ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any packaging material and
promotional labels. Remove the blending
leg from the mixer motor body and wash
it in warm soapy water (refer to assembly
instructions in this booklet). Rinse and dry

chopper bowl, chopper bowl lid, storage
lid, and blending jug in warm soapy water,
rinse and dry thoroughly. Ensure no water
remains on the chopper bowl lid to avoid
water running into the motor body when
reattached.

bowl, chopping blade, blending jug,
and dual purpose storage lid/anti-
slip mat can also be washed in the
dishwasher. The chopper bowl lid, and
motor body are not dishwasher safe
