HINTS & TIPS
HINTS AND TIPS
• Do not put more than 2 cups of
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 inner
measuring cup opening if desired.
• Do not blend a heavy mixture for more
than 1 minute at one time without
switching off the blender. For normal
blending tasks, such as mayonnaise,
dressings, etc., do not operate for longer
than 1 minute at one time without
switching off the blender, stirring the
ingredients then continuing operation.
• Do not place hot or boiling foods and/
or liquids into the blender; allow to cool
before placing into the blender jug.
• When using several ingredients, place
liquid ingredients in the blender jug
first unless specified in the recipe to
do otherwise.
• When blending thick or dry mixtures
it may be necessary to stop the blender
and scrape down the sides of the jug,
once or twice, during blending.
• The blender will not knead dough or
mash potatoes.
• The blender is not designed to chop/
mince meat or extract juice from fruit
and vegetables.
• Thick mixtures such as patés, puree
more efficiently when the blender jug is
¼ to ½ full.
• Do not use the blender to store food.
• Do not overload the blender with
more than the specified quantity of
ingredients as doing so could cause the
motor to stall. Turn the blender off by
turning the speed selection dial to the
OFF position, switch off at the power
outlet and unplug the power cord.
Remove a portion of the mixture from
the blender jug before continuing.
• Do not operate the blender without the
blender lid in position. To add additional
ingredients whilst blending, remove the
inner measuring cup and place or pour
ingredients through the opening in the lid.
• Do not fill the blender jug above the
MAX line. When the blender jug is filled
at or near the MAX line, hold the blender
lid in place to avoid displacement of the
lid during operation.
• Do not use metal utensils as they may
damage the blades or blender jug.
• Do not place any objects, other than
food or liquid, into the blender whilst the
motor is running.
• Do not remove the blender jug when the
blender is operating. Always ensure the
speed selection dial is turned to the OFF
position, the appliance is switched off at
the power outlet and the power cord is
unplugged from the power outlet.
SUGGESTED USES
Crush ice
To crush ice, place 1 cup of ice cubes into
the blender jug. Replace the lid and turn the
speed selection dial to the Pulse setting for
short bursts until a snowy textured ice is
achieved. This will take approximately 15
seconds. When crushing ice, hold lid in place
to avoid displacement during operation.
Bread crumbs
Remove the crusts from the bread and tear
into pieces. Process sufficient pieces at a
time to cover the blades. Up to 5 slices at
a time can be crumbed. Stale bread will
produce the best results.
Chopped nuts
Process ¾ cup of nuts at a time. Use the
Pulse setting as this will give more even
chopping.
