Only operate the liquidiser with the lid in place.

Only use the goblet with the blade assembly supplied.

Never run the liquidiser empty.

To ensure the long life of your liquidiser, do not run it continuously for longer than 60 seconds.

Smoothie recipes - never blend frozen ingredients that have formed a solid mass during freezing, break it up before adding to the goblet.

hints

When making mayonnaise, put all the ingredients, except the oil, into the liquidiser. Remove the filler cap. Then, with the appliance running, add the oil slowly through the hole in the lid.

Thick mixtures, e.g. pâtés and dips, may need scraping down. If the mixture is difficult to process, add more liquid.

Ice crushing - operate the pulse in short bursts until crushed to the desired consistency.

The appliance will not work if the liquidiser is incorrectly fitted.

To blend dry ingredients - cut into pieces, remove the filler cap, then with the appliance running, drop the pieces down one by one. Keep your hand over the opening. For best results empty regularly.

Don’t use the liquidiser as a storage container. Keep it empty before and after use.

Never blend more than 1.5 litres (2pts 12floz) - less for frothy liquids like milkshakes.

Black peppercorns, cardamom seeds, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, fresh ginger root, fresh chillies and whole cloves.

Do not touch the sharp blades – Keep the blade unit away from children.

Never remove the mill until the blades have completely stopped.

To ensure the long life of your mill, do not run it continuously for longer than 60 seconds. Switch off as soon as you have got the right consistency.

The appliance will not work if the mill is incorrectly fitted.

Do not process turmeric root in the mill as it is too hard and may damage the blades.

hints

For optimum performance when processing spices we recommend that you do not process more than 100g at a time in the mill.

Whole spices retain their flavour for a much longer time than ground spices so it is best to grind a small quantity fresh at a time to retain the flavour.

To release the maximum flavour and essential oils whole spices are best roasted prior to milling.

Cut ginger up into small pieces before processing.

For best results the mini bowl attachment is recommended when chopping herbs.
