Frequently Asked Questions - BL3008 TEFAL

How do I assemble the blender jug?

Moisten the gasket (c2) and place it correctly on the blade unit (c1) so that the 3 folds are visible. Place the blade assembly on the jug base and lock by rotating a quarter turn anticlockwise. Then place the lid and measuring cup.

Why won't my blender start?

Ensure the jug or accessory is correctly positioned and locked on the motor unit. The red lock should be aligned before turning to green. Also check that the plug is properly inserted and the socket is switched on.

What is the maximum capacity of the blender jug?

For thick mixtures, do not exceed 1.25 L. For liquid preparations, do not exceed 1 L.

Can I put the blender jug in the dishwasher?

Only the glass version of the blender jug is dishwasher safe on the upper rack using ECO or LOW SALT program. The plastic jug and accessories (herb chopper, spice grinder) are not dishwasher safe.

How long can I run the blender continuously?

Do not use the blender for more than three minutes at a time. Allow the motor to cool before using again.

What accessories are included with the BL3008?

The blender comes with a herb chopper (D) and a spice grinder (E), depending on the model. Check the label on the packaging for the specific accessories included.

How do I attach the herb chopper or spice grinder?

Place the gasket in the blade unit recess, position the blade unit on the bowl aligning marks, and lock by rotating a quarter turn anticlockwise. Then place the assembly on the motor unit, align red lock, and rotate clockwise to green.

What should I do if the blender leaks from the base?

Check that the jug gasket (c2) is correctly positioned with the 3 folds visible. Also ensure the blade unit is locked properly. For accessories, check the gasket on the blade unit (d2 or e2).

Can I blend hot liquids?

The manual does not specify blending hot liquids. It is generally advisable to let hot liquids cool before blending to avoid pressure buildup and potential leaks.

SAFETY LOCKING

The appliance can run only when the jug (C) or accessories (D or E) are

correctly positioned and locked on the motor unit (A).

USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

- Before using your appliance for the first time, clean all the accessories (C, D, E, F) in warm soapy water, except for the motor unit (A).

USING YOUR APPLIANCE

- Moisten the gasket (c2) and position it correctly on the blade unit (c1): the 3 folds of the gasket must be visible once it is in place. If it is

positioned in the other direction, you will not be able to lock the blade unit on the jug. (Fig. 1).

- Place the assembly (c1 + c2) on the

base of the jug (c3). Lock it by rotating the blade unit through a quarter turn in the anticlockwise direction. (Fig. 2).

- Introduce the ingredients into the assembled jug without exceeding the maximum level indicated:

* 1.25L for thick mixtures
* 1L for liquid preparations.

• Lock the lid (c4) on the jug. Place the measuring cup (c5) in its recess on the lid.
• Place the blender jug assembly (C) on the motor unit (A). The red lock (open 6 aligned in the slot on the motor unit. (Fig. 3 - position 1))
• Then rotate the blender jug (C) through a quarter turn until the green lock (closed) appears. (Fig. 3 - position 2).

2 jug positions are possible: handle on the right or left of the motor unit.

• Do not use the blender for more than three minutes at a time.
• With the herb chopper (D) you can chop ingredients like onions, garlic, meat (cut into pieces) and dry fruits in a few seconds, make crumbs (rusk).

Do not use the herb chopper for liquid preparations (fruit juices, etc.)

• With the spice grinder (E) you can grind spices in a few seconds: coriander seeds, pepper, etc.
  • These accessories are equipped with a bowl (F) that prevents access to the blades during use.

1- Rotate the bowl (F) and pour the ingredients.
2- Position the gasket (d1) or (e1) in its recess on the blade unit (d2 or e2). (Fig. 4). Position the blade unit on the bowl aligning both the marks on the bowl and the blade unit. Lock the accessory by rotating the blade unit through a quarter turn in the anticlockwise direction. (Fig. 5).

Caution: leaks can occur if the accessory is not locked correctly.

3- Rotate the assembled assembly (D or E) and position it on the motor unit. The red lock (open) aligned in the slot on the motor unit. (Fig 6 - position 1)
4- Then rotate the assembled accessory (D or E) through a quarter turn clockwise until the green lock (closed) appears. (Fig. 6 - position 2).
5- Plug in the appliance and turn the speed selector (B) to the desired position or apply a few pulses. Hold the bowl (F) when the appliance is running. To stop the appliance, turn the speed selector (B) back to position "0".
6- Unlock the accessory by rotating it through a quarter turn in the anticlockwise direction, until the red lock (open) ☐ appears. Remove the assembled accessory (D, E) from the motor unit. Turn it over on the worktop before unlocking the blade unit (d2, e2) from the bowl (F) in the reverse order of the assembly. The blades are very sharp: handle them with caution to avoid injury. You can then collect the preparation in the bowl.

* The colour of the bowl may change after blending certain very hard ingredients: (cloves, cinnamon, etc.).
