BEFORE FIRST USE
CAUTION: Handle blades carefully.
• Remove all packaging material and any stickers from the product.
• As some parts may be packed separately, check to ensure all items have been unpacked
before disposing of the packaging.
• Dismantle and clean all parts as instructed in the “CARE AND CLEANING” section of this
manual.
PREPARE THE BLENDER JUG FOR USE
NOTE: Prior to use, the blender jug should be dismantled and washed as instructed in
the “CARE AND CLEANING” section of this manual. Following cleaning:
• With the lid removed, turn the blending jug upside down and place flat on a counter top
or work surface.
CAUTION: Handle the sharp blade assembly with care.
• Place the blade assembly onto the bottom opening of the jug with the blades to the inside
of the jug.
• Place the jug base over the blade assembly and screw the base clockwise until it is tight.
•
Turn assembled jug right side up.
•
Uncoil the power cord from the storage area under the motor unit.
•
Sit the motor unit on a stable, level, dry surface.
NOTE: The jug can be placed in a number of positions on the base.
•
Place the assembled jug onto the motor unit, ensuring it is correctly seated with the tabs
under the jug assembly aligned with the recesses in the motor unit.
CAUTION – Do not place hot ingredients into the jug. For your own safety we
recommend you do not process ingredients above 40°C. Do not fill past the 1250mL
mark. If you do, the contents may force the lid off when the motor starts.
•
Place foods to be blended into the jug, solids first, then liquids.
•
Place the lid on the blender jug and press it down firmly.
•
Insert the measuring cap into the opening of the lid by aligning the cap tabs with the
notches in the lid opening. Rotate the cap in a clockwise direction to lock it in place.
NOTE: Do not run the blender without the cap as ingredients may be ejected through
the hole.
•
Plug the cord into a wall power outlet and switch the outlet on.
•
Press the Power on/off button. The blue power LED will glow steadily to signify the
blender is in standby mode (the blender will power-off in 60 seconds if no buttons are
pressed).
CAUTION: Hold the lid!
•
Before starting the motor, place and leave your hand on the blender lid to prevent the
possibility of the lid being dislodged by the sudden movement of ingredients when the
motor starts.
