Precautions when using warm liquid
The jug can resist hot ingredients such as warm liquids or soups. When warm liquids are
poured into a closed container (e.g. a blender mug with lid) a high pressure will automatically
be created. Consequently, there is a risk that the lid is pushed off during use and the warm
liquid may splash. In order to avoid such a situation, please proceed as follows:
1. The temperature of the liquid in the blender must not exceed 70° C.
2. Fill the jug only half way up with the wanted ingredients (such as e.g. vegetables, root
vegetables etc.)
3. Start the blender at level 1 or 2 (not the Pulse level) and slowly pour the liquid (hot
bouillon, cream or similar) through the opening in the black lid. Do not switch off the
blender. If the blender is switched off with warm liquid in the jug and is restarted, a
pressure will be created from the bottom due to the high rotation speed of the motor,
and this pressure may result in the lid being pushed off.
If nevertheless the blender has been switched off during the above process with warm
liquid in the jug and it shall be started again, press your hand on top of the lid with a towel,
an oven glove or similar – and be aware of possible splashing of warm liquid. Never blend
warm liquid alone as the pressure in the jug will be too high.
Important!
If you are to blend frozen ingredients (e.g. fruit, berries, vegetables), this should be done
right after the ingredients have been put into the glass jug. If not, the ingredients will freeze
to a firm lump that might block the knives during use. Pour a little more water into the
container before switching on the appliance.
If you need to add further ingredients during use, this if possible, but you will have to switch
off the blender before removing the plug or the entire lid. Make sure that the food to be
blended is not too viscous or too dry and heavy for the motor to prepare. You may add
a little liquid through the opening in the lid if the food seems to be too heavy or you may
switch off the blender and scrape the mixture downwards towards the knife blade by means
of a rubber spatula.
REMEMBER: THE LID SHALL ALWAYS BE MOUNTED BEFORE ACTIVATING THE
BLENDER AND WE ALSO RECOMMEND TO PUT THE PLUG BACK ON AGAIN BEFORE
RESTARTING THE BLENDER!!
If the appliance is used for crushing ice, do not crush too big quantities at a time. We
recommend that you start with max 5-8 ice cubes. Add a little more water to the container
before switching on the appliance. Use the “Pulse” setting until you have obtained the result
that you want.
