Notice for Operation

• For safety reason, the appliance cannot be turned on until the blender jar is placed on the unit base.
• If the motor is operating at a slow speed for a prolonged period, the food is too thick, or there is not enough liquid, the motor can become overheated and the temperature monitoring system will be triggered to stop operation. In this case, switch off and unplug the appliance, let the unit base cool off for 45 minutes, place it at a location with good ventilation, or use a fan to lower its temperature. The system will reset and the blender can be used again.
• During operation, close the lid tightly to avoid contents from spraying, and potential hazards.
• Keep hands and utensils out of the blender jar while the motor is running to prevent the possibility of severe personal injuries and/or damages.
• When making hot beverages such as soybean milk, and bisque etc, please check whether the lid is secured tightly to prevent it from coming off. It is advisable to start operation at a low speed setting and then increase the speed gradually, or use the Pulse mode.
• Always put liquids and soft textured foods into the blender jar first before adding hard textured foods or ice cubes.
• When operation finishes, please wait until the blade assembly comes to a complete stop before taking off the blender jar to avoid damage to the motor.
• If there is a scorching smell coming from the blender, stop operation immediately. It may be caused by the abrasion of an unlevelled cushion base or overheating due to too much content in the jar.
• When making sauces (e.g. almond sauce, jam and sesame sauce) or stuffings and nuts, put in at least 2 cups and no more than 3 cups of ingredients. Keep blending time under 2 minutes to avoid overheating. Too much ingredients may lead to overloading and overheating of the motor. In this case, wait till the motor has cooled down before resuming operation.
• When blending thick and sticky food using high speed, please start operation at low speed first. If blending doesn’t begin, disconnect the power and stir the content using a rubber stirrer to get rid of the air bubbles trapped in the food. Then close the lid and resume operation.
