The appliance is equipped with a built-in safety lock that prevents it from functioning if the accessories have been assembled incorrectly or have not been assembled at all.

Never use the accessories to turn the appliance on and off!

Important

• Never use any accessories or parts from other manufacturers or that have not been specifically advised by Philips. Your guarantee will become invalid if such accessories or parts have been used.
• Do not use the appliance if the mains cord, the plug or other parts are damaged.
• If the mains cord of this appliance is damaged, it must always be replaced by Philips or a service centre authorised by Philips in order to avoid hazardous situations.

• Never reach into the jar with your fingers or an object while the appliance is running.
• Always unplug the appliance before you start cleaning the motor unit.
• If the blades get stuck, unplug the appliance before removing the ingredients that are blocking the blades.

• Let hot ingredients cool down before chopping them or pouring them into the jar (max. temperature 80°C / 175°F , especially for recipes with large quantities of oil or fat).

• Reduce risk of injury to persons, never place mixing blades on base without blender jar properly attached.

• The blender jar is made of glass and therefore breakable. Do not drop the glass jar on a floor or hard surface. Avoid extreme temperatures. If the glass jar is very cold, rinse it well with lukewarm water before pouring in hot liquid. If the glass jar cracks, discontinue use.

To avoid spillage, always insert the stopper into the lid before you start processing.

- The different buttons allow you to obtain optimal results with different ingredients. The buttons are represented by icons, which correspond to specific speeds suitable for processing specific ingredients.

If you are not sure which function you should use, select the 🎨 button, which represents the highest processing speed.

9 To switch the appliance off, press the off button (O).

Never switch the appliance on or off by turning the jar.

Pulse button

- If you are not satisfied with the result when blending solid ingredients, switch the blender off and let it run briefly a number of times by pressing the Pulse button (P).

When the Pulse button is pressed, the motor runs at maximum speed.

- You can also use the Pulse function when the blender is already switched on. If you press the Pulse button when blending at, for example, the function, the appliance will start running at the highest speed. As soon as you release the Pulse button, the appliance will automatically continue running at the speed belonging to the function.

Crushing ice

- Put at max. 5 ice cubes per batch in the blender jar and press button (💡). The ice will be finely chopped in a few seconds. Empty the jar before processing another batch of ice cubes.

Timer

• When processing light or heavy ingredients you can make use of the timer ( ^① ). When the timer button is pressed in, the timer pilot light goes on and the appliance starts running. It will gradually increase its speed until it reaches maximum speed. 35 seconds after the timer button was pressed, the motor automatically stops and the pilot light goes out.
• You can also use the timer in combination with a particular setting. For instance, if you press the 🔊 button after the timer has been running for 10 seconds, the appliance will run at the 🔊 setting for the remaining 25 (35-10 = 25) seconds and then switch off automatically.

If you press the Pulse button while the timer is being used, the timer pilot light will go out after 35 seconds but the appliance will continue running. The appliance will only stop running when you release the Pulse button. Once the timer function is running additional touches will not increase the time

Other functions

• When the appliance is running at a speed belonging to a particular, it will immediately switch to a different speed when the different button is pressed.
• The appliance will stop running as soon as the OFF button is pressed.

Tips

To avoid spillage, never fill the jar above the maximum level indication (1 litre), particularly not when you are blending hot liquids (maximum 0.9 litre).

• While the blender is running, you can unscrew the stopper, remove it from the lid and pour liquid ingredients into the blender jar.
• Do not let the blender run for more than 3 minutes at a time. If you have not finished blending after 3 minutes, switch the appliance off for one minute before you continue blending.
• Process dry ingredients such as coconut, Parmesan cheese, chocolate, peanuts, almonds and coffee at maximum speed for 1 minute. DO NOT process more than 1 cup at a time.
• Cut solid ingredients into smaller pieces before putting them into the blender jar. Feed a series of small amounts into the jar rather than processing a large quantity at once.
• If you are not satisfied with the result when blending solid ingredients, stir the ingredients with a spatula (not while the blender is running!), or pour out some of the contents of the jar and process smaller amounts.

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

Filter (type HR1785)

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.

Put the filter in the blender jar. Make sure that the blender jar is disconnected from the motor unit before you assemble the filter into the blender jar.
2 Make sure that the bottom of the filter is properly fitted into the jar.
3 Put the lid on the jar to fix the filter in its proper position.
4 Put the ingredients in the filter through the opening in the lid.
5 Add water or another liquid.
6 Insert the stopper in the lid and switch the appliance on. Press the 🔊 button and let the appliance run for 40 seconds.
7 Switch the appliance off. Pour out the drink through the spout of the blender jar.
8 For optimal results, put the jar with the remaining ingredients back onto the appliance and let it run for a few more seconds.
9 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, empty the jar and the add another small quantity. Repeat this procedure until you have processed all the ingredients.

For making soy milk:

Soak soy beans for 4 hours before processing them.

Do not process more than 75g of dry soy beans with max. 600ml of water at one time.

Select setting 📌.

For making fruit juices and cocktails:

Do not fill up beyond the metal part of filter.

Add approx. 300 ml water (or another liquid if you are making e.g. cocktails, etc.) to 150 g fruit.
