Tips
• The inner measuring cap can be removed
and oils/liquids or other ingredients added
during blending. Extreme care must be taken
as depending on the mixture and speeds of
operation, splashes can eject from the lid.
It is not suggested to remove the inner
measuring cap when blending hot liquids.
• Do not exceed the maximum mark when
adding foods and liquids into the blender.
• Use the PULSE | ICE CRUSH button when
food is too thick or coarse to circulate within
the blender jug.
• The scraper and tamper accessories can be
used during blending by removing the inner
measuring cap. Always make sure the main
lid stays rmly in place.
• Ingredients may stick to the sides of the blender
jug.To push food back onto the blades with the
main lid on (inner cap removed), use the tamper
or scraper provided to scrape down the sides of
the jug, and continue blending.
• If any moisture or liquid spills on top of the motor
base during blending, turn the blender o and
unplug from the outlet. Remove the blender jug,
and wipe motor base immediately with a dry
cloth or paper towel.
• The optimum amount of ice cubes that
the blender can process in the jug is 250g
(approximately 1 standard ice tray).
• When the blender has been running for
6 minutes in manual mode with the jug or
30 seconds with the personal blender cup,
it will automatically turn o. This is a safety
feature to protect the motor.
• Thicker mixtures puree more eciently if the
jug is ¼ to ½ full.
• Do not use metal utensils, as they may damage
the blades or blender jug.
• To remove any food that cannot easily
be scraped out from under the blades,
replace lid and turn blender back on high
speed for 4–5 seconds to spin foods out
from under blades.

Dry milling
Please note that milling hard ingredients like spices, nuts, sugar, coee, grains, etc will cause scratching
and clouding to the inside surfaces of the jug. This is a cosmetic result from milling these kinds of
ingredients, and does not aect the performance of the jug.
Avoid over-processing spices though. Essential oils found in spices when combined with heat can
damage the jug surface.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION
Motor doesn’t start or
blade doesn’t rotate
• Check the blender jug and lid are securely in place.
• Check that the power plug is properly inserted into the power outlet.
• Check the ON | OFF button and selected function button is illuminated.
Food is unevenly
chopped
• Use the Tamper when blending to help move the ingredients around.
• Reduce the speed so the blades have more chance of grabbing the food
• 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 or slower speeds.
• Use the ICE CRUSH | 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
Food stuck under
blades
• To remove any food that cannot easily be scraped out from under the
blades, replace lid and turn blender back on high speed for 4–5 seconds to
spin foods out from under blades.
Blender overloaded • This blender has a motor protection feature to protect against over heating
and/or over current use.When activated OVERLOAD PROTECTION will
ash on the LCD and the blender will be inoperable.
• If activated, turn the blender o by pressing the ON | OFF button on the
control panel, switch of at the wall and unplug the blender. Wait a few
minutes then re-plug and power ON the blender.
• If OVERLOAD PROTECTION is still ashing, repeat and leave the blender
to cool down for at least 20–30 minutes. Once OVERLOAD PROTECTION
has disappeared from the screen the blender is ready to be used again.
• We recommend blending in smaller batches, or cutting ingredients into
smaller pieces.

Care & Cleaning
Vessels and lids
To avoid food drying on blades, vessels
and lids, follow the below steps as soon
as possible after use:
• Rinse most of the ingredients o the vessels
and lids.
2-litre jug
• Add 1L of warm water and 1–2 drops
of detergent and press the CLEAN button.
• Rinse the jug and lid again and/or wash
separately in warm soapy water with a soft cloth
or bottle brush.
Personal blender attachments
• All personal blender attachments are dishwasher
safe on top shelf.
• To help removing food residues from the blades
and cup walls you can add 250mL of cold water
to the personal blender cup and press CLEAN.
• Rinse the cup with warm water afterwards.
• If not clean yet, hand wash in warm, soapy
water using a mild liquid detergent and
non-abrasive sponge.
WARNING
There is a risk of pressurisation from
hot water and / or detergent. When rinsing the
personal blender cup by using the CLEAN cycle
never add hot or even warm water, as the steam
produced can create dangerous pressurisation.
Do not add detergent, as the foam produced will
expand and may cause pressurisation.
WARNING
Oils in citrus rind can damage the material of your
jug and personal blender cup if being exposed to
it for a longer period.Always clean your blender
jug and personal blender cup immediately after
processing citrus rind.
Motor base
To clean the motor base, wipe with a soft, damp
cloth then dry thoroughly. Wipe any excess food
particles from the power cord.
Cleaning agents
Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners
on either the motor base or the jug, as they may
scratch the surface.Use only warm soapy water
with a soft cloth.
Dishwasher
The blender jug , personal blender cup, personal
blender blade system, tamper, scraper and all lids
can be washed in the dishwasher on a standard
wash cycle. Jug can be placed on the bottom shelf,
however the personal blender cup and lids should
be on the top shelf only.
Stubborn food stains and odours
Strong smelling foods such as garlic and sh, and
some vegetables such as carrots, may leave an
odour or stain.
2 Litre jug
To remove, clean the jug and lid using
the CLEAN instructions. Add 2 tablespoons
bicarbonate of soda and ½ cup (125mL) vinegar
into jug and let the mixture froth for 1 minute.
Scrub the jug and lid with the mixture using a soft
dishwashing brush. Add 2 cups warm water and
allow to stand for 5 minutes. Attach jug to blender
base. Secure lid and then press the CLEAN button.
Thoroughly rinse the jug, and allow to air dry. Store
jug and lid with the lid o to allow air to circulate.
Personal blender cup
To remove, pour warm soapy water and
ll to the MAX mark. Set aside to soak
for 5 minutes.Then wash with a mild detergent and
warm water, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Do not
use the CLEAN function to remove stubborn stains
and odours from your personal blender cup.
Dry milling
Milling hard ingredients like spices, nuts, sugar,
coee, grains, etc will cause scratching and
clouding to the inside surfaces of the jug.
Some spices and herbs release aromatic oils that
may discolour the jug or leave an aroma.
These are cosmetic results from milling these
kinds of ingredients, and does not aect the
performance of the jug.
Storage
Store your blender upright with the blender jug
assembled on the motor base, or beside it. Store
the personal blender cup with the blade system
assembled. Do not place anything on top.To allow
air to circulate, keep the lid o.
