CAUTION: the safety precautions are part of the appliance. Read them carefully before using your new appliance for the first time. Keep them in a place where you can find and refer to them later on.

SAFETY LOCKING

The appliance can run only when the blender jug assembly (C) is correctly positioned on the motor unit (A).

USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Before using your appliance for the

first time, clean all the accessories (C) in warm soapy water, except for the motor unit (A, B). ATTENTION: DO NOT IMMERSE THE MOTOR UNIT/CONTROL PANEL (A,B) OR PUT IT UNDER WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID. Clean with a damp cloth then dry it carefully.

CAUTION: The blades are extremely sharp; handle them with caution when using or cleaning the appliance.

• Make sure all the packaging has been removed before operating the appliance.

• The appliance will only start if the blender jug or accessory are correctly positioned on the motor unit (A).

• Do not operate the blender if the

lid and cap (C5 + C6) are not in place.

USING YOUR APPLIANCE

• Moisten the seal (C3) and position

it correctly onto the blade unit (C1).

• Place the assembly (C1+C3) on the base of the jug (C4). Lock it by rotating the blade unit through a quarter turn in the anticlockwise direction. (Fig. 2).

• Place the ingredients into the assembled jug without exceeding the maximum level indicated:

* 1,75 litres

• Fit the lid (C5) on the jug. Place the measuring cap (C6) in its recess on the lid.

• Place the blender jug assembly (C) on the motor unit (A).

• Make sure that the appliance has been switched off and position the jug on the motor unit so that the notches of the jug engage with the grooves on the motor unit. Check that the jug is positioned horizontally and the appliance is on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface away from sources of heat or water splashes.

• The blender motor runs the blades at high speed in order to ensure thorough mixing. Consequently, it is important that the blender is always placed on a flat, dry surface before it is operated. Check that the jug is positioned correctly on the motor unit. If not, the blender will not operate.

• Never use the blender for more than 3 minutes at a time. Let the blender rest for 1 minute before you operate it again (in order to avoid overheating).

Caution: leaks can occur if the jug is not locked correctly.

• Plug in the appliance and turn the function selector to “program”, and the indicator lights of the on/

off button and the function buttons start flashing. Choose the optional program function by means of the buttons “ice crush”, “smoothie” or “auto-clean”. Each function has a programed processing time (see more under the different functions), but blending can be stopped manually by pressing the on/off button in the middle of the function selector. The blender also has a variable speed selector that is activated by turning the function button to setting min-max.

• Your appliance is equipped with a thermal cut-out. In case of overheating your appliance will turn off automatically. Disconnect the appliance and let it cool down for about 30 minutes, then resume use.

Functions of the blender: Ice crush: Put max 200 g of ice

cubes in the jug. The blender works in pulse intervals for approx. 1 minute unless it is switched off manually by means of the on/off button or by pressing the ice crush button. Smoothie: The blender works at various speeds alternating for approx. 1 minute unless it is switched off manually by means of the on/ off button or by pressing the smoothie button. Auto Clean: This function allows you to clean the jug. Add 1250ml of warm water and a drop of washing up liquid inside the blender jug. Press Autoclean button. The blender works at various speeds alternating for 45 seconds, unless it is switched off manually by means of the on/off button or by pressing the Autoclean button again. Then rinse thoroughly.

Min- max speed: The blender has a variable speed setting. Start at a low speed and increase if needed. Note that ice crush, smoothie and the auto clean functions cannot be activated, when you use the variable speed function. Turn the function selector to the required speed and start the blending by means of the on/off button. Switch off the blender by pressing the on/off button in the middle of the function button and turn the function button back to 0.

• We recommend that you experiment to find the speed that is best for the ingredients to be mixed. Always check on the mixing and switch off the appliance, when the desired result has been obtained. Always unplug after use.

• Never remove the glass jug while the motor is on.

NOTE! Do not operate the blender with only dry ingredients (e.g. nuts) in the jug, as this may damage the blender. Always add a small amount of liquid before you operate the appliance.

Mixing of hot liquid

• The glass jug can withstand hot ingredients and hot liquids/ soups. Be careful if hot liquid is poured into the blender as it can be ejected out of the appliance due to a sudden build up of steam. In order to avoid this, proceed as follows:

1. The temperature of the liquid in

the blender should not exceed 80°C.

2. Fill the jug half way up with

the desired ingredients (e.g. vegetables, etc.).

3. Operate the blender at MIN

setting and pour the liquid (hot stock, cream or similar) slowly through the opening in the lid. Do not switch off the

blender while doing this. If the blender is switched off when the jug contains hot liquid and is restarted, pressure from the bottom may cause the lid to eject due to the high rotation of the motor.

• If the blender has been switched off during the above process and needs to be restarted, place a towel, oven glove or similar over the jug and hold it down with your hand. When operating the blender remember that hot liquid may be ejected.

• Hot liquids alone must not be processed in the blender, since the pressure in the jug will be too high.

Important! We do not recommend that you mix only frozen berries/frozen fruit alone as they may freeze to a lump and block the blades.

• If you want to add more ingredients or liquid during use, you can do so, but make sure that the blades have stopped before you remove the cap or the entire lid. Make sure that the ingredients to be added are not too viscous or too dry or heavy for the motor to process. You may add some additional liquid through the hole in the lid if the mixture seems heavy or you could scrape the mixture towards the blade using a rubber spatula.

MAKE SURE THAT THE LID AND CAP HAVE BEEN REFITTED BEFORE YOU RESTART THE BLENDER! Important! After blending ice cubes the glass jug should only be cleaned in lukewarm water, as the jug will have cooled, and hot water may cause thermal shock to the glass and make it shatter.

• Recipe Carrot and Cumin Soup: Ingredients: – 700 g carrots, cut into cubes of

15 mm x 15 mm – 1050 ml cold water or stock – 1 teaspoon ground cumin – salt and freshly ground black

pepper

CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

• Unplug the appliance and remove

the blender jug assembly (C).

• Handle the blender unit (C1) with

caution: the blades on the blender jug are sharp.

• Remove the jug and rinse it and the lid under running water.

• To clean the motor unit (A), use a damp cloth. Dry it carefully.

• Never immerse the motor unit (A) in running water.

• For easy cleaning, to wash the removable parts in water and a little washing-up liquid immediately after use. Alternatively, use the Auto Clean program (see page 67).

Put the carrot pieces in the glass jug and add the water or stock. Process on max speed for 3 minutes maximum. Turn off the appliance. Pour the mixture into a saucepan, add the cumin and simmer for about 30 min. You can add water during cooking for a thinner soup. Add salt and pepper according your taste.

• To clean the blender jug (C) easily, unlock the blade unit (C1) by rotating it through a quarter turn in the clockwise direction. Remove the seal (C3). Clean the locking ring (C1), blade holder (C2) and seal (C3) under running water or in the dishwasher on the upper rack using the “ECO” program (except the the seal - C3 which is not dishwasher safe).

• The glass jug (C4) can be cleaned in the dishwasher on the upper rack - use the ‘ECO’ or ‘LOW SALT’ program..
