Important Safety Instructions

Please read all instructions carefully before using the TRU Hydration Blender. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

• Always ensure the lid is securely fastened before operating the blender.
• Do not immerse the motor base (lid with integrated blade) in water or other liquids. Clean with a damp cloth only.
• Keep hands and utensils out of the blending cup while blending to prevent injury.
• Do not blend hot liquids, as pressure buildup may cause the lid to eject and result in burns.
• Avoid blending hard ingredients such as whole nuts, coffee beans, or frozen solid fruits without sufficient liquid, as this may damage the blades or motor.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Only use the provided USB charging cable.
• Unplug the blender from the power source when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning.

Included Components:

• Lid with Integrated Blade: Contains the motor, battery, control button, and blending blades.
• Blending Cup: The 10-ounce capacity container for ingredients.
• USB Charging Cord: For recharging the blender's internal battery.

Setup

Initial Charging:

1. Before first use, fully charge your TRU Hydration Blender.
2. Connect the provided USB charging cord to the charging port on the lid/motor base.
3. Plug the other end of the USB cord into a compatible USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer USB port, power bank).
4. The indicator light will show charging status (refer to specific light indicators in your product's quick start guide if available). A full charge typically takes 2-3 hours.
5. Once fully charged, disconnect the USB cord.

Assembly:

1. Ensure the blending cup is clean and dry.
2. Place your desired ingredients into the blending cup. Do not exceed the 10-ounce capacity fill line.
3. Align the lid with the blending cup and twist clockwise until it is securely tightened. The blender will not operate if the lid is not properly secured.

Operating Instructions

Blending:

1. After assembling the blender with ingredients, ensure it is placed on a stable, flat surface.
2. Press the single power button located on the lid once to start the blending cycle.
3. For optimal blending, you may gently shake the blender during operation to help mix ingredients.
4. To stop blending, press the power button once again. The blending cycle will also automatically stop after a preset time (typically 30-60 seconds) to conserve battery and prevent overheating.
5. Once blending is complete, carefully unscrew the lid and enjoy your fresh beverage directly from the cup or pour into another container.

Tips for Best Results:

• Cut fruits and vegetables into small pieces (approximately 1 inch or smaller) before blending.
• Always add liquid (water, milk, juice, etc.) first, followed by soft ingredients, then harder ingredients or ice.
• Do not overfill the cup beyond the 10-ounce capacity.
• For frozen fruits, allow them to thaw slightly or add sufficient liquid to ensure smooth blending.

Maintenance

Cleaning:

• Immediate Cleaning: After each use, rinse the blending cup and lid immediately to prevent food residue from drying.
• Cup Cleaning: The blending cup can be washed with warm soapy water or placed in the dishwasher (top rack recommended).
• Lid/Blade Assembly Cleaning: DO NOT immerse the lid/blade assembly in water. Wipe the exterior of the lid with a damp cloth. For the blades, add a small amount of water and a drop of dish soap to the cup, reattach the lid, and run the blender for a few seconds. Rinse the inside of the lid and blades carefully under running water, avoiding the charging port and control button area. Use a brush if necessary to clean around the blades.
• Ensure all parts are thoroughly dry before storing.

Storage:

Store the TRU Hydration Blender in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the battery is charged periodically if stored for extended periods to maintain battery health.
