Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and dispose of them responsibly. Ensure all components are present and undamaged.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the glass jug, lid, and measuring cup in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth.
- Placement: Place the motor base on a stable, flat, and dry surface. Ensure there is sufficient space around the blender for ventilation.
- Assemble Jug: Place the glass jug securely onto the motor base. Ensure it is properly seated and locked into position (if applicable, check for a click or alignment marks).
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet (220 Volts).
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for safe and effective blending:
- Prepare Ingredients: Cut solid ingredients into small pieces (approximately 2-3 cm) to facilitate blending.
- Add Ingredients: Place ingredients into the glass jug. For best results, add liquids first, then soft ingredients, followed by harder ingredients and ice. Do not exceed the maximum fill line (1.5 L).
- Secure Lid: Place the lid firmly onto the glass jug and insert the measuring cup into the lid opening.
- Select Speed: Turn the control dial to the desired speed setting (1 or 2).
- Speed 1: For softer ingredients and general mixing.
- Speed 2: For harder ingredients and more intensive blending.
- Pulse Function (P): For short bursts of power, turn the dial to 'P' and hold. Release to stop. This is ideal for crushing ice or achieving a coarse chop.
- Blending: Allow the blender to run until the desired consistency is achieved. Do not operate continuously for more than 1 minute to prevent overheating. Allow a short break between cycles.
- Finish: Once blending is complete, turn the control dial to '0' (off) and unplug the appliance before removing the lid and pouring.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Blender does not start. | Not plugged in; jug not correctly seated; power outage. | Ensure plug is firmly in outlet; re-seat the glass jug securely; check power supply. |
| Ingredients are not blending smoothly. | Too little liquid; too many ingredients; ingredients too large. | Add more liquid; reduce ingredient quantity; cut ingredients into smaller pieces; use pulse function. |
| Motor smells or overheats. | Overloaded; continuous operation for too long. | Reduce load; allow blender to cool down for at least 15 minutes before resuming operation. Do not operate continuously for more than 1 minute. |
| Leakage from the bottom of the jug. | Jug not properly assembled or damaged. | Ensure the blade assembly is tightly secured to the jug (if removable); check for cracks in the jug. |
