dO’S
• Use Low speeds (1-2 – Mix and Pulp)
emulsions such as mayonnaise,
dressings, marinades and foods that
require mixing until just combined, such
as batters.
• Use High speeds (4-5 – Puree) for
pureeing soups and aerating liquids and
for drink and cocktail making.
• Use PULSE for foods that only require
short bursts of power such as chopping
nuts.
• Ensure all foods are cut into cubes
(approximately. 2-3cm squares) where
appropriate to achieve an even result.
• Do not put more than 2 cups of warm
ingredients into the blender before
blending commences. After the blending
process has begun and the blades are
turning you may slowly add another 1½
cups of ingredients through the inner lid
opening if desired.
• Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if
the blender is ¼ to ½ full.
• When using several ingredients, place
liquid ingredients in the blender jug
before solid ingredients, unless specified
in the recipe.
• When blending thick or dry mixtures
it may be necessary to stop the blender
and scrape down the sides of the blender
jug with a plastic or rubber spatula, once
or twice during blending. 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, for example, mayonnaise,
dressings etc., do not operate for longer
than 1 minute at one time without
turning off the blender and stirring the
ingredients, and then continue blending.
• Do not operate the blender without
having the blender lid in position.
To add additional ingredients while
blending, remove the inner lid and place
ingredients through the opening in the
lid. When adding oil or other liquids
during operation, slowly pour through
the small holes on either side of the
inner lid.
• Do not fill the blender jug above the
MAX line. When the blender jug is filled
at or near the MAX line, place one hand
on the blender lid to avoid displacement
of the lid during operation.
• Do not place any objects, other than
food or liquid, into the blender whilst the
motor is running.
• Do not use the blender to store food.
• The blender will not knead dough or
mash potatoes.
• Do not remove the blender jug while
the blender is operating. Always make
sure the blender is off by pressing the
POWER button, the lights will turn off.
Switch off the power at the power outlet
and unplug the power cord from the
power outlet.
• Do not overload the blender with
more than the specified quantity of
ingredients as doing so could cause
the motor to stall. Turn the blender off
by pressing the POWER button on the
control panel, the lights will turn off.
Switch off the power at the power outlet
and unplug the cord. Remove a portion
of the mixture from the blender jug
before continuing.
• Do not place hot or boiling ingredients
into the blender; allow to cool before
placing into the blender jug.
