HINTS AND TIPS
• If the volume (while blending) is below
the maximum line, the inner measuring
cap can be removed and oils/liquids can
be added while blender is in use.
• Run the blender only for the appropriate
amount of time required – do not over
blend ingredients.
• Use the PULSE | ICE CRUSH button when
food is too thick or coarse to circulate
within the blender jug.
• The scraper and frozen dessert tamper
accessories can be used during blending
by removing the inner measuring cap.
Always make sure the main lid stays
rmly in place.
• Do not exceed the maximum mark
when adding foods and liquids into the
blender.
• Ingredients may stick to the sides of the
blender jug. To push food back onto the
blades with the main lid on (inner cap
removed), use the scraper provided to
scrape down the sides of the jug, and
continue blending.
• If any moisture or liquid appears on top
of the motor base during blending, turn
the blender o and unplug from the
outlet. Remove the blender jug, and wipe
motor base immediately with a dry cloth
or paper towel.
• The maximum amount of ice cubes that
the blender can process is 250g (approx.
1 standard ice tray).
• When the blender has been running
for 6 minutes in manual mode, it will
automatically turn o. This is a safety
feature to protect the motor.
• Thicker mixtures puree more eciently
if the jug is ¼ to ½ full.
• Do not use metal utensils, as they may
damage the blades or blender jug.
• Dates and other dried fruits may vary
in hardness and moisture content. If
adding dried fruits to smoothies, use the
tamper for the rst 15-20 seconds of the
SMOOTHIE or GREEN SMOOTHIE setting.
• To make nut milks, add 1-2 cups of raw
or soaked/drained nuts. Process on
CHOP of 15-20 seconds, or until evenly
chopped. Soaked nuts may need the
scraper spatula to assist movement as the
blades chop. Once evenly chopped, add
3-4 cups of puried water, and process on
MILL for 2 minutes. Strain through a nut
milk bag (or muslin / cheesecloth) over
a large bowl or jug. Close bag and
squeeze the pulp in the bag to extract as
much milk as you can.
• To soak or not to soak nuts? This is
a personal preference and you can make
nut milks with unsoaked or soaked
almonds. Almonds are a great source of
protein however they contain a naturally
occurring compound that may prevent
our enzymes from digesting the nuts
eectively. Try soaking nuts overnight to
help break down the compound. Always
rinse and drain soaked nuts before use.
• Roasting nuts to make nut butter allows
their natural oils to be released during
blending, and enriches the avour. Some
nuts, such as almonds and hazelnuts,
have a lower oil content. Add rice
bran, macadamia or coconut oil when
blending, if needed.
