BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Carefully unpack the blender and accessories, and remove any packaging. Take great care when handling
the blender stick and chopping blade; always hold the chopping blade by its plastic spindle. Wipe the
power handle and chopping bowl lid with a damp cloth, then dry. Do not immerse in water. All other
parts can be cleaned in warm, soapy water, or in the dishwasher.
BLENDING
Soups, sauces, dips, mayonnaise, milkshakes and baby food can be blended in moments. Use the
blending beaker, your own mixing bowl, or blend directly in a saucepan (take the pan off the heat and
allow to cool first).
To prevent splashing, do not fill the blending beaker above 800ml. The beaker is supplied with an anti-
slip base to help keep it steady on your worktop. Always keep a firm hold of the beaker, bowl or saucepan
as you blend. We recommend that you begin blending at low speed, and gradually increase the speed as
required.
CAUTION: before preparing baby food, always ensure the blender stick is thoroughly sterilised.
1.
Making sure the blender is unplugged, push the blender stick onto the power handle; it will click
into place. Plug into the mains socket.
2.
Lower the blender into the food before you begin blending, to prevent splashing. Press and hold
the ON button to start blending and use the speed selector dial to turn the speed up (+) or down
(-). Keep a firm hold of the beaker, bowl or saucepan handle as you blend.
3.
For maximum blending power, release the ON button, then press and hold the TURBO button.
4.
Keep the blender upright and do not let any liquid reach the power handle. Release the ON or
TURBO button at any time to stop blending. PLEASE NOTE: the blender should be used for no longer
than 1 minute at a time, or 10 seconds for hard ingredients. Never blend dry ingredients without
adding some liquid.
5.
Unplug the blender. To detach the blender stick for cleaning, press the two release buttons and
remove the blender stick, keeping your hands well away from the blades. See CARE AND CLEANING.
WHISKING

Firstly, assemble the whisk attachment by pushing the balloon whisk onto the whisk collar.
2.
Making sure the blender is unplugged, push the assembled whisk onto the power handle; it will
click into place. Plug into the mains socket.

ON button to start whisking and use the speed selector dial to turn the speed up (+) or down (-).
Keep a firm hold of the beaker or bowl as you whisk.

at a time.

Unplug the blender. To detach the whisk for cleaning, press the two release buttons and remove the
whisk. See CARE AND CLEANING.
CHOPPING
Meat, cheese, onion, fresh herbs, garlic and nuts can all be successfully chopped using the chopping bowl
and blade. However, hard foods such as coffee beans, ice cubes, nutmeg and spices will damage the
blade and should be avoided.
1.
Holding the chopping blade by its plastic spindle, slot the blade onto the pin in the chopping bowl.
Keep fingers well away from the sharp blades.
2.
Cut your ingredients into small pieces (up to 1”/2.5cm) and add to the chopping bowl.
3.
Push the lid onto the chopping bowl, turning it clockwise to click into place. Sit the bowl on its anti-
slip base to help keep it steady on your worktop.
4.
Fit the power handle into the lid.
5.
Plug the blender into a mains socket. Take a firm hold of the chopping bowl, then press and hold
the ON button to start chopping. Use the speed selector to turn the chopping speed up (+) or down
(-).
6.
For maximum chopping power, press and hold the TURBO button.
7.
Release the ON or TURBO button at any time to stop chopping. PLEASE NOTE: the chopping blade
should be used for no longer than 10 seconds at a time when chopping hard ingredients.
8.
When you have finished chopping, unplug the blender. Press the release buttons to detach the
power handle from the lid. Be sure the blade has completely stopped before removing the lid; turn
the lid anticlockwise to unlock. Carefully lift out the blade, then empty the bowl. See CARE AND
CLEANING.
