Pulse Function
Pressing the pulse button will give you a short burst at maximum speed,
regardless of the current speed of the blades. The button is spring-loaded.
When you stop pressing, it will return to the speed the switch is pointing at.
Do not run the motor continuously for more than 2 minutes, or it may overheat. After 2
minutes, switch off for at least 3 minutes to cool down. This will help to prolong the
life of your appliance.
Crushing Ice
Before using the blender to crush ice, make sure it is clean and rinse it out thoroughly.
Any remaining trace of detergent may affect the taste of the crushed ice and will
flatten any drink to which it has been added.
Ice cubes come in many shapes and sizes. You will have to experiment with the ice
from your ice cube tray. Insert a maximum of 8 ice cubes and add 15ml
(1 tablespoon) of fresh cold water. Put the lid on the blender and turn the control knob
to
“P”. While the unit is blending, hold for 2 seconds and release for 2 seconds. Note
that too much blending will reduce the ice to liquid, too little will merely chip the
edges/corners off the ice. Do not try to crush ice without adding water to the jug.
Do not be tempted simply to increase the amount of ice and blend for longer
–
this will not work. Too much ice will never give you satisfactory results.
Adding ingredients
If you need to add ingredients while the blender is working, lift the cap off,
pour the new ingredients through the hole then replace the cap. Make sure
that the added ingredients do not push the volume in the jug past the 1.5L
/ 1500ml mark.
