1. Important Safety Information
Please read all instructions carefully before using your BEKO Blender. Retain this manual for future reference.
- Electrical Safety: Ensure the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to your local mains voltage before connecting. Always unplug the blender from the power outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning. Do not immerse the motor unit, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
- Blade Safety: The blades are extremely sharp. Handle them with extreme care, especially when removing, cleaning, or emptying the jug.
- Operation Safety: Never operate the blender without the lid securely in place. Do not attempt to defeat the safety interlock mechanism. Do not overload the blender; refer to the maximum fill lines on the jug. Allow the motor to cool down if it overheats.
- Usage Restrictions: This appliance is intended for household use only. Do not use it outdoors. Do not blend extremely hot liquids, as pressure buildup can cause the lid to eject. Do not blend dry ingredients without adding sufficient liquid.

3. Setup and First Use
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and inspect the blender for any damage. Keep packaging for future storage or disposal.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the glass jug, lid, and blade assembly in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry all parts completely. The jug and blade assembly are dishwasher-safe. Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth.
- Assembly: Place the blade assembly securely into the bottom of the glass jug. Ensure it is tightened properly to prevent leaks. Place the assembled jug onto the motor base, aligning it correctly until it clicks into place.
- Lid Placement: Place the lid firmly onto the jug. Ensure the measuring cap is inserted into the lid opening. The blender will not operate unless the jug and lid are correctly assembled and locked into position due to the safety interlock system.
4. Operating Instructions
Your BEKO Blender offers versatile blending options with its adjustable speeds and pulse function.
- Add Ingredients: Place your desired ingredients into the glass jug. Do not exceed the maximum fill line indicated on the jug (1.75 Liters). For best results, add liquids first, then soft ingredients, and finally harder ingredients or ice.
- Secure Lid: Ensure the lid is securely placed on the jug and the measuring cap is inserted.
- Connect Power: Plug the blender into a suitable power outlet.
- Select Speed: Use the control dial on the front of the motor base to select your desired speed from 1 to 6. Start with a lower speed and gradually increase as needed.

- Pulse Function (P): For short bursts of power or to achieve a coarser consistency, turn the dial to the 'P' (Pulse) setting and hold it. Release the dial to stop. This is ideal for chopping or quick mixing.
- Ice Crushing: The blender features an IceCrush function. For best results, use the pulse function with a small amount of water or liquid to help the ice move around the blades. Do not overload with ice.
- Stability: The blender is equipped with non-slip feet to ensure stability during operation.
Important: Do not operate the blender continuously for more than 1 minute for heavy loads or 2 minutes for lighter loads. Allow a rest period of at least 10 minutes between cycles to prevent motor overheating.
5. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BEKO Blender.
- Unplug: Always unplug the blender from the power outlet before cleaning.
- Disassemble: Remove the glass jug from the motor base. Carefully unscrew the blade assembly from the bottom of the jug. Remove the lid and measuring cap.
- Cleaning Removable Parts: The glass jug, lid, and blade assembly are dishwasher-safe. Alternatively, wash them in warm, soapy water. Use a brush to clean the blades carefully due to their sharpness. Rinse thoroughly.
