Hints and Tips
• Ensure the maximum level on the
blender jug is not exceeded. Ensure
the lid fits securely and the inner
cap is on.
• Use ‘LOW’ speed for dressings,
marinades and foods that require
blending until just combined.
NOTE: Do not blend dry, thick
or heavy mixtures for more than
1 minute without switching off
the blender and stirring the
ingredients with a plastic spatula,
and then continuing blending.
• Use ‘HIGH’ speed for pureeing
smoothie or cocktail making.
• Use‘PULSE’for mixtures that require
short bursts of power such as thick
liquids or chopping nuts.
• Ensure all removable parts have
been thoroughly washed and dried
before assembly.
• Ensure the blender is correctly
assembled before operating.
• Ensure the blender is used on a
clean and dry surface.
• Place liquids into the blender jug
before solid ingredients except
where specified in recipes.

(approx 2–3 cm square) to achieve
an even result.
• If mixing hard and soft foods
together, begin with the hard
foods and then add soft foods.
Continue blending until you have
reached the desired consistency
and even texture.
• For simple blending tasks, for
example, mayonnaise, salad
dressings, do not operate for
longer than 1 minute at one
single time.
• Do not use the blender to store food.

• To add ingredients during blending,
remove the inner cap on the lid
and drop solid ingredients or pour
liquids through the lid opening.
Use a container with a pouring lip,
such as a measuring cup, when
adding liquids.
