using the appliance
control knob
Your blender is equipped with a special control knob with an illuminated
ring that lights up when the appliance is running.
You can set the control knob to any speed between MIN and MAX or,
even easier, use one of the three quick-select buttons: Smoothie, Ice and
Pulse.
, If you want to use a speed between MIN and MAX, turn the control
knob to the desired position.
If you have doubts about the correct speed, always select the highest speed
(MAX).
, If you want to use one of the quick-select buttons, first turn the
control knob to position ON.Then press the desired quick-select
button.
When you turn the control knob to position ON, the lights in the buttons
start to flash.
smoothie function
Use this function to prepare delicious smoothies. When you press the
SMOOTHIE button, the appliance starts mixing the smoothie according to
the appropriate speed profile. To stop the process, press Smoothie button
again.
Smoothies are thick drinks made of frozen or fresh fruit and fruit juices
mixed together, sometimes with ice, ice cream, milk or yoghurt. See chapter
‘Recipes’ for a few examples. Add more liquid to make a thinner smoothie
and add more frozen or fresh fruit to make a thicker smoothie.
ice button
The blender is equipped with a special speed profile for crushing ice.
When you press the Ice button, the appliance starts crushing the ice
according to the appropriate speed profile.To stop the ice-crushing
process, press the Ice button again.
The ice will be crushed within a few seconds and the result is tiny, regular
pieces of ice. For instance, if you want to get crushed ice out of 5 ice cubes,
press the Ice button, let the appliance complete 5 crushing cycles and then
switch off the appliance. If you want the ice to be crushed into snow, turn
the control knob to maximum speed or press the Pulse button for a few
seconds. If the result is still too coarse, press the Pulse button again.
