4. Setup
Before using your blender for the first time, follow these steps:
- Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and inspect the blender for any damage.
- Clean: Wash the glass jug, lid, and blade assembly in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The motor unit should only be wiped with a damp cloth.
- Assemble Blade: Ensure the blade assembly is securely attached to the bottom of the glass jug.
- Place Jug: Position the assembled glass jug onto the motor unit, ensuring it is seated correctly and locked into place if applicable.
- Placement: Place the blender on a stable, flat, and dry surface, away from the edge of the counter.
- Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet (220-240V, 50-60Hz).
5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for safe and effective blending:
- Add Ingredients: Place your desired ingredients into the glass jug. Do not exceed the maximum fill line (1.75 L). For best results, add liquids first, then soft ingredients, and finally harder ingredients or ice.
- Secure Lid: Place the lid firmly onto the glass jug. Ensure the lid is properly sealed before starting the blender.
- Select Speed: Turn the control dial to select one of the 6 available speed settings. Start with a lower speed for larger or harder ingredients and gradually increase as needed.
- Pulse Function: For short bursts of power or to achieve a coarser chop, turn the dial to the 'Pulse' setting and release. Repeat as necessary.
- Ice Crushing: The blender features an 'Ice Crush' function. Use this setting for crushing ice cubes. Do not overload the jug with ice.
- Blending Time: Do not operate the blender continuously for more than 1 minute. Allow the motor to rest for a few minutes between cycles to prevent overheating.
- Switch Off: Once blending is complete, turn the control dial to the 'OFF' position before removing the lid or jug.
- Pour: Carefully remove the lid and pour out the blended contents.
6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your blender.
- Unplug: Always unplug the blender from the power outlet before cleaning.
- Disassemble: Carefully remove the glass jug from the motor unit. Detach the blade assembly from the bottom of the jug.
- Clean Jug and Lid: Wash the glass jug and lid in warm, soapy water. They can also be cleaned in a dishwasher (top rack recommended).
- Clean Blade Assembly: Exercise extreme caution when cleaning the blades as they are very sharp. Use a brush to remove food particles. Rinse under running water. Do not immerse the entire blade assembly in water if it has non-waterproof components.
- Clean Motor Unit: Wipe the motor unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor unit in water or any other liquid.
- Dry: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing the blender.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your blender, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Blender does not start:
- Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.
- Check that the glass jug is correctly seated on the motor unit.
- Verify the control dial is set to a speed setting or 'Pulse', not 'OFF'.
- Ingredients not blending smoothly:
- Add more liquid if the mixture is too thick.
- Cut larger ingredients into smaller pieces.
- Use the 'Pulse' function to break down stubborn ingredients.
- Increase the speed setting.
- Blender stops during operation:
- The motor may have overheated. Unplug the blender and let it cool down for at least 15-20 minutes before restarting.
