2 Fit the sealing ring to the blade unit, ensuring
the seal is located correctly in the grooved
area.
Leaking will occur if the seal is damaged or
incorrectly fitted.

lower it onto the bottle, blades down.
4 Screw the blade holder onto the bottle - turn
clockwise to lock.
Shake to disperse the ingredients.
Place the blender onto the power unit and
turn clockwise to lock.
5 Select maximum speed. Allow the ingredients
to blend until smooth.
Once your drink has reached the desired
consistency, you can use the pulse 'P' to
ensure all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
Hints and Tips
Note that when the bottle is filled to max
capacity (400ml), this is approximately two
servings.
If you do not intend to consume your drink
immediately, keep it refrigerated.
Ensure your drink is thin enough to be able
to drink from the dispensing lid. To make a
thinner drink add more liquid.
After blending, some drinks may not be
completely smooth due to seeds or the
fibrous nature of ingredients.
Some drinks may separate on standing,
therefore it is best to drink them straight
away. Separated drinks should be stirred
before drinking.
When the dispensing lid is fitted always keep
the bottle upright.
Using the drinking lid
1 Fit and lock the lid by turning clockwise.
2 When you want to drink,simply flip open the
lid cover. The drink can be consumed straight
from the bottle.
Express Dice
26
a
Dicing disc
b
Dicing grid
c
Dicing pusher
Important
The dicing disc is designed only to be used
with the dicing attachment.
The dicing pusher should only be used with
the dicing grid. Using it without the dicing
grid fitted will result in damage to the bottom
of the pusher.
(if supplied)
To use the Express Dice
1 Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the power
unit.
2 Add the dicing disc and fit the lid.
3 Fit the dicing grid into the feed tube.
4 Switch on and use the dicing pusher to
process food items through the dicing grid.
Hints and Tips
To assist with processing place both hands on
top of the pusher and press down firmly.
For best results, use raw fresh fruit and
vegetables.
To prevent the food from jamming do not
pack the food tightly in the feed tube –
ideally the food should be cut no larger than:
50 X 30mm
If the food is too hard to push through the
grid cook for approximately 10-15 minutes,
then allow to cool in a refrigerator before
processing.
Always remove hard skins, stones, pips and
seeds etc., from food before processing.
Note:
Due to the various sizes and shapes of
foods, the diced results will contain some
misshapen pieces, this is normal.
Foods such as cheese, ham, and chorizo will
clog in the grid so are not recommended for
use with this attachment.
Cleaning the grid
Use the end of the pusher to dislodge any food
which may become trapped in the dicing grid.
26A
The Express Dice can also be used to
produce French fries, crudités and batons.
1 Fit the dicing grid without the dicing disc.
2 Then manually push the food through the
grid without switching the appliance on.
