Features

Sports-style resealable lid
The lid has a cap which ‘clicks’ securely into place to seal the bottle and also folds all the way back until it ‘clicks’ into the open position preventing it from closing when in use.
Blade assembly
The durable high quality stainless steel blades are able to crush ice. Always add a small amount of liquid (such as fruit juice, water, etc.) when crushing ice.
Blade cover
The blade cover fits securely to the blade assembly to allow its safe storage. This combination can be used as a nut/seed grinder when attached to the motor unit.
Motor unit
The LED on the motor unit lights up when the bottle or nut/seed grinder is properly attached. The LED flashes when the blend button is pressed.
Blend button
Press to operate your blender.
500ml bottle
Blender bottles are made from Eastman Tritan® copolyester which is a durable BPA‑free, odour, taste and stain resistant material used for manufacturing sports bottles and able to withstand extreme use and repeated dishwasher cleaning.
Neoprene sleeve
The insulated sleeve keeps drinks cooler for longer.

Using Your Blender

Ensure that the appliance is switched off and unplugged from the supply socket if it is left unattended and before assembling, disassembling or cleaning.
The blades have very sharp edges. Take care when handling or cleaning them.
Never attempt to fit the blade assembly onto the motor unit by itself.
Do not operate your blender continuously for more than 30 seconds without giving it a rest period of one minute.

Add the ingredients to the bottle. Don’t fill the bottle above the top of the bottle grip.
Fit the blade assembly onto the bottle. Tighten the blade assembly firmly.
Turn the bottle upside down so that the blade assembly is at the bottom then line up the symbol on the blade assembly with the symbol on the rim of the motor unit.
Gently press the bottle downwards then twist it clockwise until the symbol on the blade assembly is aligned with the symbol on the rim of the motor unit. Your blender will not work unless the bottle is correctly locked into position.
Press and hold the blend button to operate your blender. You can either press and hold the button or use short pulses until your drink is at the desired consistency.
When you have finished blending your drink, twist the bottle anticlockwise until the symbol is aligned with the symbol and remove the bottle and blade assembly.
Turn the bottle the right side up then unscrew the blade assembly and fit one of the resealable lids onto the bottle. Close the cap of the resealable lid firmly until it “clicks”

Notes: If the ingredients become stuck around the blade during processing, simply remove the bottle from the motor unit, give it a shake then refit it and carry on processing.
Always remove the bottle when attempting to agitate or otherwise redistribute the ingredients. For ease of cleaning, we recommend that you clean your blend active bottle and cap as soon as you have finished using them.

Crushing ice

Your blender can be used to crush ice. For best results and to prevent possible damage to the blades, always add a small amount of liquid to the ice before processing. The liquid can be water or one of the liquid ingredients from your recipe (fruit juice, etc.).

Grinding nuts and seeds

The blade cover can also be used as a nut/seed grinder and can finely grind nuts, seeds, and cereals before adding these to your favourite recipes.

Notes: Do NOT use the nut/seed grinder to grind wet foods (garlic, onions, etc.). Add the ingredients to the blade cover. Don’t fill the cover more than half full.

Screw the blade assembly onto the blade cover, tighten firmly, and attach to the motor unit properly . Press the blend button to pulse in short bursts to achieve the desired texture.

Recipes

Ingredients

Smoothies and shakes often separate if not consumed immediately after blending.
However, they can be re‑blended and consumed within 30 minutes if necessary.

Peanut butter—a great protein shake ingredient. Try and source an unsweetened variety.
Frozen berries—now widely available in larger supermarkets. Look out for special packs of frozen smoothie mixes too.
Frozen bananas—don’t throw away those over‑ripe bananas in the fruit bowl. Simply peel, break into pieces, and pop into a suitable bag for the freezer. Use bananas straight from the freezer in your favourite smoothie recipes.
Protein powder—a concentrated form of protein. Used as a dietary supplement, protein powder can be added to drinks, sprinkled on cereal, stirred into soups and stews, or cooked into baked goods and other meals. Available from most large supermarkets or health shops.
Almond Milk—a healthy alternative to cow’s milk.
Soya Milk—can be used as a skimmed milk replacement in all of our recipes

To make a recipe…

Simply add the ingredients in the recipe to the bottle, top up with chilled milk or juice, and blitz until thick and smooth.

If the fuse in a moulded plug needs to be changed, the fuse cover must be refitted. The appliance must not be used without the fuse cover fitted.

If the plug is unsuitable, it should be dismantled and removed from the supply cord and an appropriate plug fitted as detailed below. If you remove the plug it must not be connected to a 13 amp socket and the plug must be disposed of immediately.

The wires of the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE – NEUTRAL BROWN – LIVE

The wire which is coloured Blue, must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Black.

The wire which is coloured Brown, must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured Red.

If any other plug is used, a 5 amp fuse must be fitted either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution board.

CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL IN THE PLUG WHICH IS MARKED E OR WITH THE EARTH SYMBOL ( ) OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.
