Operating Instructions

The Sinotech GD025 Blender offers two speed settings and a pulse function for versatile blending.

Figure 4: Control Panel. This image displays the control knob with settings '0' (off), '1' (low speed), '2' (high speed), and the 'Pulse Auto-Clean' button.

1. Adding Ingredients: Place all desired ingredients into the carafe. For best results, add liquids first, then soft ingredients, and finally harder ingredients or ice.
2. Selecting Speed:
   • Turn the control knob to position '1' for low speed blending.
   • Turn the control knob to position '2' for high speed blending.
   • To stop blending, turn the control knob back to position '0'.
3. Using the Pulse Function:
   • The pulse function provides short bursts of power at maximum speed. This is ideal for chopping, crushing ice, or for quick blending tasks.
   • Press and hold the "Pulse Auto-Clean" button for short intervals. Release the button to stop.
4. Adding Ingredients During Operation: If you need to add ingredients while the blender is running, carefully remove the small removable cap from the center of the lid and add ingredients through the opening. Replace the cap immediately after adding.
5. After Use: Once blending is complete, turn the control knob to '0' and unplug the appliance from the power outlet.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your blender.

1. Immediate Cleaning: For quick cleaning of the carafe after use, add a small amount of warm water and a drop of dish soap to the carafe. Secure the lid and press the "Pulse Auto-Clean" button for a few seconds. This will help dislodge food particles.
2. Thorough Cleaning:
   • Unplug the blender from the power outlet.
   • Remove the carafe from the motor base.
