Note: When using your blender for the first time, you may notice an odour coming from the motor. This is normal and will dissipate with use. General Tips Place the blender jug on a suitable, stable, dry, and clean working surface. (see: ›Safeguards for Daily Operation‹). Always wipe off spilled liquids immediately. Never let any liquids run into the motorblock or underneath it to avoid electric shock. When liquids are spilled on the motor housing, immediately unplug the appliance and dry 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 Pro 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 the Blend function for drink or cocktail making and emulsions such as mayonnaise, dressings, marinades and foods that require mixing until just combined, such as batters, also for pureeing and airing liquids. • Use a combination of Blend and Ice Auto Pulse functions to suit the foods being processed. • Use the Smoothie function to blend fruits, ice cream and yoghurts into thick smoothies, whips and milkshakes. • Use Ice Auto Pulse function for foods that only require short bursts of power such as chopping nuts or ice crushing, when blending drinks containing ice cubes or frozen fruit. • 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 before solid ingredients, 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 1½ cups of ingredients through the opening in the lid if desired. • Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if the blender is ¼ to ½ full. 51
