Grinding Instructions & Tips
Wash Before 1st Use: Take some warm soapy water in the jar so that the blade is completely immersed and close it with the lid. Fix the jar in the main unit and run it for a minute. Then pour out the soapy water and fill it with clean water and repeat this process until any trace of soap is removed.
Dry Grinding (Roasted Cereals, Raw Rice, Dal, Powders):
- Ensure Blade, Jar, Lid, and ingredients are totally dry.
- Run on speeds 1, 2, and 3.
- If you need finer powder, wait for 1 minute and grind again for 1 to 2 minutes.
Wet Grinding (Idli, Dosa, Uthappam, Appam, Pesarattu, Vadai):
- Soak Rice/Dal for 4 to 5 hours or as required.
- Drain water from ingredients.
- Run on speeds 1, 2, and 3 by adding water gradually when required.
- If material sticks to the sides of the jar, stop and stir using a spatula, then run again.
- Ensure free circulation by adding enough water.
- Do not allow batter to get heated up.
- Do not add too much water where a thick paste is required.
- Grind twice if the quantity is more.
Note: While wet grinding tough batter, air bubbles may enter the paste. This can result in the blade rotating freely and an increase in noise. If so, stop, stir the paste, and restart.
Chutney (Coconut, Tomato, Onion, Coriander, Mint):
- Pulse 5 to 7 times to powder ingredients.
- Then add water as required.
- Grind on speeds 1, 2, and 3.
Overload Protector (OLP)
If the mixer grinder is overloaded and the appliance stops during operation, the OLP indicator changes color from 'Orange' to 'Red'.
Steps to Reset:
- First, switch OFF the Mixer Grinder and unplug the power cord.
- Remove some material that is being ground from the Jar to decrease the load.
- Wait for 3 - 5 minutes.
- Lift the Unit and press the RED KNOB projecting out of the Bottom plate.
- Re-start the Mixer Grinder.
Cleaning Instructions
Cleaning the Mixer Grinder Body and Top Cap:
Clean Body and Top Cap with a damp cloth and wipe dry.
Do not use abrasives or water for cleaning.
Cleaning the Stainless Steel Jars and Blades:
1. Fill in 1½ litre of water and a teaspoon of any mild cleaning powder.
2. Run the Mixer Grinder on Speed 1 for 30 seconds, leaving the Blade fixed to the Spindle of the Stainless Steel Jar.
3. Rinse and dry.
4. Always store Jars in an inverted position to allow water to drain off.
