INTRODUCTION

The blender is a high-powered electrical appliance with a compact design and outstanding performance. It is perfect for ice crushing and blending. Enjoy blended drinks with the convenient lip ring supplied to use with the cup.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Note: When using the appliance for the first time, carefully remove all packaging.

1. Before using the product for the first time, wash all the parts except the motor base in warm, soapy water, and then rinse and dry thoroughly.
2. Clean the motor base with a damp cloth or sponge. Wipe dry with a soft dry cloth.
   CAUTION: Never immerse the motor base in water or other liquids. Never use abrasive cleaners on any part of the product. Do not place any parts into a dishwasher or extremely hot water.

IMPORTANT! To prevent leaking, Do Not remove the sealing gasket from the blade assembly. Place the motor housing on a flat, stable surface, the appliance is now ready for use.

USE YOUR BLENDER

WARNING! DO NOT process boiling liquids or hot ingredients. Allow hot ingredients to cool down before placing them in the cup.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT fill the cup above the maximum level as indicated on the cup. Some mixtures increase in volume during blending and create pressure in the jug.

1. Ensure the product is unplugged from the electrical outlet.

2. Pour liquid ingredients into the cup, wash all solid ingredients and cut them into small pieces, and put into the cup.
   NOTE: Do not overfill! To avoid spilling, do not add ingredients past the “Max” fill line.

3. Screw the blade assembly on the jug tightly and ensure it is not leaking. Align the tabs on the cup with the motor base, then push into the motor base and rotate clockwise until you hear the “click” sound.

4. Plug the product into a standard 220-240V~ electrical outlet, and the appliance will start working.
   WARNING: Do not operate the motor continuously for more than 1 minute at a time. Allow the motor to rest for 3 minutes before continuing.
   If the appliance stops working during use, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for 6 to 10 minutes, then the appliance should be ready again for use.
   NOTE: If the blades are not operating smoothly, stop the product and add some liquid, or reduce the contents in the cup.
   Tip: If you want to use the ice crush function, align the tabs on the jug with the motor base push down and turn clockwise to activate the blender and counterclockwise to stop the blending process. For best results use ice cubes straight from the freezer. Try using a short operating time instead of a long time.

5. When you have reached your desired consistency, stop the appliance by turning the cap counterclockwise and taking it straight up to remove.

6. Disassemble the cup from the blade assembly.

7. Twist the lip ring onto the cup and enjoy your drinks directly from the cup!

8. Make sure that the motor base is unplugged when not in use.

NOTE: The blender has a built-in safety lock feature, this ensures that you can only switch ON the appliance while the cup and the blade assembly are assembled on the motor base securely.
IMPORTANT: On the blade base collar, there is a silicone gasket seal that creates an airtight fit with the cup to prevent liquid from leaking. After washing and before each use, always check to make sure the gasket is properly in place.
WARNING! To prevent the appliance from overheating, dry ingredients must not be processed.

TROUBLESHOOTING

sure that the tabs are seated in the slots and turned clockwise.
Food is unevenly chopped.| You are chopping too much food at one time, or you are not pulsing properly. Reduce the amount of food in the cup.
Food is too finely chopped or too watery| The food has been over-processed. Use the short operating time for best results.
Cannot achieve crushed/soft ice from ice cubes.| For best results use ice straight from the freezer. Try using a short operating time instead of a long time.
Make sure the cup is completely dry before adding ice.
Cup is leaking| Make sure that your blade assembly is properly assembled to the cup. Leaking may occur if it is misaligned when twisted onto the cup. Turn the blade assembly tightly clockwise.
The unit doesn’t turn ON| Make sure the unit is plugged in.
Make sure the blade assembly is properly assembled to the cup and that is not misaligned.
The unit doesn’t turn OFF| Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
Doesn’t mix well| Pulse ingredients for best results. Press down on the cup in short intervals for even blending and chopping. For frozen ingredients, pulse in short intervals of 2-5 seconds and repeat.
Blade assembly will not properly align to the cup| Set the cup on a level surface. Place the blade assembly on top of the cup and align the threads so that the blade sit flat on the cup. Twist clockwise so that the blade is aligned to the cup until you have a tight seal.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

CAUTION: Never immerse the motor base in water or other liquids. Never use abrasive cleaners on any part of the product. Do not place any parts into a dishwasher or extremely hot water.

• Clean the blender after each use.
• Remove the power cord from the power outlet socket and ensure the appliance is thoroughly cooled before cleaning.
• Clean the motor base with a damp cloth or sponge. Wipe dry with a soft dry cloth.
• Wash all the other parts except the motor base in warm, soapy water, and then rinse and dry thoroughly. Use caution when handling the blade assembly as the blades are very sharp.

CAUTION: Do not try to remove blades from the assembly for cleaning.
Tips:
Use a small brush (not included) to remove particles of food lodged underneath the blades.
If some leftover particles dry onto the inside of the cup, fill the cup at about 2/3 full capacity with warm water and attach the blade assembly. Place the cup and blade assembly onto the motor base and operate the appliance for about 20-30 seconds to help loosen the stuck ingredients. Repeat the above step but use clean tap water. Empty blender and dry thoroughly.

• Make sure all components are clean and dried thoroughly before storing.
• Store the appliance upright in a clean and dry location. Do not place anything on top. Store the cup and the rest of the attachment alongside the appliance where they will not be damaged and won’t cause a hazard..
