Operation and tips
Always start the appliance with the centre
variable speed
dial on lowest speed
(1)
.
Gradually adjust the dial to the desired sped according to the results you are trying to
achieve or the recipe you prepare.
When following a recipe use the highest setting stipulated in the recipe book for most of
the processing time.
You can make whole fibre juices, soups, smoothies, shakes, frozen desserts, purées, nut
butters or grind grains to flour with processing times of less than one minute.
Using high speed will result in best processing quality breaking ice cubes, frozen fruit,
whole fruits or vegetables and grains to a smooth lump-free consistency liquid, paste,
sauce, ice cream or sorbet.
Processing for a very long time at low speed will overheat the appliance and may trip the
overheat protection. Processing on higher speeds increases the speed of the motor
cooling fan and avoids overheating.
7-10 minutes high speed processing of vegetables, herbs, spices and cold water is
enough to create piping hot soups from cold ingredients. The friction heat is transferred
to the liquid creating delicious soups or drinks. Hot chocolate or dairy free alternative
can be created from cold ingredients as well. To create a smooth soup with less froth
just add 1 or 2 spoons of olive oil. This will improve taste and help with the absorption of
nutrients.
If ingredients do not circulate inside the jug the appliance may be overloaded, have
trapped air or the mixture may be too solid. Ensure the lid is firmly fixed on the jug and
remove the lid plug. Insert the tamper through the lid opening and help the mixture to
move. Also reducing gradually the variable speed will help the mixture circulating. Once
the mixture starts moving increase the speed gradually.
Do not exceed the processing time. If mixture still does not circulate and recipe allows,
add small amounts of liquid to help circulation. You can also use the pulse function or
use the tamper to help the mixture circulating.
If processing
hot liquids
never load to maximum markings as there is further liquid
expansion; we advise to fill only 2/3 of the jug when using hot liquids. Always start with
lowest variable setting on hot liquids and gradually increase. Be cautious when removing
the lid as hot liquids may release steam or splash and there is a risk of scalding.
