WARNING
Rotating Blades Can Cause
Severe Injury.
•
DO NOT
put hands, spatulas etc.
into the container while the machine
is running or while the container is
still on the base.
•
Lids and tampers are not
interchangeable between different
container styles, types and sizes.
Use the tamper that was supplied
with your machine.
IMPORTANT!
•
The splash disk (near the top of
the tamper) and lid prevent the
tamper from hitting the blades
when the lid is secured properly
in the locked position.
•
The container should not be
more than two-thirds full when
the tamper is used during
blending.
•
To avoid overheating during
blending, DO NOT use the
tamper for more than
30 consecutive seconds.
•
If the food does not circulate,
the machine may have trapped
an air bubble. Carefully remove
HOW TO USE THE TAMPER
the lid plug, while making sure the lid stays firmly in place. Release the air
bubble by inserting the tamper through the lid plug opening.
•
Holding the tamper straight down may not help the ingredients circulate.
If necessary, point the tamper towards the sides or corners of the container.
DO NOT try to force the tamper more deeply into the container.
HINTS FOR SETTING SPEEDS
CAUTION
To Avoid Possible Burns, Never
Start on Speeds Above 1 when
Processing Hot Liquids.
Escaping steam, splashes or contents
may scald.
To secure the contents, lock the lid
and lid plug securely in place prior to
operating the machine.
Always start on Variable 1, then slowly
increase to 10.

Always start the machine with the left switch down in
the Variable ( ) position and with the centre Variable-
Speed Dial on 1. Slowly turn the Variable-Speed Dial to
the desired speed depending on the recipe used. If a
recipe calls for processing on High ( ), slowly rotate
the Variable-Speed Dial to 10 and then push the High/
Variable Switch up into the High ( ) position.
Do not
begin processing on Variable 10 or directly on the High
( ) setting
.
Process on the High ( ) setting for as much of the
processing time as possible to make whole food juices,
soups, shakes, frozen mixtures, purées, nut butters and
for grinding grains. Processing times will generally be
less than one minute (most take less than 30 seconds).
High ( ) speed provides the best quality of refinement,
breaking down ice, frozen fruit, whole fruits or vegetables,
and grains to a smooth lump-free consistency.
TIP:
Blending for too long at too low a speed setting will
overheat the machine and cause the Automatic Overload
Protection to turn off the machine. Use the High ( )
speed as often as possible to achieve the most uniform
consistency. Blending on High ( ) speed also maximises the motor’s cooling fan
to avoid overheating.
