Loading the Vessel
DO NOT blend without ingredients or without lid. DO NOT go past MAX FILL line when loading vessel.
- Start by adding liquid up to the MIN LIQUID line (175ml).
- Next add fresh fruits.
- Then add leafy greens.
- Finish off with ice or frozen ingredients.
- Then add dry or sticky ingredients like protein powders, nut butters and seeds.
PREP TIPS: For best results, cut ingredients into 2.5cm pieces. Place frozen ingredients in the cup last.
Blending Instructions
- Install vessel by aligning the arrow on the back of the vessel with the arrow on the back of the base. Turn unit on by pressing the power button until the LED icon illuminates.
- Add ingredients, starting with liquids then solid ingredients. If using ice, always add to the vessel last. Secure the lid onto the vessel.
- Blend: Press the Start/Stop button. The unit will run for 30 seconds. To stop the program sooner, press the Start/Stop button again.
- When blending is complete, press the power button to turn the unit off.
NOTE: When drinking or when blade function is not in use, turn the blender OFF using the power button. Unintentional blade activation can occur when the lid is off.
Cleaning Instructions
After blending, rinse vessel, lid, and blade assembly under warm water.
To clean, add warm water up to MIN LIQUID line, then add 1 small drop of washing up liquid. Securely attach the lid and blend. Empty contents and rinse under warm water.
Deeper Clean
Both vessel and lid are top-rack dishwasher safe. These parts should NOT be cleaned with a heavy cycle.
After disassembling the vessel and lid, rinse blades and use a dish washing utensil to clean blades. Wipe motor base with a clean, damp cloth. Motor base is water resistant, HOWEVER the motor base is NOT dishwasher safe. DO NOT submerge base in water.
