Blending

1. After setup, press and hold the desired speed button:
   • LOW: Ideal for softer ingredients like fruits (e.g., bananas, peaches) and general mixing.
   • HIGH: Recommended for harder ingredients, ice, and frozen fruits to achieve a smoother consistency.
2. Blend in short bursts (e.g., 10-15 seconds) rather than continuously. This helps prevent overheating and ensures thorough blending.
3. Do not operate the blender for more than 1 minute at a time. If more blending is required, allow the motor to rest for at least 2 minutes before resuming.
4. Once blending is complete, release the button. The blender will stop.
5. Unplug the blender from the power outlet.
6. Carefully remove the container from the motor base by twisting counter-clockwise.
7. Remove the lid and pour out your blended mixture.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your BRUNO Compact Blender.

1. Unplug: Always unplug the blender from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. Disassemble: Separate the container, blade assembly, and lid from the motor base.
3. Container and Blade Assembly:
   • The glass jar (PCTG resin) and stainless steel blades are dishwasher safe.
   • For manual cleaning, rinse immediately after use. Fill the container with warm water and a drop of dish soap. Secure the lid and briefly run the blender on the LOW setting for a few seconds to self-clean. Rinse thoroughly.
   • Use a brush to clean around the blades carefully.
4. Lid: Wash the lid and measuring cap with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
5. Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water or other liquids.
