- When mixing solid ingredients start off with a small amount of liquid. Gradually add more liquid through the opening of the lid.
- Always place your hand on top of the blender when operating the appliance.
- The function for “LOW PULSE” and “HIGH PULSE” are designed for short-time blending (a few seconds), which makes it easy to control the blending results.
- Do not operate the appliance for more than 2 minutes continuously at a time. If you have not finished processing after 2 minutes, switch off the appliance and let it cool down before you operate it again.

- Unplug the appliance. Cleaning should only be carried out when the appliance is switched off and the plug is removed from the wall outlet. NOTE: After the blending process, wash the removable parts immediately. Do not let the food or any other liquids dry on the jar assemble as this will make the cleaning difficult and residue accumulated may harden or degrade the sealing rings as time passes.

CAUTION 1: Never immerse motor base in water or any other liquids nor rinse it under the tap. Use only a moist cloth to clean the motor base. CAUTION 2: When blending hard fruit or vegetable or maximum level load, please use highest speed setting. If the speed is used too low, the motor will be damaged due to insufficient torque. When the motor speed is found to be too slow, you must immediately use a higher speed setting to blend or turn the speed selector to “0” to stop blend.
