Operation

Blending
1 Place the device on an even and dry

surface. The non-slip feet J ensure the
stability of the appliance.

2 Make sure that the power cord is
disconnected from the power supply and the
control dial I is on “0” before putting food
into the glass jug D.

3 Take the glass jug D from the motor
housing H by lifting the glass jug D upwards
and open the lid.

4 Now put the ingredients to be blended in
the glass jug D. The ingredients should only
be about 2-5 cm long.

Notes

Add water to ensure the blender functions
smoothly.
Mix 3 units of hard food and 2 units of water
in order to have a smooth table blender
experience. (i.e: 60 gr hard food 40 ml
water).

Caution

Do not put or blend hot foods or liquids in the
glass jug. If you process soup, make sure
that the liquid temperature does not exceed
40°C.
To process crushed ice, we suggest you to
start with three quarters of ice in the jug and
add 15 ml of cold potable water.
Don´t try to crush ice without adding water to
the jug.
Never let the table blender operate while
empty (without food).
Never let the jug blender operate without the
glass jug on the motor housing.

5 Close the lid C. Make sure that the cap/
measuring cup A is inside the lid opening
and is secured.

6 Place the glass jug D upright onto the
motor housing H.

Caution

x Never move or turn the glass jug after it is

properly seated in the place.

7 Connect the power plug to a suitable
power outlet.

8 The cutting speed can be variably adjusted
with the control dial I.

Notes

x To operate the blender at the low speed,

turn the control dial I to “1”.

x If you want to blend with a higher speed,

turn the control dial I to the desired speed
level (2-4).

x For short pulses of blending with a high

speed, turn the control dial I to “P”. When
you release the control dial I, the blender
will stop and return to “0” automatically.

x If ingredients are to be added during the

blending process, then add them through
the opening in the lid B. To do this, take
out the cap/measuring cup A.

9 After the desired consistency of the
blended food has been reached, turn the
control dial I to 0 to switch off the blender.

Caution

x Never run the blender for longer than 1

minute, otherwise it would overheat.

x After running the appliance for 1 minute,

let it cool down before using it again.

x Be sure the motor is switched off and has

completely stopped before removing glass
jug D from the motor housing H.

x Do not place any utensil (scraper, fork,

operating.

10 Pull the power plug out of the power
outlet.

11 Take the glass jug D off from the motor
housing H by lifting the glass jug upwards
(do not try to rotate it) and open the lid C.

Information

Tips for blending

x To add ice cubes to mixtures while the

blender is operating, add one cube at a
time through cap A. Wait a few seconds
before adding the next ice cube so that
the blender can properly blend the ice.

x To add food while the blender is

operating, remove the cap A and drop the
ingredients through the opening. Be sure
to cut the food into about 2-5 cm pieces to
fit through the opening. Replace the cap A
when you have finished adding
ingredients.

x When blending solid foods, such as raw

vegetables, cooked or uncooked meats
and fruits always cut them into no larger
than 2-5 cm pieces before placing them
into the glass jug. Blend no more than 2
cups of these foods at a time. This will
speed the blending process and reduce
wear on the blending blades.

x Always place liquid ingredients in the

glass jug first, unless a recipe specifically
states otherwise.

x To blend beverages, place all ingredients

in the glass jug at the same time.

x Avoid overblending. Usually, you will need

to blend for a few seconds.

x Overblending may cause food to become

mushy.
