Using the appliance

1 Put the ingredients in the blender jar.

2 Place the lid on the jar and turn it in the direction of the arrow until it locks into position

with a click (fig. 4).

Disassemble the lid and the jar by turning them in the opposite direction.

The lid has two positions:

◗ one for preparing recipes that require use of a sieve ('sieve position') (fig. 5).

◗ ... and one for preparing recipes that do not require use of a sieve ('closed position' ) (fig. 6).

3 Switch the appliance on by pressing I (fig. 7).

4 Switch the appliance off by pressing 0 (fig. 8).

5 Do not let the appliance run for more than 4 minutes at a time.

If you have not finished processing after 4 minutes, switch the appliance off for one minute before

you let it run again.

6 If you are not satisfied with the result:

- switch the appliance on and off a few times, or

- switch the appliance off and stir the ingredients with a spatula, or

- switch the appliance off and pour out some of the contents of the jar and process a smaller

amount, or add more liquid and continue processing.

Tips

◗ Liquid ingredients (e.g. oil to prepare mayonnaise) can be poured into the blender jar through

the opening in the lid while the appliance is running (fig. 9).

◗ If you let the blender run longer, the results will generally be finer. Do not let the blender run

for more than 4 minutes at a time when processing a liquid and 1 minute when processing

dry ingredients.

◗ Cut solid ingredients (e.g. meat) into smaller pieces before putting them in the blender jar.

◗ Do not process a large quantity of solid ingredients at the same time. Process these

ingredients in a series of small batches instead.

◗ To crush ice cubes, drop them through the opening in the lid onto the rotating blades.

◗ To make tomato juice, cut the tomatoes in four and drop the pieces through the opening in

the lid onto the rotating blades.
