Frequently Asked Questions - KF 1600 EP DELONGHI

Can I use the blender for more than 3 minutes?

No, avoid using it for more than 3 consecutive minutes. Take a break of at least 1 minute between each cycle and do not exceed 5 cycles before letting the appliance cool down.

How to clean the glass jug?

Use the Auto 3 min function with warm or hot water. Fill the jug halfway, select speed 7 or 14, and let it run. You can also hand wash with soapy water, but never put the jug in the dishwasher.

Can I blend hot ingredients?

Yes, but only hot foods (maximum 2 cups at a time) and always remove the measuring cap from the lid first to avoid splashing.

SUGGESTIONS FOR USE

1 General

• In order to get results and not risk that the ingredients spill out of the blender jar, add the ingredients to the jug a little at a time.
• Do not fill the jar more than _full – the movement of the blades will increase the volume of the ingredients in the jug. The recipes which use large quantities of

ingredients should be processed in batches.

• Pour in the liquid ingredients before the solid ones, as long as the recipe doesn't say otherwise. The liquid will facilitate the processing and will allow for the use of lower speed. Always add a cup of water before processing ice.
• Blend for 5 – 30 seconds and then check the consistency. Continue to process the ingredients in this way until the desired consistency is obtained. Be sure to not process the ingredients too much; this would cause a loss of consistency to the entire recipe.
  • Always use the blender with the lid well inserted.
• DO NOT remove the blender jar from the motor housing while the appliance is in use.
• In order to avoid the possibility of injury to the user or damage to the appliance, do not insert hands or utensils into the jar while the appliance is operating. It is possible to utilise a spatula while the appliance is turned off.

2 Solid ingredients

• It is necessary to pay particular attention during the processing of fine ingredients. In this case, it is necessary to interrupt the processing from time to time, take off the lid and scrape the ingredients down off the sides of the jar and the blades. Then reinsert the lid and continue processing. If the processing becomes lengthy in this way, select a higher speed.
• To add solid ingredients to the blender jar, remove the measuring cup from the lid and add them a little at a time through the hole in the lid. The vegetable and cheese ingredients must always be cut into cubes before being added to the jar.

3 Hot preparations

It is always necessary to remove the measuring cup from the lid before beginning the preparation of hot recipes.

- Slowly add the hot ingredients, maximum 2 cups at a time, through the hole in the lid.
