LAKELAND CORDLESS BLENDING SET

Thank you for choosing this Lakeland Cordless Blending Set. Please take a little time to read this booklet before you use your blender and then keep it in a safe place for future reference.

We are sure you will be delighted with the performance and will enjoy many years of preparing smoothies, soups, drinks, baby food and much more with the cordless blender. It blends for 10-15 minutes on a single charge, far longer than you will need for most tasks. It is convenient to use because you can take it to where you want to work, rather than having to be restricted by plugs, and it has a great safety feature in that you won't have to worry about getting cables in liquids or near heat sources.

An award winning family-owned business, here at Lakeland we still have the same values of excellent quality, value for money and exceptional customer care as we did when we first set up the company in the 1960s. Our products are carefully selected and rigorously tested to meet our high standards, so you can be assured that any product you purchase will be easy-to-use and highly durable.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE CORDLESS HAND BLENDER AND USING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Before first use, the blender will need to charge for approximately 8-10 hours
- Thoroughly clean the parts which will be in contact with food before using the blender for the first time.
- Charge the blender until the all three battery indicators light up (approximately 2 hours) when the appliance has not been used for a short period.
- Plug the power supply into the charging stand and connect to mains power supply. Then place the main unit into the stand. Ensure the battery indicator lights up and flashes to indicate charging status.

• Assemble the blender by unlocking the blender wand from the charging stand by clockwise

- Place the blender wand onto the main unit and turn clockwise to the locked position until it is firmly secured

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Place the food into the measuring/mixing jug.
• Lower the blender wand into the mixing jug, the blade shield should be immersed into the food.
• Slide the control switch downward and then press it to turn on the blender. Gently move the blender upward, downward and in a circular movement to get best result.
  • To prevent food from splashing, do not turn on the blender until the blender shield is fully immersed in the food, and stop blending before you lift it back out of food.
• Always allow boiling foods or liquids to cool down before starting to blend. The mixing jug is heat resistant up to 80-90°C.

• Cut the food into small pieces (about 2cm) before processing by the blender
- Disconnect the blender wand and clean the blender immediately after use.
- Connect the power supply to the stand. Then return the main unit to the stand for battery charging.
- When the blender battery indicator is at low, you should stop using the appliance and recharge the battery until full.
- When the blender is not in use, remove the blender wand from the main unit immediately.

A GUIDE TO INGREDIENTS

• The blender is recommended for mixing mayonnaise, cream and milk based products, drinks, baby foods, sauces, foods such as chopped onion, pureeing cooked fruits and vegetables but is not suitable for mixing hard ingredients.
• Can be used for warm foods but not above 80°C as the mixing jug is not heat resistant above this and there is a risk of scalding if the food splashes or spills
  • Always half fill the measuring/mixing jug with the product to be blended to allow the blender space to rotate and the ingredient levels to rise during blending without risk of spilling

HINTS AND TIPS

• Do not overfill the mixing jug as the level may rise when the blender is turned on, it is better to blend half of a recipe, and then repeat, than to overfill the jug and risk splashing or scalding with a liquid
• If the battery indicator light is red during operation this may be an overload warning indicating that the blade is finding it difficult to blend an item either because it is too chunky and hard or too thick. Stop blending, wait for the blade to stop moving, disconnect the wand from the main unit and then check to see if any food is caught in the blade.
• For best results blend for about 1 minute, then rest the blender for about 1 minute, then blend again
• Keep, charge or use the appliance in rooms where the temperature should be between 5°C and 35°C
