IMPORTANT: HOT BLENDING INSTRUCTIONS

To minimise the possibility of scalding when blending hot ingredients keep hands and other exposed skin away from the lid to prevent possible burns. The following precautions must be observed:

• CAUTION: Blending very hot ingredients may result in hot liquid and steam being forced suddenly past the lid or filler cap.

• We recommend that hot ingredients are allowed to cool before blending.

• NEVER exceed 1200ml / 5 cups capacity if processing hot liquids, such as soups (refer to the markings on the goblet).

• ALWAYS commence blending at a low speed and gradually increase the speed. NEVER blend hot liquids by using the Pulse setting.

• Liquids that tend to foam such as milk, should be limited to a maximum capacity of 1000ml/4 cups.

• Take care when handling the blender as the goblet and its contents will be very hot.

• Take particular care when removing the lid. The lid is designed to be a tight fit to prevent leakage. If necessary protect your hands with a cloth or oven gloves when handling.

• Ensure the goblet is securely attached to the base and when removing from the appliance, guide the base and ensure it is removed together with the goblet.

• Ensure that the lid and filler cap are securely in place before every blending operation.

• Always ensure that the vents in the filler cap are clear before every blending operation (7).

• When fitting the lid to the goblet always ensure that the lid and goblet rim are clean and dry to ensure a good seal and prevent spillage.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Appliances can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and if they understand the hazards involved.

To use your Blender

2. Fit the blade unit (5) into the base (6).
3. Then screw the goblet onto the base – ensuring the blade base is fully tightened.
4. Put your ingredients into the goblet.
5. Fit the lid by pushing down until secure. (Ensure one of the protrusions on the lid fits over the spout on the goblet.)
6. Place the filler cap into the lid and push down to secure.
7. Remove the high speed outlet cover.
8. Place the blender over the outlet, turn clockwise and at the same time push down until the unit engages. Then turn further clockwise until the attachment locks into position.
9. Switch to the required speed (refer to the recommended usage chart).
10. Once the desired consistency has been achieved, switch off and remove the blender supporting it with both hands.

To use the Stir Stick (KAH359GL only)

Refer to Illustration L

1. Fit the lid to the goblet and remove the filler cap. DO NOT use the stir stick in the goblet without the lid fitted.
2. Insert the stir stick and move it round the goblet slowly whilst the motor is operating.
   • Use the stir stick to help move ingredients around the goblet and prevent clogging during processing.

Hints

• To prevent leaks:
  • wet the sealing ring before fitting it;
  • make sure the goblet is locked firmly into the base.
• When making mayonnaise, put all the ingredients, except the oil, into the blender. Then, with the machine running, remove the filler cap and add the oil slowly and evenly.
• Thick mixtures, e.g. pâté, dips: use low to medium speed, scraping down when necessary. If the mixture is difficult to process, add more liquid and use the stir stick if supplied. Alternatively use the pulse setting to get the ingredients moving over the blades.
• When crushing ice, process small amounts at a time and use the Pulse setting. It is advisable to hold your hand on the lid and filler cap during the operation.

Cleaning
Refer to Illustration N

• Always switch off, unplug and dismantle before cleaning.
• Empty the goblet before unscrewing the base.
