Cleaning Your Saluté
My machine will not switch on - Have you got the jug on the base? Without the jug the safety switch is on,
The Saluté cut out while I was processing
Possible Cause 1:
The machine has probably overheated and cut out. Your Saluté is engineered with an automatic thermal
overload protection mechanism to prevent the motor from burning out.
Reasons for overheating:
1. Processing heavy materials for too long.
2. Processing heavy materials on too slow a speed.
3. Processing too much heavy material that does not contain liquid.
Solution:
1. Press the reset button at the rear of the machine.
2. Leave the machine off for 10 – 30 minutes to cool down. (The cool down period is dependent on the
ambient temperature). If the machine is still not working, check Possible Cause 2.
Possible Cause 2:
Please check the obvious options such as faulty plug connections. If the machine is not working, contact
customer care.
I damaged the tamper/blade
1. I put the tamper into the jug with the lid off and it hit the blade
2. I used another utensil instead of the tamper and it hit the blade. The blade stopped turning / the tamper is
damaged)
Solution:
The drive socket (the mushroom-looking part that sits in the middle of the black rubber mat on the base) has
been damaged. This is a safety mechanism to stop the blades from causing further damage.
Order a new drive socket from www.healthmakers.co.za/store This is a DIY repair with instructions. If the blade
is damaged then a complete blade assembly needs to be replaced.

Troubleshooting
SAFETY WARNING!
To ensure safety unplug the power cord before cleaning the base. Never immerse the motor
base in water and never clean the blade assembly with your bare hands

Preparation Time: 1½Minutes
Quantity: + 750ml (3 cups)
Ingredients:
1 Orange (skin removed) or 1 cup of Grapes
½Pineapple or 1½cups fresh Strawberries or Kiwi
fruit
(optional or when in season)
1 Apple
1 Pear
1 (peeled) Banana
Honey or other sweetener (optional)
Seeds, nuts and superfoods (optional)
1 tray large ice cubes (or two trays of small cubes)
Method: Place ingredients in the Saluté jug in the given
order and secure the two part lid. Start processing on Min and
increase speed to Max. Run for 1½minutes or until smooth. Serve
immediately.
To convert the above recipe to a green smoothie add kale/spinach or
any other green leaves and some Spirulina or other green
powder.
Troubleshooting:!
If the mixture is too thick - add some cold water.If the
mixture is too icy, continue processing until desired
consistency is obtained.
General Tips for making whole fruit smoothies
The most successful smoothies are made with a
selection of juicy and pulpy fruits (Eg. apples are
pulpy) and too much apple makes a smoothie very
pulpy. The addition of too much water or ice will
reduce the flavour.

VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY TIPS WHEN WORKING WITH HOT LIQUIDS !
If you turn the Saluté on Max speed with the container more than ½full, the pressure created by the combination of the
hot liquid and the speed of the blades can force the lid off, causing the hot liquid to spill out, creating a mess and the
possibility of accidental burning.
TO AVOID THIS HAZARD. Ensure that the jug contains no more than 3 cups of hot liquid to start. Process on Min speed
and increase the speed to Max. While the blender is running you can add more hot liquid through the rubber lid by
removing the lid plug.
Always use the Saluté on a flat, level, dry surface and the base should be placed at least 8-10 cm from the edge of the
counter.
Always ensure that the container is properly seated in position and that the rubber lid and lid plug are properly fitted and
secured before switching the Saluté on.
If you are processing a large quantity of liquid it is advisable to hold one hand over the lid when switching on, just in case
the lid is not properly secured.
Never remove the jug while the motor is running.
When using the tamper, always have the rubber lid on and hold the handle of the jug firmly.
Always put some water into the jug when crushing ice cubes. Pour the crushed cubes through a colander.
Take note that the Saluté is a high speed blender, therefore the processing time is drastically reduced when compared to
a standard blender.
If you require a burst of Max power press the Pulse switch. (The Pulse switch only operates while being held down
manually)
If you accidentally damage the tamper it is recommended that it be replaced as a damaged tamper can harbour bacteria
and become a health hazard.
Operational Tips
Remove the Blade Assembly for cleaning or!
replacement!
1. Turn container upside down
2. Place the wrench (if supplied) into the retainer nut and when it is
snugly fitted, turn the wrench counter-clockwise, while holding
the jug down firmly. Otherwise remove with a screwdriver held
horizontally.
3. Once the retainer nut is loosened, cover the blade inside the jug
with a cloth (to avoid cutting yourself when removing the blade).
4. With one hand hold the blade assembly and with the other
remove the retainer nut by hand.
!
To Replace the Blade Assembly
1. Put the blade assembly through the hole in the bottom of the jug
from the inside of the jug, having first covered it with a cloth.
Place the retainer nut onto the thread of the Blade Assembly
underneath the jug and tighten the retainer nut by hand.
2. Turn clockwise until tight.
3. Fit the wrench or screwdriver to the retainer nut and tighten (do
not over tighten as the jug could crack).
NB Do not over tighten the retainer nut as this can cause the jug to
crack.

My Saluté

Making Frozen treats with your Saluté
To make ice cream and sorbet with your Saluté Superior Super Blender you will need four basic ingredients:
Liquid : Cream, Milk, Yoghurt or Fruit juice
Flavourings : Fruit concentrate, Vanilla, Nuts, Unfrozen fruit, etc.
Sweeteners : Sugar, Honey, Fructose, Agave, Stevia
Frozen Ingredients : Ice cubes, Frozen Fruits, Frozen Yoghurt, Milk or Cream.
The addition of nuts, banana or avocado help to create a creamy consistency.
Frozen desserts are made in the Saluté by homogenizing liquid and frozen ingredients together to make a
delicious ice cream or sorbet. This is achieved by using the high speed of the Saluté along with the tamper.
!
The Ratio to make Frozen Desserts
The normal ratio is: 1 part liquid and 3 to 4 parts frozen ingredients.
Once the mixture starts to circulate the sound of the machine will change. Do not process for more than 3
seconds with this sound. Running the Saluté for longer does not cause the dessert to freeze more - rather it
causes it to melt.
I Got Milkshake Instead Of Ice Cream:
There can only be 3 problems and the solution is to add more frozen ingredients a small amount at a time.
i) Too much liquid.
ii) The frozen ingredients were insufficient to produce freezing temperatures.
iii) Running the machine for too long.
NB. If the frozen ingredient is ice (water) the flavour will be diluted.
Strawberry Yoghurt Ice Cream
Preparation Time: 30 sec Quantity: 750 ml (3 cups)
Ingredients:
1 Cup (250 ml) Yoghurt (plain, vanilla or strawberry)
3 Cups (750 ml) whole frozen Strawberries
1 Tablespoon (15 ml) Honey or other sweetener, to taste (optional)
Method:!
Place all ingredients into the Saluté container - yoghurt first - and
secure the two part lid.
Process on Max.
Push the ingredients down with the tamper through the lid.
Ideally the mixture will begin to circulate and the sound of the
machine will change.
Do not process for more than 3 seconds with this sound.
Serve immediately. Decorate with fresh Strawberries (optional)
Preparation time: 5 seconds
Quantity: 500 ml (2 cups)
Ingredients:
3 Fresh tomatoes – quartered
¼to ½of a medium red onion – quartered
Green chillies – to taste (optional)
¼teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon vinegar (optional)
½teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
½green pepper (small)
½red pepper (small)
Fresh dhania (coriander leaves), parsley or rocket to taste
Method:
Place all ingredients in the Saluté container. Secure the two-part lid. Select a
medium speed. Run the Saluté for 3 to 5 seconds or until the ingredients are chopped to desired consistency. If
necessary, insert the tamper through the open lid to push the ingredients into the blades. Over-processing will
create liquid. Serve with fresh crackers or dehydrated chips.
Tomato Salsa
Preparation time: 1 minute Quantity: 1 ½cups (Not suitable for commercial quantities)
Ingredients:
Maximum 2 ½cups and minimum of 1 ½cups of almonds, cashews, macadamia or pecan nuts OR a mix of nuts .
Macadamia nuts helps the process as they are oily.
Method:
Pour nuts into the Saluté container and secure two-part lid.
Process on a medium speed. Insert tamper through lid
opening. There must be sufficient nuts for the tamper to be
in contact with the nuts. Use the tamper to push the nuts
into the blades. In about 15 to 30 seconds you will hear a
high pitch chugging sound. The butter begins to flow
freely through the blades and the motor sound will change
from a high pitch to a low labouring sounds.
STOP PROCESSING AFTER 3 SECONDS. Store the nut
butter in the fridge.
Nut Butters
CAUTION: Over-processing will cause the Saluté to
overheat and cut out!

Dry Food Applications
1. Make sure the ON/OFF switch is OFF.
2. Plug the power cable into the power socket and switch the power on.
3. Place the ingredients into the jug.
4. Place the jug onto the motor base. (The Saluté will not operate without the jug in place)
5. Set the speed control knob to the desired speed. (Min = 12000 rpm Max = 26000 rpm)
6. Switch the ON/OFF switch to the ON position to start processing.
7. Using the Tamper. (Always have the rubber lid in place and hold the handle of the jug)
7.1. The tamper is used to aid in the processing of materials where minimal liquid has been used.
7.2. The tamper is designed not to touch the blades when the lid is in place
7.3. To use the tamper remove the lid plug and place the tamper through the hole in the rubber lid.
7.4. When using the tamper hold the handle of the jug, to stabilise the jug while pushing the materials down
onto the blades.
7.5. As soon as the materials begin to process on their own, remove the tamper and replace the lid plug.
N.B. Do not leave the tamper in the jug as this creates excessive pressure on the motor and can cause
the motor to cut out.
8. Speed Control Options:
8.1. To increase or decrease the speed while processing, either turn the speed control knob clockwise to
increase or counter-clockwise to decrease.
8.2. There is an additional facility to increase the speed to maximum on a pulse basis by holding the PULSE
switch down. When you release the Pulse switch, the speed will revert to the speed as set by the
speed control knob.
9. Processing Operation Options
9.1. While processing, additional materials may be added through the rubber lid hole after removing the lid
plug.
9.2. To add bulkier materials the machine should be switched off and the two-part lid removed.
10. When processing is complete, switch the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
Getting Started
The Saluté can be used to grind dry materials such as: grains to flour, dry spices, dry herbs, coffee beans, seeds to
meal, bread to breadcrumbs and nuts to nut butter. Hard grains such as maize should not be ground.
Note: The Saluté is designed to grind small quantities and should not be used to replace a grain mill.
Important information about grinding dry materials.
Dry materials contain very little liquid and are subject to rapid heating so dry grinding should never exceed 90 sec.
For rapid grinding at high speed the Pulse switch could be used.
For Example:
!
Flax Seed (Highly effective, high in Omega 3 EFA)
Add the powder to any cold food, e.g. cereal, yoghurt, etc. (Adding flax to hot food will destroy the value of the
Omega 3 oil)
Using the flax Seed as a laxative
2 Tablespoons flax powder to 1 cup water or juice. Wait 30 minutes or until liquid has soaked up, and eat with a
teaspoon.
Coffee Beans
Grind your own coffee beans on “Min” speed for 7 to 25 seconds, depending on the
required fineness, e.g. 7 to 8 seconds for very coarse and about 20 seconds for espresso.
Important Note: The Saluté Superior Super Blender is for household use only, this is not
an industrial blender / grinder.
Preparation Time: 2 minutes
Quantity: 750 ml (3 cups)
Ingredients:
1 cup (250 ml) raw Almonds (soaked for 6 - 8 Hours)
3 cups (750 ml) cold water or ice + water
Honey or dates to taste (Optional)
Method:
Place all ingredients in the Saluté container in the listed
order, secure the two part lid. Process at Max for 2
minutes.!
Strain the milk through a nutmilk bag and add your choice
of flavour E.g. pure vanilla or berries, and (optional) a
sweetener E.g. Honey, Stevia, Agave to taste.
This recipe can be used to make milks from any nut or seed
E.g. almond, hemp, brown rice, oat, hazelnut, walnut, cashew,
sesame, sunflower, brazil nut, pecan, poppy seed, or flax seed.
Almond Milk
Preparation Time: 1 Minute
Quantity: 375ml (1½cups)
Ingredients:
1 Tin Chickpeas, drained (or 400g freshly cooked
Chickpeas or 400g raw sprouted Chickpeas)
½Cup Tahini (Sesame seed paste or ½cup white
sesame seed)
1 Tablespoon Olive oil
¼Cup Lemon juice
1 Clove Garlic
Salt to taste
Method:
Place all ingredients in the Saluté container and secure two part
lid. Process on Max speed for 1 minute or until smooth, using the
tamper to push the ingredients into the blades while processing. If the mixture
does not process freely, add a little water until mixture flows freely through the blades.
NOTE :The above quantity should not be exceeded for each processing. An excess quantity of
heavy material such as hummus will cause the Saluté to overheat and cut out.
Hummus - Raw or Cooked
