BLENDER FUNCTION GUIDE

The Blender features Variable Speed and Pulse functions that allow you to customise your blending for any recipe you make.
You might find that not all recipes are exactly the same, and sometimes a recipe might blend more to your preference on a speed that is not obvious. For example, when making a smoothie, you may prefer the finer texture that a higher speed creates. We encourage you to experiment to find the best speed for your favourite recipes.

SETTING	DESCRIPTION
Pulse	Allows precise control of the duration and frequency of blending. Great

for recipes that require a light touch.
Variable Speeds| Manual speeds offer ultimate control of the Blender. Allows for fine-tuned chopping and blending needs to prepare any recipe.
| When speed 10 is selected, the Blender will run continuously on high until the Start/Stop Toggle Switch is pressed, or after 6 minutes elapse.

PREPARING THE BLENDER FOR USE

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into an earthed outlet.
Do not remove earth prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Before first use
Before using your Blender for the first time, wipe the Blender Base with a warm, damp cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. Wash the Blender Jar, Lid, Tamper, and Ingredient-Measuring Cap in warm, sudsy water (see the “Care and Cleaning” section). Rinse parts and wipe dry.

Before using the Blender, be sure the countertop beneath the Blender and surrounding areas are dry and clean. Then, plug the Blender into an earthed outlet.
The main power switch is on the back of the Blender Base. Flip the Power switch to the On position. The Status Indicator Light above the Start/Stop Toggle Switch will begin to flash, indicating that the Blender is in Standby mode. The Blender is now ready to operate.

PRODUCT USAGE

Put the items to blend into the Blender Jar. Add liquids first, then soft foods, then leafy greens, and ice or frozen items last.
NOTE: Do not fill Blender Jar past the topmost measurement mark, especially when blending liquids.
Make sure that the Lid is fully secured on the Blender Jar. Next, place the Blender Jar on the Base, making sure that it is fully aligned on the Jar Pad.
Flip the Start/Stop Toggle Switch up or down to begin operation of the Blender. The Status Indicator Light will now be solid.
Turn the Control Dial to your desired speed. See the “Blender Function Guide” for more information.
Use the Tamper accessory as needed for optimal blending performance. Remove the Ingredient-Measuring Cup/Cap only, and leave the Lid in place. Stir or press contents down towards the Blade. When you are finished, replace the Ingredient- Measuring Cup/ Cap to the Blender Jar Lid before resuming blending.
The Pulse function may also be used on its own as a separate blending function while the Blender is in Standby mode.
After blending, flip the Start/Stop Toggle Switch up or down. Allow the Blender to come to a complete stop before removing the Lid and pouring your blended ingredients.

CARE AND CLEANING

IMPORTANT: Allow the appliance to cool completely before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
