The parts must be cleaned prior to first use.

and place it on a level surface, e.g. on the
kitchen counter.
2 The lid C can be removed from the glass
jug by pushing on it lightly upwards with
your thumb.
3 Turn the measuring cup counter clockwise
as far as it will go and take it upwards out
of the lid opening B.
4 Take the sealing ring D off of the lid. Due
to its flexibility, the sealing ring can be lifted
off with your fingers. Do not use any tools
as this could damage the sealing ring.
5 Now set the glass jug with the opening
facing down on a level surface.
6 Take off the jug base by turning it counter
clockwise until it comes off (see diag.). The

9 Then re-assemble the jug blender in the
reverse order. Set the glass jug with the
opening facing down on a level surface.
10 Lay the cutter unit sealing ring in the middle
on the glass jug.
11 Then insert the cutter unit with the blades
evenly into the opening of the base of the
glass jug (see diag.). Push down a little so that
the sealing ring presses onto the cutter unit.
12 Screw the jug base onto the glass jug by
turning it clockwise (see diag.). Hold the jug
handle F and screw the jug base on tightly.

will go to secure it.
16 Turn the glass jug over and place it upright
onto the motor unit. The white line with arrow
on the base of the jug must be located under

the appliance.
Operation
1 Place the device on an even and dry
surface. The non-slip feet L ensure the
stability of the device.

disconnected from the power supply and
the control dial K is on O before putting
food into the glass jug.
3 Take the glass jug off the motor unit and

quantity is 1.5 l. The filling quantity is
indicated on the glass jug in litres from
0.5-1.5 LTR and in ounces from 20-50 OZ.
Add water to ensure the jug blender
functions smoothly.
The mixing ratio between hard foods and
water is usually 2:3.

in the glass jug. Never let the jug blender
operate while empty (without food). Danger

cup is inside the lid opening and is secured.
6 Connect the power plug to a suitable
power outlet.

with the control dial.

will briefly increase the speed of the blades,
to chop food for example. This is especially
suitable for vegetables or nuts. Depending on
the type of the food you would like to chop,
it is recommended to either begin with a low
speed or to use the turbo function. The turbo
function (position P) should only be used for
a few seconds. As soon as the turbo function
is released, the blender automatically
switches to position 0.
8 If ingredients are to be added during the
blending process, then add them through
the opening in the lid. To do this, take out
the measuring cup.
9 After the desired consistency of the blended
food has been reached, turn the control dial
to 0 to switch off the blender.

The operating time of the jug blender must
not exceed 3 minutes at a time.
10 Pull the power plug out of the power outlet.
