Instruction manual

20 The cap fits into the hole in the lid. Generally, use the cap if you’re using the smoothie

maker as a blender, use the stirrer if you’re making drinks or smoothies.

21 If you’re making mayonnaise, you can fit the cap upside down, and drizzle oil into the

mix through the small hole in the cap.

The stirrer

22 If you’re making drinks or smoothies, instead of fitting the cap, drop the long end of the

stirrer into the hole.

23 If solid ingredients aren’t getting down to the blades, give them a poke with the stirrer to

chivvy them along.

24 Rolling the stirrer anti-clockwise (the opposite way to the blades), against the jug wall,

will help with thicker mixtures.

25 Don’t bash it against the wall of the jug.

26 Don’t run the smoothie maker without fitting either the cap or the stirrer, otherwise solid

ingredients may be ejected through the hole when they hit the blades.

The controls

27 The controls are:

!!!top button – low speed, for lighter jobs, using mainly liquid ingredients. If you’re using

the tap to dispense really thick smoothies, running the motor on low speed will help

the flow.

bottom button – high speed, for heavier jobs, using mainly solid ingredients You can

swap directly between □ and pressing either button cancels the other.

middle button – this button is spring-loaded, it has two functions: it returns both □ and

buttons to “off”, and switches the motor off it also acts as a pulse button – press to run

the motor, let go to stop.

Use the button, for instance, to reduce ice to slush, for icy drinks.

Use it in bursts – press, let go, check the results, repeat, till you’ve reached the degree

of slushiness you want.

28 Don’t run the motor for more than three minutes at a time, then leave it for a minute to

cool down before using it again.

Adding ingredients

29 To add ingredients while the smoothie maker is working:

cap - lift the cap off, pour/drop the new ingredients through the hole, then replace the

cap in the hole

stirrer - lift the stirrer out of the hole, scrape it against the side of the hole on the way

out, to remove drips, then pour/drop the new ingredients through the hole, and replace

the stirrer in the hole.

30 Check that the added ingredients don’t push the volume in the jug past the 1.7l mark.
