HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Check that all parts are complete and not damaged. Choose the appropriate attachment to perform your desired task. The blender attachment is suitable for
blending fruit or vegetables or for crushing ice, while the grinder attachment is suitable for grinding coffee beans. Clean the attachment in accordance with the section ‘CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE.

WARNING : The blade is sharp, so handle it with great care; and ensure that you unplug the appliance from the power outlet before attaching or removing parts.

HOW TO USE THE PRODUCT:

1. Peel or core the fruit or vegetable items then cut them into small pieces.
2. Place the food pieces into the jar to be blended. Usually, a certain amount of purified water has to be added to facilitate the smooth running of the appliance. The proportion of food and water should be 2:3. The amount of mixture should not exceed the max. level as indicated on the jar.
   Warning: Blending maximum level load or hard fruits and vegetables must be sure that the speed selector is setting at the highest speed (speed 10). 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 blending!
   RECIPE

   ---

High speed
Carrot (apple, pear, etc.)| Cut into 6mm6mm6mm| Carrot: 50g Water: 150g| Low speed

Note: Never use boiling liquids or run the appliance when it is empty.

3. Put the lid on the jar. Make sure the measuring cup is in place.

4. Insert the power plug into a standard power outlet.

5. Choose the appropriate speed setting for your task. ( Please stir food at the highest speed, but not at low speed.)

6. For quick or delicate blending tasks, turn the control to the ‘P’ position and hold it for a few seconds then release it; the control will return to the ‘O’ position automatically. Repeat, if necessary, until the consistency you want is obtained.

7. If you want to add ingredients while the blender is working, remove the measuring cup and insert them through the opening in the lid.

8. When crushing ice or hard food, keep one hand firmly on the lid.

9. When the consistency you want is obtained, turn the control to the ‘O’ position.
   Note:
   1) For each use, the total continuous or consecutive operating time should not exceed 2 minutes. At least 10 minutes rest time must be maintained between two cycles of continuous or consecutive use, and the unit must cool to room temperature before the next cycle of use begins.
   2) If you want to stop the appliance while it is operating, turn the control to the ‘O’ position at any time.

10. The ‘P’ setting is for breaking ice and operating in pulses.

BLENDER OPERATION

1. Lay the motor unit down on a flat horizontal surface and make sure it is unplugged.
   NOTE: There is a safety interlock device at the bottom of the jar; if the jar is not attached properly, the blender will not operate.

2. Open the jar cover by turning it anticlockwise, and place it on the surface. Peel and core fruit or vegetable items and cut them into small pieces, then put the pieces into the jar. Usually, a certain amount of purified water has to be added to facilitate the smooth running of the appliance. The amount of mixture should not exceed the max. level as indicated on the jar, nor sit lower the min. level. The best proportion of fruit or vegetables and water is 2:3.
   NOTE: The blender is not suitable for beating egg whites, mashing potatoes, mixing dough, or extracting juice from fruit or vegetables.

3. Put the cover back on the jar and turn it clockwise.

4. If necessary, you may put ingredients into the jar through the central opening in its cover during operation, then replace the measuring cup. Align the tabs of the measuring cup with the grooves in the jar cover; push the cup down and turn it clockwise until it’s secured.

5. Ensure the speed control is set to the ‘O’ position, then plug the appliance into a power outlet and set the speed control to your desired setting. You can select the pulse setting without releasing the control if you want to accelerate the process of blending. Detailed information is shown in Fig. 1 below.
   NOTE: Make sure the jar cover is properly attached before operating the appliance, and never open the jar cover during operation.
   
   

6. Do not run the appliance for more than 2 minutes at a time; you must also wait until the unit has cooled to room temperature before starting the next operating cycle.

7. Turn the speed control to the ‘O’ position once the mixture has been blended to your desired consistency.

8. Turn the jar anticlockwise and remove it from the motor unit, then carefully take off the jar cover and pour the contents out.

WARNING:

1. Never operate the appliance for more than 2 minutes continuously or consecutively.
2. The blades are very sharp. Handle with care.
3. Do not operate the appliance without the jar cover in place.
4. In normal conditions, do not disassemble the jar from the jar base.
5. This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or a lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children without supervision.
6. When blending a load that comes up to around the maximum level, or when blending hard fruit or vegetables, be sure that the speed control is set to the highest speed (speed 2). If too slow a speed is used, the motor will be damaged due to insufficient torque. When the motor speed is found to be too slow, you must immediately select a higher speed setting to continue blending or turn the speed selector to ‘O’ to stop blending!

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Make sure the appliance is disconnected from the power supply before cleaning it.

For blender
An ‘auto clean’ cycle can be used to clean the blender easily and rapidly in complete safety.

1. Pour a little warm soapy water into the jar, turn the speed control to the ‘1setting, then select the pulse setting for a few seconds without releasing
   the control.

2. Remove all detachable parts. Remove the jar from the motor unit and rinse it under running water, then detach the blade assembly from the jar assembly, take the blade assembly out and finally remove the jar base seal ring. Also, detach the measuring cup from the jar cover. Rinse the jar, blade, jar base, jar cover, and measuring cup under running water.
   

3. Wipe the outer surface of the motor unit with a damp cloth.
   NOTE: Do not use an abrasive cleanser and never immerse the motor unit in water to clean it.

4. Dry all parts, then reassemble them. The blender parts are reassembled in the opposite order to disassemble.

NOTE: If any problem has been encountered during use, never disassemble the motor unit yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Only contact the authorized service facility for examination and repair.
