HINTS & TIPS
DO
• Use Low speeds (1 – 3) for light
mixing and stirring such as dressings,
marinades and batters and foods that
require mixing until just combined .
• Use Medium speeds (4 – 6) for heavy
mixes and chopping ingredients.
• Use High speeds (7 – 12) for blending,
liquefying and pureeing ingredients.
• Use ‘PULSE/ICE CRUSH’ for foods that
only require short bursts of power such
as crushing ice or chopping nuts.
• Ensure all foods are cut into cubes
(approximately 1 inch squares) where
appropriate to achieve an even result.
• Blend thick mixtures when the blender
is ¼ to ½ full as they will puree more
efficiently.
• Place liquid ingredients (when using
several ingredients) in the blender jug
before solid ingredients, unless specified
in the recipe.
• Stop the blender and scrape down the
sides of the blender jug with a plastic
or rubber spatula, once or twice while
blending thick or dry mixtures.
DON’T
• Do not use metal utensils as they may
damage the blades or blender jug.
• Do not put more than 2 cups of
ingredients into the blender before
blending begins. After the blending
process has begun and the blades are
turning you may slowly add extra liquid
or ingredients through the inner cup
opening if desired.
• Do not blend a heavy mixture for more
than 10 seconds. For normal blending
tasks, for example, mayonnaise,
dressings , or liquid ingredients etc., do
not operate for longer than 2 minutes
and 1 minute for dry ingredients 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 while
blending, remove the inner cup and
place ingredients through the opening
in the lid. When adding oil or other
liquids during operation, slowly pour
through the hole 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, place
one hand on the blender lid to avoid
displacement of the lid during operation.
• Do not place any objects, other than food
or liquid, into the blender while the
motor is running.
• Do not use the blender to store food.
The blender will not knead dough or
mash potatoes.
• Do not remove the blender jug while the
blender is operating. Always make sure
the blender is off by turning the Variable
Speed Dial to the ‘OFF’ position 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, if this occurs always make
sure the blender is off by turning the
Variable Speed Dial to the ‘OFF’ position
and unplug the cord. Remove a portion
of the mixture from the blender jug
before continuing.
• Do not place hot or boiling ingredients
into the blender; allow to cool before
placing into the blender jug.
WARNING
Avoid pressing the ‘PULSE /ICE CRUSH’
button when scraping down sides of jug
or when lid is removed.
