• Use the Ice Crush function with short
bursts of power, when blending drinks
containing ice cubes or frozen fruit.
• Ensure all foods are cut into cubes
(approx. 2cm square) 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

the blender is ¼ to ½ full.

liquid ingredients in the blender jug
before solid ingredients, unless specify
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

damage the blades or blender jug.
• Do not operate a heavy mixture for more

etc., do not operate for longer than 2
minutes at one time without turning off
the blender and stirring the ingredients,
