• Use the function 3–4 for drink or cocktail
making, emulsions such as mayonnaise,
dressings, marinades and foods that
require mixing until just combined, such
as batters, also for pureeing soups and
aerating liquids.
• Use a combination of the
Blend/Pulse functions to suit the foods
being processed.
• Use the Smoothie function to blend
fruits, ice cream and yogurts into thick
smoothies, whips and milkshakes.
• Use the Ice Crush function for foods that
only require short bursts of power such as
chopping nuts and crushing ice.
• Use the Ice Crush function with short
bursts of power, when blending drinks
containing ice cubes or frozen fruit.
• Ensure all foods are cut into cubes
(approx. 2cm square) where appropriate to
achieve an even result.
• Do not put more than 2 cups of warm
ingredients into the blender before
blending commences. After the blending
process has begun and the blades are
turning you may slowly add another 1½
cups of ingredients through the opening
in the lid if desired.
• Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if
the blender is ¼ to ½ full.
• When using several ingredients, place
liquid ingredients in the blender jug
before solid ingredients, unless specified
in the recipe. When blending thick or
dry mixtures it may be necessary to stop
the blender and scrape down the sides of
the blender jug with a plastic or rubber
spatula, once or twice during blending.

• Do not use metal utensils as they may
damage the blades or blender jug.
• Do not operate a heavy mixture for more
than 10 seconds. For normal blending
tasks, for example, mayonnaise, dressings
etc., do not operate for longer than 2
minutes at one time without turning off
the blender and stirring the ingredients,
and then continue blending.
• Do not operate the blender without
having the blender lid in position. To add
additional ingredients during blending,
remove the inner lid and place ingredients
through the opening in the lid.
• Do not place any objects, other than food
or liquid, into the blender while the motor
is running.
• Do not use the blender jug to store food.
• The blender will not knead dough or mash
potatoes.

the blender is operating. Always make
sure the blender is switched off by
pressing the POWER button, switch off
the power at the power outlet and unplug
the power cord from the power outlet.
• Do not overload the blender with more
than the specified quantity of ingredients
as doing so could cause the motor to stall.
Once the icon stops flashing the blender

have turned the blender off you will need
to switch it back on and only if the icon
has stop flashing commence blending as
usual.

into the blender; allow to cool before
placing into the blender jug.
