HINTS AND TIPS •
To achieve the best results when pureeing solid ingredients, place small portions into the glass jug one by one instead of placing a large quantity all at once.
•
If you are processing solid ingredients, cut them into small pieces (2-3cm) first.
•
When mixing solid ingredients start off first with a small amount of liquid. Gradually add more and more liquid through the opening in the lid.
•
Always place your hand on top of the blender when you are operating the device.
•
Be careful when processing hot liquids.
•
For stirring solid or very thick liquid ingredients we recommend that you use the blender in pulse mode to prevent the blades from becoming stuck.
CARE AND CLEANING •
MOTOR BASE: Never immerse the motor base in water. Wipe it only with a moist cloth.
•
SIMPLE CLEANING/ RINSING OUT THE ASSEMBLED GLASS JUG: Empty the glass jug and fill it with water. Place the glass jug on the motor base and turn the switch several times into the ‘PULSE’ setting. Empty the glass jug and rinse until clean.
•
THOROUGH CLEANING OF THE GLASS JUG: Ensure that the glass jug is completely empty before you unscrew the retaining ring. Be careful when handling the cutting blade. All removable parts are suitable for the dishwasher.
