ADDING INGREDIENTS
22 If you need to add ingredients after you’ve started blending:
a) turn the cap anti-clockwise
b) lift the cap off
c) add the fresh ingredients
d) replace the cap
e) turn the cap clockwise
23 Check that the added ingredients don’t push the volume over the 1.0 mark.
C
FINISHED?
24 Turn the speed control to 0, and wait till the blades stop moving before removing the lid
from the jug, or removing the jug from the motor unit.
25 To remove the jug, turn it 2-3cm anti-clockwise, then lift it off the drive.
C
HOT LIQUIDS
26 Before pouring into the jug, let the liquid cool down to the sort of temperature you can
handle comfortably – i.e. keep the liquid temperature below 40°C.
C
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
27 Switch off (0) and unplug before cleaning.
28 Clean as soon after use as possible, to prevent residues setting inside the jug.
29 Wash the jug and lid in warm soapy water, rinse well, then leave them to drain and air dry.
30 If you’ve left it too long before cleaning, and bits have glued themselves to the inside of the
jug, use a nylon brush.
31 You may put the jug and lid in a dishwasher, but the harsh environment inside the
dishwasher will affect the surface finishes. The damage should be cosmetic only, and should
not affect the operation of the appliance.
32 Wipe the outside surfaces of the blender with a clean damp cloth.
C
REMOVING THE BLADE UNIT
33 Grip the jug base with one hand.
34 Grip the jug handle with the other hand.
35 Turn the handle anti-clockwise to release the jug base.
36 Lift the blade unit off the jug base.
37 Lift the seal off the blade unit.
38 Use a nylon brush to clean the blades – don’t touch the blades.
39 Wash the seal in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry.
C
REPLACING THE JUG BLADE UNIT
40 Fit the seal to the blade unit.
41 Lower the blade unit into the jug base.
42 Lower the jug into the top of the jug base.
43 Turn the jug clockwise to lock it in place.
,
Don’t fit the jug base to the drive without the jug.
C
STAINING
44 Carotenoids, which are found in many vegetables, can cause severe staining, which may be
impossible to remove. Don’t worry about it, it won’t affect the operation of the appliance.
45 If you want to try, then you could soak the stained parts overnight in one of the following:
a) quarter of a cup of household bleach in a sink full of warm water
b) a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to two parts warm water
c) half a small packet of baking soda in enough warm water to cover the parts
,
Don’t try to mix these methods. You may make a mess, you may cause nasty eye-watering,
breath-catching fumes, and you may harm the parts you’re trying to clean.
