Speed Settings (1 & 2)

1. With the blender properly assembled and plugged in, turn the control dial clockwise to '1' for low speed or '2' for high speed.
2. Allow the blender to operate until the desired consistency is achieved.
3. To stop blending, turn the dial back to the '0' (OFF) position.

Pulse Function

The Pulse function provides short bursts of maximum power (500W) for chopping, crushing ice, or controlling consistency.

1. Turn the control dial counter-clockwise to the 'PULSE' position and hold it.
2. Release the dial to stop the pulse action. Repeat as necessary.
3. Do not hold the Pulse function for extended periods (more than 30 seconds at a time) to prevent motor overheating.

Important: Do not operate the blender continuously for more than 1 minute. Allow a rest period of at least 2 minutes between cycles to prevent motor damage.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your blender.

1. Always unplug the blender from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. Cleaning the Carafe and Lid: Remove the carafe from the motor base. Disassemble the lid. Wash the glass carafe, lid, and removable cap with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately. The blades are integrated into the carafe base; exercise extreme caution when cleaning around them due to their sharpness.
3. Cleaning the Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may scratch the surface.
