Setup and Assembly

Before first use, wash all parts that will come into contact with food (jug, lid, blade assembly, attachments) in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry.

Assembling the Blender Jug:

1. Place the multi-blade assembly into the bottom opening of the blender jug. Ensure it is securely seated.
2. Attach the sealing ring and then screw the base collar onto the jug, tightening firmly to prevent leaks.
3. Place the assembled jug onto the motor base, aligning the jug's base with the motor base's coupling. Turn clockwise until it locks into place.
4. Add your ingredients to the jug. Do not exceed the MAX fill line.
5. Securely place the lid onto the jug. Ensure the measuring cup insert is in place in the lid opening.

Assembling the Grinding Mill:

1. Place the grinding blade assembly into the grinding mill cup.
2. Add ingredients to the grinding mill cup.
3. Screw the grinding mill base onto the cup, ensuring it is tightly sealed.
4. Invert the assembled grinding mill and place it onto the motor base, aligning and turning clockwise to lock.

Operating Instructions

Ensure the appliance is properly assembled and plugged into a suitable power outlet.

Using the Blender:

1. With the jug securely on the motor base and lid in place, turn the control dial to your desired speed setting (1 or 2).
2. For short bursts of power, turn the dial to the 'P' (Pulse) setting and release. This is ideal for chopping or crushing ice.
3. Blend until desired consistency is achieved. Do not operate continuously for more than 60 seconds. Allow the motor to rest for at least 1 minute between cycles.
4. Once blending is complete, turn the dial to '0' (Off) and unplug the appliance.
5. Carefully remove the jug from the motor base and pour out contents.

Using the Whipping Attachment:

The whipping attachment is designed for light tasks such as whipping cream, egg whites, or mixing thin batters.

1. Replace the multi-blade assembly with the whipping attachment in the blender jug.
2. Add ingredients suitable for whipping (e.g., cold cream, egg whites).
3. Secure the lid and place the jug on the motor base.
4. Select a low speed setting (1) and gradually increase if necessary. Whip until desired consistency.

Using the Grinding Mill:

The grinding mill is perfect for grinding dry ingredients like coffee beans, nuts, or spices.

1. Assemble the grinding mill as described in the Setup section.
2. Place the assembled grinding mill onto the motor base.
3. Select speed setting 2 or use the 'P' (Pulse) function for short bursts.
4. Grind until desired fineness is achieved.
5. Turn the dial to '0' and unplug. Carefully remove the grinding mill, invert, and open to access ground ingredients.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your blender. Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.

Cleaning the Blender Jug and Attachments:

• Quick Clean: After use, fill the jug halfway with warm water and a drop of dish soap. Secure the lid and run the blender on speed 1 for 10-20 seconds. Rinse thoroughly.
• Deep Clean: Disassemble the jug, blade assembly, lid, and any used attachments. Wash all parts in warm soapy water. Use a brush for hard-to-reach areas around the blades (handle with extreme care as blades are sharp). Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.
• The glass jug and attachments are generally dishwasher safe on the top rack, but hand washing is recommended for longevity.

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.

Storage:

Store the blender in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew.
