General safety instructions

Risk of electric shock!



The power cord must not be damaged. Never replace a damaged power cord, instead

contact customer services (see "Guarantee Information" on page 21). There is a risk of

electric shock in the case of damaged power cords.



Do not open the blender housing - it contains no serviceable parts. Opening the housing

can expose you to the risk of electric shock.



If you notice any smoke, unusual noises or strange smells, switch off the device

immediately and remove the plug from the wall socket. If this occurs, do not continue to

use the device and have it checked out by an expert. Never inhale smoke from a

possible device fire. If you do inadvertently inhale smoke, seek medical attention. Smoke

inhalation can be damaging to your health.



Make sure that the power cord cannot be damaged by sharp edges or hot spots. After

use, always wind the power cord back around the cord wrap (7) underneath the motor

unit (6).



Make sure that the power cord cannot get crushed or squashed.



The appliance must always be disconnected from the mains when left unsupervised and

before assembly, disassembly or cleaning.



When disconnecting the power supply, always pull on the plug and never on the cable

itself.



If you notice visible damage to the blender or the power cord, switch the device off,

disconnect the mains plug from the wall outlet and contact customer services (see

"Guarantee Information" on page 21).



Only connect the blender to a properly installed, easily accessible wall outlet whose

mains voltage corresponds to that on the rating plate. After connecting the device, the

wall outlet must still be easily accessible so that you can remove the mains plug quickly in

the event of an emergency.



Never immerse the motor unit (6), the power cord (5) or the mains plug in water or other

liquids. If liquid does penetrate the motor unit (6), disconnect the mains plug from the

wall outlet immediately and contact customer services (see "Guarantee Information" on

page 21).

Warning about property damage



Do not leave the blender unattended while running so you can react quickly in the case

of hazards.

SilverCrest SSM 550 E1

English - 9

Risk of overheating and fire



Only ever operate the blender with the blender jug filled and never empty.



Do not use the appliance in direct sunlight or near heating appliances (heaters, stoves,

ovens etc.).



Do not place hot or boiling foods in the blender jug. Otherwise the motor unit could

overheat or the blender jug glass could crack. Always leave hot or boiling foods to cool

down first before adding them to the blender jug (3) and processing with the blender.

Injur

y



Never open the lid (2) while the blender is running. Otherwise, rotating bits of food may

be ejected with great force.



Never reach into the blender jug while the blender is running because the cutting blade

is extremely sharp and rotates quickly.



Never insert cutlery or other stirring implements into the blender jug while the blender is

running as the cutting blades rotate very quickly and may cause considerable damage

and injury.

Before you start

Unpack the device. First check whether all the parts are complete and undamaged. If any items are

missing or damaged, please phone our hotline (see "Guarantee Information" on page 21). Keep the

packaging material away from children and dispose of appropriately.

Getting started

2. Check that the blender's rotary switch

(4) is in the OFF position.

Switching on / selecting speed

The blender can only be switched on once the blender jug (3) is properly locked into position

and correctly seated on the motor unit.

Warning!

The lid (2) may come loose on speed level 5 when the blender jug (3) is filled to the

SilverCrest SSM 550 E1

Speeds 1 to 3 For mixing, blending and pureeing liquid or semi-solid foods

Speeds 3 to 5 For chopping and for more solid foods

Ice Crush/Clean For crushing ice and short pulses at high speed. Also for cleaning the cutting blades.

The rotary switch does not remain engaged in this mode to avoid excess strain on

the motor. You should therefore only ever use this function for a very brief period.

To crush ice, you should fill the blender jug (3) with a maximum of 180g of ice cubes.

Otherwise the ice will not be perfectly crushed.

Filling the blender jug while the blender is running

Warning!

(3). There is a danger of injury!

Proceed as follows to add ingredients while the blender is running:

1. Rotate the measuring cap (1) in an anti-clockwise direction and remove it.

3. Close the measuring cap (1). To do so, insert it into the lid (2) and tighten in a clockwise direction.

Removing the blender jug from the motor unit

1. Place the rotary switch (4) in the Off position. If you are finished blending, disconnect the mains plug

from the wall outlet.
