Blending of warm liquids
The glass jug is resistant to warm ingredients and warm liquids/soups. When warm liquids
are poured into a closed container (such as a blender jug with lid) it will automatically
create high pressure. Consequently, there is a risk that the lid is pushed off during use and
that the warm liquid splashes out. In order to prevent this, proceed as follows:
1. The temperature of the liquid to be added must not exceed 50 °C
2. Fill maximum half the jug with the ingredients (such as vegetables, root vegetables
etc.).
3. Start the blender (not the turbo function) and add the liquid slowly (hot bouillon,
cream or similar) through the hole in the lid. Do not turn off the blender during this
process. If the blender is switched off with warm liquid in it and restarted, there will
be a pressure from the bottom, due to the high rotation speed of the motor, which
pressure may cause the lid to be blast off.
If the blender has been switched off during the above process and shall be started again,
keep a pressure by placing a hand on top of the lid - use a towel/an oven glove or similar
- and watch out for possible splash of warm liquid. Never blend warm liquid alone, as the
pressure inside the jug will be too high.
IMPORTANT! We recommend not blending only frozen berries/fruit as they will tend to
turn into a frozen lump and block the knives.
It is possible to add more ingredients or fluid during use, but turn off the appliance first
before removing the lid or inner cover. Make sure that the ingredients to be added are not
too viscous or heavy for the motor to operate. Add some fluid through the lid to help the
motor or stop the process and scrape the ingredients from the jug with a rubber spatula.
MAKE SURE THAT BOTH LID AND INNER COVER ARE PLACED ON THE JUG BEFORE
STARTING THE APPLIANCE. WE RECOMMEND THAT THE PLUG IS INSERTED BEFORE
RESTARTING THE BLENDER!
IMPORTANT! Cleaning of the jug upon blending ice cubes shall be done in tepid water,
because the blending has cooled down the glass jug and because too hot water may
cause tensions in the glass that may break.
Cleaning and maintenance
Always unplug before cleaning. Wash jug, lid and filling lid in warm water with a washing-
up liquid after each use. Dry all parts well before storage. The parts are not dishwasher
proof. Do not use chemical or abrasive detergents. Any congealed residues can be
removed by soaking the part and rubbing with a soft cloth with a washing-up liquid. Use
a damp cloth for cleaning the motor part. Let all parts dry well before next use or before
storage of the appliance.
You may also clean the jug by pouring about 3 decilitres of water in the jug together with
a few drops of washing-up liquid and run the ice crushing function (ICE CRUSH) for 30
seconds. Rinse the jug carefully in clean water.
