is recommended.
If you want to steam without the foods

water, you can use the basket (available on
certain models only).
The maximum ll for hot ingredients is
1400 ml.
When cooking or blending hot liquid it is
essential the glass jar lid and measuring
cup are left on the blender to prevent harm.
Blending Cold Ingredients
The blender can also be used as a regular blender to blend cold ingredients and crush ice.

CARE AND CLEANING
Blade is very sharp Handle with care.
1. Always unplug the appliance from the mains
socket before cleaning.
2. Before rst use and after every use, clean
each part thoroughly.
3. To clean the anti-stick base we recommend
the use of the scrubbing brush which makes
it easy to clean underneath the blades.
4. To clean the glass jar lid and measuring cup,
wash in hot soapy water.
5. Wipe the motor base clean with a damp cloth
to remove any residue, and dry thoroughly.

and plug into a suitable mains socket.
3. Add all necessary ingredients into the glass
jar and put the lid. You may add more ingredients during blending by removing the measuring cup and dropping ingredients through
the opening in the lid. If adding more liquid,
we recommend pausing blending, adding
the liquid and replacing the measuring cup
to prevent liquid escaping.
The maximum ll for cold ingredients is
1750 ml.
4. Turn the control knob to your desired speed
or use the pulse function. Turn the control
knob to ‘Off’ when the desired consistency
is reached.
For a better cleaning of the valve is re-
commended, after use, the use of the
residual water in the tank for a rapid cycle of
about 3 minutes of steaming. Adding about 25
cl of citric acid or of vinegar, this operation
will also be useful to prevent the accumulation
of limescale.
DESCALING
Please follow these instructions every 15 cycles
of steam cooking:
1. Put 500ml of a solution of water and anti-
scale (proportions according to what is spe-
cied on anti-scale product’s packaging) into
the water tank.
Standard anti-scale products (e.g. for
coffee machines) are suitable.
