Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance has malfunctioned, or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact customer service for replacement, examination, repair or adjustment.
There are no user-serviceable parts. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Do not use this appliance for other than its intended use. Using the appliance for other than its intended purpose may result in personal injury.
The motor must always be switched off before connecting to the mains supply.
Cutting blades are very sharp. Handle the blender and blade assembly with extreme care and caution when empting the jug and during cleaning.
The motor will only operate if the glass jug has been fully inserted into the motor unit.
Before switching on, make sure that the glass jug has been assembled correctly and has been seated into the motor unit with the lid attached. Do not start the blender without the lid and measuring cap in place otherwise liquids/ingredients will be ejected. Always place your hand on top of the blender jug lid to hold the jug steady when the blender starts.
The blender is not to be operated with an empty glass jug.
Allow boiling liquids to cool before you pour them into the blender jug. Pouring boiling liquids into a cold glass jug could cause the jug to crack.
Hot liquids/ingredients must be never placed in the blending jug;
• Hot liquids/ingredients can create pressure and/or may be ejected during blending which may result in apossible scalding hazard.
• Hot liquids/ingredients may cause the glass blending jug to break.
Switch off and unplug the appliance before changing accessories or touching parts that move whilst in use.
The average operating time is approximately 1 minute. If further blending is required, allow a rest/cooling period of
1-2 minutes between operations.
Do not use on an inclined plane or unstable surface.
Keep the blender and the power cord away from the edges of tables or countertops and out of reach of children and persons with disabilities.
Do not place the blender on or near any heat sources.
Do not use appliances for other than intended purposes.
Cleaning or user maintenance shall not be carried out by children without the supervision of a person responsible for their safety.
Do not operate from a timer or other remote control system.
For added safety, electrical appliances should be connected to a power outlet that is protected by a residual current device (RCD), also often referred to as a ‘Safety Switch’. Your switchboard may already incorporate an RCD. If unsure, call an electrician for verification and fitting if necessary.
Misuse of the appliance may cause injury.

2. Motor unit	5. Lid
3. Blade unit	6. Cap

PREPARATION
In use, treat the jug and blade unit as a single unit.

Sit the motor unit on a stable, level surface.
Check that the speed control is set to O.
Lower the jug on to the motor unit.
Remove the lid.
Put the ingredients into the jug. Don’t fill past the 1500 ml mark. If you do, the contents may force the lid off when you start the motor.
Replace the lid. Don’t operate the appliance without fitting the lid.
Put the plug into the power socket.
Turn the speed control to the speed you want (1 = low, 2 = high).
Turn the speed control back to O to turn the motor off.
• Generally, large quantities, thick mixes, and a high ratio of solids to liquids require longer timings and slower speeds.
• Smaller quantities, thinner mixes, and more liquids than solids require shorter timings and higher speeds.
• Turning the speed control anti-clockwise to Y will give you a short burst at high speed. In this direction, the knob is spring-loaded. When you let go, it’ll return to O.
• To add ingredients while the blender is working, remove the cap, pour the new ingredients through the hole, then replace the cap.
• Check that the added ingredients don’t increase the volume in the jug past the 1500ml mark.
