Frequently Asked Questions - BV-2006X FAGOR

How to assemble the blender correctly?

Place the rubber seal (E) on the blade (F), then the blade on the support connector (G). Secure the bowl by turning counterclockwise. Place the measuring lid (A) on the lid (B) by turning clockwise. Place the assembled bowl on the motor unit. Make sure the selector is in position '0' before plugging in.

What is the maximum capacity of the bowl?

The maximum capacity of the bowl is 1.5 liters. Do not fill the bowl beyond 2/3 of its capacity to avoid overflow.

Can I blend hot liquids?

Yes, but remove the measuring cap (A) from the lid (B) to allow steam to escape. Do not overfill and start at low speed. Keep hands away from the central opening to avoid burns.

How to use the pulse mode?

Place the selector on the 'pulse' position (without releasing). The blender operates as long as you hold the selector pressed. Release to stop. This allows intermittent operation.

What to do if the motor overheats or stalls?

If the motor starts to labor or choke, add a little liquid, or stop and stir the food with a spatula. Reduce the quantity of ingredients. Do not operate for more than 3 minutes without interruption.

How to clean the blender?

Unplug the appliance. Remove the bowl, lid, and blades. Clean the bowl and accessories with warm soapy water. Never wash the blades in the dishwasher. Clean the motor unit with a damp cloth.

Are the blades removable?

Yes, the blades (blade F) are removable for cleaning. Turn the bowl clockwise to disassemble. Handle them with care as they are very sharp.

What types of food can I blend?

The blender can mix fruits, vegetables, liquids, crush ice, and make purees. Cut food into 2-3 cm cubes before adding. Remove pits and seeds.

How to crush ice?

Put ice cubes in the bowl, add a cup of water, put the lid on and hold the pulse mode until a snowy texture is obtained. Press firmly on the lid with your hand.

What to do in case of breakdown?

Turn off the appliance and do not attempt to repair it yourself. Contact a Technical Assistance Service approved by the manufacturer and insist on the use of original spare parts.

Safety instructions that should be borne in mind when switching the mixer on.

• Do not leave the mixer unattended while in operation. Keep out of the reach of children. Make sure that the selector (I) is set to the '0' position (disconnected) before plugging the mixer in to the mains supply or before unplugging it. People with nervous dysfunctions should not use the appliance unless accompanied by another person. Make sure the jug (C), closing ring (D), blade (F) and blade support connector (G) are correctly positioned before switching the mixer on.

4. HOW TO USE THE APPLIANCE

Before using the mixer for the first time, wash the removable parts: the top lid (A), the jug lid (B), the jug (C) and the blade (F) in warm soapy water and dry well before reassembling.

Assembly

All assembly and disassembly operations should be carried out while the appliance is unplugged.

• Place the rubber seal (E) on the edge of the blade (F) and place the blade on the support connector (G) (Fig. 2).
• Attach to the jug by turning in an anticlockwise direction (Fig. 3)
• Place the top lid (A) in the jug lid (B) by inserting its flaps into the lid grooves and then turning in a clockwise direction (Fig.4)
• Place the mounted jug on the base (Fig. 5)
• Place the ingredients in the jug and fit the lid into place.

NOTE: To disassemble the mixer, follow the above steps in reverse order.

Set up

• Place the assembled mixer on a stable surface.
• Before switching the mixer on, make sure that the jug is correctly fitted into its place on the base. Make sure that the selector (I) is set to its '0' position. Plug the appliance in.
• Place or pour the ingredients or beverages to be mixed into the jug through the jug opening or lid (B).
• Replace the lid (B) along with the top lid (A) (Fig. 6) and switch the mixer on. To work continuously, place the selector (I) in position '1', '2' or '3'.
• To work at a low speed, turn the selector to position '1'.
• To work at a medium speed, turn the selector to position '2'.
• To work at a high speed, turn the selector to position '3'.
• To work in programmable mode, which causes the mixer to work in a discontinuous fashion, turn the selector to the position and hold there. When the selector is released, the mixer will automatically return to the '0' position.

5. PRACTICAL ADVICE

When using the mixer for making drinks, wash all ingredients well and cut them into pieces so that they fit into the mixer opening.

• For optimum results, it is best to mix small rather than large quantities of food, especially when the item in question is very thick or heavy.
• Remove the top lid (A) from the jug lid (B) in order to add ingredients to the jug (C) while the motor is running.
• To avoid spillage, it is best to insert a small quantity of food into the jug through the lid opening, and then top up little by little as the food is mixed.
• Do not fill the jug up to more than 2/3 of its capacity, since the action of the blades may cause it to overspill. It is best to place liquid ingredients into the jug before solid ones. The liquid helps to mix the items more quickly and at a lower speed.
• Mix the ingredients for short times only (between 5 and 30 seconds). Then check the consistency and continue processing until you obtain the consistency you require. If the consistency you require is not obtained rapidly, stop the appliance by turning the selector to '0' and:
• Turn the selector to the position a few times in a row, or
• Remove the jug lid and mix the food items using a spatula, or
• Reduce the quantity of food to be mixed.

All fruit should be peeled and chopped

and all stones, pips, etc. removed before being placed in the jug.

• Some vegetables, such as tomatoes, should also be peeled and chopped before being processed.
• When you begin mixing, hold the mixer lid down firmly.
• Remove any dampness or liquid on the mixer base immediately, using kitchen paper.
• Do not work with thick mixtures or heavy food items. If the motor is unable to work freely, it will stop. If this happens:
• Add a little liquid to the mixture; or
• Set to mode; or
• Stop the mixer for a few seconds and use a spatula to clean the sides of the jug and push the ingredients towards the blades; or Empty the jug a little.

NOTE: CUT ALL INGREDIENTS INTO CUBES (OF APPROX. 2-3 CM) IN ORDER TO ENSURE A UNIFORM MIX.

To mix ice, follow the steps outlined below:

• Insert the ice cubes into the jug.
• Replace the lid and press and hold until the mixture obtains a snow-like texture.

NOTE: WHEN MIXING ICE, ALWAYS HOLD THE JUG LID IN PLACE WITH YOUR HAND.

Always add a cup of liquid when mixing ice.

6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

MAKE SURE THAT THE MIXER IS SWITCHED OFF AND UNPLUGGED BEFORE ADDING OR REMOVING ANY OF THE PARTS.

• We recommend that you clean the appliance immediately after use. Remove the jug. Remove the lid and blades before inserting your hand or fingers into the jug in order to clean it.
• Never try to assemble or disassemble the mixer for cleaning purposes without first unplugging it from the mains.
• Use a small toothbrush (not provided) to remove any food that may have become wedged under the blades.
• Clean the motor housing with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scourers.
• It is easier to clean the mixer immediately after use. Pour warm soapy water into the jug and switch the mixer on for a few seconds. Switch the mixer off ('0') and remove the jug from the base. Rinse and dry thoroughly. If you want, you can remove the blade as indicated in Fig. 7.
• IMPORTANT: Do not wash the blades in the dishwasher. The pressure and heat of the water may damage the assembly and prevent it from rotating, which in turn may provoke other damage in the mixer.
• Unplug the mixer from the mains after each use and before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning operation.
• Do not let the cable or plug become damp or wet.
