Tips

C

◗ While the blender is running, you can pull the

stopper of the lid and pour liquid ingredients
into the blender jar.

◗ Do not let the blender run for more than 3

minutes at a time. If you have not finished
blending after 3 minutes, switch the appliance
off for one minute before you continue
blending.

◗ Cut solid ingredients into smaller pieces

before putting them into the blender. Feed a
series of small amounts into the jar rather
than processing a large quantity at once.

◗ If you are not satisfied with the results when

blending solid ingredients, switch the blender
off and let it run briefly a number of times by
using the pulse setting. If this doesn't help, stir
the ingredients with a spatula (not while the
blender is running), or reduce the contents of
the jar and start processing smaller amounts.

◗ To crush ice cubes, remove the stopper and

drop the ice cubes into the jar while the
blender is running. Keep the lid on the jar
during processing.

ENGLISH8

Never put your hand or an object in the jar while
the blender is running.

Accessories

Filter (types HR1764, HR1767, HR1774 and
HR1777 only)

finely blended sauces, fresh fruit juices or cocktails.
All pips and skins will be caught in the filter.

C

1 Put the filter in the blender jar.

C

2 Make sure the filter is properly fitted onto

the bottom of the jar.The grooves on the
filter and the ribs inside the blender jar
will help you put the filter in the right
position.

proper position.

C

4 Put the ingredients in the filter through the

opening in the lid.

drink through the spout of the blender jar.

8 For optimal results, put the jar with the

remaining ingredients back onto the
appliance and let it run for a few more
seconds.

9 Pour out the rest of the drink.

Tips

◗ Particularly when you are processing large

quantities, we advise you not to put all the
ingredients in the filter at the same time. Start
processing a small quantity, let the appliance
run for a moment, switch it off and then add
another small quantity. Repeat this procedure
until you have processed all the ingredients.

◗ For making soy milk:

- Soak soy beans for 4 hours before processing

them.

- You can process max.50 g of dry soy beans with

max. 500 ml water.

◗ For making fruit juices and cocktails:

- Add approx. 300 ml water (or another liquid for

cocktails etc.) to 150 g fruit.

Chopper (type HR1762, HR1763, HR1772
and HR1773 only)

ingredients like nuts, meat, onions, hard cheese,
dried fruits, chocolate, garlic, herbs, dry bread etc.

Tips

◗ To chop meat, coconut, cheese and

breadcrumbs, cut the ingredients into smaller
pieces before you start processing them.

rest of the ingredients to be chopped.

Use the blender for mixing liquids, not the
chopper.
