What is the difference between the large and small blending shafts?
The large and small blending shafts are designed for different types of ingredients and quantities.
Large blending shaft
The large blending shaft is intended for larger volumes and works well for:
Soups
Smoothies
Purées
Larger batches of sauces
The larger blending shaft helps you blend larger amounts evenly and efficiently.
Small blending shaft
The small blending shaft is designed for more precise tasks where you're working with smaller amounts.
It is especially well suited for:
Aioli
Mayonnaise
Sauces
Emulsions
An emulsion is a mixture of two liquids that don't normally mix with each other, such as oil and water. Mayonnaise and aioli are common examples of emulsions.

Can the plastic containers withstand heat?
Both the measuring cup and the mini chopper are made of Tritan plastic.
Tritan is a durable, BPA-free plastic material designed for food contact that can withstand both hot and cold ingredients.
The containers can withstand temperatures up to 100 °C.
Can I use hot ingredients in the measuring cup?
You can use hot ingredients in the measuring cup, since Tritan plastic can withstand temperatures up to 100 °C.
Examples of hot ingredients:
Soups
Sauces
Warm purées
Always handle the ingredients carefully to avoid splashing while blending.
Can I wash all the removable parts in the dishwasher?
The removable accessories are dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.
To preserve the sharpness of the blades, we recommend:
Hand-washing the blades
Gentle cleaning immediately after use
Thorough drying before storage
Dishwashing can, over time, affect the sharpness of all types of blades and cutting edges.
How do I clean the blending shaft?
The blending shaft is designed to be easy to clean.
The lower part of the blending shaft can be removed, which makes cleaning easier and helps you reach areas where ingredients can collect.
How to clean the blending shaft
Detach the blending shaft from the motor unit.
Disassemble the lower part according to the instructions in the user manual.
Clean the parts with warm water and dish soap.
Dry all parts thoroughly.
Reassemble the blending shaft once the parts are completely dry.
Why has the plastic container changed color?
