2. Important Safety Instructions
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:
- Read all instructions before operating the blender.
- To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the motor base, cord, or plug in water or other liquids.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from the outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning.
- Avoid contact with moving parts.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact customer support for examination, repair, or adjustment.
- The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- Always operate the blender with the bottle securely locked onto the motor base.

4. Setup
Follow these steps to set up your blender for first use:
- Clean Components: Before first use, wash all removable parts (bottles, lids, blade assembly) in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The bottles and lids are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended).
- Position Motor Base: Place the motor base on a stable, flat, and dry surface.
- Ensure Unplugged: Make sure the blender is unplugged from the power outlet before assembly.
5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to blend your ingredients:
- Prepare Ingredients: Cut fruits and vegetables into small pieces (approximately 2-3 cm) to ensure optimal blending. Do not overfill the bottle beyond the maximum fill line indicated.
- Add Ingredients to Bottle: Place your desired ingredients into one of the Tritan take-away bottles. For best results, add liquids first, then soft ingredients, and finally harder ingredients or ice.
- Attach Blade Assembly: Screw the blade assembly firmly onto the open end of the bottle until it is securely tightened. Ensure there are no leaks.
- Place Bottle on Motor Base: Invert the bottle and place it onto the motor base. Align the tabs on the bottle with the slots on the motor base and twist clockwise until it locks into place. The blender will not operate unless the bottle is correctly locked.
- Blend: Plug the blender into a 220V power outlet. Press and hold the power button on the front of the motor base to start blending. The blender operates with a pulse function. Release the button to stop. Blend until the desired consistency is achieved. Do not operate continuously for more than 60 seconds to prevent overheating. Allow the motor to cool down for several minutes between blending cycles if needed.
- Remove and Enjoy: Once blending is complete, release the power button, unplug the blender, and twist the bottle counter-clockwise to unlock and remove it from the motor base. Unscrew the blade assembly and replace it with one of the hermetic lids. You can now take your smoothie on the go.
This image illustrates the three main steps: 1. Filling the bottle with ingredients, 2. Blending on the motor base, and 3. Enjoying the finished smoothie from the take-away bottles.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and hygiene of your blender.
- Unplug: Always unplug the blender from the power outlet before cleaning.
- Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
- Blade Assembly: Carefully rinse the blade assembly under running water immediately after use. Use a brush to remove any food residue. Blades are sharp; handle with extreme care. The blade assembly is not recommended for dishwasher cleaning to preserve blade sharpness.
- Bottles and Lids: The Tritan take-away bottles and hermetic lids are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended) or can be washed by hand with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
- Storage: Store the blender and its accessories in a clean, dry place.
