4. ADVICE FROM THE CHEFS

• Never immerse the motor housing in water or any other liquid.
• The base of the blender should never be fully immersed, leave a
space of approximately 2.5 cm below the motor housing.
• When using the blender on a non-stick surface, take care not to
damage the coating with the blender.
• Cut most solid foods into 2.5cm cubes to blend them easily.
• You can also pour liquid ingredients into the measuring jug.
• To avoid splashes, make sure the base of the shaft is always
immersed when the unit is running.
• Never leave the hand blender in a pot on a hot hob.
• Never include pieces of hard fruit, bone or any other hard matter
in your ingredients to be blended. These could damage the
blades
• The level of the preparation will increase when blended, so the
amount of liquid used should be adjusted.
• The addition of hot liquids speeds up the mixing process of
solids and liquids.
• For recipes that call for ice, use crushed ice for best results.
• Gently move the blender up and down to mix and blend the
ingredients evenly.
• The blender can also be used to make milk froth for your
cappuccino or latte.
• Also use the blender to prepare your gravies and sauces.

celery's hard fi bres using a peeler before blending.
