• To bring the ingredients to the boil as quickly as possible, it is recommended to use the
Heater button High (›KOCHEN‹) first. During heating up use the mix function in intervals.
As soon as your foods are boiling, switch to a lower temperature setting Low (›GAREN‹),
or Simmer (›SIEDEN‹) button.
• If soup recipes calls for cheese or cream to be added, do this after the cooking time has
passed. Do not allow boiling again. Most soups will actually be hot enough to melt the
cheese using just the mix function rather than further heating.
• To make low fat soups, use low fat fromage frais instead of crème fraîche or sour cream.
• If your soup is too thick, thin with a little water, broth or semi-skimmed milk for blending,
but ensure not to exceed a total amount of 1.4 litre.
• If you are making tomato soup and your tomatoes are too pale and under ripe, add 1tbsp
of tomato purée to add colour and flavour.
• Cut large pieces of food into cubes of ca. 1.5 to 2.5 cm length (0.5 to 1 in) to achieve a
more uniform result. Especially, cut cheese into pieces not larger than 1.5 cm.
• Use the measuring cup in the lid to measure liquid ingredients such as broth or milk.
Always replace the measuring cup after the ingredients have been added.
• When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, breadcrumbs, nuts and spices via the
blender function ensure that the glass jar and cutting blades are completely dry. Otherwise,
these ingredients will stick to the walls of the glass jar.
• If food tends to stick to the sides of the glass jar when blending, use the PULSE-function
in short bursts.
• Pulses should be short bursts. Between pulses wait until the blades come to rest.
• Don’t over process foods. This appliance will achieve best results in seconds not minutes.
• For frozen drinks, chill all ingredients before blending.
• If foods do not seem to be blending smoothly, use the pulse function to chop then blend
continuously.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING! The blades are very sharp. Handle the blades with care.
If the heater function has been used shortly before, the glass jar and especially the bottom
of the jar collar are very hot. Always switch off the blender function, unplug from the power
outlet and allow cooling before disassembling the glass jar, or cleaning the appliance. Do
not immerse the motor base or power cord in water or any other liquids.
Do not use any abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads, other hard or sharp-edged objects, che-
micals, or corrosive liquids for cleaning as this could affect or damage the surfaces. Do not
spill any liquids on the motor base or the power cord. Do not place the motor base
in an automatic dishwasher.
Always clean the appliance after each use. Do not leave any food dry up on the appliance
or any parts of it to prevent a build up of baked-on foods.
