12 13 hints and tips

• Use the removable stopper when you need to measure small quantities. • For best results when crushing ice, add water to the blender (see page 8). Adding water will prolong the life of your blades and prevent the jug from scratching with excess use. Ice is completely crushed when it has a snow flake texture. • Do not process hot liquids in your blender, you must allow the liquid to cool. • When blending warm ingredients always ventilate the blender jug to allow the air to escape. Remove the stopper. Take care of splashing liquids. • Never fill the blender jug above the 1.5 litre mark, as the food rises when being blended. • Use a plastic or rubber spatula to gently scrape food down the sides of the blender jug when needed. Always switch the blender off, unplug it and remove the jug from the base before doing so. • It helps to put liquid ingredients into the blender before the solids unless otherwise stated in the recipes. • Your blender is not designed to grind meat or extract juice from fruit or vegetables. • Do not use the jug to store food, always transfer the mixture to a suitable storage container. • For easier cleaning, always follow the cleaning instructions on page 16 as soon as you have finished using your blender. • Make baby food by adding a small amount of liquid to a cup of fruit or vegetables and blending it on the Puree setting. Four or five seconds on this setting also will smooth out lumpy . • Use the Pulse button to make bread crumbs, grate chocolate, chop vegetables and make bases for cheescakes. • If the motor seems to be struggling at a low speed, add a little liquid and increase to the next higher speed to finish processing. • Always turn off your blender and allow the blade to completely stop before removing the lid and the jug .
