Blender, read the following instructions:
1. With the front of the motor base facing
toward you, place the blending jug onto
the motor base with the handle to the
right. You will notice a solid grey arrow
under the handle of the blending jug;
when placing the jug onto the base, this
arrow needs to sit on top of the light
grey arrow on the motor base.
The blending jug is now in the correct
position for you to lock it into place.
Simply hold the handle of the jug and
turn it to the right, until you hear a slight
click.
Note: You will know if the jug is in the
correct position if the solid grey arrow
on the jug is aligned with the solid grey
arrow on the motor base.
2. Position the lid onto the blender jug
so that the long holding lip is facing
towards you.
Turn the holding lip to the right, approxi-
mately 45°; the holding lip should be flush
with the lop of the jug handle.
Crushing ice
Simply add ice to the blender and a small
quantity of water, which will aid in the
crushing process. Then press the pulse
button continually on and off and in sec-
onds your ice is fluffy and snowflake-like.
Pulse setting
The pulse button provides short bursts
of power, so that you can prepare bread-
crumbs, grind chocolate, finely grind nuts
and biscuits.
You can also use the Pulse button for
cleaning the blender. Simply pour in some
warm water and a small amount of deter-
gent, then use the pulse button for a few
seconds. The unit will clean itself, without
you having to handle the sharp blades.
Rinse and dry, being careful, as the blades
are sharp.
Handy Blending Hints
1. Nothing can beat a blender for mak-
ing smooth purees and sauces or for
whipping up frothy drinks - from healthy
breakfast shakes to frozen daiquiris.
2. Use your blender for chopping small
amounts of food like nuts, bread-
crumbs and whole spices.
3. Turn any oil-based salad dressing into
a creamy style dressing by blending it
until slightly thickened.
4. A brief whirl in the blender will rescue
lumpy gravy, or an egg based sauce
that has separated.
5. When crushing ice, add 1/2 cup of
water, as this will aid in the ice crushing
process. Continue pulsing until the ice
is completely crushed and it has a snow
flake texture.
6. Food items for blending should be cut
into cubes (approximately 2-3 cm), this
will assist in an even result.
7. Ensure the lid is firmly and securely
placed on the jug. Do not operate the
blender without the lid, if you wish to
add any additional ingredients remove
the measuring cup and add as neces-
sary.
8. Never fill above the maximum level indi-
cator.
9. To ensure efficient mixing when blending
dry mixtures, it may be necessary to stop
the blender and push ingredients down
the sides of the jug with a spatula.
10. When pureeing fruits or vegetables,
cooked or raw, cut into small pieces to
facilitate blending.
11. When making breadcrumbs, use 2 to 3
day old bread, leaving crusts on to min-
imise the possibility of dumping. If only
fresh bread is available, dry it out for a
few minutes in the oven on low heat.
12. When blending a variety of ingredients
together, blend the liquids first, and
then add dry ingredients.
13. Always ensure stones are removed
