4. Operating Instructions

Operating your KOIOS BL309B Smoothie Blender Base is straightforward:

Prepare Ingredients: Cut solid ingredients into small pieces (approximately 1 inch or 2.5 cm) for optimal blending. Add liquids first, then soft ingredients, and finally harder ingredients or ice.
Fill Cup: Add ingredients to the 22oz blending cup. Ensure the total volume does not exceed the MAX fill line indicated on the cup. Overfilling can lead to leakage or poor blending performance.
Secure Blade: Screw the blade assembly tightly onto the blending cup. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent leaks.
Place on Base: Invert the cup and blade assembly and place it onto the blender base. Twist clockwise until it clicks securely into position. The blender will not operate unless the cup is correctly locked.
Blend: Press the power button or activate the blending function as per your model's specific controls. For continuous blending, hold the cup down or twist to lock. For pulse blending, press and release the cup or button repeatedly. Blend until desired consistency is achieved. Typical blending times for smoothies are 30-60 seconds.
Stop Blending: Release the cup or power button to stop blending.
Remove Cup: Twist the cup counter-clockwise to unlock it from the base, then lift it off.
Serve: Unscrew the blade assembly from the cup. You can drink directly from the cup or pour the contents into another container.

Important Notes:

Do not blend for more than 60 seconds continuously to prevent motor overheating. Allow the motor to cool down for several minutes between blending cycles if needed.
Never blend hot liquids, as pressure buildup can cause the cup to burst and result in injury.
If the blender stalls, unplug it immediately, remove the cup, and clear any obstructions before attempting to blend again.
