flame, ovens, heaters, stoves, etc.) and/or in an explosive environment (in the
presence of flammable substances such as gas, vapour, mist or dust, in
atmospheric conditions when, after ignition, the combustion is spread in the air).
Items containing these substances should never be placed in the appliance, and
never be used to clean the appliance to avert the risk of fire or explosion.
11. Place the appliance at a proper distance from the objects or surrounding walls

Operation
14. If you are using the appliance for the first time, you should:
a. Clean the exterior of the Motor Unit with a damp cloth. Use a little detergent,
if necessary, and wipe dry. The Motor Unit may NOT be immersed in water.
Wash the Plug, Lid, Blender Jug, Filter, Blender Blade assembly, Grinder
Blade assembly, Smart Cup / Grinder Cup and their lids, Sports Cups and
utensils you wish to use with water & detergent with a non-abrasive sponge.
DO NOT use metal scouring pads nor use solvents like paint thinners or
acetone. Dry the accessories thoroughly.
Notice: you should NOT use a dishwasher to clean the appliance.
b. Place the Motor unit on a flat, dry surface. Assemble the Plug, Lid, Blender
Jug, Filter, Blender Blade assembly / Grinder Blade assembly, Smart Cup /
Grinder Cup to the Motor unit according to the instructions listed in the
section (“How to Use”) below. Check that these accessories are locked into
the Motor unit before you start using the appliance.
c. Before adding ingredients, make sure the blades are in place and are running
smoothly.

The Blender
d. Screw the Blender Blade assembly (4-blades) anti-clockwise onto the bottom
of the Blender Jug. (optional: Place the Filter in the Blender Jug before
placing food/liquids. The Filter retains pulp while allowing juice to separate
out). Place food/liquids (not exceeding 1000 ml) into the Blender Jug. Insert
the Lid on top of the Blender Jug and turn clockwise to tighten. Insert the
Plug on top of the Lid and turn clockwise to tighten. Lower the Blender Jug
onto the Motor unit and align the 3 protrusions on the base of the Blender Jug
with the 3 openings on the Motor unit. Press the Blender Jug down and rotate
clockwise to lock. The Blender Blade assembly instantly locks onto the
rotating mechanism. Plug the power cable and switch the wall switch ON.
Press the Blender Jug down to blend.
Blend for NOT more than 1 minute without interruption, resting for 5
minutes with a maximum of 3 cycles before resting for 15 minutes.
On completion of blending, release the Blender Jug, switch the wall switch
OFF and unplug the power cable. Wait for the blades to stop turning and
press the Blender Jug down and rotate anti-clockwise to unlock. Lift the
Blender Jug with the Blender Blade assembly from the Motor unit and detach.
Unscrew the Lid from the Blender Jug and pour the contents out. To remove
the Plug from the Lid, turn the plug anti-clockwise.
Alternatively, to blend smaller quantities, substitute the Blender Jug for the
Smart Cup, whilst still using the Blender Blade assembly (instead of the
Grinder Blade assembly). The procedure is identical to that of the Grinder.
The Grinder
e. Separate the Grinder Blade assembly (2-blades) from the Grinder Cup by
either holding the Grinder Blade assembly (bottom) and turning the Grinder
Cup (top) anti-clockwise; or, inverting the Grinder Cup, holding the Grinder
Cup (bottom) and turning the Grinder Blade assembly (top) anti-clockwise.
Holding the Grinder Cup (bottom), place ingredients not exceeding 100 g into
the Grinder Cup (bottom), attach the Grinder Blade assembly on top, and
then screw the Grinder Blade assembly (top) clockwise. Lower the Grinder
Cup onto the Motor unit and align the 3 protrusions on the base of the
Grinder Cup with the 3 openings on the Motor unit. Press the Grinder Cup
down and rotate clockwise to lock. The Grinder Blade assembly instantly
locks onto the rotating mechanism. Plug the power cable and switch the wall
switch ON. Press the Grinder Cup down to grind.
Grind for NOT more than 30 seconds without interruption, resting for 2
minutes with a maximum of 3 cycles before resting for 15 minutes.
On completion of grinding, release the Grinder Cup, switch the wall switch
OFF and unplug the power cable. Wait for the blades to stop turning and
press the Grinder Cup down and rotate anti-clockwise to unlock. Lift the
Grinder Cup with the Grinder Blade assembly from the Motor unit and detach.
Invert the Grinder Cup. Separate the Grinder Blade assembly from the
Grinder Cup by holding the Grinder Cup (bottom) and turning the Grinder
Blade assembly (top) anti-clockwise to unlock. Extract the grinded food.
