highest speed. When you release the PULSE/QUICK CLEAN button,

the appliance stops operating (Fig. 7).

Never press the PULSE/QUICK CLEAN button longer than a few

seconds at a time.

Always press the OFF button to switch off the appliance before you

open the lid.

Tips

To prevent spillage, do not put more than 1.5 litres of liquid in the

blender jar, especially when you want to process at a high speed. Do not

put more than 1 litre in the blender jar when you want to process hot

liquids or ingredients that tend to foam.

You can use the opening in the lid to add ingredients while the

appliance is operating (Fig. 8).

Do not process dry ingredients for more than 1 minute.

Do not prepare recipes that contain large quantities of oil or fat.

Cut solid ingredients into smaller pieces before you put them in the

blender jar. Do not process a large quantity of solid ingredients at the

same time. Process these ingredients in a series of small batches instead.

If you are not satisfied with the result when you blend solid ingredients,

switch of the blender and press the PULSE/QUICK CLEAN button a

few times to let the blender operate briefly. You can also remove some

of the contents of the jar and process smaller amounts.

To crush ice cubes, put max. 5 cubes at a time in the jar and press the

PULSE/QUICK CLEAN button a few times. Keep the lid closed during

processing.

Using the filter (HR2118/HR2117 only)

You can use the filter to obtain extra finely blended sauces, fresh fruit juices

or cocktails. All pips and skins are caught in the filter.

Never fill the filter beyond its metal part.

Do not use the filter to process hot ingredients.

Open the lid.

Put the filter in the blender jar. Make sure the filter fits properly onto

the bottom of the jar. The grooves of the filter and the ribs inside the

blender jar help you put the filter in the right position (Fig. 9).

Close the lid.

Put the ingredients in the filter through the opening in the lid. Cut

fruits into smaller pieces and soak dried pulses, such as soy beans,

before you process them in the filter.

Add water or another liquid.

Put the measuring cup in the lid, press speed button 5 (highest speed)

and let the appliance operate for max. 40 seconds.

Press the OFF button to switch off the appliance.

Pour out the drink through the spout of the blender jar. Make sure

the lid is closed and the measuring cup is in the lid. This prevents pulp

and skins from ending up in your drink.

For optimal results, put the jar with the remaining ingredients back

onto the appliance with the lid closed. Then let the appliance operate

for a few more seconds.

Pour out the rest of the drink.

Tips

Particularly when you process large quantities, we advise you not to put

all the ingredients in the filter at the same time. Start to process a small

quantity, let the appliance operate for a moment, switch it off and then

add another small quantity.

To get the best result when you make fruit juices and cocktails, add

approx. 300ml water to 150g fruit. You can also use other liquids, e.g. to

make cocktails.
