USING YOUR APPLIANCE
Assembling/Operating Your Blender
1. Place the power cord through the cord
slot and place the motor base on a at,
dry surface. Ensure that the blender is
switched o at the power outlet and the
power plug is unplugged from the power
outlet.
2. Place the blender jug onto the motor
base. Ensure that the blender jug is
securely positioned.
3. Add food or liquid to the blender jug.
Place the lid on the blender, and push
down to seal. Insert the inner cap into the
hole of the blender jug lid.
4. Plug the power cord into a power outlet
and switch on at the power point.
5. Turn the speed control clockwise
dial for the 1 to 2 speed settings and
counterclockwise to use the Pulse setting.
The speed can be changed at any time
during the blending process. Ideally, start
blending on ‘1’ speed and then increase
to a ‘2’ speed if necessary to blend until
desired consistency is reached. For
ingredients that require short burst of
power, use the pulse speed. This is ideal
for thick liquids, ice or nuts.
6. To stop the blending at any time (general
operate 1-2 min.), turn the speed control
dial to ‘0’.
7. After use, ensure the blender is switched
o by turning the speed control dial to the
‘0’ position, then switch o at the power
outlet and remove the power cord. Allow
the blender to cool before storing.
NOTE:
During the blending process,
ingredients may stick to the sides of the
blender jug. To push the food back on the
blades, turn the speed control dial to ‘0’ and
switch the power o at the power outlet and
remove the power cord. Remove the lid and
use a plastic spatula to scrape down the sides
of the jug. Replace lid before recommencing
blending.
Hints and Tips
• Ensure the maximum level on the blender
jug is not exceeded. Ensure the lid ts
securely and the inner cap is on.
• When crushing ice cubes in the blender,
always use the pulse setting and ensure
the blender jug is completely dry.
• Use “1” for a lower speed for dressings,
marinades and foods that require blending
until just combined.
• Use the “2” speed setting for puréeing
smoothie or cocktail making.
• Use “P” for mixtures that require short
bursts of power such as thick liquids, ice
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 blender jug before solid
ingredients except where specied in
recipes.
• Cut all food into small cubes (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.
• 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.
• Place one hand on top of the blender lid
and hold it down when blending large
quantities of thin liquids. This will prevent
the lid from popping o due to excessive
pressure.
NOTE: Do not blend dry, thick or heavy
mixtures for more than 1 minute without
switching o the blender and stirring the
ingredients with a plastic spatula, and then
continuing blending.
• For simple blending tasks, for example,
mayonnaise, salad dressings etc., do not
operate for longer than 1 minute at one
single time.
• Do not use the blender to store food.
• Do not use the blender to beat egg whites
as it will not incorporate air.
• Do not use the blender to mash potatoes.
• Do not use the blender to knead dough or
other heavy mixtures.
• Do not place large pieces of solid or
frozen foods into the blender jug. Always
break pieces before blending.
• Do not remove the blender jug or lid while
the blender is operating. Always switch
o at the power outlet and unplug at the
power point before removing the blender
jug.
• Do not overll by exceeding the maximum
mark on the blender jug. Some mixtures
increase in volume during blending.
• Do not overload the blender with more
than specied amounts. Overloading
could cause the motor to stall.
• Do not process boiling liquids or hot
ingredients. Allow hot ingredients to cool
before placing them into the blender jug.
• Do not expose the glass jug to sudden
temperature changes (i.e. immersing the
jug into hot water directly after immersing
it into cold water or vice versa).
