• The lid cap holds up to 60mls of liquid and can be used as a measure and when
adding ingredients such as juices, milk, cream and liquor.
• When making bread crumbs, biscuit crumbs or chopping nuts ensure the blending
jug is completely dry.
• When using PULSE function use short bursts, no more than 5 seconds at a time.
Allow the blades to stop rotating between pulses. Do not use pulse for more than
1½ minutes total time.

blending process when preparing beverages that include ice cubes; this helps to
produce a smoother texture.

• It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest speed and then increase
to a higher speed, if necessary.

blending. Before beginning to blend, remove the lid cap and put it back with the
opened side tilted away from you. Cover lid with a cloth to avoid splattering and
