Frequently Asked Questions - T-18 Artrom

How do I assemble the blender before first use?

First, invert the jar and attach the blade assembly by turning it anti-clockwise until tight. Wrap the seal ring around the lid, place the lid on the jar, and insert the measuring cup by fitting its projections into the lid slots and turning clockwise. Finally, place the assembled jar onto the motor unit aligning the strip on the jar bottom.

What is the pulse (T) function and how do I use it?

The T position on the speed knob is for quick or delicate blending. Turn the knob to T and hold for a few seconds, then release; the knob automatically returns to 0. Repeat until desired consistency is achieved.

Can I blend hot liquids in this blender?

No, never use boiling liquids. Hot liquids can be ejected due to sudden steaming. Always allow hot liquids to cool before blending.

How do I clean the blender?

Unplug the blender. Rinse the jar with warm soapy water and pulse on T for a few seconds. Disassemble all detachable parts. Wash the jar, lid, measuring cup, seal rings, and blade assembly by hand or in dishwasher (temperature ≤ 70°C). Do not immerse the blade assembly in water; brush it clean.
