OPERATING YOUR SMOOTHIE BLENDER PB 4050 / HINTS AND TIPS
OVERLOAD PROTECTION SYSTEM
The blender is equipped with an internal
self resetting overload protector to protect
the motor from damage under heavy or
continuous loads. If the extractor suddenly
stops during use, this protector may have
tripped.
Remove the cup, unplug and leave it to cool
for at least 30 minutes. Do not replace the
cup assembly while cooling as the protector
may reset causing it to start unexpectedly.
Tripping the protector indicates that the
extractor is being loaded too heavily, or
with excessive continuous use. Reduce the
amount of ingredients used or allow more
time in between blending to prevent it from
happening again, which will help preserve
the life of the motor.
The MAX line is usually a good indicator to
prevent overly heavy loading, however some
especially dense combinations of ingredients
may still strain the motor. If the motor seems
to be straining or running slowly, only operate
for 10 seconds at a time, or reduce the amount
of ingredients used. Adding more liquid can
also help to loosen dense mixtures.
Note that none of the recipes in the recipe
book provided with this product are
considered a heavy load.
HINTS AND TIPS
• Never blend hot (or even warm)
ingredients. The blades form a seal with
the cups, and there is no venting for
steam to be released.
• We recommend not blending longer
than the recommend times in the recipes
provided with this product, or no more
than 1 minute at a time. Ingredients in
the cup may become warm and cause
internal pressure on the seals making it
diffi
cult to open or splatter ingredients
when opened. Allow to cool and take
care when opening.
• Always add liquids for optimum blending
(except the grinding attachment, which
must be used dry). If the blending action
is not causing the ingredients to circulate,
try adding more liquid.
• If the results are lumpy, try reducing the
ingredients, or blending in batches.
• Run the extractor only for the
appropriate amount of time required –
do not over blend ingredients.
• If foods are thick, use a pulsing action
by twisting the cup to engage and
disengage the motor as needed. This will
help ingredients circulate.
• Do not exceed the maximum mark when
adding foods and liquids into the cup.
• To stop blending at any time, rotate the
cup anti-clockwise to disengage the
motor.
• The maximum amount of ice cubes the
extractor can process is 4 from a standard
ice tray. This also applies to frozen fruit.
Cut fruit into pieces of a similar size to an
ice cube before freezing.
• For even grinding do not process more
than 1/3 – ½ cup at a time in the grinding
cup.
• When grinding nuts, it is recommended
to only process to a meal consistency.
The grinding attachment is not suitable
to make nut butters.
