Using the appliance
Measuring cup (G)
You can use the measuring cup to measure ingredients or to prepare mayonnaise.
™
The oil should be added very slowly to obtain the right consistency. Run the blender
at a low speed when preparing mayonnaise.
Blender
The blender can be used for pureeing very finely and for blending. It can be used for
preparing soups, sauces, milkshakes, vegetables, fruits, thin batters etc.
Preparing the blender for use
1 Assemble the sealing ring (E) on the blade unit (D) (fig. 1).
2 Screw the blade unit anticlockwise onto the bottom of the blender jar (C)
until the blade unit is fixed properly (fig. 2).
3 Mount the blender jar, with the blade unit attached onto the motor unit (A)
and fix it by turning it clockwise until you hear a 'click' .The blender jar can
be mounted in two positions (fig. 3 and fig. 4).
4 Make sure that the appliance is plugged in.
How to use the blender
1 Put the ingredients into the blender jar.
2 Place the lid on the blender jar.
3 Close the lid by pushing it down and turning the lid clockwise until you hear
a 'click' (fig. 5).
4 Insert the measuring cup into the opening in the lid.
5 Turn the control knob to speed 1 or 2.
Turn the control knob to 'pulse' position if you want to process ingredients very
briefly.
6 Do not let the appliance run for more than 3 minutes at a time.
If you have not finished processing after 3 minutes, switch the appliance off for one
minute before you let it run again.
If you want to add ingredients while the appliance is running, remove the measuring
cup and add the ingredients through the opening in the lid.
7 If you are not satisfied with the result:
switch the appliance off and turn the control knob to pulse position a few times to
let the blender run briefly, or switch the appliance off and
stir the ingredients with a spatula, or switch the appliance off and pour out some of
the contents of the jar and process a smaller amount, or add more liquid and
continue processing.

24x35x25mm) in the blender jar and turn the control knob to pulse position a
few times.
- Cut meat or other solid ingredients into smaller pieces before putting them in
the blender jar.
- Do not process a large quantity of solid ingredients at the same time.To get
good results, we advise you to process these ingredients in a series of small
batches.
- To make tomato juice, cut the tomatoes in four and drop the pieces through
the opening in the lid onto the rotating blades.
Filter (Only types HR1724 and HR1727)

or 150g of fruit in the filter at the same time.
Preparing the filter for use
1 Mount the blender jar, with the blade unit attached onto the motor unit (A)
and fix it by turning it clockwise until you hear a 'click'.The blender jar can be
mounted in two positions (fig. 3 and fig. 4).

appliance and let it run for a few more seconds.
Note: when you are processing a large quantity, we advise you not to put all the
ingredients in the filter at the same time. Start processing a small quantity and let the
appliance run for a few seconds.Then switch the appliance off and add another small
quantity, but do not exceed the top of the sieve mesh. Repeat this procedure until
you have processed all the ingredients. Always keep the lid on the blender jar during
processing.
