Change the speed of the motor by turning the variable speed button (No.2) towards the maximum or minimum as required. With the self-regulating speed system, once you have selected a speed, it will remain constant, even if the consistency of your mixture changes.

Warning: It is strongly advisable to start a low speed when using the variable-speed blender!

WORKING POSITION

Blender function: For better control, we recommend that you hold the blender by the handle and the bottom of the motor unit. Furthermore, we recommend that you tilt the blender at a slight angle to prevent the bell from touching the bottom of the container. Always make sure that the bell is sufficiently immersed to avoid splashing and that the air vents of the motor unit does not come into contact with any liquid. For optimum efficiency, two-thirds of the tube should be immersed in preparation.

Whisk function: You can also hold the appliance by the handle with one hand, leaving the other hand free to hold the bowl, if necessary. While you process the preparation, we recommend that you move the whisk around in the bowl, in order to ensure that the mixture is completely homogeneous. We strongly advise you to keep the whisk from touching the sides of the bowl. For maximum efficiency, at least one-fifth of the whisk length should be immersed. But never immerse the whisk holder into the preparation.

Warning: It is strongly advisable to start at a low speed when using the whisk!
