These programs can only be used with the blender jug (F). Do not perform ice crush with the herb chopper (K) and spice grinder (L).

USING THE HERB CHOPPER (K) AND SPICE GRINDER (L) (DEPENDING ON MODEL)

• With the herb chopper (K) you can chop ingredients like onions, garlic or raw meat (pre-cut into small pieces) in a few seconds. Do not use the herb chopper for liquid preparations (fruit juices, etc.).

Turn it over before opening to avoid any spillage of your preparation. Then you can unlock the blade unit (K1 or L1). The blades are very sharp: handle them with caution to avoid injury. You can then remove the preparation in the bowl.

Warning : you can use the accessories with solid ingredients only. You can pour liquid ingredients in the blender jug (F) only.
