MANUAL SPEED SELECTION ON / OFF
The ON / OFF button powers the unit into
READY mode.
ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
There are 5 electronic speed buttons from
MIX through to LIQUIFY.
MIX combines more delicate foods with a folding
motion, and is good for combining wet and dry
ingredients.
LIQUIFY is the fastest setting, and is ideal for
breaking down ingredients to make cocktails
and other nely blended mixtures.
Select the required speed (1 to 5) by pressing
the corresponding speed button.The blender
will start to operate and the selected speed button
will illuminate.The ON / OFF button will illuminate
and cease to ash.
The LCD timer screen will start counting up in one
second increments until 120 seconds is reached.
NOTE
Operate the blender only for the appropriate
amount of time required – do not over blend.
When 120 seconds is reached, the blender will
automatically stop blending and the selected speed
button illumination will go out.
The ON / OFF button will illuminate and ash.
After a few seconds the LCD timer screen will
revert to ‘00’.
• The Sage®Blender will automatically stop
blending after 120 seconds.This is a safety
feature and restricts wear on the motor.
• The speed can be changed at any time during
the blending process.Each time a new speed
is selected its button will illuminate and the
previous speed button illumination will go out.
The number of seconds on the LCD timer screen
will continue to count upwards to 120 seconds
unless interrupted.
Count-up timer
The blender timer counts up in seconds as it
blends on one of the 5 electronic speeds from MIX
to LIQUIFY.When using the timer this way, the
blender will stop after 2 minutes.
PRESET PROGRAMS
Your Sage®Blender features three additional
functions, ‘AUTO PULSE/ICE CRUSH’,
‘GREEN SMOOTHIE’ and ‘SMOOTHIE’.These
three pre-programmed cycles automatically adjust
the blending time and speeds to optimise blending
results.The maximum amount of ice cubes the
blender can blend at any one time is 1 standard
ice tray or 250g. Select the required function by
pressing the corresponding function button.The
blender will start to operate and the selected
function button will illuminate.The ON / OFF button
will illuminate and stop ashing. The LCD timer
screen will start counting down in one second
increments until ‘00’ is displayed.
AUTO CLEAN
Use to remove most of the ingredients o the
blender walls and blades. Add 2 cups warm soapy
water, and press the clean button.
For harder to clean, sticky or thick ingredients,
add ½ teaspoon of dish liquid detergent for extra
cleaning power. For best results, clean the blender
jug this way immediately after use.
NOTE
If the blender is running and a dierent button
is pressed, the speed will automatically switch
to that program without stopping.
WARNING
Never place anything other than food and liquids
in the blender while the motor is running.
NOTE
Use the PULSE button when the food that is being
processed is too thick or coarse to circulate within
the blender jug.
At the end of use, always ensure the blender is
turned o by pressing the ON / OFF button on
the control panel.Then unplug the cord. Ensure
the motor and blades have completely stopped
before attempting to move the appliance, or
when the Sage®Blender is not in use and before
disassembling, cleaning and storing.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION
Motor doesn’t start or
blade doesn’t rotate
• Check the blender jug and lid are securely in place.
• Check the ON / OFF button and selected function button is illuminated.
• Check that the power plug is properly inserted into the power outlet.
Food is unevenly
chopped
• This can happen when too much food is being blended at one time.
Try a smaller amount, and work in batches if necessary.
• The ingredients may be too large.Try cutting into smaller pieces.
For best results, ingredients should be in pieces no larger than 2cm.
Food is chopped too
ne or is watery
• Try blending for shorter period of time. Use the PULSE function
for better control.
Food sticks to blade
and jug
• The mixture may be too thick.Try adding more liquid and/or using
a slower speed for blending.
Blender overloaded
(all lights ashing)
• This blender has overload protection to prevent damage to the motor.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION will ash on the LCD. Unplug and allow
the blender to cool down for 30 minutes. Once cooled, you will be able
to use the blender as usual again.
• We recommend blending in smaller batches, or cutting ingredients
into smaller batches.

dishwasher on a standard wash cycle.The jug can
be placed on the bottom shelf, however the lid and
inner measuring cap should be washed on the top

base in the dishwasher can shorten the life of them
due to prolonged exposure to harsh detergents,
hot water and pressure.

vegetables such as carrots may leave an odour
or stain on the blender jug and lid.To remove, soak
blender jug and lid for 5 minutes in warm soapy
water.Then wash with a mild detergent and warm
water, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Store jug with
the lid o.

assembled on the motor base, or beside it.
