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, Blender Blade assembly (Blade Holder,
Sealing Ring & Jug Base) 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.
b. Place the Base of the Motor unit on a flat, dry and heat-resistant surface.
Lock the Blender Blade assembly anti-clockwise onto the bottom of the
Blender Jug. Lower the Blender Jug onto the Motor unit – the Blender Jug
instantly locks onto the rotating mechanism – according to the instructions

locked into the Motor unit before you start using the appliance. Before adding
ingredients, make sure the blades are in place and are running smoothly.
Add food or liquids into the Blender Jug. Insert the Lid on top of the Blender
Jug. Insert the Plug on top of the Lid and turn clockwise to lock. Turn the
ON/OFF & Speed Rotary Knob to OFF (using dry hands). Attach the plug of
the appliance to the wall socket and switch on. Turn the ON/OFF & Speed
Rotary Knob clockwise between MIN and MAX or press the Pulse Button on
the Motor unit and the appliance will begin operation immediately.
