Frequently Asked Questions - BL2338 TEFAL

How to assemble the blender bowl?

Place the seal (D5) on the lid (D6). Position the blade unit (D1) on the bowl (D4) by aligning the rib (D3) with the locking hole, then pull the blade unit forward until it locks (audible click). Place the lid on the bowl, then place the bowl on the motor unit aligning the click button (D2) with the click button (C) on the motor. Press to lock (audible double click).

Why isn't my blender working?

Check that the plug is connected. Make sure the bowl or accessory is correctly positioned and locked on the motor unit (you should hear a double click). Check that the blade unit (D1) is properly assembled to the bowl (D4). If the product stops while in use, there may be an ingredient overload: unplug, set the selector to 0, and let it cool for at least 30 minutes.

How to clean the blender?

Unplug the appliance. Remove the bowl and accessories. Rinse immediately under running water. The bowl (D) and accessories (E, F) can be cleaned in the dishwasher in the upper basket using an ECO or LIGHT SOIL program. The blade unit (D1) can be disassembled by pressing the click button (D2) for easier cleaning. Clean the motor unit (A) with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly. Never immerse the motor unit in water.

What if the blender leaks from the lid?

Check that the ingredient volume does not exceed the maximum capacity (1.5 L for thick mixtures, 1.25 L for liquids). Make sure the lid is properly locked on the bowl. Check that the seal (D5) is correctly placed on the lid.

Can I use the herb mill for liquid preparations?

No, the herb mill (E) is designed to chop solid ingredients like onions, garlic, meat pieces, dried fruits, or herbs. Do not use it for liquid preparations (fruit juices, etc.).

How to use the spice mill?

Pour the spices into the bowl (F1). Place the lid (F2) by aligning the ▼ mark with the ▲ mark on the bowl, then turn clockwise until locked. Place the assembly on the motor unit aligning the ribs with the notches and the click mark on the lid with the click button (C). Press to lock (double click). Plug in and select the speed (e.g., speed 5 for 60 seconds). Hold the accessory during operation.

What is the maximum capacity of the bowl?

The maximum capacity is 1.5 L for thick mixtures (e.g., purees, pastes) and 1.25 L for liquid mixtures (e.g., soups, juices). Do not exceed these levels indicated on the graduated glass bowl.

How to disassemble the blade unit for cleaning?

After unlocking and removing the bowl from the motor unit, press the click button (D2) located on the blade unit (D1). The blade unit detaches from the bowl (D4). Handle the blades with care as they are very sharp. You can then clean the bowl and blade unit separately.

What if the blender stops during use?

This is often due to an ingredient overload triggering the electronic motor protection. Unplug the appliance, set the speed selector to 0, and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before using again. Reduce the quantity of ingredients next time.

Where can I buy additional accessories?

You can obtain accessories (herb mill, spice mill, extra blender bowl) from your usual retailer or an authorized service center. Have this manual or provide the type code of your appliance (LMxxx or BLxxx).
