HINTS AND TIPS

• Always keep coffee beans and ground coffee in an airtight container to preserve the flavour and the aroma of the coffee beans. Coffee tastes best with freshly ground beans, so try not to grind more than you need.
• Ground coffee left in your grinder bowl can become stale and affect the flavour. Be sure to clean the grinding bowl, blades and cover after each use.
• The grinder bowl can only handle dry, brittle foods. DO NOT grind oil seeds (e.g. peanuts) or hard products (e.g. rice).
• Cut ingredients into small even sized pieces, do not try to blend large chunks.
• DO NOT over fill the bowls. This will block the blades. Turn off the appliance and take out some of the food before switching back on.
• DO NOT try to grind or chop frozen ingredients. Allow to thaw and break up into smaller pieces before using.
• If making breadcrumbs or processing herbs make sure the attachments and blades are completely dry.
• Use a spatula to redistribute ingredients in the bowls. NEVER use metal utensils as these may damage the bowl or blade.
• DO NOT over-process – most foods will blend in just a few seconds.
• DO NOT use the appliance for very hard food products, such as bones, shelled nuts, frozen meats etc., as this could damage the blades and cause the motor to seize.
• To remove residue or aromas left behind by nuts, grind one tablespoon of baking soda in the bowl then wipe thoroughly

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Question: The appliance will not switch on.
  Answer: Check the appliance is plugged in and switched on at the socket. The bowl and cover are not locked into the correct position.

• Question: The blades do not appear to be turning.
  Answer: The blades may be jammed or the mixture is too thick to process.
  Switch off the appliance and unplug. Carefully remove the ingredients blocking the blade. You may need to blend in smaller batches.

• Question: My mixture is not blending evenly.
  Answer : The ingredients you are processing may be too big or you are trying to process too large a quantity of ingredients at the same time. Ensure the ingredients are cut into smaller pieces before blending.

• Question: Food is sticking to the side of the bowl.
  Answer: The mixture may be too thick. Switch off the appliance and unplug. Using a plastic spatula carefully scrape the food from the wall of the bowl. More liquid may be required or you may need to ‘Pulse’ in short bursts.
