Setup
- Initial Charge: Fully charge the blender before its first use. Connect the provided USB-C cable to the charging port on the motor base and to a compatible USB power source. The indicator light will show charging status. Do not charge if the port is wet.
- Assembly: Ensure the blending cup is clean. Align the cup with the motor base and twist clockwise until it is securely locked into place.
Operating Instructions
The blender features two operating modes: Pulse and Blend.
- Prepare Ingredients: Cut fruits and vegetables into small pieces (approximately 1 inch or smaller) to ensure smooth blending. Add liquids first, then softer ingredients, and finally harder ingredients. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
- Secure Lid: Place the lid securely onto the blending cup.
- Blending:
- Blend Mode: Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to start continuous blending. The blender will run for a set cycle or until stopped manually.
- Pulse Mode: Press the power button once for short bursts of blending. This is ideal for crushing ice or achieving desired consistency.
- Enjoy: Once blending is complete, turn off the blender, remove the lid, and enjoy your fresh beverage directly from the cup.
