Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Cut solid ingredients into small pieces (approx. 2-3 cm). For best results, add liquids first, then soft ingredients, followed by harder ingredients and ice. Do not exceed the maximum fill line (1.5L) indicated on the blending jar.
2. Secure Lid: Place the lid firmly onto the blending jar. Ensure the filler cap is inserted into the lid opening.
3. Select Speed: Turn the control dial to your desired speed setting (1 or 2).
   • Speed 1: For lighter blending tasks, such as mixing soft fruits or liquids.
   • Speed 2: For tougher ingredients, thicker mixtures, or faster blending.
4. Pulse Function: For short bursts of power, turn the dial to the "P" (Pulse) position and release. This is ideal for chopping, crushing ice, or when you need more control over the blending consistency. Do not hold the Pulse function for extended periods.
5. Blending Time: Do not operate the blender continuously for more than 60 seconds. Allow the appliance to rest for a few minutes between cycles to prevent overheating.
6. Adding Ingredients During Blending: For adding ingredients while blending, remove the filler cap from the lid and carefully add items through the opening. Replace the filler cap immediately.
7. Finish Blending: Once desired consistency is reached, turn the control dial back to the "0" (off) position. Unplug the blender before removing the blending jar.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your blender.

1. Unplug: Always ensure the blender is unplugged from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. Disassemble: Remove the blending jar from the motor base. Carefully separate the lid and blade assembly from the jar.
3. Jar, Lid, and Blades: These parts are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, wash them in warm, soapy water using a brush for the blades to ensure thorough cleaning. Rinse well and dry completely. Handle blades with extreme care as they are sharp.
4. Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the motor base in water.
5. Storage: Store the assembled blender in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
