Using the appliance
Blender
◗The blender is intended for:

C1Put the rubber sealing ring around the edge of the knife unit.
C2Attach the knife unit to the blender jar by turning it in the
direction of the arrow.
C3Mount the jar unit onto the motor unit. Fix it by turning it in
the direction of the arrow.
Be careful not to exert too much pressure on the handle of the jar.
C4Put the ingredients in the jar.
Never fill the jar with ingredients that have a temperature of over
80cC.
5Press the lid into place.
C6Place the stopper into the opening in the lid and turn it until it
is firmly fixed.
To avoid spillage, always insert the stopper into the lid before you start
processing.
◗The speed settings allow you to adjust the speed of the appliance
to obtain optimal results. See the table for the recommended
speed settings.

7Put the mains plug in the wall socket.
C8Select the desired speed setting and the appliance will switch
on.
If you are not sure which speed to select, you can always use the
highest speed (speed 2).
◗To let the appliance run for only a few seconds at a time, set the
switch to position M (Momentum) and release it straight away.
Repeat this as often as necessary.
9To switch the appliance off, switch to position 0.
Never switch the appliance on and off by turning the jar.
For recipes see further on in this booklet.
Tips
To avoid spillage, never fill the jar above the maximum level indication
(1,5 litres), particularly not when you are blending hot liquids.
C◗Liquid ingredients (e.g. oil) can be poured into the blender jar
while the appliance is running through the opening in the stopper.
◗While the motor is running, ingredients can be added into the
blender through the opening in the lid.
Do not run the blender 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.
◗Dry ingredients must not be processed for more than 1 minute.
◗Pre-cut solid ingredients into smaller pieces before putting them
into the blender. Do not feed a large quantity at once into the
blender jar. Feed a series of small amounts.
◗If you are not satisfied with the result at blending solid materials,
switch the blender off and let it run briefly a number of times by
means of the M position. Or stir the ingredients with a spatula (not
while the blender is running), or reduce the contents of the jar and
process smaller amounts.
ENGLISH 9

Ingredients to process
liquid ingredients (e.g. chocolate milk, milk with fruit, mayonnaise)
heavier ingredients e.g. a combination of liquid and solid
ingredients (e.g. tomato sauce or pate)
heavy, mainly solid ingredients (e.g. ice cubes, soups, beans, etc.)

◗To grind ice cubes, drop them into the rotating knives through the
opening in the lid.
◗To make tomato juice, cut the tomatoes in four and drop the
pieces onto the rotating knives through the opening in the lid.
Never put your hand or any object in the jar while the blender is
running.
Filter (only types HR1844, HR1842)
◗You can use the filter accessory to obtain extra finely blended
sauces, fresh fruit juices or soy milk.All pips and skins will remain
in the filter.
C1Put the filter in the blender jar.
2Make sure the filter is properly fitted on the bottom of the jar.
C3Put the lid in place to fix the filter.
C4Put the ingredients in the filter.
The filter should never be filled beyond its maximum (MAX) level
indication. Do not use thefilter to process hot ingredients.
5Add water or any other liquid.
6Put the stopper in place and switch the appliance on. Select the
highest speed and let the appliance run for max. 40 seconds.
C7Switch the appliance off and remove the blender jar from the
motor unit. Pour out the drink through the spout of the
blender jar.

and some liquid (optional) back onto the appliance and let it
run for a few more seconds.
9Pour out the rest of the drink.
ENGLISH10

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 at least 4 hours before processing them.
You can process max. 145 g. (a measuring cup full) of soaked soybeans
(this is equal with 65 g. dried soybeans) with max. 650 ml. (3 measuring
cups full) water at a time.
For making fruit juices and cocktails:
For the best results add approx. 300 ml. water (or other liquid for
cocktails, etc.) to 500 g. fruit at a time.
Juice extractor
◗The juice extractor can be used for preparing fresh fruit juices.
Pulp, pips and skins will be separated.
C1Put the pulp container on the motor unit and turn it in the
direction of the arrow until it is firmly fixed.
C2Insert the sieve.
Always check the sieve before use. Do not use the sieve if you notice
any damage on it like cracks, fissures, opening on metal screen or loose
grater disc.
In case of a damaged sieve, contact the Philips Customer Care Centre
in your country (you will find its phone number in the worldwide
guarantee leaflet). If there is no Customer Care Centre in your country,
turn to your local Philips dealer or contact the Service Department of
Philips Domestic Appliances and Personal Care BV.
C3Put the lid in place and finally fasten the clamp by pushing it
down.
Make sure the clamp is on the right side of the motor unit. Check if the
lid is properly assembled and fastened.

5Select the right speed setting to switch the appliance on.
C6Put the ingredients in the feeding tube. Before processing, cut
large ingredients into pieces that fit into the feeding tube.

Do not exert too much pressure on the pusher, since this would affect
the quality of the end result and it could even cause the sieve to come
to a halt.
8If no more juice comes out, switch the appliance off and wait
until the sieve has stopped rotating before releasing the clamp.
9Remove the juice cup.
BFor recipes see further on in this booklet.

off and wait until the sieve has completely stopped rotating.
Unfasten the clamp and remove the lid. Remove the sieve. Detach
the pulp container from the motor unit by turning it to the right
and remove it. Empty the pulp container and clean the sieve.
Reassemble the juice extractor and switch it on again.
