pâtés and mayonnaise.

●

Use the pulse control to operate

the motor in a start/stop action.

The pulse control operates the

motor and keeps it running for as

this will allow you to control the

texture of various foods eg. pâtés.

Important
blender and mill

●

To ensure long life of your blender,
never run it for longer than 60
seconds or the mill for longer than

30. Switch off as soon as you’ve
got the right consistency.

●

Don’t process spices – they may
damage the plastic.

●

The machine won’t work if the
blender or mill is fitted incorrectly.

blender only

●

Don’t put dry ingredients into the
blender before switching on. If
necessary, cut them into pieces;
remove the filler cap; then, with the
machine running, drop them
through one by one. Keep your
hand over the opening. Empty
regularly.

●

Don’t use the blender as a storage
container. Keep it empty before
and after use.

●

Never blend more than 11⁄2 litres

hints

●

When making mayonnaise, put all
the ingredients, except the oil, into
the blender. Then, with the
machine running, pour the oil into
the filler cap and let it run through.

●

Thick mixtures, eg pâtés and dips,
may need scraping down. If it’s
difficult to process, add more
liquid.

●

When crushing ice, add 15ml
(1 tbsp) water to 6 ice cubes.
Operate the blender in short
bursts.

Use your blender for soups,
sauces, drinks, pâtés, mayonnaise,
dressings etc. Use your mill (if
supplied) for milling herbs, nuts
and coffee beans.
