When creating juices, smoothies, cocktails or other cold drinks add ice cubes to keep the
mixture cold. This will allow a smother crispier texture, ensuring better taste.
When making juice or smoothies use ice cubes or cover with enough water.
When juicing or creating nut milks you may want to use a strainer, milk bag (filtration
bag) or a muslin cloth to filter the mixture if you want a liquid without any residues. We
advise to soak the nuts for at least 8 hours. Keep in the fridge while soaking.
When adding ingredients via the lid plug make sure the appliance motor stopped.
Twist the plug back into its place before restart food processing.
Always load the jug in the order listed in the recipe: liquids and soft foods first with dry
ingredients and/or ice cubes. Following this will ensure the best machine performance
and improved taste. The IQMIX is able to create smooth combinations blended to
perfection.
When processing personal recipes as a general rule liquids are to be added first than
solids (e.g. water first, than oil, flour etc.)
Using the tamper
Your appliance is supplied with a tamper that allows to
process very thick or consistent mixtures that you would not
normally be able to process in a regular blender.
Using the tamper accelerates the processing time, helps the
circulation of mixture, helps eliminating air bubbles and
pockets, ensures the mixture is homogenized and can be
processed by the blades.
Typically tamper is used in roasted nut butter making, ice
crushing and ice cream sorbet making, mincing etc.
While the machine is in operation only use the tamper through the lid opening. Press
the ingredients into the blades and make sure the food is moved from corners.
Never use any other tamper than the one provided with the appliance. The tamper
length and the splash disk (next to the top of the tamper) is designed to prevent the
tamper bottom from hitting the blades when the lid is on and secured in place.
Never fill the jug more than 2/3 full when using tamper during blending.
Do not engage the tamper for more than 30-40 seconds at a time as this may cause
overheating. Stop for at least one minute before continuing.
If the food does not move there may be air trapped inside the mixture and the tamper
may need to be moved towards the corners of the jug.
You can also use
PULSE
function to help the mixture move.
