   Note : For optimal performance, place the ingredients in the Blender Jug according to the following sequence:
   Liquids, fresh ingredients, frozen fruits, yoghurt, ice cream.

7. DO NOT place foods or liquids which are hotter than 82 C (180 F) in the appliance. Allow very hot ingredients to cool before processing.

8. Insert the Lid on top of the Blender Jug.

9. Insert the Plug on top of the Lid and turn clockwise to lock. The Plug also serves as a measuring cup when inverted. It has marks indicating 40, 55, 70 and 85 ml.

10. Plug the power cable into the wall socket and switch ON. Turn the ON/OFF & Speed Rotary Knob clockwise between MIN and MAX or press the Pulse Button and blend until the desired consistency is achieved. Whilst blending hot ingredients, steam may emerge from the spout of the Blender Jug. DO NOT direct steam at any person or animal & one’s hands and face should be angled away from the Lid and spout at all times to prevent possible burns or scalding. Place one hand on top of the Lid when blending to stabilise the appliance. DO NOT operate the appliance for more than 2 minutes without interruption. Let the appliance rest for 5 minutes between processing cycles. After 3 processing cycles, allow an interval of 15 minutes to let the appliance cool down before the next use, so as to prolong its service life. DO NOT allow the product to idle while in operation.

11. On completion of blending, turn the ON/OFF & Speed Rotary Knob to OFF. Switch off the wall switch and unplug the power cable. Wait for the blades to stop turning.

12. Lift up the Blender Jug with the Blender Blade assembly from the Motor unit and detach. Always allow the appliance to cool before removing parts and before cleaning. Extreme caution must be used when moving the Blender Jug (or the whole appliance) when the Blender Jug contains hot ingredients before or after blending.

13. Remove the Lid from the Blender Jug and the contents may be poured out.
    Crushing Ice

14. Before using the Blender to crush ice, make sure it is clean and rinse it out thoroughly.

15. Ice cubes come in many shapes and sizes. Insert a maximum of 12 ice cubes and add 60 ml of cold water. DO NOT be tempted to increase the number of ice cubes and blend for longer – this will not work. Too much ice will never give you satisfactory results.

16. Put the Lid and Plug on the Blender Jug (steps 8 & 9) and press the Pulse Button for 2 seconds and release for 2 seconds. Note that too much blending will reduce the ice to liquid, too little will merely chip the edges/corners off the ice. DO NOT try to crush ice without adding water into the jug.

only if a Jam occurs: DO NOT continue blending if the blade is jammed.

• Turn the ON/OFF & Speed Rotary Knob to OFF. Switch off the wall switch and unplug the power cable.
• Wait for the blades to stop turning. Remove the Lid from the Blender Jug and clear the jam. Re-attach the Lid to the top of the Blender Jug
• Occasionally, the blockage may require that the Blender Jug be detached from the Motor unit before clearing. In this case, wait for the blades to stop turning. Lft up the Blender Jug with the Blender Blade assembly from the Motor unit and detach. Remove the Lid from the Blender Jug and clear the jam. Re-attach the Lid on top of the Blender Jug. Lower the Blender Jug onto the Motor unit – the Blender Jug instantly locks onto the rotating mechanism
  Perform steps 10 – 13 again.
