To get the best results, place food in the jug in the following order:
1. First liquids.
2. Then soft foods/vegetables.
3. Last add frozen produce and ice.
To process hot liquids:
1. Pour the hot liquid into the jug no higher than the top jug fill mark (2 Litres).
2. Securely insert the lid (with the lid plug in position).
3. To heat cool liquids, begin blending at a SLOW speed then increase to FAST. Continue blending
on FAST for several minutes until the contents begin heating.
To process vegetables:
1. For best results, cut the food material into small pieces. You do not need to remove peel,
kernels or seeds as the blender will blend these completely.
2. Put the pieces into the blender jug, and then add water until the jug is 2/3 full.
3. Securely insert the lid (with the lid plug in position).
4. Begin blending on SLOW speed and increase to FAST speed until the food is at the desired
consistency.
To process ice:
1. Place the ice in the jug.
2. Add water to about three-quarters full and allow the ice to float to the top.
3. Securely insert the lid (with the lid plug in position).
4. Begin blending at SLOW speed and slowly increase the speed to FAST until the ice is at the
desired consistency.
SLOW speed: Use to chop and slice. Always switch to SLOW speed when adding food or liquid
during blending.
MED (Medium) speed: Ideal for slightly harder to blend mixtures and to avoid significant heat rise of
jug contents.
FAST speed: Use to refine grains, break down ice, and to blend frozen fruit, whole fruits and
vegetables.
