Hints & Tips
Do's
• If the volume (while blending) is below the
maximum mark, the inner measuring cap can
be removed and oils/liquids can be added
while blender is in use.
• Run the blender only for the appropriate
amount of time required – do not over
blend ingredients.
• Do not exceed the maximum mark when
adding foods and liquids into the blender.
• Ingredients may stick to the sides of the
blender jug. To push food back onto the
blades, turn the blender off and unplug at the
wall. Use a plastic spatula to scrape down the
sides of the jug, and continue blending.
• If any moisture or liquid appears on top of
the motor base during blending, turn the
blender off and unplug at the wall. Remove
the blender jug, and wipe motor base
immediately with a dry cloth or paper towel.
• A speed or function can be selected at any
time, even while the blender is running.
Press the new speed or program, and the
blender will change operation immediately.
Use the BLEND function for drinks,
cocktails, emulsions such as mayonnaise,
dressings, marinades and foods that require
mixing until combined, also use for batters,
pureeing soups and aerating liquids.
Use a combination of the BLEND and
AUTO PULSE / ICE CRUSH functions to
process the foods being blended.
Use the SMOOTHIE function to blend
fruits, ice cream and yogurts into thick
smoothies, blended drinks, and milkshakes.
Use the AUTO PULSE / ICE CRUSH
function with short bursts of power and
when blending drinks containing ice cubes
or frozen fruit.
Ensure all foods are cut into cubes (approx.
1 square inch) where appropriate to achieve
an even result.
Do not put more than 2 cups (473g) of
warm ingredients into the blender jug
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
your 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.
