Frequently Asked Questions - KATANA 12 CECOTEC

How to use the Katana 15 Totaldestroy B blender?

Place the food in the glass bowl, add liquid if needed, lock the lid, then select the desired speed. Use the Pulse function for quick and dry mixtures.

Can you blend hot ingredients?

It is not recommended to blend very hot liquids, as steam can create pressure. Wait until the food cools to about 60 °C before blending.

How to clean the bowl and accessories?

Disassemble the bowl, lid, and cap, then wash them by hand or in the dishwasher (gentle cycle). Always wash the motor base with a damp cloth, without submerging it.

What to do if the blender does not start?

Check that the bowl is correctly placed on the base and that the lid is properly locked. Make sure the plug is well connected and that the safety system is not triggered.

Is the bowl dishwasher-safe?

Yes, the glass bowl, lid, and cap are compatible with the dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle. The blade should be rinsed immediately to avoid stains.

What is the real motor power?

The motor delivers a power of 1600 W with a rotation speed of up to 30,000 rpm, allowing it to grind hard ingredients like ice cubes.

How to avoid blender overflow?

Never fill the bowl beyond the MAX marking. For mixtures that foam, add cold liquids and use a progressive speed.

Can you crush ice cubes?

Yes, thanks to the Katana stainless steel blades and the Pulse function, you can crush ice cubes. Always add a little water to make it easier.

How to replace the blender blades?

To replace the blades, unscrew the blade assembly from the bowl. Spare parts are available from Cecotec customer service. Use a screwdriver if necessary.

What to do in case of abnormal noise?

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated underscores where none should exist based on the GT's visual context. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
