ADVICE AND TIPS
■ When using the blender attachment, it is recommended to always blend at alower speed. While blending, move the blender up and down to blend
the ingredients to the required consistency.
■ To prevent ingredients from splattering, put the blender attachment A4 or the whisk A8 into the beaker containing the ingredients before starting
it, and conversely turn it off before pulling the attachment out of the beaker.
■ To prevent ingredients from splattering, keep the blade assembly A5 of the blending attachment and whisk A9 submerged while the appliance is
running. It is recommended to divide alarger amount of processed ingredients into several batches and to regularly inspect the contents inside
the beaker.
■ When using the blender or chopper attachment, it is recommended to process ingredients using short pulses. This will prevent the ingredients from
being excessively pulverised and optimal results will be achieved.
■ To make blending and chopping easier, cut hard ingredients into small pieces.
■ To achieve better blending results, hold the stick blender slightly tilted, while carefully moving it up and down in the beaker. Do not use force to
push ingredients down with the stick blender.
■ Before blending or chopping, remove hard parts such as fruit stones or bones from the blended ingredients. This will prevent damaging the blade assembly.
