IMPORTANT NOTES FOR USE
• You may use the appliance for the types of food given in the following table.
Task
Type of Food
Making nutrient juices and smoothies Fruits, vegetables, herbs
Blending
Light, runny batters, dips, vinaigrette,
dressings, smooth sauces
Frozen blending
Crushing ice (insert up to 4 ice cubes
at a time), frozen fruit
•
Hard or solid types of food:
Cut your food in cubes of approx. 1 - 1,5 cm in
size (e.g. carrots). Process max. 240 g at once. Always add some liquid (fill up
to max. 360 g).
•
Liquids and soft types of food:
max. 600 g.
• For processing larger amounts, divide your food in appropriate portions. At the
maximum, the mixing jar may be filled up to the “600 ml” marking.
• Do not operate the appliance with an empty mixing jar.
• Do not process hot food or liquid. Otherwise, high pressure could build up within
the mixing jar, causing injuries and damage.
• The on/off button and safety interlocks ensure easy and safe operation: The motor
only operates with the mixing jar assembled completely and locked in the motor
base correctly, and while the on/off button is pressed.
• To ensure that the appliance will not fall or move on the working space, keep a
hand on the mixing jar while the motor is operating.
• The appliance will process your food within seconds. In most cases, long processing
times will not be necessary. The best results are usually achieved using short pulses.
• Do not operate the appliance for more than 1 minute continuously when processing
liquid or soft ingredients, and not more than 30 seconds continuously when
processing hard or solid types of food. Allow the appliance to rest for 1 minute
between each cycle. This prevents damage to the motor from overheating.
• If the blades get stuck or operate noticeably slow, stop operation immediately
and add some liquid, and/or reduce the amount of ingredients in the mixing jar.
