Operating Instructions

The Preethi Eco Twin Mixer Grinder is equipped with a powerful 550-watt motor and a three-speed rotary switch with a pulse function.

General Operation

3. Secure the lid firmly.
4. Plug the mixer grinder into a 110V power outlet.
5. Turn the rotary switch to the desired speed (1, 2, or 3) or use the 'Pulse' function for short bursts.
6. Always hold the lid firmly during operation, especially when grinding tough ingredients or at high speeds.
7. After grinding, turn the switch to '0' (off) and unplug the appliance before removing the jar or lid.

Wet Grinding (e.g., for batters)

• Soak rice and dal separately for 7-8 hours, then drain.
• For the 1.5L jar, you can grind a maximum of 350 grams of soaked rice or 250 grams of soaked dal.
• Add a small amount of water (e.g., 200ml for rice, 100ml for dal) and pulse 3-4 times.
• Run on speed 3 for about 60 seconds for rice or 15 seconds for dal, until a thick paste forms. Stir if necessary.
• Add enough water to ensure free circulation of ingredients.

Dry Grinding (e.g., for spices, coffee beans)

• Ensure the jar and blades are thoroughly dry before dry grinding.
• Add ingredients to the chutney jar (0.5L) for small quantities or the main jar for larger quantities.
• Pulse 5-10 times, then run on speed 3 for 30 seconds. For finer powder, grind for another 30 seconds.
