ENGLISH
Note: Always keep the filler cap secured in position, unless ingredients are being added to the Blender.
Warning! Wait until all moving parts have stopped before removing the lid or jug.
•To serve a smoothie, simply press your glass against the dispensing lever on the motor base.
•When the glass is full, release the lever.
Note: To help dispense the last amount of a thick smoothie drink, add a few tablespoons of liquid to increase the flow.
Note: Always wash immediately after use. Do not let food dry onto the jug, valve or dispensing assembly as this will make cleaning difficult.
Using the smoothie maker to crush ice
Note: For best results defrost ice cubes slightly before crushing. To crush home made (small) ice cubes fill the jug to 750ml and add 200mls water. To crush shop bought (large) ice cubes add 15 ice cubes to the blender jug and add 200ml of water.
•Remove the jug lid and place recommended ice cube and water quantity inside the jug.
•Replace the jug lid ensuring the filler cap is in place. Make sure that the speed control dial is set to the off position ‘0’ before plugging the smoothie maker into the mains supply.
•Plug in and switch the smoothie maker on at the mains socket.
•Blend in short bursts by holding and releasing the speed control dial to the PULSE setting.
•If you want to crush ice cubes, put not more than 6 ice cubes (of approx. 25x35x25mm) in the blender jar and turn the control knob to pulse position a few times.
•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.
Caution! Do not operate the unit continuously for more than one minute without a rest period of two minutes.
•When blending is complete, switch off and unplug the unit from the mains supply.
Useful advice
•The best results will be obtained if you blend fresh food, as food that have been stored for any length of time will be dry in nature.
•Prepare your fruit and vegetables in advance and place the cut pieces in a dish ready for blending. Cut your fruit and vegetables into pieces that will fit easily through the lid hole, but do not make them too small.
•Never attempt to force large pieces of fruit or vegetables through the lid hole, cut them into smaller pieces first.
•As a general guideline, you do not need to peel any fruits and vegetables whose skin you would normally eat. However, we do recommend washing all produce before it is blended.
•Certified organic vegetables are guaranteed not to contain chemical residues but should still be washed, as they have been handled prior to sale.
