The Heinzelmann CHEF-X HMCX02 is a versatile thermo mixer designed for a wide range of kitchen tasks including mixing, emulsifying, grinding, homogenizing, creaming, infusing, pureeing, whipping, whisking, beating, stirring, chopping, mashing, stewing, browning, and cooking. It is intended for indoor use in staff kitchen areas and other residential-type environments.

Function Description:

The CHEF-X operates with a blade assembly that can rotate in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions. The clockwise rotation is used for chopping and mixing, while the counter-clockwise rotation (Reverse function) uses the blunt side of the blade for gentle stirring without chopping. The appliance features adjustable speed control with 10 increments, temperature control ranging from 37°C to 130°C, and a timer that can be set from 1 second to 90 minutes.

Key functions include:

• On/Off Switch: Powers the appliance on and off. It automatically switches off after 15 minutes of idle time for energy saving.
• Turbo Function: Increases speed to maximum for intense mixing. This function is not available if a temperature is selected and should not be used with the whisk.
• Multi-Pulse Function: Operates in alternating speeds for settings 1-7. For temperatures above 70°C, this function is limited to speeds 1 and 2 for safety reasons. The whisk should not be used with Multi-Pulse.
• Pause Function: Temporarily stops operation to check or add ingredients. The lid can only be opened after the LED above the pause button turns green and an acoustic signal sounds. If the lid is opened prematurely, the appliance locks for 90 seconds.
• Temperature Control: Allows setting precise cooking temperatures. For temperatures 70°C or above, the timer must be set first before selecting speed to start.
• Speed Control: Adjusts the rotation speed of the blade assembly. The whisk can only be used with speed settings 1-4. When mixing liquids at speed 10, the blender bowl should not contain more than 1 litre to prevent ejection; for speeds less than 10, it can be filled up to 2 litres.
• Timer: Sets a countdown for the desired process, after which the appliance stops automatically. It can also count up to 90 minutes if the countdown function is not used.
• Simmering Basket: Used for cooking or steaming food. Requires at least 500 ml of water in the blender bowl, not exceeding the 2-litre maximum filling volume.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Model: HMCX02
• Voltage: 220-240V ~
• Frequency: 50/60 Hz
• Protection Class: I
• Power Rating: 1300W (Motor: 1400W, Heating: 1050W)
• Capacity of Blender Bowl: 2 litres

Usage Features:

• Blender Bowl: Features internal markings for filling volumes (approx. 0.5 litre, 1 litre, 1.5 litre, and max. 2 litres).
• Blade Assembly: Must be correctly inserted and locked into the blender bowl. It is crucial to ensure the seal is positioned correctly to prevent leaks. The blades are very sharp, requiring caution during handling and cleaning.
• Lid and Transparent Lid Cap: The lid must be firmly closed for the appliance to operate. The transparent lid cap closes the lid and can be used to measure ingredients (up to 123 ml when turned upside down). It can be removed briefly during operation to add ingredients, provided the speed is reduced to 1, 2, or 3.
• Whisk: Used for combining liquid foods, whipping cream, beating egg whites, or emulsifying. It is placed onto the blade assembly and should only be used with speeds 1-4. The spatula should not be used when the whisk is in place.
• Spatula: Primarily used for moving food out of the bowl. It should not be used while the blade is running. The hook on the rear can be used to remove the hot simmering basket.
• Safety Mechanisms: The appliance includes a lid lock mechanism and will not operate if the blender bowl or lid are not correctly positioned. It also has an overflow hole in the base unit to manage liquid spills.
• Warning Messages: The display shows warnings for "Lid Opened" (if the lid is not correctly placed), "Lock in Red" (if the lid was opened during operation or without pressing Pause), "!" (if the appliance is overloaded), and "E003" (if the appliance is overheated).

Maintenance Features:

• Cleaning:
  • Base Unit: Clean with a damp cloth and clear water. Do not immerse in water.
  • Dishwasher-Safe Parts: Blender bowl, transparent lid cap, lid for blender bowl, seal for the lid, blade assembly, simmering basket, whisk, and spatula are dishwasher-safe.
  • Manual Cleaning: For the blade assembly, ensure water is clear enough to see the blades to avoid injury.
  • Multi-Pulse Function for Cleaning: Can be used to clean food residue from the blender bowl and blade assembly.
  • Cleaning Agents: Never use abrasive, corrosive, or scratching cleaning agents.
• Seals: Seals for the blade assembly and lid should be regularly removed for cleaning and checked for damage (porous material or tears). Damaged seals must be replaced. Operation without seals is not permitted.
• Descaling:
  • Slight Deposits: Remove with a cloth soaked in household vinegar, then rinse with clear water.
  • Major Deposits: Use a mixture of 50% white household vinegar and 50% boiling water. Allow to react for 30 minutes, then rinse and dry. Do not use commercial descaling agents.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the CHEF-X and its accessories (mixing bowl, blade, cable, mixing bowl sealing ring) for damage. Do not use damaged accessories.
• Ventilation: Regularly check that air intakes are not obstructed. Leave the measuring cup off the mixing bowl lid when not in use to improve ventilation.
• Rust Prevention: Prolonged stewing or contact with acidic substances can lead to rust. Clean and dry the mixing bowl and blade set promptly after use.
• Consumables: Mixing blade set, bowls, and accessories are consumables subject to normal wear and should be replaced in a timely manner to ensure optimal results.
• Moisture Prevention: Use water sparingly to prevent moisture from entering the base unit.

Safety Instructions:

• Always read the instruction manual thoroughly before initial use.
• Never insert hands or kitchen utensils into the feeding tube while the appliance is operating.
• Be cautious when dismounting the mixing blade set to prevent accidental dropping.
• Avoid sudden steaming and scalding when pouring hot liquids or operating with hot ingredients in turbo function.
• Ensure the appliance is placed on a horizontal, stable, clean, heat-resistant, and dry surface, capable of supporting its weight with food inside.
• Disconnect from the main plug when unattended, not in use, or before assembly, disassembly, and cleaning.
• Wait for all rotating parts to come to a standstill before unlocking the blender bowl or opening the lid.
• Do not attempt to override the lid lock mechanism.
• Do not use the appliance to chop hard food like bones or nutmegs.
• Protect the base unit from moisture; never immerse it in water or other liquids.
• Do not touch the appliance or plug with wet hands.
• Ensure the power cable is not damaged, trapped, or crushed, and does not become a trip hazard.
• Keep the appliance away from hot surfaces, open flames, and explosive or flammable materials.
• Do not operate the appliance when empty to prevent motor overheating.
