Blender Tips:

• To blend dry ingredients: cut into pieces, remove the filler cap ①, then with the appliance running, drop the pieces one by one. Keep your hand over the opening. For best results, empty regularly.

• When making mayonnaise, put all the ingredients, except the oil, into the blender. Remove the filler cap ①. Then, with the appliance running, add the oil slowly through the hole in the lid ②.
• Thick mixtures, e.g., pâtés and dips, may need scraping down. If the mixture is difficult to process, add more liquid.

Grinding Mill Hints:

• For optimum performance when processing spices, we recommend that you do not process more than 50g at a time in the mill.
• Whole spices retain their flavour for a much longer time than ground spices, so it is best to grind a small quantity fresh at a time to retain the flavour.
• To release the maximum flavour and essential oils, whole spices are best roasted prior to milling.
• Baby food/purees - allow cooked food to cool to room temperature before processing in the mill.

Care and Cleaning

• Empty the goblet before unscrewing it from the blade unit.
