• 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 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 service for examination, repair, or adjustment.

Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Clean: Before first use, wash the blending cups, flip top lids, handle ring, comfort lip ring, and blade assembly in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The motor base should be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor base in water.
3. Prepare Ingredients: Cut ingredients into small pieces (approximately 1 inch) to ensure optimal blending. Add liquids first, then soft ingredients, followed by harder ingredients and ice. Do not exceed the maximum fill line on the blending cup.
4. Assemble Blending Cup:
   • Place your prepared ingredients into either the 32 oz or 27 oz blending cup.
   • Screw the 6-prong stainless steel blending blade assembly onto the open end of the blending cup. Ensure it is tightened securely to prevent leaks.
5. Position on Motor Base: Place the assembled blending cup, with the blade assembly facing down, onto the motor base. Align the tabs on the cup with the slots on the motor base.

Operating Instructions

1. Connect Power: Plug the motor base into a standard 110/120 Volt electrical outlet.
2. Start Blending:
   • To begin blending, gently push down on the blending cup and twist it clockwise to lock it into place on the motor base. The blender will start automatically.
   • For continuous blending, keep the cup twisted and locked.
   • For pulse blending, push down on the cup without twisting to lock. Release to stop.
3. Blending Hot Liquids: When blending hot liquids, ensure the pressure release valve on the blade assembly is clear. Blend in small batches and exercise caution. The blender features an auto shut-off mechanism for safety.
4. Stop Blending: To stop blending, twist the cup counter-clockwise and lift it off the motor base. The motor will automatically shut off.
5. Serve: Unscrew the blade assembly from the blending cup. You can then attach a flip top lid, handle ring, or comfort lip ring to the cup for immediate consumption or portability.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your Omega MeGo Personal Blender.

• Cleaning the Blending Cups and Lids: The BPA-free blending cups and flip top lids are dishwasher-safe. Alternatively, wash them by hand with warm, soapy water.
• Cleaning the Blade Assembly: Carefully wash the blade assembly by hand with warm, soapy water. Use a brush to clean around the blades. Exercise extreme caution as the blades are sharp. Do not put the blade assembly in the dishwasher as this may dull the blades over time.
• Cleaning the Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
• Storage: Store the blender and its components in a clean, dry place when not in use.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your blender, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Blender does not start:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Verify that the blending cup is correctly assembled with the blade and securely twisted and locked onto the motor base. The blender has a safety interlock mechanism.
• Ingredients are not blending smoothly:
  • Add more liquid to the blending cup.
  • Reduce the amount of ingredients in the cup.
  • Cut ingredients into smaller pieces.
  • Use the pulse function to break down larger chunks.
• Blender leaks during operation:
  • Ensure the blade assembly is tightly screwed onto the blending cup.
  • Check the gasket (seal) within the blade assembly for proper placement and damage. Replace if necessary.
  • Do not overfill the blending cup beyond the maximum fill line.
• Motor smells or overheats:
  • This can occur with heavy loads or prolonged blending. Unplug the blender and allow it to cool down for at least 15-20 minutes.
  • Reduce the load by removing some ingredients or adding more liquid.
