clean and maintain” immediately following this section.
2. Place the Base of the Motor unit on a flat, dry and heat-resistant surface.
The Blender
3. Insert the Blender Blade into the Glass Blender Jug (the “Jug”) and fix the Holder
over the Blender Blade. Insert the Upper Clutch into the Holder and fix the Motor
clutch inside the Upper Clutch.
4. Holding the Handle of the Jug, align the Motor Clutch to the Motor unit vertically,
rotate the Jug clockwise and press downwards to lock the Jug tightly in place in
place with an audible “click”.
5. Wash the fruit/s and/or vegetables, then peel and cut into no larger than 1 inch
(2.5 cm) cubes. DO NOT add glutinous foods. Add liquids such as water or milk,
then place the cut fruits or vegetables into the Jug with the, topped off with yoghurt
or ice cream if desired. Place small portions into the Jug bit by bit instead of
blending all at once. You can pause blending, remove the Blender Cap, add fresh
ingredients, replace the Blender Cap and continue blending. The total volume
should NOT exceed the MAX mark. (Food is 2/5 of the cup capacity and water is
3/5; for instance, 600 grams of carrots with 900 grams of water.)
Note: For optimal performance, place the ingredients in the Jug according to the
following sequence:
Liquids, fresh ingredients, frozen fruits, yoghurt, ice cream.

6. Attach the Blender Lid to the Jug by firmly pressing it downwards.
7. Insert the Blender Cap into the Blender Lid and turn it until it is locked in place.
8. Turn the Speed Rotary Knob (the “Knob”) to ‘0’ (OFF). Plug the power cable into
the wall socket and switch ON. First turn the Knob anti-clockwise to ‘P’ (Pulse)
several times before turning the Knob to ‘1’ or ‘2’ and blend until the desired
consistency is achieved.
No matter whether the Knob is at ‘1’ or ‘2’, turning the Knob anti-clockwise to ‘P’
and holding it there will produce a short bust at maximum speed. When the Knob
is released, it will return to the original speed.
For blending solid or very thick liquid ingredients, use the Blender in ‘P’ mode to
prevent the blades from becoming stuck.
Place one hand on top of the Blender Lid when blending to stabilise the
appliance. DO NOT operate the appliance for more than 1 minute without
interruption. Let the appliance rest for 2 minutes between processing cycles.
After 3 processing cycles, allow an interval of 15 minutes to let the appliance
cool down before the next use, so as to prolong its service life. DO NOT
allow the appliance to idle while in operation.
9. On the completion of blending, turn the Knob to ‘0’ (OFF), switch off the wall switch
and unplug the power cable.
10. Wait for the blades to stop turning and, holding the Handle of the Jug, unscrew the
Jug with the Holder anti-clockwise from the Motor unit and detach.
11. Remove the Blender Lid from the Jug and the contents may be poured out.

Crushing Ice
12. Before using the Blender to crush ice, make sure it is clean and rinse it out
thoroughly.
13. Ice cubes come in many shapes and sizes. Insert a maximum of 12 ice cubes and
add 60 ml of cold water. DO NOT be tempted to increase the number of ice cubes
and blend for longer – this will not work. Too much ice will never give you
satisfactory results.
14. Put the Blender Lid and Blender Cap on the Jug (steps 6 & 7) and turn the Knob
to ‘P’ for 2 seconds and release for 2 seconds. Note that too much blending will
reduce the ice to liquid, too little will merely chip the edges/corners off the ice. DO
NOT try to crush ice without adding water into the jug.
only if a Jam occurs: DO NOT continue blending if the blade is jammed.
Turn the Knob to ‘0’ (OFF). Switch off the wall switch and unplug the power
cable.

(Occasionally, the blockage may require that the Jug be detached from the
Motor unit before clearing. Unscrew the Jug with the Holder anti-clockwise from
the Motor unit and detach).
Once the Jam is cleared, (re-attach the Jug with the Holder to the Motor unit
by screwing the Jug clockwise – step 4), re-attach the Lid onto the Jug firmly.
Perform steps 8 – 11 again.

The Grinder (Mincer)
(used for grinding dry and hard foodstuffs: spices, coffee beans, seeds, almonds,
etc., as well as mincing meat, garlic, ginger, onions, chillies, etc.)
1. Insert the Grinder Blade into the Grinder Cup (the “Cup”) and fix the Holder over
the Grinder Blade. Insert the Upper Clutch into the Holder and fix the Motor clutch
inside the Upper Clutch.
2. Holding the Handle of the Cup, align the Motor Clutch to the Motor unit vertically,

5. Turn the Speed Rotary Knob (the “Knob”) to ‘0’ (OFF). Plug the power cable into
the wall socket and switch ON. First turn the Knob anti-clockwise to ‘P’ (Pulse)
several times before turning the Knob to ‘1’ or ‘2’ and grind until the desired
consistency is achieved.
No matter whether the Knob is at ‘1’ or ‘2’, turning the Knob anti-clockwise to ‘P’
and holding it there will produce a short bust at maximum speed. When the Knob
is released, it will return to the original speed.
For grinding hard solids, use the Grinder in ‘P’ mode to prevent the blades from
becoming stuck.
Place one hand on top of the Lid and push the Cup down throughout the
grinding process. DO NOT operate the appliance for more than 1 minute
without interruption. Let the appliance rest for 2 minutes between
processing cycles. After 3 processing cycles, allow an interval of 15 minutes
