5. PRACTICAL ADVICE

When using the mixer for making drinks, 

wash all ingredients well and cut them 

into pieces so that they fit into the mixer 

opening.

•

  For optimum results, it is best to mix 

small rather than large quantities of 

food, especially when the item in 

question is very thick or heavy.

•

  Remove the top lid 

(1)

 from the jug lid

(2)

 in order to add ingredients to the jug 

(3)

 while the motor is running. 

•

  To avoid spillage, it is best to insert 

a small quantity of food into the jug 

through the lid opening, and then top up 

little by little as the food is mixed.  

•

  Do not fill the jug up to more than 2/3 

of its capacity, since the action of the 

blades may cause it to overspill. 

•

  It is best to place liquid ingredients into 

the jug before solid ones. The liquid 

helps to mix the items more quickly and 

at a lower speed.

•

  Mix the ingredients for short times 

only (between 5 and 30 seconds). 

Then check the consistency and 

continue processing until you obtain the 

consistency you require. 

•

  If the consistency you require is not 

obtained rapidly, stop the appliance by 

turning the selector to 

‘0’

 and:

-  Turn the selector to the 

P 

position a 

few times in a row. 

-  Remove the jug lid and mix the food 

items using a spatula.

-  Reduce the quantity of food to be 

mixed.

•

  All fruit should be peeled and chopped 

and all stones, pips, etc. removed before 

being placed in the jug.

•

  Some vegetables, such as tomatoes, 

should also be peeled and chopped 

before being processed.

•

  When you begin mixing, hold the mixer 

lid down firmly.

•

  Remove any dampness or liquid on the 

mixer base immediately, using kitchen 

paper.

•

  Do not work with thick mixtures or heavy 

food items. If the motor is unable to 

work freely, it will stop. If this happens:

-  Add a little liquid to the mixture.

- Set 

to 

P 

mode.

-  Stop the mixer for a few seconds 

and use a spatula to clean the sides 

of the jug and push the ingredients 

towards the blades.

-  Empty the jug a little.

NOTE:

 CUT ALL INGREDIENTS INTO 

CUBES (OF APPROX. 2-3 CM) IN ORDER 

TO ENSURE A UNIFORM MIX.

To mix ice, follow the steps outlined below:

•

  Insert the ice cubes into the jug. 

•

  Replace the lid and press and hold 

P 

until the mixture obtains a snow-like 

texture. 

 NOTE:

 WHEN MIXING ICE, ALWAYS 

HOLD THE JUG LID IN PLACE WITH 

YOUR HAND.

•

  Always add a cup of liquid when mixing 

ice.

6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

MAKE SURE THAT THE MIXER IS 

SWITCHED OFF AND UNPLUGGED 

BEFORE ADDING OR REMOVING ANY 

OF THE PARTS.

•

  We recommend that you clean the 

appliance immediately after use.  

Remove the jug. Remove the lid and 

blades before inserting your hand or 

fingers into the jug in order to clean it. 

•

  Never try to assemble or disassemble 

the mixer for cleaning purposes without 

first unplugging it from the mains. 

•

  Use a small toothbrush (not provided) to 

remove any food that may have become
