Instructions For Use

Before first use, we recommend that you wipe the main unit with a clean, damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust. Dry it thoroughly with a soft absorbent cloth. Carefully clean the blending cup, blade assembly and drinking lid in warm soapy water.
N.B. Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard implements or a scourer.

 Charging the Blender

The batteries in your Blender have not been fully charged. Before using, the batteries must be charged until all three blue lights are illuminated. With a full charge, your Blender will make around 8 smoothies, but this depends on the recipe and the hardness of the ingredients used. Your Blender will be fully charged in approximately 2 hours.
N.B. To charge the main unit, insert the Micro USB end of charging lead into the charging port at the back of the main unit. Plug the USB end directly into the adapter plug and then into a mains supply outlet.

Battery Life Indicator Lights

The indicator lights will flash blue, when the battery is being charged. When all three lights are illuminated, this means the battery is fully charged and is then ready to use. As the battery starts to run down, the indicator lights will turn off. The battery will need to be recharged when the last indicator light is flashing. If the battery has completely run down on the unit, it will not operate.
N.B. The Blender cannot be used while it is plugged in and charging.
To ensure the best performance when charging your Blender, we recommend only using the USB lead and charging adaptor supplied with this appliance.

Operation

1. Ensure your blender has some charge using the instructions in Section
   A. If the blender has no charge, it cannot be operated by plugging into the mains power. You will need to wait until it has sufficient charge to perform the blending task.

2. Put the ingredients into the blending cup. N.B. Be careful not to exceed the maximum fill line. For best results, always put the hardest ingredients into the cup first (ice cubes, frozen fruit, etc) and finish with the softer ingredients and liquids. We recommend cutting foods into 3cm pieces to achieve the most uniform result. If you are using harder ingredients such as carrots, the blending jug shouldn’t be filled past half way.

3. Attach the black blade assembly to the cup with the blade facing downwards into the cup. Twist the blade assembly clockwise until tightened. N.B. Take care not to touch the blades – always handle using black plastic part of the blade assembly.

4. Ensure the power base is sitting on a clean, dry surface. Place the blending cup onto the power base with the black blade assembly at the bottom and turn to lock into place. You will feel a click when the cup is securely in place. Always ensure it is locked into place before using the blender. N.B. If the blade assembly and cup are not properly attached, the blender will not operate.

5. To operate, press the power button once. The LED lights are displayed and the motor will start. Press the power button again to turn the unit off. N.B. The Blender cannot operate for more than 1 minute, After 1 minute of blending it will automatically stop. If your recipe requires more than a minute of blending, simply pause for a few seconds and then start the blender again.

6. Once your ingredients are blended, remove the blending cup from the base by twisting the blending cup anti clockwise to unlock. N.B. Do not try to remove the blending cup whilst the motor is still running. If the cup is unlocked during blending, the blender will automatically stop.

7. Place the blending cup upright on the surface with the black blade assembly at the top. Twist the black blade assembly anti-clockwise to remove. N.B. Take care not to touch the blades- they are very sharp. Always handle using the black plastic part of the blade assembly. N.B. The stainless steel blade cannot be removed from the black blade assembly.

8. The blade assembly can be washed immediately or stored safely by using the clear blade protection cap until you are able to wash the blade. Simply place the blade protection cap over the blade assembly and twist clockwise until it lock into place. N.B. Always use the blade protection cap when storing the blade assembly.

9. If required, attach the drinking lid to the blending cup by twisting clockwise until it feels tight. Ensure the drinking opening cap is securely closed before placing in a bag for travel.

Hints & Tips

• For best results when using your Blender, always put the hardest ingredients into the cup first (ice cubes, frozen fruit, etc) and finish with the softer ingredients and liquids.
  It is recommended that most foods be cut into 3cm pieces to achieve the most uniform result.

• If food sticks to the sides of the cup when blending, stop the blender, remove the cup and gently shake the cup. Replace and blend again.

• When blending thicker mixtures, lightly hold down the top of the cup to prevent jumping on the surface.

• After blending, remove the cup and place on a surface so that the blade assembly is on the top. Gently tap the cup a few times to prevent any spillage which may occur when removing the blades.

• Some recipes may require more than a minute of blending. Simply start the blender again,

Cleaning & Maintenance

Always clean the appliance thoroughly after use. Remove the blade and clean the main unit with a sponge or damp cloth only. Do not use abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
