Instructions for Use
A Fitting the Jar & Blade Assembly
Turn the glass jar (A) upside down, and place on a at, dry, sturdy surface.
Position the rubber seal (B) on the round opening on the bottom of the glass jar.
Turn the blade assembly (C) upside down, and place the blade end in the glass jar opening.
TAKE EXTRA CARE WHEN HANDLING BLADES AS THEY ARE VERY SHARP.
Secure the rubber seal and blade assembly into position by placing the smaller opening of the locking collar
(D) on top of the blade assembly. To lock the glass jar into place, twist the locking collar in a clockwise
direction until it will go no further and is secured into place.
N.B. The locking collar is tted with safety interlock switches, which prevent the appliance from working if the
jar unit is not tted correctly. The appliance will not work unless the locking collar is securely tted on to the
glass jar. Once assembled turn the assembled jar unit right side up.

Take care when placing the jar unit on the housing base as incorrect positions may damage the interlock
switches.
