Tips on how to use your
Do
• Use Low speeds (1-2 – Mix and Chop) for
drink or cocktail making and emulsions such
as mayonnaise, dressings, marinades and
foods that require mixing until just combined,
such as batters.
• Use High speeds (4-5 – Puree) for pureeing
soups and aerating liquids.
• Use 'PULSE' for foods that only require short
bursts of power such as chopping nuts.
• Ensure all foods are cut into cubes
(approximately. 2-3cm squares) where
appropriate to achieve an even result.
• Do not put more than 2 cups of ingredients
into the blender before blending commences.
After the blending process has begun and
the blades are turning you may slowly add
another 1½ cups of ingredients through the
inner lid opening if desired.
• Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if the
blender is ¼ to ½ full.
• When using several ingredients, place liquid
ingredients in the blender jug before solid
ingredients, unless specified in the recipe.
• When blending thick or dry mixtures it may
be necessary to stop the blender and scrape
down the sides of the blender jug with a
plastic or rubber spatula, once or twice
during blending. Do not use metal utensils as
they may damage the blades or blender jug.

Don't
• Do not blend a heavy mixture for more than
10 seconds. For normal blending tasks, for
example, mayonnaise, dressings etc., do not
operate for longer than 1 minute at one time
without turning off the blender and stirring
the ingredients, and then continue blending.
• Do not operate the blender without having
the blender lid in position. To add additional
ingredients whilst blending, remove the inner
lid and place ingredients through the opening
in the lid. When adding oil or other liquids
during operation, slowly pour through the
small holes on either side of the inner lid.
• Do not fill the blender jug above the 'MAX'
line. When the blender jug is filled at or
near the 'MAX' line, place one hand on the
blender lid to avoid displacement of the lid
during operation.
• Do not place any objects, other than food
or liquid, into the blender whilst the motor
is running.
• Do not use the blender to store food.
• The blender will not knead dough or
mash potatoes.
• Do not remove the blender jug while the
blender is operating. Always make sure the
blender is off by pressing the 'Power' button,
the lights will turn off. Switch off the power
at the power outlet and unplug the power
cord from the power outlet.
• Do not overload the blender with more
than the specified quantity of ingredients
as doing so could cause the motor to stall.
Turn the blender off by pressing the 'Power'
button on the control panel, the lights will
turn off. Switch off the power at the power
outlet and unplug the cord. Remove a
portion of the mixture from the blender
jug before continuing.
• Do not place hot or boiling ingredients into
the blender; allow to cool before placing into
the blender jug.
