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 accessories: Jug, Chopper Bowl, Chopper Blade & Chopper Gearbox, Blender & Whisk come 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 accessories (Blender, Chopper or Whisk) according to the instructions listed in the section (“How to Use”) below.

    • Before adding ingredients, make sure the blades of the Blender & Chopper or the wires of the Whisk are in place and are running smoothly.

    • Lock the Motor unit (top) and Blender, Chopper Gearbox or Whisk (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. (the latter two are not provided, but the Blender Jug can act as one). Attach the plug of the appliance to the wall socket and switch on. Press and hold down the ON/OFF 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 / 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 Chopper Bowl, Whisk Bowl (your own containers) or Jug by filling it past the MAX volume indicated. Jug: This is generally below ¾ of the total volume of the container as during blending, liquids will churn and may spill out of the container. The 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;
