4. Operating Instructions
The Bennett Read 1000W Nutrition Extractor is designed for simple, one-touch operation.
- Power On: Ensure the appliance is plugged into a suitable power outlet.
- Blend: Once the cup is securely locked onto the motor base, the extractor will begin blending automatically. The 1000W motor and 6-blade assembly will pulverize ingredients using Tornado-tech cyclonic action.
- Observe: Blend until your desired consistency is achieved. For best results, blend in short bursts if needed, or continuously for up to 60 seconds.
- Stop: To stop blending, simply twist the cup counter-clockwise and lift it off the motor base. The motor will stop immediately.
- Serve: Unscrew the blade assembly from the cup. You can then attach a Sip & Seal lid for on-the-go consumption or a storage lid.
Blending Tips:
- For smoother results, add liquids first, then soft ingredients, and finally harder ingredients or ice.
- Do not blend hot liquids as pressure buildup can cause the cup to burst.
- If the motor stalls, unplug the unit, remove the cup, and shake the contents to redistribute. Reduce the amount of ingredients if necessary.
- The appliance features adjustable speed control, which is automatically managed by the unit for optimal extraction.
