Operating Instructions

Ensure the blender is properly assembled and plugged into a suitable power outlet before operation.

Speed Settings

The GDOR blender features a control knob with three settings: Pulse (P), Speed 1, and Speed 2.

• P (Pulse): Turn the knob to 'P' and hold for short bursts of high-speed blending. This is ideal for crushing ice, chopping hard ingredients, or when you need quick control over consistency. Release the knob to stop.
• 1 (Low Speed): Turn the knob to '1' for continuous low-speed blending. Suitable for soft fruits, vegetables, and mixing thinner liquids.
• 2 (Fast Speed): Turn the knob to '2' for continuous high-speed blending. Use for tougher ingredients, frozen fruits, and achieving smoother textures.
• 0 (Off): The central position turns the blender off. Always return the knob to '0' before plugging in or unplugging the appliance, or when changing containers.

Blending Tips

• Always add liquids first, then soft ingredients, followed by harder ingredients and ice.
• For best results with ice crushing, use the 'P' (Pulse) setting in short bursts.
• If ingredients get stuck, turn off the blender, remove the container, and use a spatula to dislodge them. Never use your hands or utensils while the blender is running.
• Do not continuously run the blender for more than 60 seconds at a time. Allow a short break between cycles to prevent overheating.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your blender, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Blender does not turn on:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
