FAQs and Troubleshooting Guide
Can I use the blender without the lid cap inside the lid?
No, the cap is part of the lid and must be in place for processing, otherwise you
risk food spilling out of the jug during processing. Remove the lid cap to add
ingredients, but make sure to replace it again for processing.
Blended food is leaking out of the glass jug. What has gone wrong?
If liquid is leaking out of the base of the jug, check and ensure that the jug
assembly is properly put together. The sealing ring should sit firmly on the inner
edge of the blade assembly, and the glass jug mounted securely on the jug base –
see page 9 for assembly instructions.
If food is leaking from the top of the jug, it may be overfilled. Always leave room in
the jug for processing. Also ensure the lid and lid cap are securely in place.
Does the glass jug come apart for cleaning?
Yes, the jug base and blade assembly can be removed for easy cleaning. Follow
the assembly instructions on page 9 in reverse order. Handle with care, the blades
are very sharp. Alternatively, let the machine run briefly for quick cleaning with a
little water and detergent, as described on the opposite page.
When should I use the Pulse function?
The Pulse function is useful for blending thicker or more solid ingredients, as
blending in short bursts prevents the blades from becoming stuck. It is also
recommended for blending ingredients which you do not want to overprocess but
retain a coarser consistency.
What is the best way to puree cooked vegetables for baby food?
For pureeing, feed small portions into the glass jug one by one instead of adding all
ingredients at once. Do not blend hot liquids; cooked vegetables should be cooled
to room temperature before processing. Depending on the type of vegetable, you
may have to add a little liquid for a creamier consistency.
Can I crush ice in the blender?
Yes, the blades are strong enough to crush ice. With the motor switched off, add
ice cubes to the blender, replace the lid and then press the ice-crushing button
repeatedly to process.
Can I blend soup in the blender?
No, always let liquids cool to room temperature before processing. Processing hot
liquids may result in steam creation and expulsion of hot liquid, which could cause
injury.
