4. Slide the bottle with the blade cap screwed on into the opening on the top of the blender drive unit (part of the blender base) so that the mark on the cup with blades is at the same heigh with the open padlock.
5. Then turn the bottle clockwise to lock it. Make sure the bottle is put on correctly by pulling it upwards. If it is not properly locked, you can pull it out.

Removing the bottle from the drive unit

1. Stop blending by turning switch to „0” position.
2. Disconnect the plug from the mains (unplug it from the outlet).
