Philips Batidora - Manual (Page 8)

Note: The blade unit only fits in the coupling unit in one way. When attaching the blade unit to the
coupling unit, make sure the arrow on the blade unit points towards the ‘unlocked’ symbol, then turn it to
the ‘locked’ symbol.
6 Open the dispenser cover (1) and put the assembled blender jar on the motor unit
(2) (Fig. 7).
Make sure the blender jar is properly placed and then close the dispenser cover.
7 Slide the drip tray into place (Fig. 8).
8 Put the mains plug in the wall socket.
Using the appliance
This blender is intended for making smoothies and juices. It is also suitable to prepare soups and
sauces, to process vegetables and fruits, to make batter etc.
1 Put the ingredients in the blender jar. (Fig. 9)
2 Place the lid on the blender jar and push it down to fix it (Fig. 10).
3 Place the measuring cup in the opening in the lid (Fig. 11).
Tip: If you are processing ingredients that are difficult to blend, you can use the spatula (see section
‘Spatula’ below).
4 Turn the control knob to speed 1 or 2 (Fig. 12).
If you want to process ingredients very briefly, turn the control knob to pulse position.
If you are not satisfied with the result, the following tips may help:
- Switch off the appliance and turn the control knob to pulse position a few times to let the
blender run briefly.
- Use the spatula to stir the ingredients, either while the blender is running or while the blender is
switched off.
- Switch off the appliance, remove part of the ingredients from the jar and process a smaller
amount.
- Add more liquid.
- For recipes in the chapter ‘Recipes’, switch off the appliance and let it cool down to room
temperature before you let it run again for the next operation.
- Do not let the appliance run for more than 3 minutes at a time. If you have not finished
processing after 3 minutes, switch off the appliance and let it cool down to room temperature
before you let it run again.
5 Place your glass against the dispensing lever to let the smoothie flow into the glass (Fig. 13).
You can switch off the blender to dispense the smoothie. If the smoothie does not flow out
smoothly, switch on the blender. This increases the dispensing speed.
Note: When you use a tall glass, slightly tilt the glass when you put it under the dispenser. Make sure that
the edge of the glass does not get caught behind the dispensing lever.
Tips
- If you want to crush ice cubes, put not more than 6 ice cubes (of approx. 25x35x25mm) in the
blender jar and turn the control knob to pulse position a few times.
- Do not process a large quantity of solid ingredients at the same time. To get good results, we
advise you to process these ingredients in a series of small batches.
- To make tomato juice, cut the tomatoes in four and drop the pieces through the opening in the
lid onto the rotating blades.
