Before placing in the container, you must cut the hard fruit and vegetables
into pieces of about 1 cm. Even softer food types should be pre-cut into
smaller pieces before mixing. This will increase the mixing efficiency. If you
are preparing a multi-ingredient meal requiring mixing of the ingredients at
different rates, mix the individual ingredients separately.
• Do not overfill containers to prevent damage.
• For optimum results, it is recommended not to fill more than half the
capacity of the container and pieces of solid food should not exceed 15
mm.
• To cut fruit/vegetables, place half a cup of fruit/vegetables in a container.
Mix continuously until you reach the desired consistency.
• To mix fruit/vegetables, add half a cup of water per half cup of fruit/
vegetables to the hard fruit/vegetables. Add a quarter of a cup of water per
half cup of fruit/vegetables to the soft fruit/vegetable.
• Avoid premixing. In pulse mode, mix for a few seconds, not minutes.
Premixing produces a slurry.
• Do not overfill the mixing bowl.
• Fill the container first with liquid until it is solid (unless otherwise prescribed
by the recipe).
• When mixing beverages, you can put all ingredients in the container at the
same time.
• Mix ice only when there is adequate liquid in the container.
• If mixing stops during operation, turn off the appliance, remove the
container, remove the knife handle and allow the base to cool.
• Use a rubber spatula to wipe away food from the container and from the
blades.
