BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
· When pureeing solid ingredients, start with small portions in the jug and gradually add more ingredients as they begin to combine.
· When blending liquids into solid ingredients start with a small amount of liquid and gradually add more liquid through the lid opening. However, do not start the blender without the cap as ingredients may be ejected through the hole.
· Always let cooked ingredients cool before blending. All food and liquid should be at room temperature or below.
· For stirring solid or very thick liquid ingredients it is recommended that you use the Pulse function first to avoid overloading the motor.
· Cut all firm, fresh fruits and vegetables into smaller pieces no larger than 1.8cm to 2.5cm for the Blastomatic and personal blending bottles. For the jug, food should be no larger than 4cm to 5cm.
· Ensure all frozen fruits and vegetables are no larger than 1.5cm to 2cm for the Blastomatic and personal blending bottles plus jug.
· When blending dry goods (i.e. making bread crumbs, flours, etc.) ensure the jug is completely dry.
· It is best to begin the blending process at a lower speed and then increase to a higher speed if necessary.
· When crushing ice with no other ingredients, use 2 cups ice max (about 15 cubes). Make sure jug is completely dry before ice crushing.
· It is recommended you use at least 250ml of liquid when using the personal blending or Blastomatic bottle for optimal results.
· Do not overload the jug or bottles. If the motor stalls, turn the device off immediately, unplug the unit and let it cool for at least 20 minutes. Then remove a portion of the food and continue.
· The lid cap holds up to 60ml of liquid and can be used as a measure when adding ingredients such as olive oil, vinegar, milk, etc.
· When using the Pulse function, use short bursts for a maximum of 5 seconds. Allow the blades to stop rotating between pulses.
8

· When ingredients collect on the sides of the jug or the mixture is very thick, turn the appliance off. Wait for the blades to stop rotating. Remove the lid and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the jug, pushing food toward the blades. Replace the lid and continue blending.
CAUTION: Do not insert utensils of any kind into the blender while it is running. · Always place your hand on top of the jug lid/bottle to hold it steady when you are
operating the appliance. · Never fill the Chill Sticks with hot liquids, solids or anything but cool water.
DO NOT PLACE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING IN THE BLENDER:
· Large pieces of frozen food above 1.5cm to 2cm · Tough foods such as raw turnips, raw sweet potatoes and raw potatoes · Bones · Hard salami, pepperoni and hard sausages · Hot/warm ingredients above room temperature
TASKS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THE BLENDER:
· Whipping egg whites · Mixing dough · Mashing potatoes · Grinding meats IMPORTANT · When using the jug the lid MUST ALWAYS be in place before starting the blender. · The motor will automatically stop after 2.5 minutes. To prolong the life of the motor,
it is recommended that you allow the motor to cool down for a further 2.5 minutes before restarting. · Always disconnect the blender from the wall power outlet when not in use.
CARE AND CLEANING
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel. CAUTION: To prevent possible damage to the appliance do not use harsh abrasive or alkaline cleaning agents.
CLEANING THE BLENDER JUG (QUICK CLEAN)
· For a quick clean of the jug, simply half fill the jug with warm water and add a drop or two of dishwashing liquid, fit the lid onto the jug (with the cap in place) and run the motor for 30 seconds. The blender uses its own power to clean both the jug and the blade system.
· Rinse and dry thoroughly.
9

CLEANING THE BLENDER JUG (THOROUGH CLEAN)
· Before cleaning, turn off and disconnect the appliance from the wall power outlet. · Remove the jug from the motor unit. CAUTION: Handle the jug with care when cleaning as the fixed blades are extremely sharp.
· Wash the jug and all other removable parts in hot soapy water. · Rinse well and allow all parts to dry before storing. · Alternatively, the jug, lid and cap may be washed in the dishwasher. IMPORTANT NOTE: DISHWASHERS: To preserve the appearance of the unit it is recommended all removable parts are washed by hand. Alternatively, removable parts may be placed in the dishwasher. Note some dishwashers have a heating element sitting directly below the bottom rack – ensure items are never placed close to or directly above the heating element.
· Place the jug upside-down on the bottom rack, ensuring it is not placed near any heating elements. The lid and cap should be placed on the top-rack only.
CLEANING THE BLASTOMATIC AND PERSONAL BLENDING BOTTLE
· Before cleaning, turn off and disconnect the appliance from the wall power outlet. CAUTION: Handle the sharp blade assembly with care.

dishwasher. Place the bottle on the bottom rack and all other parts on the top-rack only.
