Safety switch
The appliance is provided with a safety switch which disables the
mechanism if the jar is not (or not properly) fitted.
Note: Do not use the jar to switch the appliance on and off.
Speed selection
- Before switching on, first ensure that the appliance is connected and
that the jar is correctly fitted.
- Select the speed corresponding to the ingredients you wish to process
(fig. 7):
1 for light applications with liquid ingredients, e.g. chocolate milk.
2 for thicker consistency, using liquid together with solid ingredients.
3 for heavier processes, using solid ingredients mainly.
• If you are not sure which speed to use, you can always use maximum
speed (i.e. speed 3).
• For instant (repetitive) operation at maximum speed slide the selector
to position M and release repetively (fig. 8).
- To stop the motor set the selector to position
O
(fig. 9).
Tips
• Liquid ingredients (e.g. oil for the preparation of mayonnaise) can be
poured through the small aperture in the stopper whilst the motor is
running (fig. 10).
• The opening in the lid can be used for adding ingredients whilst the
motor is running (fig. 11).
• If blending is prolonged (max. 3 minutes) the results will generally be
finer. Dry ingredients, however, should not be processed longer than
1 minute.
• Cut meat or other solid food into smaller pieces before putting them
into the blender jar.
• For best blending with solid ingredients feed a series of small portions
into the jar rather than putting one large quantity into it.
• If the blending is not performed quickly, switch off the appliance and
- switch to “Pulse”, or
- stir the ingredients with a spatula (not while blending!), or
- reduce the contents of the jar.
