Before Using For The First Time; Using Your Blender; Care And Maintenance - Russell Hobbs 26710-56 Manual

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Turn to "CARE AND MAINTENANCE" and clean the appliance, to remove manufacturing dust, etc.

USING YOUR BLENDER

In use, treat the jug and blade unit as a single unit.
1. Sit the motor unit on a stable, level surface.
2. Check that the speed control is set to O.
3. If required, screw the jug and blade unit together. Tighten firmly.
4. Lower the jug on to the motor unit with the markings as shown (Fig. A).
5. Twist the jug as shown (Fig. B) until the markings align.
6. Remove the lid.
7. Put the ingredients into the jug. Don't fill past the 1500 ml mark. If you do, the contents may force the
lid off when you start the motor.
8. Replace the lid. Don't operate the appliance without fitting the lid.
9. Put the plug into the power socket.
10. Turn the speed control to the speed you want (1 = low, 2 = high).
11. Turn the speed control back to O to turn the motor off.
• Generally, large quantities, thick mixes, and a high ratio of solids to liquids require longer timings and
slower speeds.
• Smaller quantities, thinner mixes, and more liquids than solids require shorter timings and higher
speeds.
• Setting 2 is more useful for thicker foods.
Turning the speed control anti-clockwise to Y will give you a short burst at high speed. In this
•
direction, the knob is spring-loaded. When you let go, it'll return to O.
• To add ingredients while the blender is working, remove the cap, pour the new ingredients through
the hole, then replace the cap.
• Check that the added ingredients don't increase the volume in the jug past the 1500ml mark.
When you have finished:
1. Switch the appliance off (O) and unplug it.
2. Twist the jug in the opposite direction to Fig. B until the markings are aligned as Fig. A.
Blade Boost Function
The blade boost function helps you to free up ingredients that may have become stuck around the blade
during blending.
1. With the motor running, place your hand on top of the jug lid and press the whole jug and blade
assembly down (Fig. C).
2. Release the pressure and allow the jug to come back up again (Fig D).
3. Repeat this as required until the ingredients are processed to your satisfaction.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Switch the appliance off (O) and unplug it.
2. Wipe the outside of the motor unit with a clean damp cloth.
3. Wash the blade assembly as soon as possible, to prevent ingredients from drying and getting stuck.
4. To help clean the jug and blades add water and washing detergent to the jar, blend on high speed
while pushing the jug up/down a few times.
` You may wash these parts in the dishwasher.
If you use a dishwasher, the harsh environment inside the dishwasher will affect the surface finishes. The
damage should be cosmetic only, and should not affect the operation of the appliance.
