Blending after steaming
Caution
• The jar and the lid will become hot after the steaming cycle. Only hold the jar
by the specially designed heat-resistant handle. (Fig. r).
• Always make sure that the lid of the jar is correctly closed and locked in place while
the appliance is in use.
• Always make sure that the jar lid has cooled down after steaming before you
open it to add more ingredients (do not ll the jar past the top edge of the
plastic part of blade unit), or to remove the remaining water from the jar.
• If you have added additional liquids, never put the jar in the steam position, as
the liquid will go through the sieve.
1 From the steaming position, lift the jar by the handle and turn it upside
down (Fig. s). Shake the jar to allow the steamed ingredients to move to the
bottom of the jar where the blending blades are.
2 If needed, remove the jar lid and add additional ingredients for blending
(e.g. water for purees or additional cooked ingredients like rice or pasta).
Place the jar lid back on the jar before you start blending.
3 Place the jar on the main unit with the lid on the top, align the icon on the
jar with the icon on the main unit, and turn the jar clockwise to securely
lock it in place on the main unit (Fig. t). Make sure the handle is on the
right-hand side.
» When the jar is correctly locked in place on the main unit, the icon on
the jar will line up with the icon on the main unit.
4 Push and hold the blending button to start blending until the ingredients are
blended to the consistency of your choice (Fig. u).
Caution
• Do not let the appliance blend for more than 30 seconds at a time. If you have not
nished blending after 30 seconds, release the button to stop blending and wait
a few seconds before you continue. If the main unit becomes hot, let it cool down
for a few minutes before you continue.
5 When you have nished blending, release the blending button (Fig. v).
6 Unplug the appliance.
7 Remove the blade unit. Be careful when you remove the blade unit as it
might be hot. Remove the blended food from the jar. If necessary, use the
spatula included with this appliance.
