We are sure you will be delighted with the performance and will enjoy many years of blending
delicious smoothies, juices, soups, sauces, fruit and vegetables. An award winning family- owned
business we have the same strong values of excellent quality, value for money and exceptional
customer care as we did when we first set up the Lakeland company in the 1960’s.
Our products are carefully selected by our highly experienced team of experts and are thoroughly
and rigorously tested to meet our consistently high standards so you can be assured that any
product you purchase will be functional, durable and easy to use. It is this level of commitment to
our customers that sets us apart.
Please take a little time to read this booklet before you use your blender and then keep it in a safe

A stainless steel blender with a 1.5L glass jug gives this blender a sophisticated feel. With a
powerful 1000W motor and 6 serrated blades this blender can handle anything from fruits and
vegetables to crushing ice. Perfect for blending single servings or family servings, the blender has
graduated marking on the side of the jug (up to 1500ml and 6 cup markings on one side, pints
and fl oz on the other side of the jug)
The illuminated controls for variable speed setting, and dedicated function buttons means you can
PULSE, crush ICE or mix your favourite SMOOTHIE at the touch of a button. Complete with a 60ml
measuring cup which slots into the lid the Lakeland blender is very versatile. And when you have
finished using the blender it is quick and easy to clean

ZESTY LIME CHEESECAKE
Serves 2
Ingredient Quantity
Gingerbiscuits,roughlybroken 60g
Vanillaicecream 150g
Juice and zest from 1 lime
• Put the ginger biscuits in a blender and mix on medium/high until they have broken down.
• Empty out into a bowl.
• In the blender jug put in the vanilla ice cream, juice and zest from 1 lime and the crushed
ginger biscuits.
• Mix together on medium/low until combined. Do not over mix or the ice cream will melt.
• Serve immediately.
The trick to this recipe is to crush the biscuits in the blender first but then remove them and put
them back into the blender jug on top of the other ingredients. This is to avoid the crushed biscuits
from clogging up under the blades and not combining with the ice cream. If the mixture is too soft
then it may need to be frozen for a short while before serving. If frozen ensure that it is allowed to
rest out of the freezer for a few minutes before serving.
