Use
3.2 How to use the bottle
(Fig. B1-C1-D1)
• Place the ingredients into the bottle (1),
taking care not to exceed the maximum
capacity (600ml) (Fig. B1).
Let hot liquids cool down to room
temperature before pouring them
into the bottle.
For best results, we recommend
that you:
- add the hard ingredients first,
then the soft ones and then the
liquids;
- make sure that the maximum
size of the hard ingredients is
1cm x 1cm;
- the liquid part should be at least
50% of the solid part;
- only add a maximum of 4 ice
cubes (approximately 15g
each) in combination with liquid
ingredients. DO NOT add them
to dry ingredients.
• Secure the blade support (2) to the bottle
by turning it clockwise. Make sure that it
is fastened tightly (Fig. B1).
Warning
• Take great care, as the blades
and inserts are sharp.
• Place the base of the blender on a flat
horizontal surface. Plug it into the power
outlet.
• Turn the bottle over (1) and rest it on the
motor base (4) (Fig. C1).
• Use the control knob (3) to select the
required speed, 1 or 2 according to the
result you wish to obtain (Fig. C1).
• Gently press the bottle (1) downwards in
order to start the appliance. The LED ring
will remain on steadily until the bottle is
released (Fig. C1).
• To stop the blender, release the bottle (1).
The product stops and the LED turns off.
The blender will not work if the
bottle is not positioned correctly.
Warning
• Do not shake the bottle during
operation.
Important
• The blender can be used for up
to 60 seconds at a time. Wait
for 60 seconds before using it
again.
Warning
• If the motor stalls, turn off the
blender immediately, unplug
it from the power outlet and
allow it cool down for at least
10 minutes.

8
Use
• After blending, and when the blades
have stopped rotating, turn the control
knob (3) to “0”.
• Remove the bottle (1) from motor base
(4) and turn it upside down. Rotate the
blade assembly (2) counterclockwise to
remove it (Fig. D1).
• Screw the cap onto the bottle and insert
the cover (Fig. D1).
Safety lock system
The blender is fitted with a safety
lock system that automatically
switches off the blender when
the bottle is removed. It is also
equipped with a motor safety
cutout, which trips if the motor
becomes overheated.
3.3 Suggestions and general
advice
• Remove any hard parts from foods to be
blended (e.g. cores or stones from fruit,
bones from meat etc.).
• Do not allow food residues to dry inside
the bottle or on blade assembly for too
long, as they could become very difficult
to remove. We therefore recommend
that you clean them immediately after use
(see section “4 Cleaning and care”).
• Some foods, such as carrots, may stain
the bottle. We therefore recommend that
you clean them immediately after use
(see section “4 Cleaning and care”).

the appliance.
• Do not use cleaning products
containing chlorine, ammonia
or bleach on parts with metallic
finishes (e.g. anodized,
nickel- or chrome-plated).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive
detergents (e.g. powder
products, stain removers and
metallic scourers).
• Do not use rough or abrasive
materials or sharp metal
scrapers.
4.1 Cleaning the motor base
To keep the outer surface of the blender
motor base in good condition, it should
be cleaned regularly after use. Let the
appliance cool down first. Use a damp and
soft cloth with mild detergent.
4.2 Cleaning the components
To make cleaning easer, we recommend
that you clean the components immediately
after use.
• All components, with the exception
of the bottle blade assembly (2), are
dishwasher safe.
• Alternatively, wash the components
by hand using warm water and neutral
detergent.
• Thoroughly dry the components before
