• This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and if they understand the hazards involved.
• Do not use the appliance near the edge of a countertop or table. Ensure the surface is level, clean and free of water and other substances. Please be aware that vibration during use may cause the appliance to move.
• Do not use the appliance on (or close to) a hot gas or electric burner, or where it could touch a heated oven or surface.
• Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of a countertop, or to become knotted.
• To avoid electric shock, do not immerse the cord, plug or motor base in water (or other liquids).
• Installation of a residual current device (a standard safety switch on your wall socket) is recommended to provide additional safety protection when using appliances. It is advisable that a safety switch (with a rated residual operating current not more than 30mA) be installed in the electrical circuit supplying the appliance. Contact your electrician for further professional advice.
• In order to avoid the possible hazard of the blender starting by itself due to inadvertent resetting of the overload protector on the motor, do not attach an external switching device (such as a timer) or connect the blender to a circuit that can regularly switch the blender on and off.
• Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after appliance malfunctions, or if dropped or damaged in any way. Stop use immediately and contact Sage by phone or email for replacement or repair.
• All maintenance (other than cleaning) is to be done by an authorised Sage Service Centre.
• Regularly inspect the supply cord, plug and actual appliance for any damage. If found damaged in any way or maintenance other than cleaning is required, immediately cease use of the appliance and contact Sage Customer Service.

SAFEGUARDS FOR YOUR EXTRACTOR BLENDER

• Use only cups, blade assembly and accessories that are supplied with this blender. The use of attachments or accessories not manufactured or specified by Sage may cause the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury.
• Always ensure the blender is assembled properly before using. Blades must be firmly secured to cup before operation to ensure internal contents do not escape or spray.
• Never attempt to operate or place the blade assembly onto the motor base without the cup in place.
• Under a heavy load, do not operate continuously for more than 10 seconds. Allow the motor to rest for 1 minute between uses on heavy loads. A heavy load is defined as per the appliance safety standard specified load (500mL cup filled to the maximum indicated level with a mixture comprising two parts by mass of soaked diced carrots and 3 parts water). Any load equivalent to this or heavier should not be operated for more than 10 seconds at a time. Note that none of the recipes supplied with this product are considered heavier than this load.
• Do not fill the cup past the MAX level marking as this will cause the motor to strain under heavy load and may cause potential leakage. It will also reduce blending performance. Note that some mixtures increase in volume when blending.
• Do not put any parts or accessories in a microwave.
• Do not blend carbonated liquids, as they will expand.
• Keep hands, fingers, hair and clothing away from the extractor during use. Always unplug at the wall before touching the motor coupling or surrounding area.
• Be careful when handling and cleaning blades, as they are very sharp. Mishandling of the blades may cause injury.
• Avoid putting the cup on the motor base while the motor is still spinning.
• The blender is intended for food or drinks preparation. Do not use for anything other than food or drinks. Do not operate without any ingredients in the cup.
• Never attempt to operate with damaged blades, or with utensils, or any foreign objects inside the cup.
• Never blend hot or warm ingredients in this blender.
• Do not put the cup in extremes of heat or cold, for example placing a cold cup into hot water, or vice versa.
• Always turn the cup to the off position and unplug from the supply if left unattended, before attempt to move and before assembling, disassembling or cleaning.
  The symbol shown indicates that this appliance should not be disposed of in normal household waste. It should be taken to a local authority waste collection centre designated for this purpose or to a dealer providing this service. For more information, please contact your local council office.

OPERATION

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Before using your blender for the first time, remove any packaging material and promotional labels.
• Be careful when handling the blades as they are extremely sharp.
• Wash the tumblers, lids, blade assembly and attachments in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. All parts (except motor base) may be washed in the dishwasher, on the top shelf.
• When first using your blender, you may notice an odour coming from the motor. This is normal and will dissipate with use.

FUNCTIONS

1. Remove blades and position the cup with opening facing up.

2. Add ingredients avoiding filling past the MAX line.
   Fix the blade assembly in place with a quarter turn in the clockwise direction. Ensure the blade assembly collar is securely in place before inverting the cup to blend.
   NOTE

   • The blender will only work when the blades and cup are correctly assembled.
   • With ingredients inside, invert cup, and place onto the motor base using the alignment graphics.
   • To blend, securely hold the cup assembly and twist clockwise on the base to the ON position.
   • When the desired consistency is reached, turn tumbler anti-clockwise to release and disengage the motor.
   • Do not blend continuously for more than 60 seconds at a time. Allow the motor to rest for 2 minutes before continuing.
   • Ingredients can be pulsed by rotating the cup within the bayonet positions, which will turn the motor on and off.
   • When finished blending, wait a few seconds for the blades to stop spinning before lifting the jar assembly off the motor base.
   • Invert the cup and allow the ingredients to run off the blades for a few seconds before unscrewing blades. Hold by the blade collar, and turn anti-clockwise to remove.
   • For safety, turn the motor base off at the wall and unplug when finished blending.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION SYSTEM

• The blender is equipped with an internal self-resetting overload protector to protect the motor from damage under heavy or continuous loads. If the blender suddenly stops during use, this protector may have tripped.
• Remove the cup, unplug and leave it to cool for at least 30 minutes. Do not replace the cup assembly while cooling as the protector may reset causing it to start unexpectedly.
• Tripping the protector indicates that the extractor is being loaded too heavily, or with excessive continuous use. Reduce the amount of ingredients used or allow more time in between blending to prevent it from happening again, which will help preserve the life of the motor.
• The MAX line is usually a good indicator to prevent overly heavy loading, however some especially dense combinations of ingredients may still strain the motor. If the motor seems to be straining or running slowly, only operate for 10 seconds at a time, or reduce the amount of ingredients used. Adding more liquid can also help to loosen dense mixtures.

HINTS & TIPS

• Never blend hot (or even warm) ingredients. The blades form a seal with the cups, and there is no venting for steam to be released.
• Always add liquids for optimum blending. If the blending action is not causing the ingredients to circulate, try adding more liquid.
• If the results are lumpy, try reducing the ingredients, or blending in batches.
• Run the blender only for the appropriate amount of time required – do not over blend ingredients.
• If foods are thick, use a pulsing action by twisting the cup to engage and disengage the motor as needed. This will help ingredients circulate.
• To stop blending at any time, rotate the cup anti-clockwise to disengage the motor.
• The maximum amount of ice cubes the extractor can process is 4 from a standard ice tray. This also applies to frozen fruit. Cut fruit into pieces of a similar size to an ice cube before freezing.

CARE & CLEANING

TUMBLER CUPS AND LIDS
To keep your cups and lids clean, avoid allowing food residue to dry on them. Follow these steps as soon as possible after use:

• Rinse most of the residue off the blades, cup and lid.
• Hand wash in warm, soapy water using a mild liquid detergent and non-abrasive sponge.

MOTOR BASE
To clean the motor base, wipe with a soft, damp cloth then dry thoroughly. Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.

CLEANING AGENTS

• Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners on either the motor base or the jug, as they may scratch the surface. Use only warm soapy water with a soft cloth.

PRESSURISATION

• The cups may be rinsed by adding cold water, attaching blades, and either blending or shaking by hand for 10 seconds.

IMPORTANT
There is a risk of pressurisation from hot water and/or detergent.

• When rinsing by attaching blades and blending/shaking, never add hot or even warm water, as the steam produced can create dangerous pressurisation of steam.
• Do not add detergent, as the foam produced will expand and may cause pressurisation.

DISHWASHER
The cups, lids and blade assembly may be washed in the dishwasher on the top shelf only.

STUBBORN FOOD STAINS AND ODOURS
To remove stains and odours, pour warm soapy water and fill to the MAX mark. Set aside to soak for 5 minutes. Then wash with a mild detergent and warm water, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Store cups with lids off.

CITRUS

• Exposure to citrus oil may affect the clarity and longevity of the Tritan cups. After washing in detergent, rinse with plain water thoroughly, and allow to dry immediately.
• Do not soak if citrus has been blended.
• Do not attach blades when washing with detergent.

STORAGE

Store upright with the cups and blades assembled and resting on the motor base, or beside it. Do not store with the cup turned to the ON position, as this means the motor is engaged and will turn on immediately when plugged in or switched on at the wall.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Motor doesn’t start or blade doesn’t rotate| • Check that the power plug is properly inserted into the power outlet.

•  Overload Protection System may have operated (see below).

---|---
Blender stopped suddenly while in use| •  This extractor has overload protection to prevent damage to the motor, which may have operated.

Unplug, remove the cup and allow the motor to cool down for 30 minutes. Once cooled, you will be able to use as usual again.

•  We recommend blending in smaller batches, or cutting ingredients into smaller pieces. See Overload Protection System section for detailed information.

Food is lumpy or unevenly blended| •  This can happen when too much food is being blended at one time. Try a smaller amount, and work in batches if necessary.

•  The ingredients may be too large. Try cutting into smaller pieces. For best results, ingredients should be in pieces no larger than 2cm.

Food sticks to blade and cup| •  The mixture may be too thick. Try adding more liquid and/or pulsing the blender.
