• Never introduce hot ingredients (solid or liquid) if they are over 60 °C in temperature Always make sure the lid is firmly fitted but the measuring cap is only loosely positioned, to allow any steam to escape Always use the SOUP programme or start at a low speed and gradually increase it Never use the PULSE button MAINS CONNECTION

Downloaded from www.vandenborre.be26 ADVICE Ice / frozen or sticky ingredients such as honey, banana and avocado For the best possible result:

• Cut the food into chunks measuring approx 2cm

• Coarsely chop the herbs or leaves before adding them

• Always add the ingredients in the order specified in the recipe

• When processing thick mixtures, always start at a low speed, otherwise the food will stick to the sides and not come into contact with the blades If necessary, add a little liquid and use the spatula

• To add ingredients, either remove the measuring cap or stop the machine and remove the lid

• Never run your blender if the jug is empty To process dry ingredients such as nuts and spices, we recommend using the mill attachment, which has a specially designed blade assembly. Fresh fruit and vegetables except for banana and avocado Leaves, herbs such as spinach and fresh herbs Hard or dry ingredients such as cereals, nuts and carrots Liquids such as water, milk and fruit juice Never fill above the MAX mark. Never add solid or liquid ingredients if they are above 60°C in temperature. Downloaded from www.vandenborre.be27 ADVICE Tips

• Hot soups: wait for the ingredients to cool to 60°C (tasting temperature) before blending Make sure that the measuring cap is only loosely positioned on the lid, to allow any steam to escape Either use the SOUP programme or start at a low speed and gradually increase it Never use the PULSE button

• Crushed ice: the ICE function reduces ice cubes to a very fine, snow-like pow- der If you want more coarsely crushed ice, put a small number of ice cubes (100/150g max) in the jug and use the PULSE button

• To fold ingredients into a mixture without chopping them (eg chocolate chips in a cake mixture), add them at the end and run your blender for a further 5-10 seconds at a slow speed (05)

• Using frozen fruit: when fruit come out of the freezer it sometimes forms a solid block Break this block into cubes measuring roughly 2cm before putting in the jug, to avoid damaging your blender

• To rescue a lumpy sauce, blend it for 15 s at Speed 3 Automatic overload failsafe Your appliance is fitted with a safety system that cuts the motor if it is overloaded or has been running for too long The indicator light then starts to flash

• Turn to the selector to 0 and unplug your appliance

• Wait for about 30 minutes before restarting your blender

Downloaded from www.vandenborre.be31 BLENDCUPS CITRUS PRESS Slot the citrus press onto the lid Turn until it locks into place Press then remove Tips and advice

• Run at a low speed for the first few seconds, until all the ingredients are caught up in the blades, then gradually increase the speed

• Never run the blender continuously for more than 1 minute, otherwise the ingredients may heat up and pressure may build up inside the jug

• If blending is difficult, reduce either the speed or the amount being processed If the preparation is thick, add some liquid (without going above the MAX mark)

• Dense or sticky (eg nut-based) preparations tend to stick to the sides If this happens, switch the blender off, wait until the blades have come to a complete standstill and shake the jug downwards to send the ingredients back towards the blades

• The base of the jug is shaped to fit the cupholder in your vehicle Downloaded from www.vandenborre.beCLEANING
