How To Use Your Mistral
Slender Blender TM
Your new Mistral Slender BlenderTM is great for
preparing a variety of food and drinks including
the following:
A variety of mixed drinks.
Chopping fruits and vegetables.
Producing emulsions e.g. mayonnaise,
sauces, baby foods, creams.
Making puree vegetables for soups, baby
foods etc.
Preparing cocktails and shakes.
Note: Always use a high sided mixing
container to avoid spillage while blending.
IMPORTANT
The appliance is designed for short periods of
use, do not keep on for longer than 30 seconds
at a time, rest 5 minutes before next use.
The Slender BlenderTM performs tasks in
seconds – not minutes. Stop blender to check
the consistency during operation, if necessary
restart.
Any time you feel the unit becomes too hot,
stop and allow it to cool.
Tips and Techniques
Move the blender up and down in the mixture
in a circular motion unless a recipe calls for a
specific mixing procedure, as a strong suction
may occur if the blender is left sitting on the
bottom of the container while in operation.
When mixing powdery ingredients with liquid,
turn off the blender about half way through
the mixing time. Scrape down sides of
container and the blending shaft before
mixing again.
Watch the consistency of foods while using
the Slender Blender and check the blade and
the blade housing for clogged food. Turn the
power off and use a rubber scraper to
carefully remove any obstruction.
DO NOT use the Slender BlenderTM in a
container that is still cooking on the stove.
Wash fresh foods and remove (inedible) parts
before using.
Cut firm and fibrous foods into 1cm to 1.5cm
pieces and softer foods into 1.5cm to 2.5cm
pieces.
Most foods require some liquid for effective
circulation through the blades. Soft, juicy
foods may need little liquid, dry foods will
require more liquid. Add liquid in small
amounts until the desired consistency is
obtained.
This product is not intended for continued use.
Care and Cleaning
Be sure that the unit is unplugged before
cleaning.
It is recommended that the Slender BlenderTM
be washed immediately after use.
DO NOT PLACE THE UNIT IN THE
DISHWASHER.
Clean the surface with a warm damp cloth.
Do not immerse the motor end of the unit, the
cord or the plug in water or any other liquid.
It may be necessary to wash the blades in
warm soapy water to thoroughly remove any
food residue. A soft nylon brush may be
helpful. DO NOT use any abrasive cleaners.
