  The blade unit is very sharp! Handle the blade unit with utmost care, especially during cleaning, in order to avoid injuries.

Notes

Make sure that the notches on the bottom of the glass jug fit those in the motor housing.
- Add water to ensure the jug blender functions smoothly.
Mix 3 units of hard food and 2 units of water in order to have a smooth jug blender experience. (i.e: 60 gr hard food 40 ml water)

Caution

• Do not put or blend hot food or liquids in the glass jug. If you process soup, make sure that the liquid temperature does not exceed 40^ .
  To process crushed ice, we suggest you to start with three quarters of ice in the jug and add 15 ml of cold potable water.
• Don't try to crush ice without adding water to the jug.
• Never let the jug blender operate while empty (without food).
• Never let the jug blender operate without the glass jug on the motor housing.
• Never move or turn the glass jug after it is properly seated in the place.
  If you want to blend with a higher speed, turn the control dial to the desired speed level (3).
  For short pulses of blending with a high speed, turn the control dial to "P". When you release the control dial, the blender will stop and return to "0" automatically.
  If ingredients are to be added during the blending process, then add them through the opening

in the lid B. To do this, take out the cap/measuring cup A.

• Never run the blender for longer than 1 minute, otherwise it would overheat.
  After running the appliance for 1 minute, let it cool down before using it again.
• Be sure the motor is switched off and has completely stopped before removing the glass jug D from the motor housing G.
• Do not place any utensil (scraper, fork, etc.) in the glass jug while blender is operating.

Cleaning and care

Caution

• Never use petrol, solvents, abrasive cleaners, or metal objects and hard brushes to clean the appliance.
  Never clean the blades with your bare hands.
  Clean the jug blender after each use. Do not let any food remnants harden on and inside the jug blender. This will make it more difficult to clean it later.
• Do not use boiling water. The blade assembly bearings have been designed with a lifetime lubricant; exposure to boiling water may damage these bearings and shorten the life of the blender.

Note

• Do not immerse the motorized base or blade unit in liquid, or place them in the dishwasher. Only the lid, fruit filter and the glass jug may be immersed in water and placed in the dishwasher.

Tips for blending

To add ice cubes to mixtures while the blender is operating, add one cube at a time through the cap A. Wait a few seconds before adding the next ice cube so that the blender can properly blend the ice.
To add food while the blender is operating, remove the cap A and drop the ingredients through the opening. Be sure to cut the food into about 2-5 cm pieces to fit through the opening. Replace the cap A when you have finished adding ingredients.
- When blending solid food, such as raw vegetables, cooked or uncooked meat and fruits always cut them into no larger than 2-5 cm pieces before placing them into the glass jug. Blend no more than 2 cups of these food at a time. This will speed the blending process and reduce wear on the blending blades.
Always place liquid ingredients in the glass jug first, unless a recipe specifically states otherwise.

To blend beverages, place all ingredients in the glass jug at the same time.
Avoid overblending. Usually, you will need to blend for a few seconds.
Overblending may cause food to become mushy.
