OPERATING TIPS

The Pro-line Blender is a great addition to any kitchen, allowing simple and quick preparation of drinks, purees, sauces and soups. The more familiar you are with your Pro-line Blender the easier preparing dishes will be. Below are some tips that will help you get started.
For best results pour liquids and soft ingredients into the blender jug first followed by the harder ingredients such as ice cubes, leafy greens.
When making sauces, stuffing’s or processing nuts, put in between 2 and 3 cups of ingredients (as per the markings on the Blender Jug). The amount needs to be neither too large or too small.
Keep the blending time below 2 minutes to prevent any burning smell due to overheating. Too large a quantity of ingredients may lead to overloading and overheating of the motor. In this case, wait until the motor temperature falls before operating again.
When blending thick or sticky ingredients always start at low speed before increasing to high speed. If there is no rotation of the blades disconnect the power and stir the contents.
Do not overload the unit nor add too little ingredients.
To prevent spillage, do not put liquid in blender jug exceeding the MAX line.
To avoid leaks place the lid firmly on the Blending Jug.
Blender Jug components come pre-assembled and should not be disassembled.
The Blender cannot be operated if:
- The Blender Jug is not correctly seated on the base,
- The Speed Dial is turned to variable speed before the jug is positioned onto the base,
- The Blender Jug is removed during operation and put back again.

To resolve the above and reset the Blender, turn the Speed Dial back to the OFF position and ensure the Blender Jug is correctly positioned on the Base.

LID / MEASURING CUP

The lid comes with a detachable 90ml measuring cup. The measuring cup can be removed during operation to add additional ingredients.

WARNING: RISK OF INJURY: Do not remove the measuring cup during the SOUP Program to avoid scalding due to splashes of hot liquid

To remove measuring cup twist cup anti-clockwise a quarter turn and then lift upwards.

To insert measuring cup align the two tabs on the bottom with the slots on the lid, push measuring cup down and then twist clockwise until it locks.

Ensure that the lid is always securely pushed onto the Blender Jug before use.

TAMPER

The tamper is used to guide ingredients towards the blades or to remove air bubbles from thick, sticky ingredients such as dough. It is specially designed to work without touching the blade in the blender.

WARNING: ONLY use the tamper through the measuring cup hole in the lid. Do NOT use any other object to press ingredients towards the blades .

IMPORTANT: When using the tamper ensure the Blender Jug Lid is in place. Remove the Measuring Cup then insert the Tamper into the blender through the measuring cup hole, and do not remove the Blender Jug Lid. See fig 1.
