replaced.
1. Make sure the blender is switched off . Place the base of the blender on a dry, even surface.
2. Put the container or grinder in its place at the base of the blender and make sure it is properly seated.
3. Plug the power cable into the power outlet.
4. Place the ingredients in the container and close the lid.
5. Processing food or beverage: place your hand on the lid and switch the blender on.

7. Always switch off the blender or the grinder before removing it and wait until the blade unit stops.
8. When removing the blender container or the grinder, lift them up vertically. If you feel resistance from the
container, move it gently from side to side. Never twist the container or the grinder.
9. Do not put on the container or the grinder when the motor is on.
Blender and speed controls

process – the motor is running only when you press control. When you switch to speed 1 or 2 blender is
running until the you switch it back to 0.
Continual mixing

and mix for required time. Then switch the blender off by turning it to position 0.
Notice: Let the motor in operation not more than 1 minute or alternatively 1 minute on and 3 minutes off to
prevent overheating and subsequent damage.
Controlled mixing in the pulse mode.
Put one hand on the lid of the container. Turn the switch to "PULSE" position and hold about 2 seconds. Let
go of the switch and wait until the blade unit stops. Repeat the cycle until prepared food reaches the desired
consistency.
Note: If necessary, the switch can be held in the "PULSE" position longer than 2 seconds.
Using the grinder
Use the grinder to grind herbs, spices and nuts.

2. Place the blade unit on the bowl and secure it by turning it until the unit locks into the bayonet lock.
3. Attach the grinder to the base with the motor and make sure that it is properly seated.
4. Switch to maximum speed or use the pulse mode. Hold the container with hand during grinding.
5. Process so long until the ingredients are perfectly ground.
Notice: If the grinding should take more than 30 seconds, stop the grinding after 30 seconds and continue
after a pause (5 minutes).

Useful tips

• Be careful when processing warm liquids. The hot liquid could splash out when you remove the lid.
• If you plan to add liquids to solid foods, start with little amounts of liquid. Gradually add more and more
liquid through the hole in the lid.
• If you are using the blender to prepare salsa or other recipes with tomatoes, onions and other vegetables,
you can achieve better results with lesser speed.
• If during processing the blender stops or ingredients stick to the container sides, turn off the blender,
remove the lid and use a plastic spatula to remove the sticking mixture.
• Do not use the blender container for storing prepared foods or beverages.
