Before using your smoothie maker for the first time, wash
the jug, blade assembly, lid, stirrer, stopper and dispensing
tapin warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Place the base unit on a stable surface, free from heat and
moisture and within easy reach of a mains outlet. The
mainscord should not be taut
Make sure both silicone washers are in place on the blade
assembly. Screw the tap firmly to the blade assembly by
rotatingit clockwise but do not over tighten.
Place the jug on the blade assembly and rotate it firmly
clockwise so that the arrows line up. These arrows are
markedas on Page3.
Place the assembled jug on the motor base and rotate
firmly clockwise so that the arrows line up. These arrows
are markedas onPage3.
The jugmay now be filled.
Cut solid ingredients into 25 mm (1") cubes. If the food is
verysolid, cut the pieces into smaller cubes.
Fill the jug with the ingredients. You may add any
combination of your favourite ingredients, including fruit
pieces, juices or yoghourt, fruit purees, etc. Use a recipe or
giveyour imagination free rein!
Do not overfill the jug. Although the maximum capacity is
1.75 litres, we suggest you do not exceed the 1.5 litre mark.
Ifyou are preparing a large quantity,use smallerbatches.
Always add sufficient amounts of liquids even when
making very thick smoothies. NEVER run the smoothie
maker without any liquid. Add more liquid for thinner
smoothiesand juices.
When the ingredients are in the jug place the lid on the jug.
Ifyou are making a smoothie, insert the stirrer.
If you are using the
appliance as a
blender you MUST
usethe stopper.
Place the stopper in
the slots in the lid
and turn fully anti-
clockwiseto lock.
