USING THE VACUUM PUMP Applying a vacuum pressure within the blender jug before blending green smoothies and vegetable dips can enhance flavours, change the texture and improves the overall taste experience. We do not recommend using the Vacuum Pump for all blending processes. For example, dairy based mixes taste better with air bubbles. Also, if your food doesn’t have a liquid element – herbs, spices, or nuts, for example - vacuum blending will not have a noticeable impact. 1.
4. Press the POWER Button to turn on the Vacuum Pump. The Vacuum Pump will automatically stop once a vacuum pressure is reached. 5. Remove the Vacuum Pump from the blender lid. 6. Operate blender as per manual. 7. Press the Vacuum Valve to release vacuum pressure from the blender jug for easy removal of the blender lid. 12 The Inner Cap with Vacuum Valve can now be left in the blender lid for any blending tasks, whether it be Vacuum-Blending or Non-Vacuum Blending.
WARNING Always wait until the Vacuum Pump has stopped before turning on the blender. Do not blend any ingredients while the Vacuum Pump is operating, as this could cause damage to the pump.
