4. Safety Information
Important Safety Precautions:
- Gasket Inspection: Prior to each use, carefully inspect the gasket to ensure it is not damaged, torn, or improperly seated. A damaged or misplaced gasket can lead to leaks.
- Proper Seating: Ensure the gasket is completely and securely seated within the cross blade unit before attaching it to the blender cup.
- Overheating Prevention: To prevent motor overheating, do not operate the blender continuously for more than 1 minute. After 1 minute of continuous blending, stop the appliance for 5 minutes to allow it to cool down. After 5 such cycles, allow the appliance to rest for a longer period to cool completely.
- Blade Sharpness: The blades are sharp. Handle the blade assembly with extreme care to avoid injury.
- Child Safety: Keep the blender and its components out of reach of children.

5. Setup & Installation
Follow these steps to replace the blade base and gasket:
- Unplug the Blender: Always ensure the blender is unplugged from the power outlet before handling any components.
- Remove Old Blade Assembly: If replacing an existing blade, unscrew the old blade assembly from the blender cup.
- Inspect Gasket: If the gasket is separate, carefully place the silicone gasket into the groove on the new 6-fin blade assembly. Ensure it is seated evenly and securely. If the gasket is pre-installed, verify its position.
- Attach New Blade Assembly: Place your ingredients into the blender cup. Screw the new 6-fin blade assembly onto the open end of the blender cup. Turn clockwise until it is tightly secured.
- Secure to Motor Base: Invert the blender cup with the attached blade assembly and place it onto the blender's motor base. Twist the cup clockwise until it locks into place. Ensure the safety locker mechanism engages.
- Verify Stability: Gently shake the assembled unit to ensure all parts are securely connected before plugging in and operating.

7. Maintenance & Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures hygiene and prolongs the life of your blade assembly.
Cleaning Methods:
- Disassemble and Rinse:
Unplug the blender. Unscrew the blade assembly from the blender cup. Carefully remove the gasket. Rinse all disassembled parts (blade assembly, gasket, and cup) directly under running water. Use a brush if necessary to remove food residue from the blades. Ensure all soap residue is thoroughly rinsed off.
- Quick Clean (Blending Method):
After use, fill the blender cup with warm water and add a drop of dish soap. Attach the blade assembly and secure it to the motor base. Blend for 3-5 seconds. Discard the soapy water and rinse the cup and blade assembly thoroughly with clean water.
After cleaning, allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.
