Moulinex LM850 Manual page 41

Min- max speed: The blender has
a variable speed setting. Start at a
low speed and increase if needed.
Note that ice crush, smoothie and
the auto clean functions cannot be
activated, when you use the variable
speed function. Turn the function
selector to the required speed and
start the blending by means of the
on/off button. Switch off the blender
by pressing the on/off button in the
middle of the function button and
turn the function button back to 0.
• We recommend that you
experiment to find the speed that is
best for the ingredients to be mixed.
Always check on the mixing and
switch off the appliance, when the
desired result has been obtained.
Always unplug after use.
• Never remove the glass jug while
the motor is on.
NOTE! Do not operate the blender
with only dry ingredients (e.g.
nuts) in the jug, as this may
damage the blender. Always add
a small amount of liquid before
you operate the appliance.
Mixing of hot liquid
• The glass jug can withstand hot
ingredients and hot liquids/ soups.
Be careful if hot liquid is poured into
the blender as it can be ejected
out of the appliance due to a
sudden build up of steam. In order
to avoid this, proceed as follows:
1. The temperature of the liquid in
the blender should not exceed
80°C.
2. Fill the jug half way up with
the desired ingredients (e.g.
vegetables, etc.).
3. Operate the blender at MIN
setting and pour the liquid
(hot stock, cream or similar)
slowly through the opening in
the lid. Do not switch off the
blender while doing this. If the
blender is switched off when
the jug contains hot liquid and
is restarted, pressure from the
bottom may cause the lid to
eject due to the high rotation of
the motor.
• If the blender has been switched
off during the above process and
needs to be restarted, place a
towel, oven glove or similar over
the jug and hold it down with your
hand. When operating the blender
remember that hot liquid may be
ejected.
• Hot liquids alone must not be
processed in the blender, since the
pressure in the jug will be too high.
Important! We do not
recommend that you mix only
frozen berries/frozen fruit alone
as they may freeze to a lump and
block the blades.
• If you want to add more ingredients
or liquid during use, you can do so,
but make sure that the blades have
stopped before you remove the
cap or the entire lid. Make sure that
the ingredients to be added are
not too viscous or too dry or heavy
for the motor to process. You may
add some additional liquid through
the hole in the lid if the mixture
seems heavy or you could scrape
the mixture towards the blade using
a rubber spatula.
MAKE SURE THAT THE LID AND
CAP HAVE BEEN REFITTED BEFORE
YOU RESTART THE BLENDER!
Important! After blending ice
cubes the glass jug should only
be cleaned in lukewarm water, as
the jug will have cooled, and hot
water may cause thermal shock
to the glass and make it shatter.
