BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
• When pureeing solid ingredients, start with small portions in the jug and gradually add more
ingredients as they begin to combine.
• To best circulate foods or fruit that are to be blended with liquid, pour the liquid into the jug
first, then add the solid foods or fruit. Adopt the reverse action when using the blender
bottle.
• When blending liquids into solid ingredients start with a small amount of liquid and
gradually add more liquid through the lid opening. However, do not start the blender without
the cap as ingredients may be ejected through the hole.
• Always let cooked ingredients cool before blending. All food and liquid should be below
40°C.
NOTE: Always exercise extreme caution when blending any heated ingredients.
• For stirring solid or very thick liquid ingredients it is recommended that you use the blender
Pulse setting to avoid overloading the motor.
• Cut all firm, fresh fruits and vegetables into smaller pieces no larger than 1.8cm to 2.5cm for
the blender bottle. For the blender jug, food should be no larger than 4cm to 5cm.
• Ensure all frozen fruits and vegetables are no larger than 1.5cm to 2cm for both the blender
bottle and jug.
• It is recommended you use at least 250ml of liquid when using the blender bottle for optimal
results.
• Do not overload the blender jug or bottle. If the motor stalls, turn the device off immediately,
unplug the unit and let it cool for at least 15 minutes. Then remove a portion of the food and
continue.
• The lid cap holds up to 30ml of liquid and can be used as a measure when adding
ingredients such as olive oil, vinegar, milk, etc.
• When using the Pulse function, use short bursts for a maximum of 5 seconds. Allow the
blades to stop rotating between pulses.
• When using the blender jug, to stop blending at any time press the respective function
button again.
• When ingredients collect on the sides of the jug or the mixture is very thick, turn the
appliance off. Wait for the blades to stop rotating. Remove the lid and use a rubber spatula
to scrape down the sides of the jug, pushing food toward the blades. Replace the lid and
continue blending.
CAUTION: Do not insert utensils of any kind into the blender while it is running.
• Always place your hand on top of the blender jug lid to hold the jug steady when you are
operating the appliance.
IMPORTANT
• When using the blender jug the lid MUST ALWAYS be in place before starting the blender.
• The motor will automatically stop after 1 minute. To prolong the life of the motor, it is
recommended that you allow the motor to cool down for 1 minute before restarting.
• Liquids and ingredients should be below 40°C. Always ensure pre-cooked ingredients have
cooled sufficiently before placing them in the blender jug.
• Always disconnect the blender from the wall power outlet when not in use.
