Handy Blending Hints

• Nothing can beat a blender for making
smooth purees and sauces or for whipping
up frothy drinks - from healthy breakfast
shakes to frozen daiquiris.
• Use your blender for chopping small
amounts of food like nuts, bread crumbs
and whole spices.
• Turn any oil-based salad dressing into a
creamy style dressing by blending it until
slightly thickened.
• Food items for blending should be cut
into cubes (approximately 2-3cm), this will
assist in achieving an even result.
• Ensure the lid is firmly and securely
placed on the jug. Do not operate the
blender without the lid on, if you wish to
add any additional ingredients remove the
ingredient cup and add as necessary.
• Never fill above the maximum level
indicator 1.25L. When blending very liquid
substances do not fill the jug above 1L to
avoid spilling.
• To ensure efficient mixing when blending
dry mixtures, it may be necessary to stop
the blender and push ingredients down the
sides of the jug with a spatula.

Care And Cleaning

Quick Cleaning Method.
Half fill the blender with warm water and a
small amount of detergent. Turn to PULSE
button for 10-20 seconds. Then remove the
jug and rinse it under running water.
For Thorough Cleaning.
Turn the blender jug upside down. Unscrew
the blade assembly from the jug by placing
the open end of the ingredient cap at the
base of the blade assembly. Wash the blender
lid, ingredient cup, blade assembly and
blender jug in warm soapy water.
• When pureeing fruit or vegetables, cooked
or raw, cut into small pieces to facilitate
blending.
• When making bread crumbs, use 2 to 3 day
old bread, leaving crusts on, to minimise
the possibility of clumping. If only fresh
bread is available, dry it out for a few
minutes in a low heated oven.
• When blending a variety of ingredients
together, blend the liquids first, then add
dry ingredients.
• Always ensure stones are removed from
fruit and bones from meat as these can
harm the blades.
• Don't allow a used blender to sit for too
long as the food will dry onto the blades,
making it very difficult to clean. If you can't
clean the blender straight away, pour some
warm water in it and allow to soak.
• Do not process hot/warm liquids in your
blender. Allow to cool to room temperature
before blending.
Caution: Take care when cleaning the
blades as they are extremely sharp.
Note: The jug, seal, locking ring, lid and
feeder cap may be washed in a dishwasher.
To Clean The Motor Base.
Use a damp, soft sponge with mild detergent
and wipe over the motor base.
Note: Never immerse the motor base in
water.
