•
If the volume (while blending) is below
the maximum line, the inner measuring
cap can be removed and oils/liquids can
be added while blender is in use.
•
Run the blender only for the appropriate
amount of time required – do not over
blend ingredients.
•
Use the PULSE button when food is too
thick or coarse to circulate within the
blender jug.
•
Do not exceed the maximum mark
when adding foods and liquids into the
blender.
•
Ingredients may stick to the sides of
the blender jug. To push food back onto
the blades, turn the blender off and
unplug at the wall. Use a plastic spatula
to scrape down the sides of the jug, and
continue blending.
•
If any moisture or liquid appears on top
of the motor base during blending, turn
the blender off and unplug at the wall.
Remove the blender jug, and wipe motor
base immediately with a dry cloth or
paper towel.
•
To stop blending at any time or during
the SMOOTHIE program, press the
CANCEL button.
•
When the blender has been running for
120 seconds, it will automatically turn
off. This is a safety feature to protect the
motor.
•
A speed or function can be selected
at any time, even while the blender
is running. Press the new speed or
program, and the blender will change
operation immediately. The motor
will still automatically turn off at 120
seconds total time running time.
•
The maximum amount of ice cubes that
the blender can process is 250g (approx.
1 standard ice tray).
Do’S AND DoN'tS
the Do’s
•
Use a combination of the blending
speeds and pulse function to suit the
foods being processed.
•
Use the SMOOTHIE function to blend
fruits, ice cream and yogurts into thick
smoothies, whips and milkshakes.
•
Use the PULSE function for foods that
only require short bursts of power, such
as chopping nuts and crushing ice.
•
When blending drinks with ice cubes
or frozen fruit, use the ICE CRUSH
function.
•
Thicker mixtures puree more efficiently
if the jug is
¼
to
½
full.
the Don’ts
•
Do not use metal utensils, as they may
damage the blades or blender jug.
•
Do not blend a heavy mixture for more
than 10 seconds. For normal blending
tasks, do not blend longer than 1
minutes at a time. If you need to blend
longer, turn off the blender and stir
ingredients before starting again. This
rest will help protect the motor from
wear and tear.
•
The blender will not knead dough, or
mash potatoes.
•
When blending warm ingredients, do
not put more than 2 cups at a time in.
Once blending has started, you can add
another 1 cup slowly by removing the
inner lid and pouring through the hole.
•
Do not blend hot or boiling ingredients.
Allow food to cool down to a warm state
before placing in the blender. This is
to safeguard against sudden bursts of
steam that are caused by blending hot
ingredients, and it also protects the jug
from possible damage.
