WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNING! Do not blend hot liquids. To prevent scalding, DO NOT process boiling liquids or hot ingredients in the blender. Allow hot ingredients to cool down below 40°C before placing them in the blender.

CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

IMPORTANT! To prevent damage to the electric motor, the maximum operating time is 1 minute. Allow it to rest for at least 3 minutes before using it again. After 5 cycles of operation, allow the blender (electric motor) to cool down to room temperature. Allow it to cool down for approx. 30 minutes before using it again.

Note: The appliance is incorporated with a non-self resetting thermal motor protection circuit to protect the motor from overheating. If the motor shuts OFF while in use, unplug the unit from the main power outlet. Remove the blending jar from the motor unit and free the blade of any obstructions. Allow the unit to cool down for at least 1 hour. After then, plug the unit back into mains power for normal operation.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Before first use, unpack the appliance and place all parts on a horizontal surface.
2. Ensure the Speed Selector is in the “OFF” Position, then plug into power outlet and set Speed Selector to your desired setting. You can press down on the "P" button without releasing if required to accelerate the process of blending.
3. Make sure the jar cover is placed in position properly before operating, and never open the jar cover during operation.
4. Once all pieces have been cleaned and dried thoroughly, reassemble the jar.

CAUTION: The jar and jar base are now secured. To prevent damage, do not try to twist the jar and jar base onto motor unit.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Peel or core the food to be blended. Cut the carrot into small pieces.
2. Place the food to be blended into the jar. Add some purified water to facilitate the smooth running of the blender. The proportion of the food and water should be 2:3. The amount of mixture should not exceed the max. level mark as indicated on the jar.
3. Put the lid on the jar. Be sure the measuring cup is in place.
4. Plug the power cord into a mains power outlet socket.
5. Choose the appropriate speed setting for operation.
6. For quick or delicate blending tasks, press and hold the "P" button. Operate several times until the consistency you want is obtained.
7. To crush ice, press the "P" button for 2 seconds and then release the button for 1 second. Repeat this cycle 20 times. Use ice cubes with size approximately 2cm³ and total weight 150g (about 22pcs MAX per cycle).

NOTE: The blender will automatically turn off after 1 min of blending. User can only use pulse function after 1 min of blending or user needs to turn the knob back to OFF position before it can be used again.

NOTE: Never use boiling liquids or run the appliance empty.

WARNINGS:

• Never operate the appliance continuously for more than 1 minute per time.
• Blades are very sharp. Handle with care.
• Do not operate without the jar cover in place.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the power base.
• Do not use the product for mashing or grinding heavy foods (e.g., potatoes or meats) or to stir thick mixtures (e.g. dough).
• Cleaning and user maintenance should not be made by children without competent adult supervision.

IMPORTANT! When blending maximum level load or hard fruits and vegetables, ensure that the speed selector is set at highest speed. If the speed used is too low, the motor will be damaged due to insufficient torque. When the motor speed is found to be too slow, you must immediately use a higher speed setting to blend or turn the speed selector to “OFF” to stop blending!

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Make sure to disconnect appliance from mains power before cleaning.

Quick cleaning method:

To quickly clean the glass jar and blades with the PULSE function, fill the glass jar half-full with warm water and a little dish detergent. Close the lid and move the control switch to the Speed Selector position a few times. Remove the jar and rinse well.

General cleaning method:

1. Clean the blender thoroughly after each use.
2. Dismantle all detachable parts. Disassemble the Jar from the motor unit and rinse it under running water. Detach the blade assembly from the jar assembly, take the blade assembly out, and finally remove the jar base seal ring. (See diagrams below for disassembly/reassembly sequence).
3. Wipe the external surface of the motor base with a soft cloth moistened with water or dish detergent.
4. Dry all parts and then reassemble them. The method of assembling blender attachment is just the opposite of its detaching sequence. (See diagrams below for disassembly/reassembly sequence).

IMPORTANT! Do not use abrasive cleanser and never immerse motor unit in water for cleaning.

NOTE: If you encounter any problem during use, never attempt to disassemble the Motor Unit by yourself. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Any repairs to the appliance must be carried out by a qualified electrical person only.

Diagram Descriptions for Assembly/Disassembly:

• Detaching the blade assembly from the jar assembly: This involves unscrewing the blade assembly from the bottom of the jar.
• Reassembling the blade: This involves screwing the blade assembly back onto the bottom of the jar.
• Detaching the blade assembly from the jar unit by anti-clockwise direction: This describes unscrewing the blade assembly from the jar.
• Reassembling the blade assembly to jar unit tightly by clockwise direction: This describes screwing the blade assembly back onto the jar securely.

STORAGE

1. Unplug and clean unit.
2. Ensure all parts are properly dried.
3. Store in original box or in a clean, dry place.
4. Never store the blender while it is hot or whilst connected to mains power.
