Care and cleaning
8
•
To clean the blender jug, particularly when a
variety of food has been used, half fill the jug with
luke warm water and a small amount of detergent.
Turn the speed control dial to the Autoclean setting
and operate briefly. Switch the blender off, remove
the blender jug from the motor base.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
•
Remove the lid and inner lid and wash in warm
soapy water.
•
Wipe the motor base with a soft, damp cloth.
Never immerse the motor base in water or any
other liquid.
Never place the blender jug, lid or inner lid into
the dishwasher.
Note
Bread crumbs:
Remove the crusts from the bread and tear into
pieces. Blend enough pieces at one time to cover the
blades. Up to 5 slices at one time can be crumbed.
Stale bread will produce the best results.
Chopped nuts:
Blend
3
⁄
4
cup of nuts at a time. Use the PULSE setting
as this will
give more even chopping.
Drinks:
The Powermax makes superb drinks. Fill the container
to at least
1
⁄
4
full, remember to leave room to
allow froth to form as the drink is aerated. Max
fill to 750ml.
Ground coffee:
Coffee beans can be ground finely enough for a
percolator or for infusion, but not finely enough
for dripolator or espresso machines. Blend
1
⁄
2
cup
beans at a time.
Soups, sauces, purees:
The most efficient amount to blend will depend on
the food/recipe used. However generally, the more
liquid used, the more can be processed at one time.
For drier mixtures, begin with enough food to cover
the blades and scrape sides regularly.
Whipped cream:
Place 1
1
⁄
4
cups cream with sugar and vanilla into the
jug. Blend until thickened.
Biscuit crumbs:
Break biscuits into pieces. Blend enough pieces at
one time to cover the blades.
Mayonnaise:
Place egg yolks, mustard and vinegar in the jug.
Using speed 1 (low), blend for 5 seconds. While the
blender is running, pour oil in a slow, steady stream
through hole in the inverted inner lid. Blend until
mixture is thick.
Batters:
Place liquid ingredients, then dry ingredients, into the
jug. Using speeds 1 or 2 (depending on batter type)
blend until dry ingredients are moistened.
Pureed vegetables:
Place chopped cooked vegetables, up to 1 kg at a
time with one cup of water into the jug. Using speed
2 (high), blend until smooth. More liquid may need to
be added to achieve a smooth result.
Ice:
Simply place ice in the blender and add 1 cup of
water. The water will aid the ice crushing process.
Select the ‘PULSE’ function and hold for 1-2 seconds
and then return to ‘OFF’ position. Continue this process
and in seconds your ice will be fluffy and snowy.
When grinding dry ingredients such as biscuit
pieces, begin by using PULSE and speed 1 (low)
to break into smaller pieces, then continue
grinding using speed 2 (high).
Note
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF AND UNPLUG THE APPLIANCE WHEN NOT IN USE OR STORING.
