Tips for effective blending
Before placing in the container, you must pre-cut hard fruits and
vegetables into pieces measuring approx. 1 cm. Even softer types
of food are suitable for pre-cutting into smaller pieces before mixing.
This will increase the mixing effi ciency. If you are preparing a multi-
ingredient dish that requires mixing of the individual ingredients at
different performances, mix the individual ingredients of the dish
separately.
• To cut the fruit/vegetables, place the fruits/vegetables in a
container in the amount of approx. 2 cups. Mix continuously in
position
1
or
2
, or by switching the switch to the
PULSE
position
until you reach the desired consistency.
• To mix fruit/vegetables, add approx. 1 cup of liquid to 1 cup of
fruit/vegetables to the hard fruit/vegetables in the container. For
soft fruits / vegetables, add about 1/2 cup of liquid to 1 cup of
fruit/vegetables to the container.
• Avoid premixing. Mix for a few seconds, not minutes.
Premixing produces a slurry.
• Do not overfi ll the mixing bowl! Fill the container with a maximum
of 5 cups.
• Fill the container with liquids fi rst, then solids (unless prescribed
otherwise).
• To add food or ice to the container during mixing, open the middle
cover of the two-element cover and add the food through the hole.
• When mixing drinks, you can put all the ingredients in the
container at the same time.
• When mixing solid food, cut the food into small pieces (approx. 1
cm) and add it through the hole in the cover.
• While mixing add one by one ice cubes. After mixing, you can add
another cube. When mixing, gently hold the container by hand.
• Mix ice only when there is liquid in the container. Use 2 cups of
water.
• If mixing stops during operation, switch off the appliance, remove
the container lid and use the spatula to remove the contents of
the container.
• We recommend mixing potatoes with an adequate amount of
water.
