BLENDER PRECAUTIONS
• Capacity: Do not fill the blending jug beyond the MAX line; we recommend
filling any container up to ¾ of its capacity. This is particularly important
when blending mostly liquid ingredients. Overfilling the jug could result in
spillage, which can cause burns (if blending hot liquids) and/or property/
product damage.
• Cover: Always operate the blender with the lid in place.
• Blending hot liquids: When blending hot liquids, cover the blender jug
with a cloth or towel before unscrewing the blade assembly. Slowly unscrew
the blade assembly to release any pressure that may have built up during
blending. This will help prevent a burn/scald hazard.
• Adding ingredients: If ingredients need to be pushed down during blending,
always use the plunger. Never use any other utensil, or your hands, to push
down food.
Tips for Best Results
• Size: To ensure smooth and consistent results, cut food into small, uniform
chunks of approximately 2–3cm size before processing.
• Fresh fruit: Peel, core and then cut the fruit into pieces, as appropriate.
• Frozen fruit: Freeze fresh fruit when it is in season to ensure you always
have fruit on hand and ready to blend for smoothies. Peel and chop fruit as
necessary before freezing. Frozen bananas make smoothies extra creamy.
• Solids to Liquids Ratio: When pureeing food, it is important to use enough
liquid (water, juice, milk, cream, broth etc.) to have a smooth mixture. Add more
liquid or soft solids to adjust the consistency of the mixture.
• Breadcrumbs: Break bread into pieces before placing it into one of the cups for
processing into breadcrumbs.
• Pie/Cake Crusts: To use cracker or biscuit crumbs as recipe ingredients or in
pie/cake crusts, break the crackers or biscuits into pieces before placing them
into the appropriate cup for processing.
• Thicker mixtures: Use the plunger as appropriate to remove thick mixtures
from the sides of the blender jug. When using ice-cream for thick shakes, take
it out of the freezer 5–10 minutes before blending, and add it in small chunks.
