Operating Instructions
- Power On: Plug the blender into a standard electrical outlet. The indicator light on the motor base will illuminate.

- Continuous Blend: Press and hold the power button for a continuous blend. The blender will automatically run for a 1-minute cycle and then stop. Release the button at any time to stop blending sooner.
- Monitor Blending: Observe the consistency of your blend. If ingredients are stuck, remove the vessel from the base, shake gently, and reattach to continue blending.
- Finish Blending: Once desired consistency is achieved, release the power button (if holding) or wait for the 1-minute cycle to complete. Remove the blending vessel from the motor base by twisting counter-clockwise.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BEAST Mini Blender:
- Immediate Cleaning: Clean all parts immediately after each use to prevent food residue from drying and hardening.
- Blending Vessels and Lids: These components are dishwasher-safe (top rack only) or can be hand-washed with warm, soapy water.
- Blade Assembly: Hand-wash the blade assembly carefully with warm, soapy water. Use the included cleaning brush to reach under the blades and around the gasket.
- Gasket Removal (for thorough cleaning): Some users have noted that the gasket on the blade attachment can be removed for thorough cleaning. Use a non-sharp object (like the loop of a straw or a fork handle) to gently pry back the L-shaped gasket from the plastic lip. Ensure it is re-seated correctly after cleaning to prevent leaks.
- Motor Base: Wipe the motor base clean with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
- Straws: Use the provided straw cleaning brush to thoroughly clean the inside of the reusable straws.
- Drying and Storage: Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing. Store the blender in a dry place.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your BEAST Mini Blender, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Blender does not turn on. | Not plugged in; vessel not properly seated; overheating. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Twist the blending vessel clockwise until it locks into place. If the unit overheated, allow it to cool down for 15-20 minutes before attempting to blend again. |
| Ingredients are not blending smoothly. | Too little liquid; too many ingredients; ingredients are too large or hard. | Add more liquid. Reduce the amount of ingredients. Cut harder ingredients into smaller pieces. Use the pulse function to break down stubborn ingredients. |
| Leakage from the blending vessel. | Blade assembly not tightened; gasket improperly seated or damaged. | Ensure the blade assembly is securely tightened onto the vessel. Check the gasket for proper seating and any signs of damage. Replace if necessary. |
| Unpleasant odor or taste from the blender. | Food residue trapped in gasket or hard-to-reach areas. | Thoroughly clean all components, especially the blade assembly and gasket. Refer to the "Maintenance and Cleaning" section for gasket removal instructions. |
