply pulling it off the stub.
WARNING: When you exchange the attachments, always pull out the plug.
Over time, the attachments may no longer fit as firmly on the shaft. In this case,
simply press the spring blades lightly together with a pair of pliers.
Containers/Cookware
The Bamix can be used with any type of container or cookware, even directly in a
pan on the stove. Use small containers for small amounts and large containers for
larger amounts. Narrow, high containers are more suitable for working with the
Bamix than are wide, shallow ones.
Troubleshooting
If you have not used your appliance for some time, the drive shaft may get stuck
due to food residue that has hardened and is now clogging the lower shaft
bearing. This can cause the drive shaft to stop rotating. Place the operative part of
the appliance in a container of hot water for five to 10 minutes, and then switch it on.
Usually the appliance will then work properly; if not, try to free the shaft carefully with
pliers.
The Bamix will stay “fit” longer if you oil it every few months with vegetable oil.
Hold the Bamix upside-down with the cutter guard facing you, put two or three
drops of vegetable oil on the drive shaft, and switch on the appliance for two to
three minutes. Afterwards, rinse the appliance in hot water.
Caution: Do not operate the hand mixer without the guard!
