USING YOUR APPLIANCE

■ Set the motor unit (A) on a flat and stable surface.
■ Add the ingredients to the blender bottle (B2). The maximum level of 600 ml (refer to the gauge on the bottle) must not be exceeded. For best results, we recommend first filling the bottle with liquid ingredients, then with the fresh or frozen ingredients (cut the ingredients into a maximum of 2 cm pieces). Do not fill the bottle excessively.
■ Screw the blade firmly (B1) onto the opening of the blender bottle (B2) (Image 1). Then place the bottle with the blade on the motor unit, aligning the arrow on the outside of the blade with the arrow on the edge of the motor unit (Image 2). Then place the vacuum bottle on the motor unit, aligning the arrow on the outside of the blade with the arrow on the edge of the motor unit.
■ Turn on the device. Select a blending function using the selection button:

-Blend: 1-minute automatic blending program.

-Pulse ice crush: Crushed ice function. It starts each time the "Start Stop" button is pressed and stops when the button is released.

–Vacuum: 50-second automatic program that removes the air in the blender bottle.

–Vacuum blend: 1 minute 50 second automatic program that combines the vacuum and blend functions.

A light appears beside the selected program. Press the central "Start Stop" button to start the program. Warning: for the programs with the "air out" function, the selector must be placed above the vacuum bottle (B3) on the "Air out" icon before starting the program (image 5).
■ When you have finished blending, unlock the vacuum bottle then the blender bottle from the motor unit (Image 8 and 9). Warning: for the programs with the "air out" function, the selector must be placed above the vacuum bottle (B3) on the icon (image 6) before unlocking the bottles from the motor unit. (image 7) Turn the blender bottle upside down so that the blade (B1) is at the top and unscrew it from the bottle (B2) (Image 10). Then position the top on it and screw it in place (C1 + C2). Then position the bottom lid beneath the bottle (Image 11). You can then drink directly from the blender bottle or take it with you.
