Useful tips ­ The best results when blending firm ingredients are achieved by placing small portions one after the other into the mixer jug e instead of inserting a single large portion. ­ When processing firm ingredients, cut them into small pieces (2-3 cm). ­ When mixing liquid ingredients begin first of all with a small measure of fluids. Gradually add more fluids to the mixture through the filling cap. ­ The appliance can be stabilised by placing your hand on top of the closed liquidiser during operation. ­ For the stirring of firm or very viscous foodstuffs it can be beneficial to use the impulse-operation, which helps avoid a blocking of the cutters r.
