4. Setup and Assembly

Before first use, ensure all packaging materials are removed and clean all parts that will come into contact with food.

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Clean: Wash the glass jar, blade assembly, lid, and measuring cup in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The glass jar, lid, and blade assembly are also dishwasher safe.
3. Assemble Blade: Securely attach the blade assembly to the bottom of the glass jar by twisting it clockwise until it is firmly locked. Ensure the seal is properly seated to prevent leaks.
4. Place Jar on Base: Place the assembled glass jar onto the motor base. The blender features a safety system that prevents operation unless the jar is correctly positioned and locked into place. You may hear a click when it is properly seated.

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for optimal blending results:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Cut solid ingredients into small pieces (approximately 2-3 cm) to facilitate blending.
2. Add Ingredients: Place ingredients into the glass jar. Do not exceed the maximum fill line indicated on the jar. For best results, add liquids first, then soft ingredients, followed by harder ingredients and ice.
3. Secure Lid: Place the lid firmly onto the glass jar. Ensure the measuring cup is inserted into the lid's filling spout if not adding ingredients during blending.
4. Connect Power: Plug the blender into a suitable electrical outlet (230V AC).
5. Select Speed: Turn the control dial to select your desired speed. The blender offers 2 speeds for various blending needs, plus a Turbo function for maximum power bursts.
