Question Answer

What does

‘pulse’ mean?

When you push the pulse switch to PULSE and hold it

in this position, the appliance runs at its highest speed.

As soon as you release the pulse switch, the switch

jumps back to its original position. When the blender

was set to PULSE from the pulse-activation position P,

it stops when you release the pulse switch. When the

blender operated at speed 1 to 4, it starts to run

again at this speed when you release the pulse switch.

The pulse switch gives you more control over the

processing job and is also very useful when you want

to process ingredients very briey.

The pulse

switch does not

work. What

should I do?

Check if the appliance is plugged in and the speed

selector is in pulse-activation position P. You can also

use the pulse switch when the speed selector is set to

a speed between 1 and 4. The pulse switch does not

work when the speed selector is set to the off

position 0 or to speed 5.

What is the

AUTO setting

of the speed

selector for?

When the speed selector is set to AUTO, the

blender automatically speeds up to the maximum

speed within 15 seconds and then keeps running

at the maximum speed.

Can I pour

boiling hot

liquids into the

blender jar?

No, let the liquids or ingredients cool down to

80°C/175°F to avoid damage to the blender jar.

Why does the

motor produce

an unpleasant

smell during

processing?

It is very common for a new appliance to give off an

unpleasant smell or emit some smoke the rst few

times it is used. This phenomenon stops after you have

used the appliance a number of times. The appliance

may also give off an unpleasant smell or emit some

smoke if it has been used too long. In that case, switch

off the appliance and let it cool down for 60 minutes.

ENGLISH10

Question Answer

The appliance

stopped

running because

the blades are

blocked. What

should I do?

Switch off the appliance and unplug it. Then use a

spatula to dislodge the ingredients that block the

blades. If you were processing a large quantity, pour

some of the ingredients out of the blender jar before

you switch on the blender again.
