Setup and Safety

Before first use, wash all removable parts (cups, lids, blades, strainer) with warm, soapy water. Ensure the motor base is unplugged before assembly or disassembly.

Assembly:

1. Place the motor base on a clean, dry, and stable surface. The suction cup base provides stability during operation.
2. Select the appropriate cup (40 oz pitcher, 17 oz high cup, or 10 oz low cup) and blade attachment (cross blade for blending, slotted blade for grinding).
3. Fill the cup with your desired ingredients. Do not exceed the MAX fill line.
4. Securely attach the blade assembly to the open end of the cup by twisting it clockwise until tight.
5. Align the cup with the motor base, ensuring the tabs on the cup align with the slots on the base.
6. Push down on the cup and twist clockwise until it locks securely into place. The blender will not operate unless the cup is properly locked.

Safety Precautions:

• Always ensure the cup and blade assembly are securely attached to the motor base before operating.
• Do not operate the blender continuously for more than 1 minute to prevent overheating. Allow a 10-minute cool-down period between cycles.
• Avoid blending hot liquids, as pressure buildup can cause the container to burst.
• Keep hands and utensils out of the blender while it is operating.
• The blender is equipped with overheating protection. If the motor stops, unplug the unit and let it cool down before resuming use.
• Do not overload the appliance. Refer to the maximum fill lines on the cups.

Operating Instructions

The Sangcon SBL360ABC offers two speed settings and a pulse function for precise control over your blending and grinding tasks.

Blending (Smoothies, Shakes, Sauces):

1. Use the 40 oz pitcher or 17 oz high cup with the cross blade attachment.
2. Add ingredients, ensuring liquids are added first for smoother blending.
3. Securely attach the blade and cup to the motor base as described in the Setup section.
4. Plug in the blender.
5. Turn the dial to '1' for lower speed (suitable for vegetables and fruits) or '2' for higher speed (for hard fruits and nuts).
6. For quick bursts or to break down tougher ingredients, turn the dial to 'P' (Pulse) and hold, then release.
7. Blend until desired consistency is achieved.
8. Turn the dial to 'O' (Off) and unplug the unit before removing the cup.

Grinding (Coffee Beans, Spices, Nuts):

1. Use the 10 oz low cup with the slotted blade attachment.
2. Add dry ingredients for grinding.
3. Securely attach the blade and cup to the motor base.
4. Plug in the blender.
5. Use the 'P' (Pulse) function for short bursts to achieve desired grind consistency. Avoid continuous operation to prevent overheating.
6. Turn the dial to 'O' (Off) and unplug the unit before removing the cup.

Juicing with Strainer:

1. For making juices without pulp, insert the strainer into the 40 oz pitcher before adding ingredients.
2. Add fruits or vegetables and liquid into the pitcher with the strainer.
3. Securely attach the cross blade and pitcher to the motor base.
4. Blend on desired speed. The strainer will separate the pulp from the juice.
5. Turn the dial to 'O' (Off) and unplug the unit before removing the cup.

Lid Usage:

• The 17 oz high cup comes with a sip-through lid for convenient on-the-go consumption.
• The 10 oz low cup and 17 oz high cup also include sealing covers for storing blended or ground ingredients in the refrigerator.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your Sangcon blender.

Cleaning Instructions:

• Always unplug the motor base before cleaning.
• Detach the blade assembly from the cup.
• Rinse the blades, cups, and lids with tap water immediately after use to prevent food from drying on.
• For thorough cleaning, all removable parts (cups, lids, blades, strainer) are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended).
• Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
• For quick cleaning of the pitcher, add a small amount of water and a drop of dish soap, then use the pulse function for a few seconds. Rinse thoroughly.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Sangcon blender, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Blender does not turn on: Ensure the unit is properly plugged into a working power outlet. Verify that the cup and blade assembly are securely locked onto the motor base.
• Motor stops during operation: The blender may have activated its overheating protection. Unplug the unit and allow it to cool down for at least 10 minutes before attempting to use it again. Reduce the load or add more liquid if ingredients are too thick.
• Ingredients are not blending smoothly: Add more liquid. Use the pulse function to break down larger pieces. Ensure the correct blade is used for the task (cross blade for blending, slotted blade for grinding).
• Leaking from the cup: Ensure the blade assembly is tightly screwed onto the cup. Check that the rubber gasket is properly seated and not damaged.
• Unusual noise or odor: Immediately turn off and unplug the blender. Check for any obstructions or damage to the blades or motor. Contact customer support if the issue persists.
