TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR BLENDER BL 8011
Do
•
Use the function 3 - 4 for drink or cocktail
making, emulsions such as mayonnaise,
dressings, marinades and foods that
require mixing until just combined, such
as batters, also for pureeing soups and
aerating liquids.
• Use a combination of the Blend/
Pulse functions to suit the foods being
processed.
• Use the Smoothie function to blend
fruits, ice cream and yogurts into thick
smoothies, whips and milkshakes.
• Use the Ice Crush function for foods that
only require short bursts of power such
as chopping nuts and crushing ice.
• Use the Ice Crush function with short
bursts of power, when blending drinks
containing ice cubes or frozen fruit.
• Ensure all foods are cut into cubes
(approx. 2cm square) where appropriate
to achieve an even result.
• Do not put more than 2 cups of warm
ingredients into the blender before
blending commences. After the blending
process has begun and the blades are
turning you may slowly add another 1
and ½ cups of ingredients through the
opening in the lid if desired.
• Thick mixtures puree more effi ciently if
the blender is ¼ to ½ full.
• When using several ingredients, place
liquid ingredients in the blender jug
before solid ingredients, unless specify
in the recipe. When blending thick or dry
mixtures it may be necessary to stop the
blender and scrape down the sides of
the blender jug with a plastic or rubber
spatula, once or twice during blending.
Do not
•
Do not use metal utensils as they may
damage the blades or blender jug.
• Do not operate a heavy mixture for more
than 10 seconds. For normal blending
tasks, for example, mayonnaise, dressings
etc., do not operate for longer than 2
minutes at one time without turning off
the blender and stirring the ingredients,
and then continue blending.
• Do not operate the blender without
having the blender lid in position.
To add additional ingredients during
blending, remove the inner lid and place
ingredients through the opening in the
lid.
• Do not place any objects, other than
food or liquid, into the blender while the
motor is running.
• Do not use the blender jug to store food.
• The blender will not knead dough or
mash potatoes.
• Do not remove the blender jug while the
blender is operating. Always make sure
the blender is switched off by pressing
the ‘Power’ button, switch off the
power at the power outlet and unplug
the power cord from the power outlet.
• Do not overload the blender with more
than the specifi ed quantity of ingredients
as doing so could cause the motor to
stall. Once the icon stops fl ashing the
blender has now cooled down and you
will be able to use the blender as per
instructions. At this point the blender
will be in standby mode and you will
only need to press the function/button
that you require to start blending again.
However if you have turned the blender
off you will need to switch it back on
and only if the icon has stop fl ashing
commence blending as usual.

into the blender; allow to cool before
placing into the blender jug.
