HOW TO USE THE BLENDER
Once the blender is unpacked, wash all the parts, with the exception of the motor base, in soapy
water. Do not wash the parts in a dishwasher. Dry all parts well. Wipe the base with a damp cloth
or a sponge. Do not immerse the motor base in water. The blades are very sharp, which is why
they should be handled with care.
DIRECTIONS
- Place the food you wish to blend in the jug.
- Place the lid on the jug and close tightly. Put the measuring cup in the opening in the lid and
turn in a clockwise direction to fix securely.
SPEED SETTINGS
1: for low-power use with liquids.
2: a more solid consistency- for blending liquids and solid foods.
Turbo: to soften ice-cream; short, powerful pulse movements.
The selector switch does not remain in the “Turbo” position when released.
You must hold the selector switch in this “Turbo” position or turn it repeatedly to this
setting.
Caution: Maximum capacity of the jug is 1.5L.
After using the blender, always turn the selector switch to the OFF “0” position and unplug the
appliance. To remove the jug, simply separate from the motor base by lifting upwards. You should
not have to rotate the jug in order to remove from the base. Note: It is advisable to add water
gradually when blending solid food. It is not necessary to add water to blend foods with high
water content, for example fruits. Remember to remain alert at all times when the blender is
operating.
USEFUL TIPS
- For the best results when blending solid ingredients, place small portions in the jug instead of
putting a large quantity all at once
- If you are blending solid ingredients, cut them first into small portions (2-3cm).
- When blending solid ingredients, start by adding a small quantity of liquid. Add further
quantities of liquid through the lid opening as required.
- Always hold down the blender lid with your hand while the appliance is operating.
- Proceed carefully when blending thick liquids.
- To blend solid ingredients or very thick liquids we recommend you use the “Turbo” setting and
add a little liquid to aid blending, thereby preventing the blades from sticking with food.
ASSEMBLY AND USE
Important: the blender jug and the blades will suffer from wear and tear with normal use of the
appliance. Periodically check that the blades are not broken, chipped or loose. If the blender
appears damaged, do not use; contact an authorised service agent to get replacement blades.
- Make sure the blender is unplugged. Place the base on a clean and dry surface to prevent
from moving when the motor starts operating.
