Using the appliance
Measuring cup (G)
You can use the measuring cup to measure ingredients or to prepare mayonnaise.
™The oil should be added very slowly to obtain the right consistency. Run the blender
at a low speed when preparing mayonnaise.
Blender
The blender can be used for pureeing very finely and for blending. It can be used for
preparing soups, sauces, milkshakes, vegetables, fruits, thin batters etc.
Preparing the blender for use
1Assemble the sealing ring (E) on the blade unit (D) (fig. 1).
2Screw the blade unit anticlockwise onto the bottom of the blender jar (C)
until the blade unit is fixed properly (fig. 2).
3Mount the blender jar, with the blade unit attached onto the motor unit (A)
and fix it by turning it clockwise until you hear a 'click' .The blender jar can
be mounted in two positions (fig. 3 and fig. 4).
4Make sure that the appliance is plugged in.
How to use the blender
1Put the ingredients into the blender jar.
2Place the lid on the blender jar.
3Close the lid by pushing it down and turning the lid clockwise until you hear
a 'click' (fig. 5).
4Insert the measuring cup into the opening in the lid.
5Turn the control knob to speed 1 or 2.
Turn the control knob to 'pulse' position if you want to process ingredients very
briefly.
6Do not let the appliance run for more than 3 minutes at a time.
If you have not finished processing after 3 minutes, switch the appliance off for one
minute before you let it run again.
If you want to add ingredients while the appliance is running, remove the measuring
cup and add the ingredients through the opening in the lid.
7If you are not satisfied with the result:
switch the appliance off and turn the control knob to pulse position a few times to
let the blender run briefly, or switch the appliance off and
stir the ingredients with a spatula, or switch the appliance off and pour out some of
the contents of the jar and process a smaller amount, or add more liquid and
continue processing.
Disassemble the blender
1Unplug the appliance.
2Remove the lid and the measuring cup from the blender jar.
3Remove the blender jar with the blade unit attached to it from the motor
unit.
4Always clean all the removable parts after using the appliance.
Tips
- If you want to crush ice cubes, put not more than 6 ice cubes (of approx.
24x35x25mm) in the blender jar and turn the control knob to pulse position a
few times.
- Cut meat or other solid ingredients into smaller pieces before putting them in
the blender jar.
- Do not process a large quantity of solid ingredients at the same time.To get
good results, we advise you to process these ingredients in a series of small
batches.
- To make tomato juice, cut the tomatoes in four and drop the pieces through
the opening in the lid onto the rotating blades.
Filter (Only types HR1724 and HR1727)
With this filter you can make delicious fresh fruit juices, cocktails or soy milk (see
also 'Recipes').The filter prevents pips and skins from ending up in your drink.
Never overload the filter. Do not put more than 50g of unsoakeddried soy beans
or 150g of fruit in the filter at the same time.
Preparing the filter for use
1Mount the blender jar, with the blade unit attached onto the motor unit (A)
and fix it by turning it clockwise until you hear a 'click'.The blender jar can be
mounted in two positions (fig. 3 and fig. 4).
2Put the filter (K) in the blender jar (fig. 6).
Make sure that the grooves of the filter fit exactly onto the ribs insidethe blender jar.
3Make sure that the appliance is plugged in.
How to use the filter
1Place the lid (F) on the blender jar.
Cut fruits into smaller pieces or pre-soak dry hard beans, such as soy beans, before
putting into filter.
2Put the ingredients in the filter (fig. 7). Do not fill the filter beyond the top of
the sieve mesh.
3Pour water or another liquid (milk, juice, etc.) into the blender jar.
4Insert the measuring cup (G) into the hole in the lid.
Let the appliance run for approx. 40 seconds.
5Switch the appliance off and remove the blender jar from the motor unit.

7For optimal results, put the jar with the remaining ingredients back onto the
appliance and let it run for a few more seconds.
Note: when you are processing a large quantity, we advise you not to put all the
ingredients in the filter at the same time. Start processing a small quantity and let the
appliance run for a few seconds.Then switch the appliance off and add another small
quantity, but do not exceed the top of the sieve mesh. Repeat this procedure until
you have processed all the ingredients. Always keep the lid on the blender jar during
processing.
