PRIOR TO FIRST USE
Each individual appliance is checked at the
factory, but for safety’s sake, please check
carefully after unpacking for damage during
transport. Check for visible damage (e.g. cracks
or scratches). If the appliance appears to have
been damaged, contact the shop where you
bought it, and do not use it until it has been
checked by an authorised specialist.
Clean all parts that come in direct contact with
food before using the appliance for the first time.
USING YOUR BLENDER SET
Fit either the removable blender shaft (5) or mini
chopper (9) to the motor unit (3).
Fitting the blender shaft
Fit the blender shaft to the motor unit by inserting
the spindle into the middle of the shaft, and into
the socket on the motor unit. Carefully turn the
shaft anticlockwise until the arrow on the outside
is aligned with the closed padlock symbol (4) on
the motor unit and you hear a slight click. To
remove the shaft, turn it carefully clockwise until
the arrow is aligned with the open padlock
symbol (4) on the motor unit.
Fitting the mini chopper
Fit the blade (8) into the mini chopper. Fit the lid
(7) onto the mini chopper and check that the lugs
on the lid fit into the recesses on the inside of the
mini chopper. Fit the motor unit to the lid by
inserting the spindle in the middle of the lid into
the socket on the motor unit. Turn the lid carefully
anticlockwise until it locks with a slight click.
Remove the lid by turning it carefully clockwise
until it comes loose.
Blending in the jug
Attach the blender shaft to the motor unit as
described under Fitting the blender shaft. Place
the food items to be blended into the jug (10).
Hold the jug firmly with one hand. Place the
blender shaft into the jug until it touches the food
items and switch on by pressing one of the speed
selection switches (2) and holding it down. The
blender will run as long as you hold the button
down.
Chopping and blending in the mini chopper
Attach the mini chopper shaft to the motor unit as
described under Fitting the mini chopper. Place
the food items to be chopped or blended in the
mini chopper. Hold the mini chopper firmly with
one hand and switch on by pressing one of the
speed selection switches (2) and holding it down.
The blender will run as long as you hold the
button down.
NB: We recommend the blender does not run
for more than 1 minute at a time when blending
or chopping. Allow the appliance to cool for a
little while before continuing.
Tips
•Wash fruit and vegetables thoroughly before
blending or chopping them.
Peel fruits such as oranges, lemons,
mandarins, mango, kiwi, melon and pineapple
before blending or chopping.
Remove any pips, stones etc from fruit before
blending or chopping.
Slice fruit, vegetables and meat into small
pieces before putting them into the jug or mini
