PREPARATION
In use, treat the jug and blade unit as a single unit.
1. Sit the motor unit on a stable, level surface.
2. Check that the speed control is set to O.
3. Lower the jug on to the motor unit.
4. Remove the lid.
5. Put the ingredients into the jug. Don’t fill past the 1500 ml mark. If you do, the contents may
force the lid off when you start the motor.
6. Replace the lid. Don’t operate the appliance without fitting the lid.
7. Put the plug into the power socket.
8. Turn the speed control to the speed you want (1 = low, 2 = high).
9. Turn the speed control back to O to turn the motor off.
• Generally, large quantities, thick mixes, and a high ratio of solids to liquids require longer
timings and slower speeds.
• Smaller quantities, thinner mixes, and more liquids than solids require shorter timings and
higher speeds.
• Turning the speed control anti-clockwise to
Y
will give you a short burst at high speed. In
this direction, the knob is spring-loaded. When you let go, it’ll return to O.
• To add ingredients while the blender is working, remove the cap, pour the new ingredients
through the hole, then replace the cap.
• Check that the added ingredients don’t increase the volume in the jug past the 1500ml mark.
When you have finished:
1. Switch the appliance off (O) and unplug it.
2. Lift the jug off the motor unit.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Switch the appliance off (O) and unplug it.
2. Wipe the outside of the motor unit with a clean damp cloth.
3. Hand wash the removable parts.
`
You may wash these parts in the dishwasher.
If you use a dishwasher, the harsh environment inside the dishwasher will affect the surface
finishes. The damage should be cosmetic only, and should not affect the operation of the
appliance.
BLADE UNIT
You may wish to remove the blade unit for cleaning.
1. Remove the lid.
2. Sit the jug upside down.
3. Unscrew the blade unit and lift it off.
4. Handle only the plastic – don’t touch the metal parts.
5. Wash the blade unit in warm soapy water, rinse, and air dry.
6. Replace the blade unit onto the bottom of the jug.
7. Screw the blade unit firmly onto the bottom of the jug.
