general tips
Place the blender jug on a suitable, stable, dry, and clean working surface. (see: ›Safeguards
for Daily Operation‹). Always wipe off spilled liquids immediately. Never let any liquids run
into the motorblock or underneath it to avoid electric shock. When liquids are spilled on the
motor housing, immediately unplug the appliance and dry the motor housing to avoid risk
of electric shock or fire.
Do not
attempt to operate the appliance, when liquids are on or in
the motor housing.
waRNiNg:
Do not place the appliance on wet underlayments or clothes. If liquid has been
spilled into the inside of the motor base, do not connect the appliance to the power outlet in
order to avoid the risk of electric shock or fire, and damage to the equipment. Have the appli-
ance checked in this case in a specialised service centre.
waRNiNg:
If the blade is mounted in the blender jug, the blender jug is positioned on
the motorblock, and the plug is connected to the power outlet, do not insert your fingers, a
wooden or plastic spoon or similar cooking utensils or foreign substances in the blender jug.
Always turn the appliance ›Off‹ and wait for the motor to stop before taking the blender jug
off the motorblock, removing the lid, checking the food, pushing the food down with a spoon
or filling in more ingredients. Use cutlery made of wood, rubber or plastic only. Never use
force when trying to push the food down or trying to remove food that blocks the blade.
The Vital Mixer Pro can not replace all of your kitchen appliances. The mixer can not be used
for: beating the white of eggs or juicing fruits and vegetable. Also it is not possible to use it
for stirring very firm batter or dough or for chopping very hard ingredients such as nuts with
shell, bones or alike.
imPoRtaNt:
Do not leave any food dry on the surfaces of the appliance. Always clean the
appliance right after use (see ›Care and cleaning‹).
tips for operation
• Use the mixing function (level 1 - 2) for drink or cocktail making and emulsions such as
mayonnaise, dressings, marinades and foods that require mixing until just combined, such as
batters, also for pureeing and airing liquids.
• Use the »Smoothie Program« to blend fruits, ice cream and yoghurts into thick smoothies,
whips and milkshakes.
• Use the »Ice Crush Program« for foods that only require short bursts of power such as chop-
ping nuts or ice crushing, when blending drinks containing ice cubes or frozen fruit.
• With the »Interval Program« process food to be stirred or mixed at different speeds, such
as milk powder and sauces. The Blender starts an automatic program with different speeds.
• Ensure all foods are cut into cubes (approx. 2-3cm squares) where appropriate to achieve
an even result.
imPoRtaNt:
Do not overload the motor with food that is oversized or too hard. Turn the
appliance off as soon as the motor stalls or stucks to avoid overheating of the motor (see
›Trouble shooting‹). Fill liquid ingredients into the blender jug before solid ingredients, unless
it is described different in the recipe. Prepare your food before you fill it into the blender jug.
Do not overfill the blender jug.
• Do not put more than 2 cups of warm ingredients into the blender before blending com-
mences. After the blending process has begun and the blades are turning you may slowly
add another 1½ cups of ingredients through the opening in the lid if desired.
