Jar Specific Usage

• 1.5 Litre Liquidizing Jar: Ideal for blending liquids, making milkshakes, smoothies, purees, and whipping cream.

Overload Protection

The mixer grinder is equipped with an overload protection feature. If the motor is overloaded (e.g., due to excessive ingredients or continuous use), it will automatically shut off to prevent damage. To reset, switch off the appliance, unplug it, reduce the load in the jar, wait a few minutes for the motor to cool, and then press the reset button located at the bottom of the motor unit before restarting.

Initial Use Considerations

Image 2: Important notes regarding mixer grinder operation, including expected noise levels and initial burning smell.

• Burning Smell: During the first few uses, you may experience a slight burning smell. This is normal and due to the evaporating varnish on the motor windings. It will dissipate after a few uses.
• Operating Noise: The mixer grinder operates at a noise level of approximately 80-90 dB, which is comparable to common household appliances.

For regular grinding tasks like dips, chutneys, purees, soups, smoothies, and milkshakes, a 500-watt mixer grinder is suitable. For tougher grinding tasks such as dry masala, ginger, coconut, turmeric paste, rice, and lentil batters, a mixer grinder with more than 750 watts is generally recommended.

6. Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning Jars and Lids: After each use, immediately wash the jars, lids, and blades with warm water and mild dish soap. Use a brush for thorough cleaning of blades. Rinse well and dry completely to prevent water spots and odors.
• Cleaning Motor Unit: Wipe the motor unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the motor unit in water.
• Storage: Store the mixer grinder and its accessories in a clean, dry place. Utilize the cord winding facility on the motor unit for neat storage of the power cord.
• Dishwasher Safety: The jars and blades are not dishwasher safe. Hand wash only.

7. Troubleshooting

• Appliance Not Starting:
  • Check if the power cord is securely plugged into the outlet.
  • Ensure the jar is correctly placed and locked onto the motor unit.
  • Check if the overload protection switch has tripped. If so, reset it as described in the 'Overload Protection' section.
• Motor Stops During Operation:
  • This indicates the overload protection has activated. Turn off, unplug, reduce ingredients, wait for cooling, and press the reset button.
• Excessive Noise or Vibration:
  • Ensure the jar is properly seated and locked.
  • Check if the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Verify that the blades are not obstructed or damaged.
