BLENDER SAFETY
Motor horsepower for the blender motor was measured using a dynamometer, a machine
that laboratories routinely use to measure the mechanical power of motors. Our 3.5 peak
horsepower (HP) motor reference reflects the horsepower output of the motor itself
and not the Blender’s horsepower output in the blender jar. As with any blender, the
power output in the jar is not the same as the horsepower of the motor itself. This motor
delivers 2.61 peak HP to the jar, enabling your Blender to deliver robust power for all
your recipes.

USING THE BLENDER
BLENDER FUNCTION GUIDE
The Blender features Variable Speed and Pulse functions that allow you to customise
your blending for any recipe you make.
You might find that not all recipes are exactly the same, and sometimes a recipe might
blend more to your preference on a speed that is not obvious. For example, when making
a smoothie, you may prefer the finer texture that a higher speed creates. We encourage
you to experiment to find the best speed for your favourite recipes.

Before first use
Before using your Blender for the first
time, wipe the blender base with a warm
damp cloth, then wipe clean with a
damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. Wash
the blender jar, lid, Flex Edge tamper,

sudsy water (see the “Care and cleaning”
section). Rinse parts and wipe dry.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into an earthed outlet.

Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these
instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
1
Before using the Blender, be sure
the countertop beneath the Blender
and surrounding areas are dry and
clean. Then, plug the Blender into
an earthed outlet.
2
The main power switch is on the back
of the blender base. Flip the POWER
switch to I (on). The status indicator
light above the start toggle button
will begin to flash, indicating that
the Blender is in Standby mode. The
Blender is now ready to operate.

Utilise the Flex Edge tamper
accessory as needed for optimal
blending performance. Remove
the ingredient-measuring cap only,
and leave the lid in place. Stir or
press contents down towards the
blade. When you are finished, replace
the ingredient-measuring cap on
the blender jar lid before resuming
blending.
6
If desired, use the Pulse function
for a momentary boost of speed
while blending on the variable
speed settings.
PRESS AND HOLD the (Pulse)
toggle switch up for a faster pulse, or
down for a slower pulse.
7
After blending, flip the (Start/Stop)
toggle switch up or down. Allow the
Blender to come to a complete stop
before removing the lid and pouring
your blended ingredients.
NOTE: The Pulse function may
also be used on its own as a separate
blending function while the Blender is
in Standby mode.

CARE AND CLEANING
1
To clean the blender base and cord:
Unplug the Blender before cleaning.
Wipe the base and the cord with a
warm, damp cloth; wipe clean with a
damp cloth, and dry with a soft cloth.
2
Make sure to clean the blender jar,
lid, and ingredient-measuring cap
after each use. Remove any remaining
contents from the blender jar using
a spatula and pre-rinse it with hot
water. Fill jar with 700 mL of hot
water and add 3-4 drops of liquid
dish detergent. Place the lid on
the blender jar, and make sure the
blender jar is fully in place on the
blender base.
CLEANING THE BLENDER AND ACCESSORIES
Clean the Blender thoroughly after every use.
NOTE: To avoid damaging the Blender, do not immerse the blender base or cord in
water. To avoid scratching the Blender, do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

CARE AND CLEANING
3
Rotate the control dial to the Clean
programme. Flip the (Start/Stop)
toggle switch up or down. When the
programme finishes, pour out the
soapy water, and rinse the blender jar
with warm water. If any haze remains,
clean with a soft cloth or sponge. For
cleaning after some recipes (hummus,
nut butters) it might be necessary to
repeat these steps.
4
The blender jar, lid, Flex Edge tamper,
and ingredient-measuring cap are
dishwasher safe; the Flex Edge
tamper, lid, and ingredient-measuring
cap should be placed in the top rack
of the dishwasher. If preferred, all
parts may also be washed by hand
with a damp cloth and warm soapy
water, and then rinsed with warm
water and dried with a soft cloth.
NOTE: The handle grip can remain
on the handle of the blender jar during
cleaning and dishwasher cycles. If needed,
the handle grip can be removed to run
through the dishwasher separately and
then reattached.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into an earthed outlet.
Do not remove earth prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these
instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
1. When the Blender is plugged in
and the I/O (main power On/Off)
toggle switch is set to I (on), the
Blender will go into Standby mode
(flashing white indicator light). However,
after 10 minutes of no activity the
Blender will go into Sleep mode and
the indicator light will turn off.
• To wake up the Blender, simply flip
the (Start/Stop) toggle switch up
or down. This will put the Blender
back into Standby mode.
2. If the status indicator light flashes
an orange colour, the Blender is in
error mode. This can be caused by
using a spatula in the blender jar that
locks up the blade or having an ice
cube or hard food in a location that
locks up the blade.
• Correct the problem by turning off
the Blender using the main power
switch in the back, or by unplugging
the Blender. Remove the blender jar
from the base, and clear the items.
Place the blender jar back on the
base, and then turn the Blender
back on to continue regular use.
3. If the Blender stops while blending:
• After 6 minutes of run time, the
Blender will automatically shut off
and go into Sleep mode, and the
LED light will turn off. You can wake
the Blender back up using the
toggle switches (Start/Stop) or
(Pulse High/Pulse Low). If the Blender
stops in less than 6 minutes, it is
possible there is an internal error with
the Blender. Contact an authorised
service centre for assistance.
4. If the ingredients of a recipe aren’t
blending:
• There may be times when an air
pocket is created around the blade,
causing the ingredients to miss the
blending blade. Use your Flex Edge
tamper to assist during the blend by
pushing ingredients into the blade,
or stir to move ingredients around
the blender jar. If that does not work,
stop the Blender, remove the blender
jar from the base, and use a spatula
to rearrange ingredients in the
blender jar. For certain recipes,
try adding more liquid.
5. If you experience an overflow from
the blender jar:
• Unplug the Blender. Remove the
jar and jar pad. Clean the blender
housing, jar pad, and exterior
of the jar. Dry each part thoroughly,
and then reinstall the jar pad.
• If the overflow is on or over the
control dial, it can be removed
by gently and firmly pulling it off.
After cleaning and drying, reinstall
the knob. To avoid damage to the
graphics, do not apply too much
force or use abrasive cleansers.
If the problem cannot be corrected, see
the “Warranty and service” section. Do not
return the Blender to the retailer; retailers
do not provide service.
