Practical hints

• For best puréeing results when puréeing with solid ingredients, feed small portions into the jug gradually rather than adding a large quantity at one time.
• When mixing solid ingredients, cut up into small pieces (2–3 cm).
• Always start by mixing solid ingredients with a small amount of liquid. Then gradually add more liquid through the opening in the lid.
• Always operate the unit with your hand positioned on the top.
• When preparing mayonnaise, oil may be added through the drip holes in the lid without removing the measuring cap.
• We recommend that you use the pulse mode when mixing solid or highly viscous ingredients to avoid the blade becoming stagnant.
