3. Setup and Assembly

Before first use, clean all parts that will come into contact with food. Ensure the appliance is unplugged during assembly.

1. Clean Components: Wash the jar, lid, and blade unit in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
2. Assemble Blade Unit: Carefully attach the blade unit to the bottom of the Tritan jar by twisting it clockwise until securely fastened.
3. Place Jar on Motor Unit: Place the assembled jar onto the motor unit. Ensure it is seated correctly and locked into position. Some models may require a slight twist to lock.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective blending.

1. Plug In: Plug the appliance into a power outlet.
