Important: Always ensure your blender is
unplugged from the power outlet before
fitting or removing the blade assembly.
Always handle the blade assembly with
caution, as the blades are extremely sharp.
To assemble the six-blade system in the glass
jug (see Figure 1).
1. Place the silicone rubber seal over the sixblade assembly, as shown in figure 1.
2. Place the six-blade assembly into the
glass jug and turn clockwise to secure
firmly into position (see figure 2).
Note: The blender jug will leak if the sixblade system is not assembled correctly.
Note: Do not attempt to remove the
stainless steel blades from the blade
assembly.
3. Plug the power cord into a 230-240 volt
power outlet and turn the power ‘ON’.

1. Place the blender jug onto the motor base.
Note: Do not switch ‘ON’ the MultiBlender
Platinum without the lid in position.
2. Place ingredients into the glass jug. Do
not exceed the maximum indicated level
– 1.6 litres.
3. Position the lid with ingredient cup onto
the blender jug. Ensure the lid is firmly in
place.
4. Using the selector dial, select the desired
blending speed 1, 2, 3 or PULSE.
Settings 1, 2, 3 will provide continuous
blending until the dial is turned off.
The Blending Guide on page 8 shows the
functions that can be performed and the
suggested speeds to use.
Note: Although the lid fits firmly to the
glass jug, we advise when blending liquid
ingredients, to place your hand on the lid
as you initially select the blending speed/
function. As the powerful 800 watt motor
could cause the liquid to surge up causing
leakage. Once you have started blending
you can remove your hand.
Note: Do not operated for more than 2
minutes at a time.
Further ingredients can also be added
whilst blending by removing the ingredient
cup and pouring ingredients through the
hole in the lid.
5. After you have completed blending, turn
the control dial off.
Note: When removing the six-blade
assembly from the glass jug you may need
to slightly tilt the blade so that it slides
out easily. You shouldn’t force the blades
out of the glass jug as this will ultimately
damage the blades.

Crushing Ice
Simply add ice to the blender then press the
‘Pulse’ function and hold for 1-2 seconds
and release. Continue this process and in
seconds your ice is fluffy and snow flake-like.
Pulse setting
The pulse function provides short bursts of
power, so that you can prepare breadcrumbs,
grind chocolate, finely grind nuts and
biscuits.
You can also use the Pulse function for
cleaning the blender. Simply pour in some
warm water and a small amount of detergent,
press the ‘Pulse’ function for 1-2 seconds
and release. Repeat 3-4 times. The unit will
clean itself, without you having to handle the
sharp blades. Rinse and dry, being careful as
the blades are sharp.

• Nothing can beat a blender for making
smooth purees and sauces or for whipping
up frothy drinks - from healthy breakfast
shakes to frozen daiquiris.
• Use your blender for chopping small
amounts of food like nuts, bread crumbs
and whole spices.
• Turn any oil-based salad dressing into a
creamy style dressing by blending it until
slightly thickened.
• A brief whirl in the blender will rescue a
lumpy gravy, or an egg-based sauce that
has separated.
• Food items for blending should be cut into
cubes (approximately 2-3cm), this will
assist in achieving an even result.
• Ensure the lid is firmly and securely
placed on the jug. Do not operate the
blender without the lid on, if you wish to
add any additional ingredients remove the
ingredient cup and add as necessary.
• Never fill above the maximum level
indicator 1.6 litres.
• To ensure efficient mixing when blending
dry mixtures, it may be necessary to stop
the blender and push ingredients down the
sides of the jug with a spatula.
• When pureeing fruit or vegetables, cooked
or raw, cut into small pieces to facilitate
blending.
• When making bread crumbs, use 2 to 3
day old bread, to minimise the possibility
of clumping. If only fresh bread is
available, dry it out for a few minutes in a
low heated oven.
• When blending a variety of ingredients
together, blend the liquids first, then add
dry ingredients.
• Always ensure stones are removed from
fruit and bones from meat as these can
harm the blades.
• Don’t allow a used blender to sit for too
long as the food will dry onto the blades,
making it very difficult to clean. If you
can’t clean the blender straight away, pour
some warm water in it and allow to soak.
• Do not process hot liquids in your blender.
Allow to cool to room temperature before
processing.
• Always ventilate the blender jug when
pureéing warm ingredients. This is
achieved by lifting the ingredient cup out
of the lid, after starting the blender.
Handy Blending Hints
10
Quick cleaning method.
Half fill the blender with warm water and a
small amount of detergent. Press the PULSE
button for 10-20 seconds. Then remove the
jug and rinse it under running water.
For thorough cleaning.
Turn the blender jug upside down. Unscrew
the six-blade assembly from the glass jug by
placing the open end of the ingredient cap
at the base of the blade assembly. Use the 5
grooves on the opening of the ingredient cap
to align the cap to the base of the glass jug.
Turn the ingredient cap in an anti-clockwise
direction to remove the blade assembly.
See Figure 3.
Remove the rubber seal from the blade
assembly. Wash the blender lid, ingredient
cup, rubber seal, blade assembly and blender
jug in warm soapy water.
Caution: Take care when cleaning the blades
as they are extremely sharp.
Note: Do not clean any part of the blender in
the dishwasher.
To clean the motor base.
Use a damp, soft sponge with mild detergent
and wipe over the motor base.
Note: Never immerse the motor base in water.

Tips for great Thick shakes
• Don’t use hard ice cream straight from the
freezer
• Leave ice cream out for about 5 minutes
before blending; this time may vary
depending on how cold your freezer is.
• Ice creams with a higher cream content
may need a little extra milk.
• Always put ice cream in the blender jug in
small pieces, never in large chunks as this
may prevent the blender from blending in
the allotted time.
