  If the ingredients stick to the wall of the blender jar, switch the appliance off, unplug it and loosen the ingredients from the wall with a spatula or by adding liquid.
  The jar is made of glass and therefore breakable. Do not drop the jar on a hard floor. Also avoid extreme thermal shocks. If the jar is very cold, rinse it well with lukewarm water before pouring in hot liquid.

- If the glass jar cracks, stop using it.

Filter

• Do not use the filter to process hot ingredients.
• Never overload the filter. Do not put more than 75g dried soy beans (unsoaked weight) or 150g fruit in the filter at the same time (see 'Recipes').

Before first use

• Wash all accessories and detachable parts (see 'Cleaning').
• Wind excess mains cord round the base of the appliance. (fig. 2)

Using the appliance

Blender

• The blender is intended for:
• Blending fluids, e.g. dairy products, sauces, fruit juices, soups, mixed drinks, shakes.
• Mixing soft ingredients, e.g. pancake batter or mayonnaise.

Preparing the blender for use

I Place the sealing ring in the blade unit. (fig. 3)

2 Mount the blender jar onto the blade unit and turn it in the direction of the arrow until it locks into position. Always make sure that you place the jar onto the blade unit in such a way that the level indications on the blender jar are in line with the ribs on the blade unit. (fig. 4)

3 Mount the blender jar with the blade unit attached to it onto the motor unit and turn it in the direction of the arrow until it locks into position. (fig. 5)

4 Put the ingredients in the jar.

Never fill the jar with ingredients that are hotter than 80^ C.

5 After putting the ingredients in the blender jar, attach the lid to the jar by pressing it down and turning it. Make sure that the sieve in the lid is positioned in front of the spout of the jar to be able to pour out liquids. (fig. 6)

6 Insert the stopper into the lid. (fig. 7)

7 To disassemble the blender, follow the instructions in the section above in reverse order.

- Always make sure that you remove the blender jar from the motor unit with the blade unit still attached to the jar.

Using the blender

Place the blender on a flat, dry surface. The rubber suction feet will prevent the appliance from moving across the worktop.

2 Put the mains plug in the wall socket.

3 Select the required processing speed by pressing the appropriate button and the appliance will switch on automatically. (fig. 8)

- Speed 1: light processing of mainly liquid ingredients, e.g. chocolate milk, milk with fruit or mayonnaise.

- Speed 2: heavier processing of a combination of liquid and solid ingredients, e.g. tomato sauce, soups or pate.

- Speed 3: heavy processing of mainly solid ingredients, e.g. ice cubes or beans.

If you are not sure which speed you should use, you can always select the highest speed (speed 3).

Never reach into the jar with your fingers or an object (e.g. a spatula) while the blender is running.

Do not let the appliance run for more than 3 minutes at a time. If you have not finished processing after 3 minutes, switch the appliance off for one minute before you let it run again.

4 Press the pulse button (M) if you want to process ingredients very briefly. (fig. 9)

You can also press the pulse button (M) to obtain a temporary power burst while the blender is running at speed 1, 2 or 3. Once your release the pulse button the blender automatically stops running.

Never press the pulse button (M) longer than a few seconds at a time.

5 Press the off button (0) to switch the appliance off when it is running at speed 1, 2 or 3. (fig. 10)

Tips

To avoid spillage, never fill the jar above the maximum level indication (1.25 litres). If you are blending hot liquids, do not fill the jar beyond the 1.0 litre indication.

- If you are blending foaming liquids, never fill the jar beyond the 1.0 litre indication.

The opening in the lid can be used for adding ingredients while the motor is running. (fig. 11)

- Dry ingredients must not be processed for more than 1 minute.

- Cut solid ingredients 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.

If you are not satisfied with the result when blending solid ingredients, switch the blender off and press the pulse button (M) a few times to let the blender run briefly. You can also stir the

ingredients with a spatula (not while the blender is running!) or remove some of the contents of the jar and process smaller amounts.

• To crush ice cubes, drop them through the opening in the lid and switch the appliance ON.
• To make tomato juice, cut the tomatoes in four and drop the pieces through the opening in the lid onto the rotating blades.
• If you are processing solid and liquid ingredients at the same time, pour the liquid ingredients in the jar before switching the appliance on.Add the solid ingredients while the appliance is running.

Tips for better endresults:

• It is recommended to dry the jar between the processing batches;
• or put the dry jar in the refrigerator or freezer for some minutes.

Filter

You can use the filter accessory to obtain extra finely blended sauces, fresh fruit juices or cocktails. All pips and skins will be caught in the filter.

Preparing the filter for use

Put the filter in the blender jar. (fig. 12)
Make sure the filter is properly fitted onto the bottom of the jar.

2 Put the lid on the jar to fix the filter in its proper position. (fig. 13)

Using the filter

Put the ingredients in the filter through the opening in the lid. (fig. 14) Never overload the filter. Do not put more than 75g dried soy beans (unsoaked weight) or 150g fruit in the filter at the same time.

Cut fruits into smaller pieces and soak dried ingredients, such as soy beans, before processing them in the filter.

2 Add water or another liquid.
3 Put the stopper in the lid and switch the appliance on. Select the highest speed and let the appliance run for max. 40 seconds.
4 Switch the appliance off. Pour out the drink through the spout of the blender jar. (fig. 15)
5 For optimal results, put the jar with the remaining ingredients back onto the appliance and let it run for a few more seconds.
6 Pour out the rest of the drink.

Tips

- Particularly when you are processing large quantities, we advise you not to put all the ingredients in the filter at the same time. Start processing a small quantity, let the appliance run for a moment, switch it off and then add another small quantity. But do not exceed the above mentioned quantities!

- For making soy milk: Soak dried soy beans for 4 hours before processing them. - You can process max. 75g dried soy beans with max. 600ml water at a time. For detailed information: see 'Recipes'.

- For making fruit juices and cocktails: For the best results, add approx. 300ml water (or another liquid if you are making e.g. cocktails) to 150g fruit.
