BEFORE THE FIRST USE

• Clean all the parts (F, J, K, L, M, O) with warm water and washing up liquid except for the motor unit (A) which must never be immersed in water or placed under running water (see section Cleaning).
  CAUTION: The blades are extremely sharp; handle them with caution when using or cleaning the appliance.

• Handle the glass jar (F4) with caution when using and cleaning, do not drop it.

• Make sure all the packaging has been removed before operating the appliance.

• Important note: Turn the control knob (E) to(0) before placing the blender jug (F/O) on the motor unit (A).

• Make sure the evacuation hole on the motor block (A) is not blocked by food or other things when using

• The appliance will start only if the blender jug is locked correctly on the motor unit.

• Do not operate the appliance if the lid is not in place.

ASSEMBLING AND FITTING THE JUG

Moisten the seal (F3, O3) (even if already fitted on the blade unit (F1, O1)). Be careful to correctly fit the seal (F3, O3) back onto the blade unit (F1, O1) the correct way up (Fig 17).

• Check the seal is in place on the blade unit.

• Place the blade unit on the locking ring (Fig 1, Fig 7).

• Turn the jug upside down and place the blade unit with a locking ring on the base.

• Make sure the locking ring is locked correctly: the two arrows must be aligned (Fig 3, Fig. 9).

• Add the ingredients to the assembled jug without exceeding the maximum level indicated:

• 1.5 L for thick mixtures

• 1.25 L for liquid preparations
  Warning : Do not pour boiling liquids (over 80°C/176°F) into the jug.

  • Fit the lid (F5, O5) on the jug (Fig. 6, Fig. 12). To avoid any splashes during blending make sure that the curved tabs on the lid are aligned with the spout and handle (Fig. 5, Fig. 11) . Fit the measuring cap (F6, O6) in the hole on the lid (Fig. 8). Then position the bowl on the motor unit and turn it 1/4 turn clockwise (Fig 4 / Fig 10)

USING YOUR BLENDER

• Once the blender jug is locked correctly on the motor unit, plug in the appliance. The lights on the appliance flash twice and you hear a beep. Turn it on using the desired function.

• Speed selection: Turn the control knob (E) to choose the desired speed; the speed increases gradually between min and max. The intensity of the lights on the appliance increases gradually as the speed increases. You can change the speed as required during preparation.

• “Pulse” function: Turn the control knob (E) to the “Pulse” position. Using a succession of pulses gives finer control for precise preparations. In this position, the appliance starts directly on maximum speed. It stops as soon as you release the knob. The light remains on when the pulse function is in use.

• Function “ Smoothie”
  This function is used to prepare smoothies, milkshakes and fruit cocktails. The speed is pre-programmed for best results. To use this function, press the “Smoothie” button (B). The light remains on during this cycle and switches off when the cycle is finished. The program stops automatically and beeps 4 times. You can stop it before the end by pressing the “Smoothie” button (B) again.

• Function “ Ice crush”
  You can use this function to crush ice finely with pre-programmed operating cycles and speed. To use this function, press the “Ice crush” button (C). The light remains on during this cycle and switches off when the cycle is finished. You hear 4 beeps. The program stops automatically but you can stop it before the end by pressing the “Ice crush” button (C) again.

• Function “Auto-clean”:
  This function is used to automatically clean your appliance. Press the “Auto- clean” button (D). Do not exceed 1 liter of hot water (maximum temperature of 80°C / 176°F). At the end of the program, the appliance stops automatically and you hear 4 beeps.

• WARNING : If the load becomes too high, your appliance will stop automatically for safety reasons (if the motor runs for more than 3 minutes or if you have used too many ingredients). To restart your appliance, turn the control knob to(0). The overall cooling time may vary and can be up to 30 minutes. Before restarting your appliance, adapt the number of ingredients or blending time to avoid any overload. You can then select the desired speed or function to complete your preparation.

• WARNING : Do not use the program functions smoothie, ice crush, and auto clean with the herb chopper (K) and spice grinder (L). These programs can only be used with the blender jug (F). Do not perform ice crush with the herb chopper (K) and spice grinder (L).

USING THE HERB CHOPPER (K) AND SPICE GRINDER (L) (DEPENDING ON MODEL)

– With the herb chopper (K) you can chop ingredients like onions, garlic or raw meat (pre-cut into small pieces) in a few seconds. Do not use the herb chopper for liquid preparations (fruit juices, etc.).
– With the spice grinder (L) you can grind spices in a few seconds: coriander seeds, peppercorns, etc.
– These accessories are equipped with a bowl (M) that prevents access to the blades during use.

1. Turn the bowl (M) upside down and add the ingredients.
2. Position the seal (K1 or L1) in its recess on the blade unit (K2 or L2) (Fig. 13). Position the blade unit on the bowl. Lock the accessory by rotating the blade unit until fully assembled (Fig. 14). Caution: leaks can occur if the accessory is not locked correctly.
3. Rotate the assembled accessory (K or L) and position it on the motor unit (Fig. 15).
4. Then turn the assembled accessory (K or L) through a quarter turn clockwise (Fig. 15).
5. Plugin the appliance and turn the Control knob (E) to the desired position or apply a few pulses. To stop the appliance, turn the control knob (E) to position zero.
6. Unlock the accessory by turning it through a quarter turn in the anticlockwise direction. Remove the assembled accessory (K+M or L+M) from the motor unit. Turn it over before opening to avoid any spillage of your preparation. Then you can unlock the blade unit (K1 or L1). The blades are very sharp: handle them with caution to avoid injury. You can then remove the preparation in the bowl.
   Warning: Do not use the accessories for chopping or grinding liquid or grains too hard (ex: hard black beans, sugar …). You can pour liquid ingredients in the blender jug (F) only.

ADVICE

• Depending on the nature of the ingredients, you can use the blender jug to prepare up to

• 1.5 L for thick mixtures.

• 1.25 L for liquid preparations.
  Warning: Do not pour boiling liquids (over 80°C/176°F) in the jug.

  • You can prepare finely blended soups, cream soups, stewed fruit, light batter (pancakes, fritters, Yorkshire pudding batter, etc.), milkshakes, smoothies, cocktails, etc.
  • If ingredients stick to the sides of the jug when blending, stop the appliance. Remove the blender jug from the motor unit, push the food down onto the blades using a spatula and put your blender jug back to continue your preparation.
  • Always pour the liquid ingredients into the blender jug first, before adding the solid ingredients, without exceeding the maximum level.
  • To add ingredients while blending, remove the lid cap (F6, O6) from the lid (F5, O5) and add the ingredients through the feeder hole.
  • For finely crushed ice, use a maximum of 6 small ice cubes (25x25x25 mm maximum) using the “Ice crush” function. There is no need to add water.

RECIPE

Cold carrot soup:
600g carrots + 900g water: Put the water in the blender jug and add the carrot pieces. Mix on max speed for 3 minutes.
Mixed figs (with herb chopper (K+M) depending on model)
100g figs: Cut the figs before placing them in the herb chopper (K+M). Mix on max speed for 3 seconds.

CLEANING

Do not immerse the appliance in water. Never put the motor unit (A) under running water.

• Clean the jug immediately after use.

• Fill up the jug with 1 liter of hot water along with 2 or 3 drops of washing-up liquid. Only use the recommended amount of water and wash up liquid. An excess of washing-up liquid creates more foam and consequently can lead to overflowing.

• Use the automatic auto clean program to carry out a prewash of the jug.

• Once the program has stopped, unplug the appliance.

• Remove the blender jug (F4, O4)

• Place the jug on a flat surface.

• Unlock the lid and remove it with care. Pour out the water.

• Remove the Blade Unit + Locking Ring + Seal (F1 + F2 + F3 / O1 + O2
  +O3) and clean them under running water. The blades are very sharp, handle them with caution to avoid injury (Fig. 10).

• After cleaning, remember to correctly fit the seal (F3, O3) back onto the blade unit (F1, O1) (Fig. 17). Please be careful to avoid any damage to the seal by touching the blades.
  Note: Incorrectly fitting the seal can result in ingredients leaking from the base of the blender jug.

• Rinse the inside of the jug and the lid under running water.

• Take care when cleaning the blades in the blender jug and when you empty the jug as they are sharp.

• Use a damp cloth to clean the motor unit (A). Dry it carefully.

• The detachable parts (lid, blade unit, locking ring,) can be cleaned with a sponge and hot soapy water.

• The jug (F4, O4), blade unit without titanium coating (F1), and locking ring (F2, O2) can be cleaned in the dishwasher on the upper rack – use the ‘ECO’ or ‘LOW SALT’ program.

• Caution: The jug (F4, O4), blade unit without titanium coating (F1), and locking ring (F2, O2) must be disassembled and placed separately in the dishwasher. Please do not put the blades with titanium coating (O1) in the dishwasher.
