Troubleshooting Guide - Braun 4143 Instructions

• If blending action stops during blending or
ingredients stick to sides of the pitcher, there may
not be enough liquid to blend efficiently.
• Use the pulse mode when mixing solid or highly
viscous ingredients to avoid the blade becoming
stagnant.
• For preparing small amounts of foodstuff use a
low speed level.
• When preparing mayonnaise, oil can be added
through the drip hole in the measuring cap.
• Do not store food or liquids in the pitcher.
• Avoid bumping or dropping the blender when in
operation or at any time.
• We recommend keeping your hand on top of the
pitcher when operating the blender.
• Do not fill the pitcher beyond 32 fl. oz./ 4 cups
when preparing milk based drinks.
Blending Hot Ingredients
Blending very hot ingredients may result in hot liquid
and steam being forced past the lid or measuring
cap and cause severe personal injury.
• When preparing hot foods or liquids the complete
lid (including the gasket and measuring cap) must
be placed on the pitcher.
• Do not fill the pitcher beyond 24 fl. oz./ 3 cups for
hot foodstuff.
• If preparing greater amounts, the ingredients must
cool down to room temperature and the pitcher
must not be filled beyond 48 fl. oz./ 6 cups.
