the motor housing to avoid risk of electric shock or fire. Do not attempt to operate the
appliance, when liquids are on or in the motor housing.
WARNING: If the blade is mounted in the blender jug, the blender jug is positioned on
the motorblock, and the plug is connected to the power outlet, do not insert your fingers, a
wooden or plastic spoon or similar cooking utensils or foreign substances in the blender
jug. Always turn the appliance ´Off` and wait for the motor to stop before taking the
blender jug off the motorblock, removing the lid, checking the food, pushing the food
down with a spoon or filling in more ingredients. Use cutlery made of wood, rubber
or plastic only. Never use force when trying to push the food down or trying to remove
food that blocks the blade.
The Design Mixer Advanced can not replace all of your kitchen appliances. The mixer
can not be used for: beating the white of eggs or juicing fruits and vegetable. Also
it is not possible to use it for stirring very firm batter or dough or for chopping very
hard ingredients such as nuts with shell, bones or alike.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave any food dry on the surfaces of the appliance. Always
clean the appliance right after use (see ´Care and Cleaning`).
Tips for operation
• Use Low speeds (1-3 – Mix, Chop and Blend) for drink or cocktail making and
emulsions such as mayonnaise, dressings, marinades and foods that require mixing
until just combined, such as batters.
• Use High speeds (4-5 – Puree and Liquify) for pureeing soups and aerating liquids.
Use ‘PULSE’ for foods that only require short bursts of power such as chopping nuts
or ice crushing. The maximum amount of ice cubes the blender can blend at any one
time is 1 standard ice try or 250g.
• Use ‘BLEND’ for drink making using both liquid and solid ingredients.
• Ensure all foods are cut into cubes (approx. 2-3cm squares) where appropriate to
achieve an even result.
• IMPORTANT: Do not overload the motor with food that is oversized or too hard.
Turn the appliance ´Off` as soon as the motor stalls or stucks to avoid overheating
of the motor (see ´Trouble shooting`). Fill liquid ingredients into the blender jug first
unless it is described different in the recipe. Prepare your food before you fill it into
the blender jug. Do not overfill the blender jug.
• 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 11/2 cups of ingredients through the opening in the lid if desired.
• Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if the blender is 1/4 to 1/2 full.
• When using several ingredients, place liquid ingredients in the blender jug before
solid ingredients, unless specified in the recipe.
• When blending thick or dry mixtures it may be necessary to stop the blender and
