material or promotional labels before using
the attachment for the rst time.
1. Open the battery compartment cover

USING THE VACUUM PUMP
Applying a vacuum pressure within the blender jug before
blending green smoothies and vegetable dips can enhance
avours, change the texture and improves the overall taste
experience.
We do not recommend using the Vacuum Pump for all blending
processes. For example, dairy based mixes taste better with air
bubbles.
Also, if your food doesn’t have a liquid
element – herbs, spices, or nuts, for
example - vacuum blending will not
have a noticeable impact.
1. To get started, ll the blender
with ingredients and close
the lid rmly.
2. Replace Innthe inner cap of the
blender lid with the inner cap
of the vacuum pump.
3. Place the Vacuum Pump
on top of the Inner Cap
with Vacuum Valve.

12
4. Press the POWER Button to turn
on the Vacuum Pump.The Vacuum
Pump will automatically stop once
a vacuum pressure is reached.
5. Remove the Vacuum Pump from
the blender lid.
6. Operate blender as per manual.
7. Press the Vacuum Valve
to release vacuum pressure
from the blender jug for easy
removal of the blender lid.
The Inner Cap with Vacuum
Valve can now be left in the
blender lid for any blending
tasks, whether it be
Vacuum-Blending or
Non-Vacuum Blending.

13
WARNING
Always wait until the Vacuum Pump has stopped before turning
on the blender. Do not blend any ingredients while the Vacuum
Pump is operating, as this could cause damage to the pump.
LIGHTS AROUND POWER BUTTON
A white LED ring will be visible around the Power Button when
the Vacuum Pump is in operation.
If the battery becomes low, the LED ring will ash red for
5 seconds after vacuuming.In this case the Vacuum Pump
won't be able to achieve vacuum pressure anymore. Please
change all 4 batteries and dispose of the old ones.
