HELPFUL HINTS
•
The blender has anti-slip feet to help keep it steady on your worktop. For added safety, always keep your
hand on top of the blender lid whenever it is running.
•
When working with dry/solid ingredients, cut them into small pieces and always add some liquid.
•
Let soups, sauces and cooked foods cool to room temperature before blending.
•
For crushed ice, add just a few cubes at a time, with a small amount of water.
•
Solid or thick ingredients may need scraping down from the jug sides with a spatula. Remember to switch
off and unplug the blender first. If the mixture is difficult to process, add a little liquid or select the pulse
feature.
•
To avoid overheating, do not run the blender for more than 1 minute at a time. Let the motor rest for a few
minutes before continuing.
CARE AND CLEANING
•
Wash before first use in hot, soapy water and dry.
•
Always switch off and unplug the blender before cleaning.
•
Remove the lid, then lift the jug off the power unit and empty the contents.
•
Carefully remove the blade unit from the base of the jug by turning it clockwise. Please use caution when
doing this as the blades are very sharp. The jug, lid, filler cap, blade unit and sealing ring can all be washed
in warm, soapy water, or in the dishwasher. Please use a washing-up brush to protect your fingers from
the sharp blades.
•
Rinse all parts thoroughly, and dry.
•
Fit the sealing ring back over the blade unit, then fit the blade unit back into the jug by turning it
anticlockwise until it is thoroughly secured in place.
•
Wipe the power unit with a dry cloth.
•
Do not immerse in water or any other liquid, and do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers as they will
damage the product.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
This appliance is fitted with a fused three-pin plug to BS1363 which is suitable for use in all homes fitted with
sockets to current specifications. If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and
carefully disposed of. To avoid an electric shock, do not insert the discarded plug into a socket.
Fitting a new plug
If for any reason you need to fit a new plug, the flexible mains lead must be connected as shown here. The wires
in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Connect BLUE to Neutral (N)
Connect GREEN & YELLOW to Earth (E)
Connect BROWN to Live (L)
10 amp fuse to be used
If the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance do not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows. The wire which is coloured green and yellow MUST
be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter E (Earth) or coloured green. The wire which is
coloured blue MUST be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N (Neutral) or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown MUST be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L (Live)
or coloured red.
Before refitting the plug cover, check that there are no cut or stray strands of wire inside the plug. Use a 10 amp
BS1362 fuse. Only BSI or ASTA approved fuses should be used. If you are at all unsure which plug or fuse to
use, always refer to a qualified electrician.
Note: after replacing or changing a fuse on a moulded plug which has a fuse cover, the cover must be refitted
to the plug; the appliance must not be used without a fuse cover. If lost, replacement fuse covers can be
obtained from an electrical shop. This appliance complies with the following EEC Directives: 73/23 EEC (Low
Voltage Directive) and 89/336 EEC (EMC Directive).
