Tips
• If the volume (while blending) is below the
maximum line, the inner measuring cap can
be removed and oils/liquids can be added
while blender is in use.
• Run the blender only for the appropriate
amount of time required – do not over blend
ingredients.
• Use the PULSE | ICE CRUSH button when
food is too thick or coarse to circulate within
the blender jug.
• The scraper and frozen dessert tamper
accessories can be used during blending by
removing the inner measuring cap. Always
make sure the main lid stays firmly in place.
• Do not exceed the maximum mark
when adding foods and liquids into
the blender.
• Ingredients may stick to the sides of the
blender jug. To push food back onto the
blades with the main lid on (inner cap
removed), use the scraper provided to
scrape down the sides of the jug, and
continue blending.
• If any moisture or liquid appears on top of
the motor base during blending, turn the
blender off and unplug from the outlet.
Remove the blender jug, and wipe motor base
immediately with a dry cloth or paper towel.
• The maximum amount of ice cubes that the
blender can process is 250g (approx.
1 standard ice tray).
• When the blender has been running for
6 minutes in manual mode, it will
automatically turn off. This is a safety
feature to protect the motor.
• Thicker mixtures puree more efficiently if the
jug is ¼ to ½ full.
• Do not use metal utensils, as they may
damage the blades or blender jug.

• Dates and other dried fruits may vary in
hardness and moisture content. If adding
dried fruits to smoothies, use the tamper for
the first 15-20 seconds of the SMOOTHIE or
GREEN SMOOTHIE setting.
• To make nut milks, add 1-2 cups of raw or
soaked/drained nuts. Process on CHOP
of 15-20 seconds, or until evenly chopped.
Soaked nuts may need the scraper spatula to
assist movement as the blades chop. Once
evenly chopped, add 3-4 cups of purified
water, and process on MILL for 2 minutes.
Strain through a nut milk bag (or muslin /
cheesecloth) over a large bowl or jug.
Close bag and squeeze the pulp in the bag
to extract as much milk as you can.
• To soak or not to soak nuts? This is a personal
preference and you can make nut milks with
unsoaked or soaked almonds. Almonds are a
great source of protein however they contain
a naturally occurring compound that may
prevent our enzymes from digesting the nuts
effectively. Try soaking nuts overnight to help
break down the compound. Always rinse and
drain soaked nuts before use.
• Roasting nuts to make nut butter allows their
natural oils to be released during blending,
and enriches the flavour. Some nuts, such
as almonds and hazelnuts, have a lower
oil content. Add rice bran, macadamia or
coconut oil when blending, if needed.
• Freshly milled whole grain flour does not
keep as long as commercial flours. This is
because the inner layers of the grain contain
rich oils, which can become rancid over time
with exposure to heat and moisture.
Always store your flour in an airtight
container in a cool, dry place. Flour can be
stored in the refrigerator or freezer in warm/
humid climates.
• Corn, soy beans and some other dried
legumes and grains vary in their moisture
content, and may not circulate properly
during milling. Use the scraper spatula
during milling to assist with circulation.
• To remove any food that cannot easily be
scraped out from under the blades, replace lid
and turn blender back on high speed for 4-5
seconds to spin foods out from under blades.
