OPERATING THE BLENDER
7. To stop blending at any time, press the
START | STOP button. Lower the Safety
Locking Arm and ensure the blades have
completely stopped before removing the
Blender Jug from the Motor Base.
NOTE
If necessary, turn the Blender off and
ensure the blades have completely
stopped before using a plastic spatula
to occasionally stir or scrape down the
sides of the Blender Jug. Replace the
Lid before recommencing blending.
Do not use metal utensils as these may
damage the blades or Blender Jug.
8. After each use, remove the Blade
Assembly with the Silicone Gasket
still in place, from the Blender Jug.
Disassemble the Silicone Gasket from
the Blade Assembly. Wash the Blender
Jug, Lid, Inner Lid, Removable Silicone
Gasket and Removable Blade in warm
soapy water or in the dishwasher
(see Cleaning the Blender, page 39).
Alternatively, immediately fill the
Blender Jug halfway with warm (not hot)
water and add 1-2 drops of dishwashing
liquid. Place the Blender Jug on the
Motor Base. Select speed 1/MIX and
run the Blender for 10-20 seconds.
Remove the Blender Jug and discard
the contents. Rinse the Blender Jug with
warm water until clean.
6. Push the START | STOP button. If
necessary, the 30ml (1oz) Inner Lid can
be used to measure and add ingredients
while blending. Remove the Inner Lid
and add ingredients while on speeds
1/MIX, 2/CHOP or 3/BLEND. When
operating at higher speeds; with a
Blender Jug filled at or near the ‘MAX’
line; or with hot contents; stop the
Blender before adding ingredients.
In addition to the 5 speed settings, the
Blender features 3 additional settings:
SMOOTHIE and ICE settings
• These are pre-programmed cycles which
automatically adjust the blending times
and speeds to optimize blending results.
Rotate the speed control dial to the
SMOOTHIE or ICE setting. The pre-
programmed cycle will commence then
automatically switch off. You may notice
the blending speed change mid-cycle,
this is normal.
• Process up to one standard ice cube
tray or 12-14 standard ice cubes at one
time. The type of ice used will affect the
consistency of the crushed ice. To create
even, powdery snow for icy drinks and
cocktails, use the ICE setting and large,
solid, dry ice that has come straight
from the freezer (-5.6ºC/22ºF, or below).
Small, slightly melted or hollow ice may
result in a coarser ice, perfect for use as a
base for fresh oysters.
PULSE setting
• For ingredients that require short
bursts of power, such as thick or coarse
mixtures, select the PULSE setting.
Rotate the speed control dial to the
PULSE setting. Press the START | STOP
button each time you want to pulse
the mixture.
