Ensure blade assemblies and lids are removed from their containers before placing in the dishwasher. Exercise care when handling blade assemblies.

Instructions:

1. Remove all packaging materials from the appliance. Exercise care when unpacking blade assemblies as they are sharp.
2. Wash containers, lids, and blade assemblies in warm, soapy water using a dishwashing utensil with a handle to avoid direct contact with the blades. Exercise care when handling blade assemblies, as the blades are sharp.
3. Thoroughly rinse and air-dry all parts.

Blending Instructions

1. Add ingredients to the Single-Serve Cup. DO NOT add ingredients past the MAX LIQUID line on the cup.
2. Place the Blade Assembly on the top of the cup and turn clockwise to seal.
3. Turn cup upside down so the bottom of the blade assembly is flat on the worktop.

Care & Maintenance

Cleaning

• Separate all parts.
• Wash all containers in warm, soapy water with a soft cloth.

Hand-Washing

Wash cups, lids and blade assembly in warm, soapy water. Use a dishwashing utensil with a handle to avoid direct contact with the blades. Exercise care when handling the blade assembly as the blades are sharp. Thoroughly rinse and air-dry all parts.

Dishwasher

Cups, lids, and blade assembly are dishwasher safe. Place the cups, lids, and blade assembly on the top rack of the dishwasher ONLY. Ensure the blade assembly and lid are removed from the cup before placing in the dishwasher.

Motor Base

Turn off the unit and unplug the motor base before cleaning. Wipe motor base with a clean, damp cloth. NEVER directly spray the base with water or other liquids. DO NOT use abrasive cloths/pads/brushes to clean the base, as this can dull or scratch the surface.

Resetting the Motor Thermostat

This unit features a safety system that prevents damage to the motor should you inadvertently overload it. If the unit is overloaded, the motor will be temporarily disabled. To reset:

1. Unplug the unit from the socket.
2. Allow the unit to cool for approximately 30 minutes.
3. Remove the container's lid and blade assembly. Empty the container and ensure no ingredients are jamming the blade assemblies.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that maximum capacities are not exceeded. This is the most typical cause of appliance overload.

Troubleshooting Guide

WARNING: Turn power off and unplug unit before troubleshooting.

Motor doesn't start or blade assembly doesn't rotate

• Ensure the cup is securely placed onto the motor base.
• Check that the plug is securely inserted into the socket.
• Check your home's fuse or breaker.
• Ensure the inside of the motor base is clean and there is no food blocking the connection between the motor base and the cup.
• If there is too much food, unplug the motor base, remove some food, and try again.
• If the unit has overheated, unplug and wait approximately 30 minutes before using again.

Food collects on the sides of the cup

• Too much food is being processed at one time. Turn the motor base off. When the blades stop rotating, remove the cup from the motor base. Remove some of the food being processed.

Snow from ice cannot be achieved

• Do not use ice that has been sitting out or has started to melt.
