●To ensure long life of your blender,
never run it for longer than 60
seconds or the mill for longer than
30. Switch off as soon as you’ve
got the right consistency.
●Don’t process spices – they may
damage the plastic.

blender or mill is fitted incorrectly.

●Don’t put dry ingredients into the
blender before switching on. If
necessary, cut them into pieces;

hand over the opening. Empty
regularly.

hints
●When making mayonnaise, put all
the ingredients, except the oil, into
the blender. Then, with the
machine running, pour the oil into
the filler cap and let it run through.
●Thick mixtures, eg pâtés and dips,
may need scraping down. If it’s
difficult to process, add more
liquid.
●When crushing ice, add 15ml
(1 tbsp) water to 6 ice cubes.
Operate the blender in short
bursts.

sauces, drinks, pâtés, mayonnaise,
dressings etc. Use your mill (if
supplied) for milling herbs, nuts
and coffee beans.
