Read these instructions for use carefully and look at the illustrations before using the
appliance.
Keep these instructions for future reference.
General
◗ Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains
voltage before you connect the appliance.
◗ If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a service centre
authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
◗ Always unplug the appliance from the mains before assembling, disassembling
or making adjustments to any of the accessories.
◗ Never switch the appliance on and off by turning the accessories.
◗ Never immerse the motor unit in water or any other fluid, nor rinse it under
the tap. Use only a moist cloth to clean the motor unit.
◗ Never let the appliance run unattended.
◗ Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
◗ Avoid touching the blades, especially when the appliance is plugged in. The
blades are very sharp!
◗ Never reach into the blender jar with your fingers or an object while the
appliance is running.
w Never place the blade unit onto the motor unit without having the (blender
or mill) jar properly attached.
◗ If the blades get stuck, unplug the appliance before removing the ingredients
that are blocking the blades.
If necessary use a spatula to remove food from the wall of the jar after you have
switched off the appliance.
◗ Always make sure that the blade unit is correctly assembled before you plug
the appliance in and switch it on.
◗ Never use any accessories or parts from other manufacturers that have not
been specifically advised by Philips. Your guarantee will become invalid if such
accessories or parts have been used.
Blender
◗ Never fill the blender jar with ingredients that are hotter than 80cC.
◗ To prevent spillage, do not put more than 1.25 litre of liquid in the blender
jar, especially when you are processing at a high speed. Do not put more than
1 litre in the blender jar when you are processing hot liquids or recipes that
create a great deal of foam.
◗ Never forget to place the sealing ring on the blade unit before assembling the
blender jar, otherwise leakage will occur.
◗ Always make sure the lid is properly closed and the measuring cup has been
inserted properly before you switch the appliance on.
Mill
◗ Never use the mill for more than 30 seconds without interruption. Allow the
mill to cool down for at least 1 minute between the processing cycles.
◗ Never forget to place the sealing ring in the blade unit before you assemble
the mill jar, otherwise leakage will occur.
◗ Never use the mill to grind very hard ingredients such as nutmeg, Chinese
rock sugar and ice cubes.
◗ Always process cloves, star anise and aniseed together with other ingredients.
If processed separately, these ingredients may attack the plastic materials of
the appliance.
◗ The mill beaker may become discoloured when the mill is used to process
ingredients such as cloves, anise and cinnamon.
◗ The mill is not suitable for chopping raw meat. Use the blender instead.
◗ Do not use the mill to process liquid mixtures such as fruit juice.
Filter
◗ Never use the filter to process ingredients hotter than 80cC.
◗ Never overload the filter. Do not put more than 50g of dried soy beans or
150g of fruit in the filter at the same time.
◗ Always make sure the lid is properly closed and the measuring cup has been
inserted properly before you switch the appliance on.
◗ Cut the fruit into smaller pieces before putting it in the filter.
◗ Soak dried pulses, such as soy beans, before putting them in the filter.

Measuring cup (G)
You can use the measuring cup to measure ingredients or to prepare mayonnaise.
™ The oil should be added very slowly to obtain the right consistency. Run the blender at
a low speed when preparing mayonnaise
Blender
The blender can be used for pureeing very finely and for blending. It can be used for
preparing soups, sauces, milkshakes, vegetables, fruits, thin batters etc.
Preparing the blender for use
1 Assemble the sealing ring (E) on the blade unit (D) (fig. 1).
2 Screw the blade unit anticlockwise onto the bottom of the blender jar (C)
until the blade unit is fixed properly (fig. 2).
3 Mount the blender jar, with the blade unit attached onto the motor unit (A)
and fix it by turning it clockwise until you hear a 'click'. The blender jar can be
mounted in two positions (fig. 3 and fig. 4).
4 Make sure that the appliance is plugged in.
How to use the blender
1 Put the ingredients into the blender jar.
2 Place the lid on the blender jar.
3 Close the lid by pushing it down and turning the lid clockwise until you hear a
'click' (fig. 5).
4 Insert the measuring cup into the opening in the lid.
5 Turn the control knob to speed 1 or 2.
Turn the control knob to 'pulse' position if you want to process ingredients very
briefly.
6 Do not let the appliance run for more than 3 minutes at a time.
Disassemble the blender
1 Unplug the appliance.
2 Remove the lid and the measuring cup from the blender jar.
3 Remove the blender jar with the blade unit attached to it from the motor unit.
4 Always clean all the removable parts after using the appliance.
Tips
- If you want to crush ice cubes, put not more than 6 ice cubes (of approx.
24x35x25mm) in the blender jar and turn the control knob to pulse position a
few times.
- Cut meat or other solid ingredients into smaller pieces before putting them in
the blender jar.
- Do not process a large quantity of solid ingredients at the same time. To get
good results, we advise you to process these ingredients in a series of small
batches.
- To make tomato juice, cut the tomatoes in four and drop the pieces through the
opening in the lid onto the rotating blades.
Filter (Only types HR1724 and HR1727)
With this filter you can make delicious fresh fruit juices, cocktails or soy milk. The
filter prevents pips and skins from ending up in your drink.
Never overload the filter. Do not put more than 50g of unsoaked dried soy beans
or 150g of fruit in the filter at the same time.
