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 wellanddry.
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 baseunit.
4. Mount the fully assembly glass jug onto the motor/ baseunit.
5. After putting the ingredients in the jug, put the lid (2) onto the jug by pressingdown.
6. Insert the measuring cup (1) into the opening of the lid, and turn it in a clockwise
direction until it is locked inplace.
Inserting the Glass Jug
1. Position the motor unit on a dry, firm, level surface, close to a power socket and out of
reach ofchildren.
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 glassjug.
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 theblades.
3. Switch on the motor:
Speedsetting Use
Low(1-3) for light usage withliquids
High(4-5) for more solid consistency –for mixing liquids and solid foodstuffs
P for ice crushing & short, powerfulbursts
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 poweroutlet.
5. To remove the glass jug just turn it in an anti-clockwise direction and then lift itup.
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 pointingat.
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 beenadded.
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 thejug.
Do not be tempted simply to increase the amount of ice and blend for longer –this
willnotwork.Toomuchicewillnevergiveyousatisfactoryresults.
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
Donotblenddry,thickorheavymixturesformorethan60secondscontinuously.Let the
appliance cool down before continue operating the applianceagain.
Do not place the lid into boiling water as it maydeform.
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 atonce.
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 thelid.
For stirring solid or very thick liquid ingredients we recommend that you use the
blender in pulse mode to prevent the blades from becomingstuck.
Always place your hand on top of the blender when you are operating thedevice.
Be careful when processing lukewarmliquids.
