the do's
•
Use a combination of the blending
speeds and pulse function to suit the
foods being processed.
•
Use the SMOOTHIE function to blend
fruits, ice cream and yogurts into thick
smoothies, whips and milkshakes.
•
Use the PULSE function for foods that
only require short bursts of power, such
as chopping nuts and crushing ice.
•
When blending drinks with ice cubes
or frozen fruit, use PULSE in
short bursts.

Thicker mixtures puree more efficiently
if the jug is ¼ to ½ full.

the don'ts
•
Do not use metal utensils, as they may
damage the blades or blender jug.
•
Do not blend a heavy mixture for more
than 10 seconds. For normal blending
tasks, do not blend longer than
1 minutes at a time. If you need to blend
longer, turn off the blender and stir
ingredients before starting again. This
rest will help protect the motor from
wear and tear.
•
The blender will not knead dough,
or mash potatoes.
•
When blending warm ingredients, do
not put more than 2 cups at a time in.
•
Do not blend hot or boiling ingredients.
Allow food to cool down to a warm state
before placing in the blender. This is
to safeguard against sudden bursts
of steam that could cause the lid to
dislodge.
•
If blending warm ingredients, place a tea
towel over the lid and hold down firmly.
