Remarks
・ When placing ingredients into the blender jug,
place liquids first then place remaining ingredients.
This will ensure that ingredients are uniformly mixed.
・ When placing ingredients into the blender jug,
place liquids first.
・ When using ingredients with less water content, the
blade will be idle. In that case, add liquid or use the
tamper to circulate.
・ Use the tamper to help circulate when using ingredients
with lower water contents such as boiled spinach,
pumpkin or sweet potatoes. If additional water is
added with such ingredients, it is easy to form a puree.
・ If the tamper does not reach ingredients, add
ingredients.
・ When blending soups, temperature of the blender
jug will increase. Be careful when removing the
blender jug and taking out the mixture.
・ Ingredients that cannot be eaten raw such as
potatoes, beans, onions, meat and fish, should be
pre-cooked before blending.
・ When using starchy ingredients such as potatoes,
pumpkin, beans with starch, oatmeal or rice, lower
the time setting by one bar.
・ Make sure the time setting is correct.
・ Keep an eye on the blender while in use.
・ Make sure the blender jug is completely dry before
adding ingredients.
・ When nuts are blended too long, they may become
buttered.
・ Before additional blending, scrape off the nuts from
the inner side of the blender jug.
・ When freezing ingredients, spread them out flat so
that they do not touch each other.
・ Thaw frozen ingredients at room temperature until a
fork can penetrate to their centers.
・ M ash the ingredients with the tamper during
blending. Hold the lid to avoid moving or tilting.
It is easy to mash fruit that is partially thawed.

the mixture.
