2. Fit the blade assembly onto the bottle. Tighten the blade assembly firmly in place.

3. Turn the bottle upside down so that the blade assembly is at the bottom, then line up the tabs on the bottle with the openings on the rim of the motor unit. Insert the bottle into the motor unit.

4. The blender has a twist-to-start activation. To start blending simply turn the bottle clockwise to lock it in place and start the blending. Your blender will not work unless the bottle is correctly locked into position.

CAUTION: This blender is powerful and will blend as soon as you turn the bottle into place. Ensure you use both hands to hold the bottle and base while blending.

1. Once you have reached your desired blending consistency turn the bottle anti-clockwise to stop and release the bottle. It will stop blending as soon as the bottle is unlocked from the base.

3. Turn the bottle so that it is the right side up and remove the blade assembly.
4. Place the bottle lid onto the bottle and twist to tighten into place. You can now enjoy your drink!

General Cleaning

Troubleshooting

Issue Possible	Solution
The blender has stopped working	CHECK THE FOLLOWING:Is the blade assembly locked securely into the motor unit?IF THE BLENDER IS STILL NOT WORKING:If you have been using the blender for more than five minutes consistently, it may be that the overheat prevention function has stopped the blender to allow the motor to cool down. Allow the motor to cool down for 1 minute and try to use the blender again.If it still does not work, please contact the Duronic Customer Care Team for assistance.
There is a strange smell during blending	This is normal and fades away with time. The motor unit has a powerful motor which is brand new and factory installed. As you are the first user of the blender, you will receive a slight odour coming from the motor. However, with regular usage the odour will disappear.
Can I blend frozen fruits?	You can use partially frozen fruits. This means that they need to be removed from the freezer an hour or more before blending them.If using frozen food or ice cubes, please ensure you add a liquid to the mix to ensure the blender can blend efficiently.
