Tips
C◗While the blender is running, you can pull the
stopper of the lid and pour liquid ingredients
into the blender jar.
◗Do not let the blender run for more than 3
minutes at a time. If you have not finished
blending after 3 minutes, switch the appliance
off for one minute before you continue
blending.
◗Cut solid ingredients into smaller pieces
before putting them into the blender. Feed a
series of small amounts into the jar rather
than processing a large quantity at once.
◗If you are not satisfied with the results when
blending solid ingredients, switch the blender
off and let it run briefly a number of times by
using the pulse setting. If this doesn't help, stir
the ingredients with a spatula (not while the
blender is running), or reduce the contents of
the jar and start processing smaller amounts.
◗To crush ice cubes, remove the stopper and
drop the ice cubes into the jar while the
blender is running. Keep the lid on the jar
during processing.
ENGLISH8

Never put your hand or an object in the jar while
the blender is running.

finely blended sauces, fresh fruit juices or cocktails.

C2Make sure the filter is properly fitted onto
the bottom of the jar.The grooves on the

will help you put the filter in the right
position.

proper position.
C4Put the ingredients in the filter through the
opening in the lid.
5Add water or any other liquid.

8For optimal results, put the jar with the
remaining ingredients back onto the
appliance and let it run for a few more
seconds.
9Pour out the rest of the drink.
Tips
◗Particularly when you are processing large
quantities, we advise you not to put all the
ingredients in the filter at the same time. Start
processing a small quantity, let the appliance
run for a moment, switch it off and then add
another small quantity. Repeat this procedure
until you have processed all the ingredients.
◗For making soy milk:
- Soak soy beans for 4 hours before processing
them.
-You can process max. 50 g of dry soy beans with
max. 500 ml water.
◗For making fruit juices and cocktails:
- Add approx. 300 ml water (or another liquid for
cocktails etc.) to 150 g fruit.
