Functions
OPERATION
• The blender will only work when the blades and
cup are correctly assembled.This engages the
safety interlock, and allows the motor to run.
• When the cup and blade assembly is correctly
assembled with ingredients inside, invert cup,
and place onto the motor base using the
alignment graphics.
• To blend, securely hold the cup assembly and
twist clockwise on the base to the ON position.
• When the desired consistency is reached,
turn tumbler anti-clockwise to release
and disengage the motor.
• Do not blend continuously for more than
60 seconds at a time. Allow the motor to rest
for 2 minutes before continuing.
• Do not mill / grind continuously for more than
30 seconds at a time. Allow the motor to rest
and the metal grinding attachment to cool
for 30 seconds before continuing.
• Ingredients can be pulsed by rotating the cup
within the bayonet positions, which will turn
the motor on and o.
• When nished blending, wait a few seconds
for the blades to stop spinning before lifting the
cup assembly o the motor base.
• Invert the cup and allow the ingredients to run o
the blades for a few seconds before unscrewing
blades. Hold by the blade collar, and turn
anti-clockwise to remove.
• For safety, turn the motor base o at the wall and
unplug when nished blending.
• The grinding attachment works in a similar way
to the tumblers. Attach the blades in the same
way, and use either a pulsing action or continuous
blending, as described above.
• The surface of the stainless steel grinding
cup may become too hot to touch if grinding
for longer than 30 seconds. Detach from base
by holding the plastic collar.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION SYSTEM
• The blender is equipped with an internal self
resetting overload protector to protect the motor
from damage under heavy or continuous loads.
If the blender suddenly stops during use,
this protector may have tripped.
• Remove the cup, unplug and leave it to cool
for at least 30 minutes. Do not replace the cup
assembly while cooling as the protector may
reset causing it to start unexpectedly.
• Tripping the protector indicates that the extractor
is being loaded too heavily, or with excessive
continuous use. Reduce the amount of
ingredients used or allow more time in between
blending to prevent it from happening again,
which will help preserve the life of the motor.
• The MAX line is usually a good indicator to
prevent overly heavy loading, however some
especially dense combinations of ingredients
may still strain the motor. If the motor seems to
be straining or running slowly, only operate for
10 seconds at a time, or reduce the amount
of ingredients used. Adding more liquid can
also help to loosen dense mixtures.
Care & Cleaning
Unplug the power cord from the power outlet after
use for safety reasons.
Tumbler cups and lids
To keep your cups and lids clean, avoid allowing
food residue to dry on them. Follow these steps
as soon as possible after use:
• Rinse most of the residue o the blades,
cup and lid.
• Hand wash in warm, soapy water using a mild
liquid detergent and non-abrasive sponge.
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 cleansers
on either the motor base or the cups, as they may
scratch the surface.Use only warm soap water with
a soft cloth.
Pressurisation
The cups may be rinsed by adding cold water,
attaching blades, and either blending or shaking
by hand for 10 seconds.
