USING YOUR JUG BLENDER
This blender has been designed for soups, sauces, batter, mayonnaise, milkshakes, smoothies and more. It will
puree fruit and cooked vegetables; mix pâtés and dips; chop breadcrumbs, nuts, vegetables and meat; and
crush ice. There are six dedicated programmes to choose from at the touch of a button – BLEND, GRATE, MIX,
WHIP, PUREE and PULSE, which gives an instant burst of extra power, and will also crush ice.
1.
Place your ingredients inside the blender jug, taking care not to fill above 1.5 litre.
2.
Press the lid onto the jug. Put the filler cap into the lid opening, and turn it clockwise until locked.
3.
Making sure the power unit is switched off and unplugged, place the jug onto the power unit. Plug into the
mains socket.
4.
Switch on the blender by pressing the on/off switch. A flashing blue light will show the blender is switched
on.
5.
Place your hand on top of the jug and press one of the six pre-set buttons. It will light up blue when
selected.
BLEND: for soups, sauces, batter, milkshakes, smoothies etc; also for mayonnaise.
GRATE: for chopped nuts, meat, vegetables and breadcrumbs.
MIX: for dips, pâtés etc, and for combining liquid and solid ingredients.
WHIP: to froth milk, whip cream and scrambled eggs.
PUREE: to puree fruit and cooked vegetables.
PULSE: to crush ice, or to give an instant shot of power; also helps to avoid over-processing e.g. when
mixing fruit cake.

When the food is processed, switch off the blender by pressing the on/off switch. Unplug before lifting off
the jug and cleaning.
PLEASE NOTE: food should not be stored in the jug after blending.
HELPFUL HINTS
•
The blender has suction feet to help keep it steady on your worktop. For extra safety, always keep your
hand on top of the blender lid whenever it is running.
•
Cut solid ingredients into small pieces, around 1”/2.5cm. For best results, add to the jug a little at a time.
•
Always let soups, sauces and cooked foods cool to room temperature before blending.
•
To add extra ingredients as you blend, remove the filler cap from the lid. This feature is especially useful
when making mayonnaise, allowing you to slowly drip-feed the oil. The cap is helpfully graduated up to
50ml.
•
For crushed ice, add just a few cubes at a time, with a small amount of water.
•
Solid or thick ingredients may need scraping down from the jug sides with a spatula. Remember to switch
off and unplug the blender first. If the mixture is difficult to process, add a little liquid or press PULSE.
•
To avoid overheating, do not run the blender for more than 1 minute at a time. Let the motor rest for
1 minute before continuing.
•
To quickly rinse the jug between tasks, firstly switch off and unplug the blender. Lift off the jug and fill it
with water, then replace the lid. Place the jug back on the power unit, plug in and press the on/off button.
Press PULSE several times, then switch off and unplug. Pour out the water and rinse the jug under the
tap, then dry.
CARE AND CLEANING
Always switch off and unplug the blender before cleaning. Wipe the power unit with a damp cloth, then dry. It

Once all the parts are clean and dry, fit the sealing ring back over the blades, then place the blades inside
the jug base.
