OPERATION
GENERAL OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:
The blades are sharp. KEEP FINGERS AND HANDS
AWAY FROM BLADES. Always allow the blades to
come to a complete stop before removing the lid.
THE UNIT SHOULD BE OFF EXCEPT WHEN
PROCESSING IS UNDERWAY.
DO NOT allow the machine to run unattended.
Be sure your machine is properly assembled before
using.
Wash the bowl, blade assembly and lid after every
use. Do not store food in the bowl.
NOTE: Among other protections, the machine is
equipped with a manual reset overload circuit-
breaker. If the machine is overloaded or run too
long under heavy load conditions then the circuit-
breaker will trip. If this occurs, first remove the bowl
and reduce the amount of food being processed.
The reset button is located on the bottom left corner
of the motor base. Press the button in to reset the
overload protector.
It is recommended that the machine be operated on
a 50 % duty cycle. This is easily accomplished since
the preparation time (cleaning, coring, peeling, and
loading) takes longer than the processing time. This
will increase the life of your machine.
Learn to operate the machine using a start-stop
motion so the consistency of the product can be
controlled. Remember, it is important to start with
uniform pieces for uniform results.
The Blixer
®
will enable you to perform all your
cutting tasks in a minimum time; we recommend
therefore that you keep a close eye on the mixture
in order to obtain the desired results.
With the bowl and blade secured in place (per
previous instructions), you are now ready to add
product to the bowl.
Do not fill the bowl with any solid food over ¾ full
nor with any liquid food above the tube in center of
the bowl.
Prepare your products by cutting them into equally
sized portions (2 inches) and your end product will
be more consistent. In all cases when processing
frozen products the size of the product should not
exceed 1 inch.
To get the best results it is very important not to put
too much foodstuff in the bowl (see table on next
page) and to set the speed to the value that suits
the nature and the consistency of the food being
processed.
As a general guideline, the speed can be divided
into three ranges:
Low (300 to 900 rpm), Medium
(900 to 1,800 rpm) and
High
(1,800 to 3,500
rpm).
- The Low range is suitable to start emulsifying
while limiting splash on the upper part of bowl
and lid.
- The Medium range is suitable for most of the
solid foods.
- The High range is usually suitable to finish
emulsifying sauces or liquefying soups.
There are two ways to run your machine: Chopping
by using a quick start/stop action («pulse») or
running continuously for a fine chop or puree. Most
operations start by using the
Medium speed range.
Use this speed for chopping and general mixing
requirements.
Medium speed range is also used to
initially reduce meats and vegetables prior to turning
the machine to high speed. Some applications, like
pie crust work best around 1,100 rpm.
For most of the foods, it is advisable to start with
a few number of «pulses» with speed set in the
Medium range (900 - 1,500 rpm). A «pulse»
consists of starting the motor by pressing the Pulse
button (black) for 2 to 3 seconds, then releasing the
button for 3 additional seconds. This mode of use
allows an easy control of the achieved consistency
and do not overload the machine uselessly.
CAUTION: Bowl filled to proper level food will
form a vortex to rotate food material around the
bowl. If the vortex is not formed, food in bottom
of the bowl will process but food above the blade
will not process.
USE OF THE WIPER ASSEMBLY:
The wiper assembly is dedicated to scrap the
upper part of the bowl and to wipe the internal
surface of the lid. This is suitable to re-incorporate
in the preparation the possible small food particles
stuck away from the blades and to keep a view
on the preparation. For some preparations it also
contributes to the food turbulence in the bowl and
contributes to consistent puree. When necessary
rotate the wiper handle clockwise to push dense
food into the blade or add broth to the food to
improve food processing and consistency.
GENERAL USES:
1. TO CHOP: To achieve a chopped consistency for
vegetables, meats, cheese, etc... fill the bowl not
more than

to

full with portions no larger
than 1 to 2 inch square (¼ full for meats, cheeses
and very dense products). Set the speed in the
Medium range. Operate the machine with Pulses
until the desired consistency is reached. If the
motor stalls, reduce the amount of product in the
bowl. You may also reduce the speed.
