4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always switch off and unplug the appliance before cleaning it. Clean the
blender bowl before using it for the first time, and immediately after each
use.
To clean it, remove the bowl from the motor unit by lifting it off. Wash the
bowl in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry it thoroughly. The bowl can
also be washed in a dishwasher.
Do not attempt to dismantle the blender bowl. Clean it extremely
cautiously to avoid any risk of injury.
To clean the motor unit, use a damp cloth to remove the residue, then wipe
clean. Never immerse the motor unit into water or in any other liquid, and
never put it in a dishwasher.
5. IMPORTANT HELPFUL HINTS ON USING THE BLENDER
• Always place the motor unit on a clean, dry and steady surface.
• Always add the liquid ingredients first before adding the other
ingredients. Using this method, the ingredients will always be
uniformly blended.
• Cut the majority of foodstuffs into 1 to 5-cm cubes to obtain a more
uniform result. Chop all cheeses into approximately 1-cm pieces.
• Use the measuring cap to measure liquid ingredients such as
alcohol. Re-insert the measuring cap once the ingredients have been
added.
• Use a spatula if necessary, but only when the blender has been switched
off. Never use metal utensils, since these could damage the bowl or the
blades.
• If you scrape the blender bowl with a spatula, remove the food stuck to
the internal sides of the bowl and place it above the blades.
• If you are chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zests, nuts and spices etc.,
ensure that the blender bowl and blades are completely dry.
• If the food tends to stick to the internal sides of the bowl during use,
operate the machine in short sharp bursts.
• Stagger the pulses so that the blades stop turning in between these
consecutive pulses.
• Do not store foodstuffs or liquids in the bowl.
• This machine is not intended for mashing potatoes, kneading dough or
stiffly beating egg whites.
• Do not over-process the foodstuffs. The results expected are achieved
in a few seconds, not minutes.
• Do not overload the blender. If the motor stalls, switch off the machine
and unplug it. Remove some of the food, then switch on again.
