IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed
including the following:
1. Read all instructions and save the instructions provided with this appliance.
2. Do not put the motor unit in water or any other liquid; do not use it in a bathroom or
near any source of water.
3. Do not use outdoors.
4. The blender must be used only by a responsible adult.
5. Switch OFF and unplug the blender from the main power supply outlet before
dismantling or cleaning.
6. The blender is fitted with a safety switch to prevent the motor operating unless the jug

is in place. Do not use this to switch the blender on and off.
7. Turn the switch to standby “0” / “OFF” before fitting/ removing the jug to/ from the
motor/ base unit.
8. Turn the switch to standby “0” / “OFF” and wait until the blades come to a complete
stop before removing the lid from the jug, and before removing the jug from the motor/
base unit.
9. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
10. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
11. Do not use the blender without first locking the lid in place.
12. Do not fill the jug with boiling liquids. Allow liquids to cool to a lukewarm temperature
before you put them in the jug. This type of temperature would be comfortable to the
touch.
13. Do not put your hand into the jug, even when it has been removed for
cleaning –the blades are very sharp.
14. Do not come into contact with moving parts.
15. Do not put any other object (spoon, spatula, etc.) Into the jug while the blender

sucked into the motor, damaging it.
23. Do not fill the jug above the MAX. mark. If you do, the contents may force the
lid off when you start the motor.

quickly. Due to its efficiency there is no need to run the motor for more than 2
minutes at a time.

BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using your appliance for the first time take it out of the box and take off any protective
wrappings. REMEMBER: DO NOT LEAVE PROTECTIVE PACKAGING LYING AROUND, AS IT
COULD BE DANGEROUS AROUND INFANTS. Wash the jug, lid and cap in warm soapy
water, rinse well and dry. NOTE: The blades are sharp, handle with care.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Assembly of the Glass Jug
1. Put the sealing ring (4) on the inner edge of the blade unit (5).
2. Put the blade unit (5) with sealing ring into the blade assembly base (6).
3. Mount the glass jug (3) onto the blade assembly base. Turn the blade assembly base
in a clockwise direction until it is correctly tightened in place. Be careful not to turn it
too much as it may strip the thread inside the jug base unit.
4. Mount the fully assembly glass jug onto the motor/ base unit.
5. After putting the ingredients in the jug, put the lid (2) onto the jug by pressing down.
6. Insert the measuring cup (1) into the opening of the lid, and turn it in a clockwise
direction until it is locked in place.
Inserting the Glass Jug
1. Position the motor unit on a dry, firm, level surface, close to a power socket and out of
reach of children.
2. Make sure that the blender is switched off (Switched to the ‘0’ setting).
3. Place the fully assembled glass jug (9) onto the motor (7).
Use
1. Place the ingredients that you wish to process into the glass jug.
2. Put the lid on the glass jug and close securely. Place the measuring cup into the hole in
the lid and turn clockwise to lock. It is not a good idea to run the blender without the
measuring cup in place, especially if only solid ingredients are used. They may be
ejected through the hole once they hit the blades.
3. Switch on the motor:
Speed setting Use
Low (1-3) for light usage with liquids
High (4-5) for more solid consistency –for mixing liquids and solid foodstuffs
P for ice crushing & short, powerful bursts
Caution: Don’t remove the lid from the jug while the blender is ON.

4. After using the blender, always move the switch into the ‘0’ setting and remove the
mains plug from the power outlet.
5. To remove the glass jug just turn it in an anti-clockwise direction and then lift it up.
Pulse Function
The pulse function will give you a short burst at maximum speed, regardless of the
current speed of the blades. The button is spring-loaded. When you stop pressing,
it will return to the speed the switch is pointing at.
Crushing Ice
Before using the blender to crush ice, make sure it is clean and rinse it out thoroughly.
Any remaining trace of detergent may affect the taste of the crushed ice and will flatten
any drink to which it has been added.
Ice cubes come in many shapes and sizes. You will have to experiment with the ice
from your ice cube tray. Insert a maximum of 8 ice cubes and add 15ml (1 tablespoon)
of fresh cold water. Put the lid on the blender and turn the control knob to “P”. While the
unit is blending, hold 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 to the jug.
Do not be tempted simply to increase the amount of ice and blend for longer –this
will not work. Too much ice will never give you satisfactory results.
Adding Ingredients
If you need to add ingredients while the blender is working, lift the cap off, pour
the new ingredients through the hole then replace the measuring cup. Make
sure that the added ingredients do not push the volume in the jug past the
MAX. mark.

Tips for Using Your Blender
Do not blend dry, thick or heavy mixtures for more than 60 seconds continuously. Let
the appliance cool down before continue operating the appliance again.
Do not place the lid into boiling water as it may deform.
To achieve the best results when pureeing solid ingredients, place small portions
into the glass jug one by one instead of placing a large quantity all at once.
If you are processing solid ingredients, cut them into small pieces (2-3cm) first.
When mixing solid ingredients start off first with a small amount of liquid. Gradually
add more and more liquid through the opening in the lid.
For stirring solid or very thick liquid ingredients we recommend that you use the
blender in pulse mode to prevent the blades from becoming stuck.
Always place your hand on top of the blender when you are operating the device.
Be careful when processing lukewarm liquids.
