    IMPORTANT: HOT BLENDING INSTRUCTIONS
    To minimise the possibility of scalding when blending hot ingredients keep hands and other exposed skin away from the lid to prevent possible burns.
    The following precautions must be observed:

    • CAUTION: Blending very hot ingredients may result in hot liquid and steam being forced suddenly past the lid or filler cap.
    • We recommend that hot ingredients are allowed to cool before blending.
    • NEVER exceed the hot liquid marking on the goblet if processing hot ingredients, such as soups.
    •  ALWAYS commence blending at a low speed and gradually increase the speed. NEVER blend hot liquids by using the Pulse setting.
    •  Liquids which tend to foam such as milk, should be limited to a maximum capacity of 1000mls/4 cups.
    •  Take care when handling the blender as the goblet and its contents will be very hot.
    •  Take particular care when removing the lid. The lid is designed to be a tight fit to prevent leakage. If necessary protect your hands with a cloth or oven gloves when handling.
    • Ensure the goblet is securely attached to the base and when removing from the appliance, guide the base and ensure it is removed together with the goblet.
    •  Ensure that the lid and filler cap are securely in place before every blending operation.
    •  Always ensure that the vents in the filler cap are clear before every blending operation.
    •  When fitting the lid to the goblet always ensure that the lid and goblet rim are clean and dry to ensure a good seal and prevent spillage.

    Mill Attachments 

    •  Never fit the blade assembly to the power unit without the jar/lid fitted.
    •  Never unscrew the jar/lid while the mill is fitted to your appliance.
    •  Do not touch the sharp blades – Keep the blade assembly away from children.
    • Never remove the mill until the blades have completely stopped.
    •  The appliance will not work if the mill is incorrectly fitted.
    • Do not process hot ingredients in the mill allow to cool down to room temperature before processing.

    Mini Chopper/Mill  

    • The processing of spices is not recommended as they may damage the plastic parts.

    Grinding Mill

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

    Juice extractor

    •  Do not use the juicer if the filter, juicer lid or bowl are damaged or has visible cracks.
    •  The cutting blades on the base of the filter drum are very sharp, take care when handling and cleaning the drum.
    •  Only use the pusher supplied. Never put your fingers in the feed tube. Unplug before unblocking the feed tube.
    •  Before removing the lid, switch off and wait for the filter to stop.

    Express Dice/Express Serve Attachment and Discs

    • The cutting grid and discs are very sharp; handle with care when fitting, removing and cleaning. Always hold by the finger grip away from the cutting edge when handling the sharp cutting blades, emptying the bowl and during cleaning.
    •  Never use your fingers to push food down the feed tube. Only use the pusher supplied.
    • Do not use excessive force to push food down the feed tube –you could damage your attachment.
    • Before removing the lid, switch off and wait until the disc has completely stopped.
    •  Do not pour hot liquids down the feed tube.

    Express Serve

    •  Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep fingers out of the food outlet opening.
    •  Do not operate when using the Dicer or Discs without the slinger plate fitted. If the slinger plate is not fitted food will clog under the plate and not exit the food outlet, resulting in damage to your attachment.
    • The citrus juicer is not designed to be used with the Express Serve. Always use the citrus juicer with the main bowl.

    Cleaning

  1.  Wipe the power unit and whisk drive head with a damp cloth, then dry. Ensure that the interlock area is clear of food debris.
  2.  Do not immerse the power unit, whisk drive head or blade assemblies in water.
  3.  The bowl, lid, pusher and all attachments/tools apart from the blade assemblies and whisk drive head are suitable for both handwashing and dishwashing.
  4.  The blade assemblies should be brushed clean and rinsed under running water.
  5.  Blender with fixed blades – Do not dishwash or immerse the blender base in water. Fill with warm water, fit the lid, then switch on for 20-30 seconds. Empty, then rinse. If it is still dirty use a brush. Wipe, then leave to air-dry.
