7. Turn the switch to standby “0” / “OFF”before fitting the jug to 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Preparation
1. Position the motor unit on a dry, firm, level surface, close to a power
socket and out of reach of children.
2. Check that the control knob is set to “0” or OFF position.
3. Insert the blade assembly into the base of
the plastic jug, and rotate it anti- clockwise until
it is locked. You can see the “lock”arrow direction
at the bottom of the blade assembly unit.
4. Place the jug on top of the base/motor of the blender.
Ensure that the jug is firmly in place by turning it in a clock-
wise direction to lock it. There are ‘Lock’and ‘Unlock’
markings on the unit. It is recommended that you place
the jug handle away from the controls situated at the
front of the blender. To release the jug, turn it to
anti-clockwise direction.

5. Plug the motor unit into the power socket.
6. Put the ingredients into the jug. Do not fill it past the 1.5L / 1500ml mark. If you
do, the contents may force the lid off when you start the motor.
Fitting the Lid
1. Always fit the lid to the jug before using it.
2. Press the lid well until the flanges are well fixed in the jug.
3. Put the measuring cap into the hole in the lid and press it down to fit properly.
4. It is not a good idea to run the blender without the cap, especially if only solid
ingredients are used. They may be ejected through the hole once they hit the
blades.
The Operating Control
Turn the control knob clockwise to the speed you require:
“0” / “OFF”position
“1”position - slow,
“2”position - Max
To stop operation, turn the switch to “0” / “OFF”
position. Wait until the motor stops completely
then remove the jug from the body.
Unplug the blender after use.

Pulse Function
Pressing the pulse button 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.
Do not run the motor continuously for more than 2 minutes, or it may overheat. After 2
minutes, switch off for at least 3 minutes to cool down. This will help to prolong the
life of your appliance.
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 cap. Make sure
that the added ingredients do not push the volume in the jug past the 1.5L
/ 1500ml mark.

Finished
Turn the switch to “0” / “OFF”, wait until the blades have stopped moving before
removing the lid from the jug –or removing the jug from the motor unit. Hold the
motor unit with one hand, grasp the handle with the other hand, and then lift it off the
motor unit. Now lift the lid off the jug.
Quick Clean
Fit the blender jug onto the base, making sure it is firmly in place.
Pour some lukewarm water and dishwashing
liquid into the jug. Press the pulse button for a
few seconds, repeat this twice and rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Let it dry before
storing away. Clean the motor with a damp
cloth, never immerse it in water or place it under
running water.
Tips For Using Your Blender

the appliance cool down to room temperature before continue operating the
