How to homogenise
The appliance allows to homogenise all the foods normally
used for weaning: fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, rice, etc.
Thanks to the special design of its blades, Baby Meal reduces
the amount of air bubbles, which cause colic in babies, in the
homogenised food it prepares.
By using the appropriate measuring cup (L) put water and the
food one wishes to homogenise in the container (G), then in-
sert it in its place on the base of the appliance (H).
Put on the lid (C) and close it by turning it clockwise until it
clicks into place (fig. 1).
After having used the“boil function”(see page 17) proceed as
per“blender function”for roughly 20 seconds (see page 17).
To remove the baby food from the container (G), use the spa-
tula (P) supplied.

tention: the jar must be made of glass or heat resistant plastic
material suitable for heating food up to 100°C, the maximum
dimensions of the jar must not exceed: 60 mm diameter, 90
mm height). Position the jar on the bottom of the container
(G) and set the Boil function according to the instructions in-
dicated in the relative section of this instructions manual. To

baby food (about 200-260 g) set at about 25-30 minutes.
Once the defrost/heating cycle is complete, extract the
jar with oven gloves taking great care as it may be very hot.
for hygienic and biological reasons never heat foods
more than once or for a more than an hour.
Before administeringheatedfoodtoababy,alwayscheckthat
it is not too hot (above 37°C).
Cleaning the appliance
• 	 Ensure that the plug is disconnected from the power mains
and that the switch is in position 0.
• 	 Open and remove the lid, then remove the container and
the stopper before washing them in tepid and soapy water.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• 	 If needed remove the remains of the ingredients by using
	 the spatula(P) supplied. Do not use abrasive products.
• 	 To ease cleaning, always dismantle the blades. Wash eve-
rything and dry thoroughly, then reassemble.
	 Attention the blades are very sharp, so when they are not
inserted in the appliance, protect them with the protective
casing and store them in a safe place out of children’s re-
ach.
• 	 To prevent the blades from rusting, straight after each use
always clean and dry them thoroughly.
	 It is recommended not to wash the blades in the dishwa-
sher because the presence of salt and moisture may cause
rust. Wipe the motor body and power cable with a damp
cloth or sponge. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
• 	 Wrap the power cable carefully around the base of the mo-
tor body.
•	 To simplify the cleaning of the cover, slightly pull or use a
thin blunt tool (e.g. the spatula provided) to remove the
seal from its housing.
	 To prevent damages to the seal, insert the tool in the outer
edge in correspondence of the support hook (see figure).
