Using the appliance

Measuring cup (G)

You can use the measuring cup to measure ingredients.

To prepare mayonnaise:The oil should be added very slowly to obtain the right consistency. Run the blender at a low speed when preparing mayonnaise.

Blender

The blender is used for fine pureeing, chopping and blending. With the blender you can prepare soups, sauces and milk shakes, and process vegetables, fruit, meat, batter etc.

Preparing the blender for use

1. Assemble the sealing ring (E) on the blade unit (D) (fig. 1).
   Screw the blade unit anticlockwise onto the bottom of the blender jar (C) until the blade unit is fixed properly (fig. 2).
   3 Mount the blender jar, with the blade unit attached onto the motor unit (A) and fix it by turning it clockwise until you hear a 'click'. The blender jar can be mounted in two positions (fig. 3 and fig. 4).
   Make sure that the appliance is plugged in.

How to use the blender

Put the ingredients in the blender jar.
2 Place the lid on the blender jar.
3 Close the lid by pushing it down and turning the lid clockwise until you hear a 'click' (fig. 5).
4 Insert the measuring cup into the opening in the lid.
5 Turn the control knob to speed I or 2.

Turn the control knob to 'pulse' position if you want to process ingredients very briefly.
6 Do not let the appliance run for more than 3 minutes at a time.

Disassembling the blender

• Cut meat or other solid ingredients into smaller pieces before putting them in the blender jar.
• Do not process a large quantity of solid ingredients at the same time. To get good results, we advise you to process these ingredients in a series of small batches.
• To make tomato juice, cut the tomatoes in four and drop the pieces through the opening in the lid onto the rotating blades.

Filter Only types HRI724 and HRI727

With this filter you can make delicious fresh fruit juices, cocktails or soy milk. The filter prevents pips and skins from ending up in your drink.

Never overload the filter. Do not put more than 50g of unsoaked dried soy beans or 150g of fruit in the filter at the same time.

Preparing the filter for use

Mount the blender with the blade unit attached to it onto the motor unit (A) and fix it by turning it clockwise until you hear a click (fig. 3). The blender jar can be mounted in two positions.
2 Put the filter (K) in the blender jar (fig. 6).

3Make sure that the appliance is plugged in.

How to use the filter

Place the lid (F) on the blender jar.
2 Put the ingredients in the filter (fig. 7). Do not fill the filter beyond the top of the sieve mesh. Cut fruits into smaller pieces and soak dry ingredients, such as soy beans, before putting them in filter.
3 Pour water or another liquid (milk, juice, etc.) into the blender jar.
4 Insert the measuring cup (G) into the hole in the lid.

Let the appliance run for approx. 40 seconds.

For optimal results, put the jar with the remaining ingredients back onto the appliance and let it run for a few more seconds.

Note: when you are processing a large quantity, we advise you not to put all the ingredients in the filter at the same time. Start processing a small quantity and let the appliance run for a few seconds. Then switch the appliance off and add another small quantity, but do not exceed the top of the sieve mesh. Repeat this procedure until you have processed all the ingredients. Always keep the lid on the blender jar during processing.
