  • Plug the appliance to the socket and start operating by selecting the speed level (7).
  • When mixing is complete, turn the speed adjustment knob (7) to the “0” position and remove the plug from the socket.
Crushing ice

WARNINGS:

  • Add water to the glass container (3) to break ice in the appliance.
  • To process crushed ice, we recommend adding three-quarters of ice and 15 ml of cold drinking water to the container.
  • After adding 15 ml of water into the glass container (3), add 3/4 ice.
  • Plug the appliance to the socket and start operating by selecting the speed level (7).
  • To add more ice during op-eration, open the measuring cap (1) and add ice cubes.
  • When mixing is complete, turn the speed adjustment knob (7) to the “0” position and remove the plug from the socket.
  • To remove the glass container (3) from the motor unit (6), turn it to the “ ” symbol and take it out. Place the con-tainer (3) to a level surface and turn and lift the lid (2) clockwise to open.

“P” position
The process of 1-2 seconds operation in the position “P” on the speed adjustment button (7) is called “PULSE”.
For high-speed mixing with short strokes, keep the speed adjustment knob (7) in the “P” position. When you release the button, the speed adjustment knob (7) automatically returns to the “OFF” position and the device starts to stop.

Tips for blending
  1. To add ice cubes to the mixes while the blender is running, dispose of one ice cube at a time by removing the measuring cap (1). To make the blender mix the ice properly, wait for a few seconds before adding the next ice cube.
  2. To add more food, remove the measuring cap (1) and insert the ingredients through the hole. Make sure the food is cut to a size of 2-5 cm to fit through the hole. Put back the cap (1) when you have finished adding ingredients.
  3. While blending solid food like raw vegetables, cooked or raw meat, and fruits, always cut these materials into pieces of 2-5 cm in length before putting them in the glass container (3). Do not put more than 2 units of such food at once in the blender. This will speed up the blending process and reduce the abrasion on the blender blades (8).
  4. Unless otherwise described in the recipe, always add the liquid ingredient in the glass container (3) first.
  5. To blend a drink, put all ingredients in the glass container (3) at once.
  6. Avoid over-blending. It is usually enough to blend for a few seconds.
  7. Over-blending turns food into mush.

  • Be careful when cleaning the chopping blades unit. The chopping blade (9) is sharp. Try not to hold it from the blade side and do not immerse it in water.
  • Never clean the blades with bare hands.
  • Clean the table blender after each use. Do not let any residual food dry on or in the blender. It will be harder to clean it if you do so.
