Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Wash: Before first use, wash the 20oz high cup, lid, and blade assembly with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The motor body should only be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
3. Assemble Blade: Ensure the 4 stainless steel blades are securely attached to the base of the high cup.
4. Place on Base: Place the assembled cup onto the motor body. Ensure it is properly aligned and locked into place for safe operation. The blender features a safety lock mechanism; it will only function when the cup is correctly secured.
5. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a standard 120V AC outlet.

Operating Instructions

The SIMPLUS Personal Blender features a convenient one-touch operation for easy blending.

1. Add Ingredients: Place your desired ingredients into the 20oz high cup. Do not fill it too full to avoid spills. For best results with frozen fruits or ice, ensure there is sufficient liquid to cover the blades.
2. Secure Lid: Place the lid firmly onto the cup.
3. Attach to Base: Twist the cup onto the power base until it locks securely in place. The blender will not operate if the cup is not correctly locked.
4. Blend: Press the single button on the front of the motor body to start blending. For optimal results and to prevent motor strain, use short bursts, especially when blending harder ingredients like ice or frozen fruit. Do not continuously press for more than 1 minute.
5. Add During Blending: If you need to add ingredients while blending, carefully remove the small center cap from the lid and add items through the opening. Replace the cap immediately.
6. Stop Blending: Release the button to stop the blending process.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Keeping your SIMPLUS Personal Blender clean is effortless.

1. Immediate Rinse: After each use, detach the cup from the motor base. Rinse the jar, blades, and lid with clean water to remove food residues.
2. Self-Cleaning Function: For a quick clean, add warm water and a drop of dish soap to the cup. Secure the lid and attach it to the motor base. Press the blend button for a few seconds to activate the self-cleaning process. Rinse thoroughly afterward.
3. Hand Wash: The jar, blades, and lid can be washed by hand with warm, soapy water. Use a brush to safely clean around the blades.
4. Motor Body: Wipe the motor body with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor body in water or any other liquid.
5. Storage: Store the blender in a dry place. Its slim design allows for easy storage in small spaces.

Troubleshooting

Here are some common questions and solutions for your blender:

• Q1: What if the blender doesn't work?

  1. Check whether the side buckle between the cup body and the machine is in place; otherwise, it will not work.

  2. When the plug is removed from the stripping board, make sure that it is fully inserted and does not shake.

• Q2: What if the blade doesn't stir?

  1. The cooking mechanism for fruit and vegetable juice needs to add water, generally about 150mL, and ingredients cannot be directly put into the food ingredients without liquid.

  2. Ingredients need to be cut into small pieces (1-1.5cm in size); large ingredients do not work.
• Q3: Can I keep pushing the button?

  It is best not to. The machine power is low, the switch needs to be clicked, and continuous pressing cannot exceed 1 minute.

• Q4: Can the blender be disassembled and cleaned?

  You cannot remove the mixing blade. It can only be washed with water; otherwise, it is not easy to reinstall, which may cause the machine to not work.
