Operating the Blender

Place the blender on a level, dry sur-
3
face.
0 Plug the power cord into a power
outlet.
0 Open the lid (Fig. 1/B) and put all the
required ingredients in the blender
tank.
Important! Do not exceed the maxi-
mum capacity of 1.6 litres.
3 You can add other ingredients through
the filler hole while the blender is run-
ning. You can use the filler cup in the
lid to do this (Fig. 1/A). Close the filler
hole immediately after, to avoid
splashing.
Do not start the blender without the
1
lid (Fig. 1/B) in position.
Although the lid fits firmly to the
blender tank, we advise when blending
liquid ingredients, to place your hand
on the lid as you initially start blend-
ing. As the powerful motor could cause
the liquid to surge up causing leakage.
Once you have started blending you
can remove your hand.
0 Start the blender by turning the Speed
Selector (Fig. 1/G) to the right, or by
pressing the PULSE Button (Fig. 1/H).
We recommend starting with blender
3
Speed 1, then progressing to Speed 2
or 3. The PULSE Button runs the
blender at full speed.
The „Blending guide" on page 15 shows
the functions that can be performed
and the suggested speeds to use.
0 After you have completed blending,
turn the Speed Selector off to
position .
0 After mixing, first remove the blender
tank, before taking off the lid.
Do not let the blender run for more
1
than 2 minutes at a time using heavy
loads. After running for 2 minutes with
heavy loads, the blender should be left
to cool for at least 10 minutes.

Safety System

The safety system prevents the blender
from being operated if the blender
tank is not correctly seated.
You should nevertheless still keep
1
children away from the appiance.
Ice crushing
The blender can be used for crushing
ice.
0 Simply add ice to the blender then
press the PULSE button and hold for 1-
2 seconds and release.
Continue this process and in seconds
your ice is crushed.
Processing hot liquids
If you would like to process hot liquids
please allow to cool down until luke-
warm, fill the blender tank only half
full and start processing on low speed.
1 When processing hot liquids the blend-
er tank can become very warm, please
take care to protect your hands.
When processing hot liquids steam is
generated, please take care to avoid
burns. Ensure that the steam is allowed
ventilate out trough the lid or the hole
for the filler cup.
Handy Blending Hints
• Food items for blending should be cut
into cubes (approximately 2-3 cm), this
will assist in achieving an even result.
• To ensure efficient mixing when blend-
ing dry mixtures, it may be necessary
to stop the blender and push ingredi-
ents down the sides of the blender
tank with a spatula.
• When making bread crumbs, use 2 to
3 day old bread, to minimise the possi-
bility of clumping. If only fresh bread is
available, dry it out for a few minutes
in a low heated oven.
