USING YOUR APPLIANCE
■Before first use, wash the blender jar, lid, and lid stopper in warm soapy
water. Rinse and dry carefully. Never immerse the base of the appliance
in water or put it under running water.
■The blender jar is made of borosilicate glass, which is thermal-shock and
scratch resistant. As a result, both hot and cold foods can be prepared in
the blender jar. However, when blending hot foods,
always ensure that the lid stopper is loosened to allow steam to
escape. Always double-check that the lid is correctly locked in place be-
fore processing to prevent injury, and allow boiling hot
liquids to cool before blending. Temperature should not exceed 212°F

carrier (d2) (diagram 1).
■Press the assembly (d2 + d3) down into the locking ring base (d1).
It will click into place.
■Hold this assembly upside down (locking ring base + blade
assembly + seal) and place it onto the glass jar, which has to be held
upside down too (diagram 2). Take care to ensure that the glass
knobs of the jar (there are two of them) fit into the grooves in the locking
ring base (diagram 2).
■Hold the locking ring base (d1) firmly and give the glass jar a
quarter turn to lock it in place (diagram 2). For your safety, the set-
ting up and dismantling of the base (d2 + d3) on the bowl (d4) are
possible only in the inverted position.
■Place the assembled blender jar (D) onto the metal base (A). There
are two possible positions: the jar handle can be in the left or right of
the control panel (B). For your own safety, the blender will not start un-
less it is correctly assembled and positioned on the metal base.
■Place the ingredients to be blended in the jar. Take note of the
following maximum levels:
- 60 oz for thick mixtures
- 50 oz for very liquid mixtures
- 6 to 8 large (1/3L or 3 cups max) ice cubes for ice crush.
■Insert the lid stopper in the lid. Place the lid on the jar and twist coun-
ter-clockwise to lock the lid in place (diagram 3).
■Plug in the appliance. To begin blending, choose a function or speed.
To stop blending at any time, press OFF.
Blending speed options are Slow – 1 – 2 – 3 – 4. (Slow is the lowest speed,
4 is the highest speed).
Start on Slow (b2) and then gradually increase to the desired speed. The
selected speed button will light up. To stop processing at any time,
press OFF (the indicator light for the speed selected will go out).
OTE: The Slow speed can also be used to mix in
solid ingredients that you do not wish to process,
such as adding chocolate chips or nuts after blending
a batter.

VARI-PULSE FU CTIO
The Vari-Pulse function allows for more precise control over the
