To ensure your blender has a long life, do not run it for longer than 60 seconds. Stop the blender and allow to cool for 2 minutes between blending cycles.
Switch the blender off as soon as you get to the right consistency.

IMPORTANT you must always fit the lid before you can use the blender.
Always switch the blender off at the socket before removing or scraping inside the food jug.
When blending thick mixtures, e.g. pâté and dips, you may need to scrape down the inside of the food jug. If the mixture is difficult to blend add a bit more liquid.
NEVER switch the blender on if the food jug is empty. The bearing on the cutter may be damaged.
For the best circulation of the food that you are going to blend with liquids, pour the liquids into the jug first then add the solid items.
There are some tasks that the blender cannot do: these are: beating egg whites, whipping cream, mashing potatoes, grinding meats, mixing doughs and extracting juice from fruit or vegetables.
There are some items that should never be placed in the blender: these are: dried spices, herbs (when ground alone), bones, large pieces of solidly frozen food. GEORGE GJB401SS-20 Blender.indd
