    Operation

14. If you are using the appliance for the first time, you should:

    • Clean the exterior of the Motor unit with a damp cloth. Use a little detergent, if necessary, and wipe dry. The Blender comes into contact with food or liquids and may be immersed in water, cleaned with detergent and rinsed under running water with a non-abrasive sponge. The Motor unit may NOT be immersed in water. DO NOT use metal scouring pads nor use solvents like
      paint thinners or acetone.
      Notice: you should NOT use a dishwasher to clean the appliance.

    • Assemble the Motor unit and the Blender according to the instructions listed in the section (“How to Use”) below.

    • Make sure the blades are in place and are running smoothly.

    • Lock the Motor unit (top) and Blender (bottom) together by twisting the Motor unit anti-clockwise. Place food/liquids into a container which serves as the Blender Jug / Chopping Bowl / Whisk Bowl (not provided). Attach the plug of the appliance to the wall socket and switch on. Press and hold down any Speed button on the Motor unit and the appliance will begin operation immediately. To stop the operation, simply release the button.
      Blend or Whisk for NOT more than 50 seconds (30 seconds for Chopping) without interruption, resting for 2 minutes with a maximum of 3 cycles before resting for 10 minutes.
      On completion of blending / chopping or mincing / whisking, switch off the wall switch and unplug the power cable. Wait for the blades to stop turning and twist the Motor unit clockwise and detach.

    • Make sure to remove any label or protective sheet which may prevent its proper functioning.
      DO NOT:

    • cover the appliance during functioning;

    • insert objects or body parts inside the protection cover of the appliance;

    • overload the Blender Jug / Chopping Bowl / Whisk Bowl (your own container) by filling it past ¾ of the total volume of the container as during blending, liquids will churn and may spill out of the container. Your Blender Jug should contain cut fruits and vegetables NO larger than 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length and thickness and must NOT contain dry food, food with insufficient amount of water, very hard ingredients (such as coffee beans, soybeans, rice, ice cubes or frozen foods) or liquids with a temperature greater than 60 C;
