Using your Viking blender
Your Viking blender has two speeds and a pulse position.
Use speed 1 for lighter blending eg. batters, milk shakes,
scrambled eggs and speed 2 for heavier mixes eg. soups,
pates and mayonnaise. Turn to the pulse position when a
quick burst of power is required. The pulse will operate for as
long as it is held in position.
Processing Dry Ingredients
eg. making breadcrumbs, chopping nuts, etc.
Remove the filler cap from the lid and cut the food into pieces
to drop through the hole.
Switch on the appliance and drop the food onto the revolving
blades. Wait for each piece to be processed before dropping
the next, keeping your hand over the opening meantime.
When no more can be processed empty the goblet and start
again. Do not load dry ingredients into the blender before
switching on.
Blending Liquids
eg. soup, batters, sauces, etc.
Fill the jar no more than 3/4 full, make sure the lid is securely
fitted. Switch on for 15-45 seconds.
Purées
Soft fruits e.g. strawberries, tomatoes and cooked hard fruit
can be blended without water.
Half fill the jar and switch on. Stop the machine to scrape the
mixture back onto the blades as necessary.
Blending Thicker Mixtures
e.g. spreads, pates, dips etc.
Half fill the jar and switch on. Stop the machine to scrape the
mixture back onto the blades as necessary. If the mixture is
very difficult to process, add a little more liquid.
Mayonnaise
When making mayonnaise, place all the ingredients with the
exception of the oil into the blender. Remove the filler cap
and with the motor running gradually add the oil in a steady
stream.
IMPORTANT NOTE
If blending hot liquids, remove filler cap in lid. Place a folded
kitchen towel over the lid when blending and only use speed
1. The towel will prevent hot liquids from emerging through
the center hole. Please use EXTREME caution while blending
hot liquids as not to burn yourself. You can ensure long life for
your blender by switching off promptly especially when using
dry ingredients. The blender runs at such high speeds that all
foods are processed within one minute. Prolonged running or
repeated use should be avoided especially when processing
dry ingredients or small quantities. When switching off wait
until the blades have stopped revolving before removing the
blender. The blender is not suitable as a storage container,
therefore ingredients should not be left to stand in the jar
before processing and should be removed immediately
afterwards. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug
in any way.
CLEANING
The blender should be disassembled before cleaning. Wash
the jar, lid, filler cap, sealing ring and base in hot soapy water,
then dry thoroughly. Brush the blades clean under the tap tak-
ing care to keep the underneath dry, then leave to air dry.
Take care as the blades are sharp. Do not leave the base to
soak in water, and do not leave the base soaking with water in
the jar. Jar and lid are dishwasher safe but blade assembly
should not be put in the dishwasher. Use lemon juice for
cleaning spots on the blade assembly.
SERVICE
If the cord is damaged it must, for safety reasons, be replaced
by Viking Range Corporation or an authorized Viking repairer.
Contact the dealer from whom you purchased your appliance.
or call 1-888-VIKING1 (1-888-845-4641) for service
information.
Connecting to Power
Before switching on make sure that the voltage of your
electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating
plate.
