USING THE BLENDER JUG
LOCKING THE BLENDER JUG IN POSITION
1. Lower the blender jug onto the motor unit with the handle on the right. Align
on the
bottom of the blender jug with on the motor unit.
2. Ensure the blender jug is seated correctly, hold the handle and rotate clockwise to
align
on the blender jug with on the motor unit until it clicks firmly into place.
3. Place the ingredients you wish to blend into the blender jug.
IMPORTANT: Do not fill it past the 1250ml mark. If you do, the contents may force the lid
off when starting the motor.
4. Fit the lid onto the jug, press down firmly.
5. Insert the lid cap into the opening of the lid by aligning the cap tabs with the notches in the
lid opening. Turn it in a clockwise direction to lock it in place.
NOTE: Do not run the blender without the lid cap, as ingredients may be ejected through
the hole.
6. Place your hand on top of the blender jug lid to hold the jug steady. Switch the motor
unit on to the desired speed or pulse setting using the speed control. Refer to the Speed
Selection Guide on page 13 for ideal speed settings to match your blending task.
NOTE: To use the pulse setting the speed control must be held in the ‘P’ position for the
motor to run. When the switch is released, the motor will stop.
7. When finished, turn the speed control to the ‘O’ off position and wait until the blades stop
moving.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the blades have completely stopped spinning before removing the
lid from blender jug.
8. Switch the power off and remove the plug from the wall power outlet.
IMPORTANT:
•
The Lid MUST ALWAYS be in place before starting the blender.
•
Do not run the motor for longer than 1 minute. After 1 minute, switch off for at least
2 minutes to allow the motor to cool down.
•
When blending cooked ingredients always let them cool for at least 10 minutes
before blending. Liquids and ingredients should be below 40°C.
GENERAL TIPS FOR USING THE PROCESSOR
• Organise processing tasks to avoid multiple cleanups of the bowl; process dry before wet.
• To take advantage of the speed of the processor, drop foods through the food chute with
the processor running.
• Apply light pressure on the food pusher for soft foods (berries and tomatoes) and slightly
more pressure for hard foods (onions and potatoes).
• Do not process foods that are so frozen or hard that the tip of a knife cannot be inserted
into the food.
• When chopping sticky dried fruits, place the fruits in the freezer for about 10 minutes and
add a little flour to keep the pieces from sticking together.
