BLeNdING TIpS
• Use low speeds (1-3 – MIX, CHOP
and BLEND) for emulsions such as
mayonnaise, dressings and marinades.
• Use high speeds (4-5 – LIQUIFY and
PUREE) for pureeing soups and
aerating liquids.
• Use the SMOOTHIE setting for
drink making using both liquid
and solid ingredients.
• Use the ICE setting for ice crushing.
Process up to one standard ice cube
tray or 12-14 standard ice cubes at one
time. The type of ice used will affect the
consistency of the crushed ice. To create
even, powdery snow for icy drinks and
cocktails, use large, solid, dry ice that
has come straight from the freezer (22ºF
/ -5.6ºC, or below). Small, slightly melted
or hollow ice may result in a coarser ice,
perfect for use as a base for fresh oysters.
• Use the PULSE setting for foods that
only require short bursts of power such
as chopping nuts.
• Use the 1oz (30ml) Inner Lid to
measure and add ingredients while
blending. Remove the Inner Lid and add
ingredients while on speeds 1/MIX, 2/
CHOP or 3/BLEND. When operating
at higher speeds; with a Blender Jug
filled at or near the 'MAX' line; or with
hot contents - stop the Blender before
adding ingredients.
• Make sure all foods are cut into cubes,
approx. 3/4 inch squares (2cm) to
achieve an even result.
• Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if
the Blending Jug is 1/4 to 1/2 full.
• When using several ingredients, place
liquid ingredients in the Blender Jug
before solid ingredients, unless specified
in the recipe.

• Do not use the Blender to mix dense,
heavy mixtures like dough or mash
potatoes. Other, less thick but heavy
mixtures may be blended, however
depending on the foods being processed,
may activate one of the motor protection
devices as a safety precaution (see page
36). For this reason, we recommend that
heavy mixtures are only blended for 30
second intervals before turning off the
Blender and stirring the ingredients with
a plastic spatula. For normal blending
tasks, we recommend only blending
for up to 1 minute intervals to prevent
overprocessing.
• Do not operate the Blender without the
Lid in position.
• Do not fill the Blender Jug above the
'MAX' line. When filled at or near the
'MAX' line, ensure to place one hand on
the Lid to avoid displacement during
operation.
• Do not place any objects, other than food
or liquid, into the Blender Jug while the
motor is running.
• Do not place boiling ingredients into
the Blender Jug. Allow ingredients
to cool slightly. Select speed 1/MIX
initially, then increase to a higher speed
if necessary.
• Do not use the Blender Jug to store food.
