SAGE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST
• Installation of a residual
current device (a standard
safety switch on your wall
socket) is recommended to
provide additional safety
protection when using
appliances. It is advisable
that a safety switch (with
a rated residual operating
current not more than
30mA) be installed in the
electrical circuit supplying
the appliance. Contact
your electrician for further
professional advice.
• In order to avoid the possible
hazard of the blender starting
by itself due to inadvertent
resetting of the overload
protector on the motor, do not
attach an external switching
device (such as a timer) or
connect the blender to a
circuit that can regularly
switch the blender on and off.
• Do not operate appliance
with a damaged cord or
plug, or after appliance

SAGE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST
SAFEGUARDS FOR
YOUR BLENDER
• Wash the blender jug with
warm soapy water before
first use.
• Use only the blender jug
and lid that is supplied
with this blender. The use
of attachments, including
canning jars or accessories
not manufactured or
specified by Sage may cause
the risk of fire, electrical
shock, or injury.
• Always ensure the blender is
assembled properly before
using. Lid must be firmly
secured to the jug before
operation to ensure internal
contents do not escape, spray
or overflow.
• If the motor is straining
under a heavy load, do not
operate continuously for
more than 10 seconds. Allow
the motor to rest for 1 minute
between uses on heavy loads.
Note that none of the recipes
in these instructions are
considered a heavy load.
• Do not leave the blender
unattended when in use.
• Flashing light indicates ready
to operate. Avoid any contact
with blades or moving parts.
• Keep hands, fingers, hair
and clothing away from the
blender during use. Always
turn blender off and unplug
at the wall before reaching
inside.
• Be careful when handling the
blender jug as the blades are
very sharp. Be careful when
emptying the jug and during
cleaning. Mishandling of the
blades may cause injury.
• Do not remove the jug from
the motor base while blender
is in use.
• The blender is intended for
food or drinks preparation.
Do not use for anything
other than food or drinks.
Do not operate without any
ingredients in the blender jug.
• Never attempt to operate
with damaged blades, or
with utensils, or any foreign
objects inside the blender jug.

SAGE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• To reduce the risk of severe
injury to persons or damage
to the blender, keep hands
and utensils out of the jug
while blending. The scraper
and frozen dessert wand
provided can be used,
provided the main lid is in
place.
• Never blend boiling hot
liquids. Allow temperature to
drop before putting into the
jug for blending.
• Be careful if hot liquid is
poured into the blender, as it
can be ejected out of the jug
due to sudden steaming.
• When blending hot liquids
ensure inner measuring cap
is in place. Cap will protect
from splashing of hot liquids
during blending and includes
vents designed to relieve
pressure and avoid steam
build up.
• Be careful removing the lid
after blending hot liquids, as
steam traps can form in the
liquid and be ejected out of
the jug.
• Do not put the blender jug in
extremes of heat or cold, for
example placing a cold jug
into hot water, or vice versa.
• Before moving the blender,
cleaning or putting it away for
storage, always turn blender
off and unplug at the wall.
The symbol shown
indicates that this
appliance should not be
disposed of in normal
household waste. It
should be taken to a
local authority waste
collection centre
designated for this
purpose or to a dealer
providing this service.
For more information,
please contact your local
council office.
CAUTION
Surface may get hot after
periods of extended use.

The ON | OFF button powers the unit into
READY mode.
Ready mode
The blender will default to MANUAL.
MANUAL FEATURES
Speed control dial
There are 12 speed settings from STIR
through to MILL.
STIR mixes more delicate foods with a slow
stirring motion and light pausing to fold
ingredients together.
MILL is the fastest setting, and is ideal for
milling nuts, grains and seeds.
The blender is programmed to allow
manual speeds to run for 6 minutes before
automatically stopping.
PAUSE | PLAY
Pauses and holds the speed and timer for up
to 2 minutes. Press PAUSE | PLAY again
to resume.
Pause is also activated if the jug is removed
from base during use. Replace jug, and press
START to resume.
Repeat function
If the START button is pressed when
using the manual speed dial, or if the timer
finishes, the current speed setting will be
held for 2 minutes to allow a quick repeat of
the cycle.
Pressing the START button will re-start this
repeat cycle.
If you want to clear the previous speed from
the memory, press and hold the START
button for 2 seconds.

stop after 6 minutes, or you can cancel
blending manually.
Count-down timer
The alternative to running the blender in
count-up mode is to set the blending time
before starting.

OPERATING YOUR SAGE PRODUCT
PRESET PROGRAMS
PULSE | ICE CRUSH (60 seconds)
Optimised to crush ice, and has an
intelligent sensor to stop the motor when
ice is done. This cycle is also ideal for
processing other foods that need sudden
bursts of power.
SMOOTHIE (60 seconds)
Optimised to combine and aerate frozen
and liquid ingredients together. The
SMOOTHIE function has a unique
processing technique that blends the denser
ingredients at lower speed, then increases
in speed as ingredients thicken. This
will happen several times while blending
smoothies. The programming also circulates
the ingredients for maximum aeration and a
creamy texture.
GREEN SMOOTHIE (60 seconds)
Optimised to break down whole hard
ingredients like fruits, leafy greens and
seeds, and allows them to blend together
with other soft and liquid ingredients.
FROZEN DESSERT (60 seconds)
Optimised to break down and combine
frozen ingredients quickly. Use the frozen
dessert wand for best results.
SOUP (6 minutes)
This preset program runs for 6 minutes to
blend and heat ingredients to make soups.
The program has a slow start to combine
ingredients before running at high speed,
and ends with a couple of stirs to release
any steam bubbles that may have formed in
the soup.
WARNING
Never blend boiling hot liquids. Allow
temperature to drop before putting
into the jug for blending.
AUTO CLEAN
Use to remove most of the ingredients off
the blender walls and blades. Add 500ml
warm soapy water, and press the AUTO
CLEAN button. For harder to clean, sticky
or thick ingredients, add ½ teaspoon of
dish liquid detergent for extra cleaning
power. For best results, run the clean cycle
immediately after use.
PAUSE | PLAY
Pauses and holds a program mid-cycle for
up to 2 minutes. Press PAUSE | PLAY again
to resume.
Pause is also activated if the jug is removed
from base during use. Replace jug, and press
START to resume.
Note: If the blender is running and you
press a different preset button, it will switch
to that program without stopping.
