General Tips for making whole fruit smoothies
The most successful smoothies are made with a
selection of juicy and pulpy fruits (Eg. apples are
pulpy) and too much apple makes a smoothie very
pulpy. The addition of too much water or ice will
reduce the flavour.

VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY TIPS WHEN WORKING WITH HOT LIQUIDS !
If you turn the Saluté on Max speed with the container more than ½ full, the pressure created by the combination of the
hot liquid and the speed of the blades can force the lid off, causing the hot liquid to spill out, creating a mess and the
possibility of accidental burning.
TO AVOID THIS HAZARD. Ensure that the jug contains no more than 3 cups of hot liquid to start. Process on Min speed
and increase the speed to Max. While the blender is running you can add more hot liquid through the rubber lid by
removing the lid plug.
Always use the Saluté on a flat, level, dry surface and the base should be placed at least 8-10 cm from the edge of the
counter.
Always ensure that the container is properly seated in position and that the rubber lid and lid plug are properly fitted and
secured before switching the Saluté on.
If you are processing a large quantity of liquid it is advisable to hold one hand over the lid when switching on, just in case
the lid is not properly secured.
Never remove the jug while the motor is running.
When using the tamper, always have the rubber lid on and hold the handle of the jug firmly.
Always put some water into the jug when crushing ice cubes. Pour the crushed cubes through a colander.
Take note that the Saluté is a high speed blender, therefore the processing time is drastically reduced when compared to
a standard blender.
If you require a burst of Max power press the Pulse switch. (The Pulse switch only operates while being held down
manually)
If you accidentally damage the tamper it is recommended that it be replaced as a damaged tamper can harbour bacteria
and become a health hazard.
Operational Tips
Remove the Blade Assembly for cleaning or!
replacement!
1.
Turn container upside down
2.
Place the wrench (if supplied) into the retainer nut and when it is
snugly fitted, turn the wrench counter-clockwise, while holding
the jug down firmly. Otherwise remove with a screwdriver held
horizontally.
3.
Once the retainer nut is loosened, cover the blade inside the jug
with a cloth (to avoid cutting yourself when removing the blade).
4.
With one hand hold the blade assembly and with the other
remove the retainer nut by hand.
!
To Replace the Blade Assembly
1.
Put the blade assembly through the hole in the bottom of the jug
from the inside of the jug, having first covered it with a cloth.
Place the retainer nut onto the thread of the Blade Assembly
underneath the jug and tighten the retainer nut by hand.
2.
Turn clockwise until tight.
3.
Fit the wrench or screwdriver to the retainer nut and tighten (do
not over tighten as the jug could crack).
NB Do not over tighten the retainer nut as this can cause the jug to
crack.

Troubleshooting Smoothie Making!
If the mixture stops circulating you have an air lock.
Open the lid and push the mixture down with the tamper.
Replace the lid, turn the speed dial to Min and switch on.
Now turn the speed dial to high and use the tamper to push
the mixture into the blades until it starts to circulate.
