Functions
GETTING STARTED
ON | OFF
The ON | OFF button powers the unit into
READY mode.
CANCEL button
Cancels any function.
ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
There are 5 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 finely 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.
Count-up timer
The blender timer counts up in seconds as it
blends on one of the 5 electronic speeds from
MIX to LIQUIFY. When using the timer this
way, the blender will stop after 2 minutes,
or you can cancel blending manually.
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.
Pressing the button will activate the program –
press again to deactivate.
ICE CRUSH(60 seconds)
Optimised to crush ice, and also ideal for
processing other foods that need sudden bursts
of power. This program has an intelligent
sensor to stop the motor when the ice is done.
Count-down timer
The blender timer counts down in seconds as
it blends in the SMOOTHIE or ICE CRUSH
programs.
11
AUTO CLEAN
Use to remove most of the ingredients off 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.
NOTE
If the blender is running and a different button
is pressed, the speed will automatically switch
to that program without stopping.
12
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.
• 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 off and unplug at the
wall. Use a plastic spatula to scrape down the
sides of the jug, and continue blending.
• If any moisture or liquid appears on top of
the motor base during blending, turn the
blender off 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, it will automatically turn off.
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 motor will still automatically turn off at
120 seconds total time running time.
• The maximum amount of ice cubes that
the blender can process is 250g (approx.
1 standard ice tray).
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 the ICE CRUSH function.
Thicker mixtures puree more efficiently if
the jug is ¼ to ½ full.
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
off 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. Once
blending has started, you can add another
1 cup slowly by removing the inner lid and
pouring through the hole.
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 are caused by blending hot ingredients,
and it also protects the jug from possible
damage.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION
Motor doesn’t start or
blade doesn’t rotate • Check the blender jug and lid are securely in place.
• Check the ON | OFF button and selected function button is illuminated.
• Check that the power plug is properly inserted into the power outlet.
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 fine
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 flashing) • This blender has overload protection to prevent damage to the motor.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION will flash on the LCD. 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.
15
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 off the jug
and lid.
• 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.
• It is most effective to clean the jug
immediately after use.
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, fish 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 off.
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 off.
