OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: VCM1500 & VCM1390
The Semak Vitacrush chops, blends and mixes quickly and efficiently. Use it to make
sauces, soups, purees etc.
1.
Before connecting to electrical outlet, wash the container and its parts and also,
wipe the blender base with a damp cloth.
2.
Ensure that the power supply is also switched off before connecting to the
electrical outlet. Turn the power ON.
3.
Turn the blender ON at the switch found at the rear left hand side of the machine.
4.
Place the container on the blender. Ensure that the lid and insert are properly
located on the container. If a sound cover is being used, close the sound cover
before operating the blender.
5.
Turn the ON OFF switch to the on position. Use the variable speed control knob to
select the speed that you want to blend at. Use the pulse switch to pulsate the
mixture as required.
6.
To prevent splashing, do not lift the container lid or open the sound cover whilst
still in operation.
7.
When mixing or blending hot ingredients, the following precautions should be
observed:
Take care not to lift the lid without checking if pressure has built up in the
container. Release pressure slowly by turning the lid insert a little allowing
steam to escape and taking care not to burn fingers.
Do not stand directly over container of hot ingredients when removing the lid.
If necessary allow to stand so that steam escapes slowly.
8.
Do not leave the blender unattended or leave contents in the container when not
in operation.
9.
The blender is overload protected. If the motor gets too hot it will cease to
operate. Allow the blender to cool down then reset the overload switch by
pressing the button located on the bottom right hand side of the rear of the
appliance.
10.
If the overload is tripped it may be necessary to modify how or what you are
blending e.g. reduce the amount being blended to smaller amounts or reduce the
time selected or add more liquid. Seek advice if necessary.
