WARNING:
ENSURE THE LID IS SECURLY INSTLALLED
BEFORE TURNING ON.
WARNING:
DO NOT BLEND HOT LIQUID. DO NOT
OPERATE WITHOUT THIS LID IN PLACE.
ON | OFF
The ON | OFF button powers the unit into
READY mode.
CANCEL button
Cancels any function.
MANUAL FEATURES
Electronic speed control
There are 4 electronic speed buttons from
MIX through to LIQUIFY.MIX combines more
delicate foods with a folding motion, and is
good for combining wet and dry ingredients.
LIQUIFY is the fastest setting, and is ideal for
breaking down ingredients to make cocktails
and other nely blended mixtures.
PULSE
The momentary pulse button is ideal for
processing foods that need sudden bursts
of power. It also encourages ingredients to
move around the jug.
Citrus cone
Before installing the citrus cone, remove the
inner lid. Place the marks on the citrus cone
outer edge in 90° angle from the lid ring.
Turn the citrus cone clockwise until the mark
reaches„BLEND“. If it shows„BLEND“, the
citrus juice will stay in the lid and it will be
a table juicer. If you turn the mark till„JUICE“,
you can blend directly into the blender jug.
To remove the citrus cone, follow the step
in backwards direction.
PRESET PROGRAMS
SMOOTHIE (60 seconds)
This program has been optimised to combine
and aerate frozen and liquid ingredients
together. The SMOOTHIE function has
a unique processing technique that blends
the denser ingredients at lower speed, then
increases in speed as ingredients thicken.
This will happen several times while blending
smoothies. The programming also circulates
the ingredients for maximum aeration and
creamy texture.
AUTO CLEAN (60 seconds)
Use to remove most of the ingredients o the
blender walls and blades. Add 2 cups (500ml)
warm soapy water, and press the clean
button. For harder to clean, sticky or thick
ingredients, add ½ teaspoon of dish liquid
detergent for extra cleaning power.
For best results, clean the blender jug this
way immediately after use.
Soaking can damage the surface of the jug,
especially if citrus has been blended. After
washing in detergent, rinse with plain water
and allow to dry immediately.
If the blender is running and a dierent button
is pressed, the speed will automatically switch
to that program without stopping.
NOTE

CARE & CLEANING
CARE & CLEANING
Jug and lid
In order to keep your jug clean and avoid
food drying on the blades and jug, follow the
below steps as soon as possible after use:
• Rinse most of the ingredients o the jug
and lid.
• Add 500ml of warm water and press the
AUTO CLEAN button. If thick or sticky
ingredients require extra cleaning power
add a few drops of dish liquid detergent.
• Rinse the jug and lid again and/or wash
separately in warm soapy water with
a soft cloth or bottle brush.
• Take care to rinse all detergent o the jug
after cleaning.
• It is most eective to clean the jug
immediately after use.
Citrus
Exposure to citrus oil may aect the clarity
and longevity of the blending jug. After
washing in detergent, rinse with plain water
thoroughly, and allow to dry immediately.
Do not soak.
Motor base
To clean the motor base, wipe with a soft,
damp cloth then dry thoroughly. Wipe any
excess food particles from the power cord.
Cleaning agents
Do not use abrasive scouring pads or
cleaners on either the motor base or the jug,
as they may scratch the surface. Use only
warm soapy water with a soft cloth.
Dishwasher
The blender jug and lid can be washed in the
dishwasher on a standard wash cycle.
Jug can be placed on the bottom shelf,
however the lid and inner measuring cap
should be washed on the top shelf only.
Stubborn food stains and odours
Strong smelling foods such as garlic, sh and
some vegetables such as carrots may leave
an odour or stain on the blender jug and
lid. To remove, soak blender jug and lid for
5 minutes in warm soapy water. Then wash
with a mild detergent and warm water, rinse
well and dry thoroughly. Store jug with the
lid o.
Storage
Store your blender upright with the blender
jug assembled on the motor base, or beside
it. Do not place anything on top. To allow air
to circulate, keep the lid o.

12 TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR BLENDER BL 4010
TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR BLENDER BL 4010
HINTS & TIPS
• If the volume (while blending) is below
the maximum line, the inner measuring
cap can be removed and oils/liquids can
be added while blender is in use.
• Caution should be taken if blending large
volumes or thin liquids, as splashing may
occur through the centre cap area.
• Run the blender only for the appropriate
amount of time required – do not over
blend ingredients.
• Use the PULSE button when food is too
thick or coarse to circulate within the
blender jug.
• Do not exceed the maximum mark
when adding foods and liquids into the
blender.
• Ingredients may stick to the sides of the
blender jug. To push food back onto the
blades, turn the blender o and unplug
at the wall. Use a plastic spatula to scrape
down the sides of the jug, and then
continue blending.
• If any moisture or liquid appears on top
of the motor base during blending, turn
the blender o and unplug at the wall.
Remove the blender jug, and wipe motor
base immediately with a dry cloth or
paper towel.
• To stop blending at any time or during
the SMOOTHIE program, press the
CANCEL button.
• When the blender has been running
for 120 seconds (or 60 seconds for the
smoothie program), it will automatically
turn o. This is a safety feature to protect
the motor.
• A speed or function can be selected
at any time, even while the blender
is running. Press the new speed or
program, and the blender will change
operation immediately.
• The maximum amount of ice cubes that
the blender can process is 8-10 cubes
from a standard ice tray.
DO’S AND DON’TS
THE DO’S
• Use a combination of the blending
speeds and pulse function to suit the
foods being processed.
• Use the SMOOTHIE function to blend
fruits, ice cream and yogurts into thick
smoothies, whips and milkshakes.
• 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 eciently
if the jug is 1/4to 1/2full.
THE DON’TS
• Do not use metal utensils, as they may
damage the blades or blender jug.
• 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 o 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 cups 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 rmly.

14 TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION
Motor doesn’t start
or blade doesn’t
rotate
• Check that the power plug is properly inserted into the
power outlet.
• Check the ON | OFF button and selected function button
is illuminated.
• If all lights are ashing in unison,, refer to the‚blender
overload‘ solutions below.
Food is unevenly
chopped
• This can happen when too much food is being blended at
one time. Try a smaller amount, and work in batches
if necessary.
• The ingredients may be too large. Try cutting into smaller
pieces. For best results, ingredients should be in pieces no
larger than 2cm.
Food is chopped too
ne or is watery
• Try blending for shorter period of time. Use the PULSE
function for better control.
Food sticks to blade
and jug
• The mixture may be too thick. Try adding more liquid and/or
using a slower speed for blending.
Blender overloaded
(all lights ashing)
• This blender has overload protection to prevent damage to
the motor. Unplug and allow the blender to cool down for
15 minutes. Once cooled, you will be able to use the blender
as usual again.
• We recommend blending in smaller batches, or cutting
ingredients into smaller batches.
