Preparation

■ Remove all packaging and sticker materials and dispose of them according to applicable legal regulations.

Prior to first use

The parts must be cleaned prior to first use. To do this, proceed as follows:

1. Take the entire unit off the motor housing and place it on a level surface, e.g., on the kitchen counter. 2. The lid ☐ can be removed from the glass jug by pushing on it lightly upwards with your thumb. 3. Turn the measuring cup counterclockwise as far as it will go and take it upwards out of the lid opening B. 4. Take the sealing ring D off of the lid. Due to its flexibility, the sealing ring can be lifted off with your fingers. Do not use any tools as this could damage the sealing ring. 5. Now set the glass jug with the opening facing down on a level surface. 6. Take off the jug base by turning it counterclockwise until it comes off (see diag.). The cutter unit inside the jug base stays in the glass jug.

Caution

■ The blades are very sharp. Therefore, do not touch the cutter unit with your fingers. Risk of injury!

8. Clean all parts, with the exception of the motor housing, as described in "Cleaning and Care". 9. Then re-assemble the jug blender in the reverse order. Set the glass jug with the opening facing down on a level surface. 10. Lay the cutter unit sealing ring in the middle on the glass jug. 11. Then insert the cutter unit with the blades evenly into the opening of the base of the glass jug (see diag.). Push down a little so that the sealing ring presses onto the cutter unit.

13. Put the sealing ring on the lid. Make sure that the sealing ring is sitting on the lid evenly. 14. Press the lid levelly onto the glass jug.

15. Put the measuring cup into the lid. The protrusions on the measuring cup fit perfectly into the grooves in the lid opening. Turn the measuring cup counterclockwise as far as it will go to secure it. 16. Turn the glass jug over and place it upright onto the motor unit. The white line with arrow on the base of the jug must be located under the white arrow on the motor unit. 17. Cut the food into small pieces before using the appliance.

Operation

1 Place the device on an even and dry surface. The non-slip feet L ensure the stability of the device. 2 Make sure that the power cord is disconnected from the power supply and the control dial K is on ● before putting food into the glass jug. 3 Take the glass jug off the motor unit and open the lid. 4 Now put the items to be blended in the glass jug. The ingredients should only be about 2-5 cm long. The maximum filling quantity is 1.5 l. The filling quantity is indicated on the glass jug in litres from 0.5-1.5 LTR and in ounces from 20-50 OZ. Add water to ensure the jug blender functions smoothly. The mixing ratio between hard foods and water is usually 2:3.

Caution

  • Do not put or blend hot foods or liquids in the glass jug. Never let the jug blender operate while empty (without food). Danger of overheating! 5 Close the lid. Make sure that the measuring cup is inside the lid opening and is secured. 6 Connect the power plug to a suitable power outlet. 7 The cutting speed can be variably adjusted with the control dial.

Note

This device also has a turbo function. This will briefly increase the speed of the blades, to chop food for example. This is especially suitable for vegetables or nuts. Depending on the type of the food you would like to chop, it is recommended to either begin with a low speed or to use the turbo function. The turbo function (position P) should only be used for a few seconds. As soon as the turbo function is released, the blender automatically switches to position O.

8 If ingredients are to be added during the blending process, then add them through the opening in the lid. To do this, take out the measuring cup. 9 After the desired consistency of the blended food has been reached, turn the control dial to 0 to switch off the blender.

Caution

■ The operating time of the jug blender must not exceed 3 minutes at a time.

10 Pull the power plug out of the power outlet.

11 Remove the glass jug from the motor unit. 12 Take off the lid and pour the mixture into glasses or other containers.

Note

As soon as the glass jug is empty, it should be rinsed out with warm water.

Tips for preparing of food

■ To ensure that the food is optimally blended, add the liquids to the glass jug first and then the hard foods. ■ The jug blender cannot perform the following functions: Beat egg whites, whip cream, make mashed potatoes, chop meat, mix dough, extract fruit or vegetable juice. ■ The following foods should never be put into the jug blender as they could damage it: bones, large pieces of completely frozen food or hard foods like turnip.

Cleaning and care

Caution

■ Never use petrol, solvents or abrasive cleaners, metal objects or hard brushes to clean the appliance. - Do not touch the blades with your bare hands as they are very sharp. Use a brush instead. - Clean the jug blender after each use. Do not let any food remains harden on and inside the jug blender. This will make it more difficult to clean it later.

1 Prior to cleaning, always pull the power plug out of the power outlet. 2 Let the appliance cool down completely. 3 Clean the housing with a soft, damp cloth and some dish soap. 4 All other parts – except the housing – are dishwasher safe.

Caution

■ Never put the motor housing or power cord in water or any other liquids and never hold them under running water.

Notes

For rapid cleaning, the glass jug can be filled with warm water and dish soap. Put the control dial on turbo function a few times. Then remove the glass jug from the motor housing and rinse it out with clear water.

  • Clean all parts of the glass jug unit and take it apart as described under "Prior to first use". ■ The glass jug, lid, measuring cup, sealing rings and the jug base can be manually cleaned with dish soap and warm water or in the dishwasher. However, the temperature in the dishwasher should not exceed 70°C.

Caution

- Do not immerse the cutter unit into water. Clean the cutter unit with a brush and warm soapy water. Be careful not to touch the blade with your fingers! Risk of injury!

After cleaning, rinse it with clear water. Leave the cutter unit in an upright position and in a safe place to air dry. The cutter unit should be left to dry in a location that is out of reach of children!
