NOTE
Raw foods such as meats and seafood need to
be cooked prior to using the SOUP program.
WARNING
Do not add hot ingredients when using the
SOUP program.
If the blender is running and you press a
different preset button, it will switch to that
program without stopping. If a program is
running and you press the same program button
again, it will pause that program and timer. To
resume press the same program button again.
CLEAN
Use to remove most of the ingredients off the
blender walls and blades. Add 4 cups of warm
soapy water to the blender jug and press the
CLEAN button. For harder to clean, sticky or
thick ingredients, add ½ teaspoon of liquid
dish detergent for extra cleaning power. For
best results, clean the blender jug this way
immediately after use.

Tips
• The inner measuring cap can be removed
and oils/liquids or other ingredients added
during blending. Extreme care must be taken
as depending on the mixture and speeds of
operation, splashes can eject from the Lid.
It is not suggested to remove the inner
measuring cap when blending hot liquids.
• Do not exceed the maximum mark when adding
foods and liquids into the blender.
• Run the blender only for the appropriate amount
of time required - do not over blend ingredients.
• Use the PULSE | ICE CRUSH button when
food is too thick or coarse to circulate within the
blender jug.
• The tamper accessory can be used during
blending by removing the inner measuring
cap. Always make sure the main lid stays firmly
in place.
• Ingredients may stick to the sides of the blender
jug. To push food back onto the blades with the
main lid on (inner cap removed), use the tamper
provided to scrape down the sides of the jug, and
continue blending.
• If any moisture or liquid spills on top of the motor
base during blending, turn the blender off and
unplug from the outlet. Remove the blender jug,
and wipe motor base immediately with a dry
cloth or paper towel.
• The optimum amount of ice cubes that
the blender can process in the jug is 250g
(approximately 1 standard ice tray).
• Thicker mixtures puree more efficiently if the jug
is ¼ to ½ full.
• Do not use metal utensils, as they may damage
the blades or blender jug.
• To remove any food that cannot easily be
scraped out from under the blades, replace lid
and turn blender back on high speed for 4–5
seconds to spin foods out from under blades.
