SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Filler Cap

2. Lid

3. Lid Washer

4. Jar

5. Sealing Ring

6. Jar Base

A. Jar Base

B. Blade Assembly

7. Power Unit

8. Speed Control

Using your Viking blender

Your Viking blender has two speeds and a pulse position.

Use speed 1 for lighter blending eg. batters, milk shakes, scrambled eggs and speed 2 for heavier mixes eg. soups, pates and mayonnaise. Turn to the pulse position when a quick burst of power is required. The pulse will operate for as long as it is held in position.

Processing Dry Ingredients eg. making breadcrumbs, chopping nuts, etc.

Remove the filler cap from the lid and cut the food into pieces to drop through the hole.

Switch on the appliance and drop the food onto the revolving blades. Wait for each piece to be processed before dropping the next, keeping your hand over the opening meantime.

When no more can be processed empty the goblet and start again. Do not load dry ingredients into the blender before switching on.

Blending Liquids eg. soup, batters, sauces, etc.

Fill the jar no more than 3/4 full, make sure the lid is securely fitted. Switch on for 15-45 seconds.

Purées

Soft fruits e.g. strawberries, tomatoes and cooked hard fruit can be blended without water.

Half fill the jar and switch on. Stop the machine to scrape the mixture back onto the blades as necessary.

Blending Thicker Mixtures e.g. spreads, pates, dips etc.

Half fill the jar and switch on. Stop the machine to scrape the mixture back onto the blades as necessary. If the mixture is very difficult to process, add a little more liquid.

Mayonnaise

When making mayonnaise, place all the ingredients with the exception of the oil into the blender. Remove the filler cap and with the motor running gradually add the oil in a steady stream.

IMPORTANT NOTE

If blending hot liquids, remove filler cap in lid. Place a folded kitchen towel over the lid when blending and only use speed

1. The towel will prevent hot liquids from emerging through the center hole. Please use EXTREME caution while blending hot liquids as not to burn yourself. You can ensure long life for your blender by switching off promptly especially when using dry ingredients. The blender runs at such high speeds that all foods are processed within one minute. Prolonged running or repeated use should be avoided especially when processing dry ingredients or small quantities. When switching off wait until the blades have stopped revolving before removing the blender. The blender is not suitable as a storage container, therefore ingredients should not be left to stand in the jar before processing and should be removed immediately afterwards. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

CLEANING

The blender should be disassembled before cleaning. Wash the jar, lid, filler cap, sealing ring and base in hot soapy water, then dry thoroughly. Brush the blades clean under the tap taking care to keep the underneath dry, then leave to air dry.

Take care as the blades are sharp. Do not leave the base to soak in water, and do not leave the base soaking with water in the jar. Jar and lid are dishwasher safe but blade assembly should not be put in the dishwasher. Use lemon juice for cleaning spots on the blade assembly.

SERVICE

If the cord is damaged it must, for safety reasons, be replaced by Viking Range Corporation or an authorized Viking repairer.

Contact the dealer from whom you purchased your appliance.
