Gastroback DESIGN MIXER ADVANCED Operation Instructions Manual page 57

• 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.
WARNING:
If the blender jug is positioned on the motorblock, and the plug is connected to
the power outlet, do not insert your fingers, a wooden or plastic spoon or similar cooking
utensils or foreign substances in the blender jug. Always take the blender jug off the motor-
block before pushing the food down with a spoon.
• Process ingredients a few seconds only. Permanently check on the consistency of the
food in between the operation to avoid getting food which is too fine and slushy.
• Pick the speed for your needs: mixing (MIX 1-5) for permanent operation or the PULSE
button for interval operation.
• Do not operate a heavy mixture for more than 30 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 ingredi-
ents, and then continue blending.
• Do not operate the blender without having the blender lid in position. To add additional
ingredients whilst blending, remove the refill lid and place ingredients through the open-
ing in the 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 jug 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 blend-
er is off by pressing the POWER button 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 is off by pressing the POWER
button on the control panel 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.
