Cleaning and care
Tips for using your blender
• For best results, we recommend that you:
- dice the food to be blended.
- first add the liquids, then the leafy
green vegetables and then the
soft ingredients followed by dried
fruit / seeds / cereals and lastly ice /
frozen ingredients.
- you might have to stop mixing in order
to push the ingredients down the sides
of the blender jug with a spatula.
• When blending together liquid and dry
ingredients, blend liquids first and then
add the dry ingredients.
• Remove any hard parts from foods to be
blended (e.g. cores or stones from fruit,
bones from meat etc.).
• Do not allow food residues to dry inside
the jug and blades for too long, as they
could become difficult to remove. If you
cannot clean it right away, pour a little
warm water and let it soak.
