4. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for safe and effective blending:
- Prepare Ingredients: Cut fruits and vegetables into small pieces (approximately 1-2 cm).
- Fill Bottle: Place your ingredients into the blending bottle. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. For best results, add liquids first, then soft ingredients, and finally harder ingredients.
- Attach Blade Assembly: Screw the blade assembly firmly onto the open end of the blending bottle. Ensure it is tight to prevent leaks.
- Place on Base: Invert the bottle and place it onto the motor base, aligning the tabs on the bottle with the slots on the base.
- Blend: Plug in the blender. Press down on the blending bottle to activate the motor. Hold down for continuous blending. Release pressure to stop.

Important Blending Notes:
- Blend in short bursts (e.g., 10-15 seconds) for better control and to prevent motor strain.
- Do not blend continuously for more than 30-45 seconds. If more blending is needed, allow the motor to rest for 10 minutes before resuming.
- If ingredients are stuck, remove the bottle, shake it, and re-attach to continue blending.
On-the-Go Use:
- After blending, unplug the appliance.
- Remove the blending bottle from the motor base.
- Unscrew the blade assembly and replace it with the drinking lid.
- Close the flip-top lid securely. Your drink is now ready to take with you.

- Clean Bottle and Lid: Wash the blending bottle and drinking lid with warm, soapy water. A bottle brush may be helpful for thorough cleaning. Rinse well.
- Clean Blade Assembly: Carefully wash the blade assembly with warm, soapy water. Use a brush to clean around the blades. The blades are sharp, so handle with extreme caution. The rubber seal can be removed for more thorough cleaning if necessary, then re-seated correctly.

- Dry: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing.
Storage: Store the blender in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
