Getting to Know Your Blender

The High-Powered Food Blender is a powerful kitchen appliance designed to blend a variety of ingredients. It comes with a range  of accessories including a Cup 600ml, Jug 2L, Tamper Stick, Opener, 8 Blade, and 6 Blade. The blender features multiple speed settings  and a pulse function for precise control over blending consistency. It also includes a removable centre cap for tampering and adding extra ingredients during mixing.

Product Usage Instructions

Load and Layer Your Ingredients Correctly

For optimal blending speed and ease, follow these steps:

1. Add liquids to the blender first.
2. Add powders.
3. Add solids.
4. Add frozen ingredients.

Start by placing softer, high-moisture foods like liquids, fresh fruits, and vegetables in the blender. Then, add harder solid foods like ice, frozen foods, and nuts last. Ensure that you do not fill the jug more than two-thirds full to avoid overflow during blending.

Secure the Lid and Use the Tamper Stick

Hold the lid down with one hand while blending, especially at high speeds, to prevent it from coming off. Avoid inserting any utensils into the blender while it is running. To use the Tamper Stick, remove the lid plug and insert the tamper through its opening. Angle the tamper in each of the four corners of the jug to push the ingredients into the blades.

Take Your Time

To achieve the best blending results, start at the lowest speed and gradually work your way up to medium and then high. Avoid going straight to high speed as it can damage the motor and result in an uneven texture. Chop your food into smaller pieces before adding it to the blender. Make sure to secure the lid tightly before switching the blender on. Use the removable centre cap for tampering and adding extra ingredients during mixing.

Pulse Button

During tougher blending jobs like nut butter or thick soups, allow the motor a moment to rest. Use the pulse function in short intervals of about 30 seconds to prevent overheating of the machine. Scrape down the sides of the jug with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are being blended properly.

Different Blades

The blender comes with two different blades:

• 8 Blade
• 6 Blade

Use the appropriate blade based on your blending needs.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR BLENDER

HOW TO BEST USE YOUR BLENDER

LOAD AND LAYER YOUR INGREDIENTS CORRECTLY

• Place your softer, high-moisture foods in the blender first. For example, liquids, fresh fruits, and vegetables.

• Place your hard solid foods in last (such as ice, frozen foods, and nuts) last.
  

• DO NOT fill your jug  more than two thirds full

For optimal blending speed and ease, add ingredients to your lender in this order:

1. Liquids
2. Powders
3. Solids
4. Frozen

Combining smoothie ingredients in the wrong order can cause frozen fruit and ice to get caught in the blender’s blades.

• Do not stick any utensils into the blender whilst it is running.
• To use the Tamper remove the lid plug and insert the tamper through its opening. Angle the tamper in each of the four corners of the jug to push the ingredients into the blades.

TAKE YOUR TIME

• To optimise the best blending, start on the lowest speed, work your way up to medium and then high.
• Do not go straight to high speed as this can damage the motor.
• Instantly going at high speed often results in the mixture not being blended to a smooth texture.
•  Chop your food before adding itto the blender.

• Secure the lid tightly before switching the blender on
• Use the removable centre cap toassist with tampering and adding  in extra ingredients during mixing.

PULSE BUTTON

• Use the pulse button to finely grind oats and nuts.

• If you hold the button down, your contents will turn into purée.

• Make sure to ‘Pulse’ in short bursts – A maximum of 30 seconds intervals

• Always allow the motor a moment during tougher blending jobs, such as nut butter or thick soups.
