Eh? You only have the cover of a manual to tramslate? Without some context the answers you have already got are only guesses, but it's your choice
Anthony Indra (asker) Jan 27, 2022:
Thank you! I think it is quite clear now, thank you so much! I don't have many references because that's all I got.
AllegroTrans Jan 27, 2022:
Asker It might help if you could tell us exactly what kind of a machine this is

together with

It is most probably the abbreviation for the word "nebst" which has various meanings, but I think that it means here "together with". So the expression "B- Titelbild n. Mischer" means "B- Cover picture together with mixer". NOTE: Depending on the machine in question "Mischer" may not only mean "mixer" but also "blender, stirrer etc." Sufficient info is not supplied even in the discussions.
Example sentence:

Schon der edel wirkende Hochglanz-Einband mit einem stimmungsvollen Foto von der durch Feuerwerk illuminierten Burg Königstein als Titelbild nebst einem Porträt des neuen Burgfräuleins Sophie I., deren feierliche Inthronisierung am Burgfest-Samstag....

Man kann davon ausgehen, dass der Spiegel sein Titelbild nebst Überschrift wohlüberlegt gestaltet und versucht hat, eine Vorverurteilung Schröders zu vermeiden.

of

I think this is saying that the cover illustration is a picture of a mixer/blender.

Cover Illustration of Mixer/Blender

n. may technically refer to with but doesn't make sense I think to say cover illustration with mixer because the mixer is the illustration.

agree Susan Starling : Like Ahmet "nebst" is the first thing I thought of here too. And if so, I'd agree that it's a picture "of" something given Duden's "[zusammen] mit" or "samt" for "nebst". "Together with" would be too literal a translation for a picture "of" something.

depending on [nach]


There may be different models of the mixer. The instructions would be largely the same. However, the image used on the cover of the manual would differ depending on the model
Peer comment(s):

agree Klaus Beyer : 'nach' = here 'as per'
