Operating Instructions
Whether its processing liquids, including juice, frozen mixtures, sauces, soups, purées,
batters, and chopping this is the unit for you.
1. Press the On/Off button so the red light illuminates.
2. Add your ingredients into the container before placing it on the motor base. Always
place liquids and soft foods in the container first, solid items and ice last.
3. Add the lid to the container by firmly pressing it into position, you should feel the suction
as you are putting the lid on. The flaps should be aligned over the spout and the handle.
4. Secure the container onto the base, the base has a peg in each corner that fits into the
corner of the container. Line these up and press the container into the base. You should
hear a click which is the safety catch. The safety catch is engaged when the container is
mounted properly. The safety catch will prevent the blender functioning if not properly
assembled.
5. To activate the blades select your desired setting by pressing the button on the control
pad, this button will illuminate blue when in operation. The automatic functions will
automatically stop at the end of the cycle. The cycle can be interrupted by simply
pressing the button again and this will stop the cycle.
6. If
using the manual functions, start off on the LOW setting before increasing the speed to
MID or HIGH. Remember do not exceed 7 minutes in total, this is to prevent overheating.
7. If the mixture stops circulating, you may have a trapped air bubble. To free this, insert
the tamper through the lid cap and stir for up to 30 seconds. If this does not work, press
the On/Off button to stop the motor. Remove the container from the motor base, and
use a rubber spatula to free the stubborn ingredients away from the blades. Return the
container to the motor base, replace the lid, and continue blending.
8. If you re-blend hot liquids or hot ingredients, use the LOW setting first then increase the
speed if desired, this is because escaping steam and splashes may scald. Ensure the lid
and lid cap are firmly in position and that the ingredients are not above the maximum
level for soup.
