Your new Mistral Slender BlenderTM is great for preparing a variety of food and drinks including the following:
A variety of mixed drinks.
Chopping fruits and vegetables.
Producing emulsions e.g. mayonnaise, sauces, baby foods, creams.
Making puree vegetables for soups, baby foods etc.
Preparing cocktails and shakes.

IMPORTANT
The appliance is designed for short periods of use, do not keep on for longer than 30 seconds at a time, rest 5 minutes before next use.
The Slender BlenderTM performs tasks in seconds – not minutes. Stop blender to check the consistency during operation, if necessary restart.
Any time you feel the unit becomes too hot, stop and allow it to cool.
Tips and Techniques
Move the blender up and down in the mixture in a circular motion unless a recipe calls for a specific mixing procedure, as a strong suction may occur if the blender is left sitting on the bottom of the container while in operation.
When mixing powdery ingredients with liquid, turn off the blender about half way through the mixing time. Scrape down sides of container and the blending shaft before mixing again.
Watch the consistency of foods while using the Slender Blender and check the blade and the blade housing for clogged food. Turn the power off and use a rubber scraper to carefully remove any obstruction.
DO NOT use the Slender BlenderTM in a container that is still cooking on the stove.
Wash fresh foods and remove (inedible) parts before using.
Cut firm and fibrous foods into 1cm to 1.5cm pieces and softer foods into 1.5cm to 2.5cm pieces.
Most foods require some liquid for effective circulation through the blades. Soft, juicy foods may need little liquid, dry foods will require more liquid. Add liquid in small amounts until the desired consistency is obtained.
This product is not intended for continued use.
