LID CAP

Insert into the lid and lock by turning clockwise. This can be removed during processing to
add further ingredients and to use the tamper.

LID

This is pressed into position; to secure, position the flaps over
the spout and the handle, the lid must always be secured

into position before blending. To remove the lid lift up one of
the lid flaps and pull the lid off.

Warning – Do not place hands or fingers inside the blending
container when in operation as this will cause injury and

damage the unit.

CONTAINER

The container has millilitres clearly marked on either side with a
maximum level for blending soup and cold liquids.

TAMPER

The tamper helps to circulate ingredients that are very thick or frozen that cannot be

processed in a regular blender. Using the tamper maintains circulation by preventing
air pockets from forming during blending. Do not use the tamper for more than 30 seconds
at a time.

CONTROL PANEL

Easy to control push button display.
