Before first use
• Before using your blender for the first time, remove any packaging material and
promotional labels.
• Be careful when handling the blades as they are extremely sharp.
• Wash the jug, lids, blade assembly and attachments in warm soapy water with a
soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. All parts (except motor base) may be washed
in the dishwasher, on the top shelf.
Functions (Speed)
MOTOR BASE SPEED CONTROL- Many recipes process best with a combination
of speeds with occassional use of pulse.
PULSE- Momentary burst of high power.
CHOP (speed 1) - Low speed to combine more delicate foods with a folding motion,
and is good for combining wet and dry ingredients.
LIQUIFY (speed 2) - High speed is ideal for breaking down ingredients to make ice
based drinks and other finely blended mixtures.
Warning
Hot liquids can erupt during blending. Do not blend hot liquids.
Tip
BLENDING JUG
• Run the blender only for the appropriate amount of time required.
• Do not over blend ingredients.
• Use the PULSE setting when food is too thick or coarse to circulate within the
blender jug.
• Do not exceed the maximum mark.
• If any moisture or liquid appears on top of the motor base during blending,
turn the blender off and unplug at the wall. Remove the blender jug, and wipe
motor base immediately with a dry cloth or paper towel.
• The maximum amount of ice cubes that the blender can process is 8 cubes
from a standard ice tray.
• Use the PULSE function for foods that only require short bursts of power,
such as chopping nuts and crushing ice.
• When blending drinks with ice cubes or frozen fruit, use PULSE in short
bursts.
• Thicker mixtures puree more efficiently if the jar is too full.
• Do not use metal utensils, as they may damage the blades or blender jar.
• Do not blend a heavy mixture for more than 10 seconds. For normal blending
tasks, do not blend longer than 1 minutes at a time. If you need to blend
longer, turn off the blender and stir ingredients before starting again.
• This rest will help protect the motor from wear and tear.
• The blender will not knead dough, or mash potatoes.
• When blending warm ingredients, do not put more than 2 blending bottles at
a time in.
• Do not blend hot or boiling ingredients. Allow food to cool down to a warm
state before placing in the blender. This is to safeguard against sudden bursts
of steam that could cause the lid to dislodge.
• If blending warm ingredients, place a tea towel over the lid and hold down
firmly.
Tip
Overload protection system
• Machine running time can not be more than 2 minutes. After the shutdown, it
is necessary to let it fully heat, cooling to room temperature.
• The MAX line is usually a good indicator to prevent overly heavy loading,
however some especially dense combinations of ingredients may still strain
the motor. If the motor seems to be straining or running slowly, only operate
for 10 seconds at a time, or reduce the amount of ingredients used. Adding
more liquid can also help to loosen dense mixtures.
Note
• Do not process hot foods or liquids in blender.
• Do not store food or liquids in the blender jar.
• Avoid bumping or dropping the blender.
