HOW TO USE THE BLENDER CYCLE
The Food Processor PureSteam Cooker can be used to
blend all the different foods generally used during the
weaning phase: Fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, rice etc. The
special design of the blades helps reduce the amount
of air bubbles in blended food which can cause colic in
small children.
• Check that the appliance is disconnected from the
mains and the on/off knob (2) is set to the central "0"
position.
• If the bowl (8) is fitted in the base (1) remove it and
then remove the transparent lid (6), see section: BOWL).
• Remove the steamer basket (7) from the bowl (8) (if it
is still hot, follow the handling instructions in the HOW
TO USE THE COOK CYCLE section).
• Check that the blade group (9) is fitted correctly and
each protection cap (9B) has been removed; see sec-
tion:: BLADE GROUP).
• Place the diced or sliced food inside the bowl (8).
WARNING! To ensure the appliance continues to
work properly, never place hard food (for instance frozen
food) inside the bowl (8) or too much food inside the
steamer basket.
• Place the transparent lid (6) on the bowl (8) and fit the
bowl onto the base (1) see section: BOWL).
• Plug the power cable into a mains socket; the display
(3) will light up and "00" will appear on the screen; this
confirms that the appliance is connected to the mains
and ready to use.
• Select blender mode by turning the on/off knob (2) to
the right; an indicator light will be visible on the right
of the display which indicates that the blades (9B) are
in use.
To blend the food to the desired consistency, turn and
hold the knob (2) in this position for about 10 seconds,
then turn it back to "0" for another 10 seconds; repeat
this operation until you achieve the desired results. It is
recommended to wait at least 10 seconds between one
10 second blend cycle and another; do not exceed the 10
second blend cycle time.
• Remove the food from the bowl (8) using the practical
spatula (10) included in the pack. Never use your hands
to remove the food as the blades (9) are extremely
sharp.
It is highly recommended to check the temperature of
the contents and mix them well before giving them to
children.
