Hints and Tips
• Ensure the maximum level on the
blender jug is not exceeded. Ensure
the lid fits securely and the inner
cap is on.
• When crushing ice cubes in the
blender, always use the pulse
setting and ensure the blender jug
is completely dry.
• Use ‘LOW’ speed for dressings,
marinades and foods that require
blending until just combined.
• Use ‘HIGH’ speed for pureeing
smoothie or cocktail making.
• Use ‘PULSE’ for mixtures that require
short bursts of power such as thick
liquids, ice or chopping nuts.
• Ensure all removable parts have
been thoroughly washed and dried
before assembly.
• Ensure the blender is correctly
assembled before operating.
• Ensure the blender is used on a
clean and dry surface.
• Place liquids into blender jug
before solid ingredients except
where specified in recipes.
• Cut all food into small cubes
(approx 2-3 cm square) to achieve
an even result.
• If mixing hard and soft foods
together, begin with the hard
foods and then add soft foods.
Continue blending until you have
reached the desired consistency
and even texture.
• To add ingredients during blending,
remove the inner cap on the lid
and drop solid ingredients or pour
liquids through the lid opening.
Use a container with a pouring lip,
such as a measuring cup, when
adding liquids.
• Place one hand on top of the
blender lid and hold it down
when blending large quantities
of thin liquids. This will prevent the
lid from popping off due to
excessive pressure.
NOTE: Do not blend dry, thick
or heavy mixtures for more than
1 minute without switching off
the blender and stirring the
ingredients with a plastic spatula,
and then continuing blending.
• For simple blending tasks, for
example, mayonnaise, salad
dressings etc., do not operate
for longer than 1 minute at one
single time.
• Do not use the blender to store food.
• Do not use the blender to beat egg
whites as it will not incorporate air.
• Do not use the blender to
mash potatoes.
• Do not use the blender to knead
dough or other heavy mixtures.
• Do not place large pieces of
solid or frozen foods into the
blender jug. Always break pieces
before blending.
• Do not remove the blender jug or
lid while the blender is operating.
Always switch off at the power
outlet and unplug at the
power point before removing
the blender jug.
• Do not overfill by exceeding the
maximum mark on the blender jug.
Some mixtures increase in volume
during blending.
• Do not overload the blender with
more than specified amounts.
Overloading could cause the
motor to stall.
• Do not process boiling liquids or hot
ingredients. Allow hot ingredients to
cool before placing them into the
blender jug.
• Do not expose the glass jug to
sudden temperature changes (i.e.
immersing the jug into hot water
directly after immersing it into cold
water or vice versa).
