Vacuum unit with cap
The blender is equipped with a vacuum
pump that can apply a vacuum to the
blender jug before processing. This reduces
the oxidation of food during and after
processing. The result is a more homo-
geneous consistency and a more natural
colour to food while preserving vitamin C
and other nutrients that react to oxygen for
longer. A vacuum can also be applied to
the ToGo bottle and storage containers to
maintain freshness and extend the shelf life
of food contained in them.
The cap is used to apply a vacuum to the
blender jug.
Status display and symbols
The status display indicates the manually
selected speed or the progress of the
vacuum application process or of an
automatic programme by means of several
LEDs. The higher the speed, or the more
advanced the vacuum application process
or a programme, the more LEDs will light
up. When all LEDs light up, the maximum
speed has been reached or the selected
programme completed. Illuminated symbols
also show other information.
