OPErATING INSTrUCTIONS
NOTE:
When using your blender for the first time, you may notice an odor coming from the motor. This is
normal and will dissipate with use.
1.
Add food or liquid into the container ensuring not to exceed the 'MAX' mark.
2.
Place the blender lid firmly into position on the top of the container. If not already in place, insert the clear
inner lid into the blender lid.
3.
Turn your blender ON. The blender will start to operate. The speed can be changed at any time during
the blending process.
4.
To stop blending at any time, turn switch to OFF position or switch 'OFF'.
5.
At the end of use, always ensure your blender is turned off by pressing or switching 'OFF'. Then unplug
the cord. Ensure the motor and blades have completely stopped before attempting to move. Disassemble,
clean, and store the appliance.
NOTE:
During the blending process, ingredients may stick to the sides of the container. To push the food
back onto the blades, switch 'OFF' and remove the power cord. Remove the lid and use a rubber spatula to
scrape down the sides of the container. Replace the lid before blending.
NOTE:
If any moisture or liquid appears on top of the motor base during blending, switch 'OFF'. Remove
the container. Wipe the motor base immediately with a dry cloth or paper towelling. Check that the container
is correctly assembled.
hOW TO usE ThE PLuNgER/sPATuLA
•
The Plunger/Spatula helps mix very thick mixtures. While the machine is running, and only through the lid
plug opening, use the Plunger/Spatula to push ingredients into the blades. We suggest using when
making frozen ice creams and nut butters, or to purée fruits and vegetables.
•
The round disk (near the top of the Plunger/Spatula) and lid prevents the Plunger/Spatula from hitting
the blades when the lid is secured properly in the locked position.
•
The container should not be more than two-thirds full when the Plunger/Spatula is used during blending.
•
Do not use the Plunger / Spatula for more than 30 consecutive seconds (to avoid overheating).
•
If the food does not circulate, the blender may have a trapped air bubble. Carefully remove the inner lid while
making sure the main lid stays firmly in place. Release the air bubble by inserting the Plunger / Spatula
through the inner lid opening.
•
Hold the Plunger/Spatula straight down. If this does not help the ingredients circulate, point
the Plunger / Spatula toward the side or corner of the container.
FOR BEsT REsuLTs
•
Ensure all foods are cut into cubes (approx. 1 inch square) where appropriate to achieve an even result.
•
Do not put more than 2 cups of warm ingredients into the blender before blending commences. After
the blending process has begun and the blades are turning you may slowly add another 1½ cups of
ingredients through the opening in the lid if desired.
•
Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if the blender is ¼ to ½ full.
•
When using several ingredients, place liquid ingredients in the container before solid ingredients,
unless specified in the recipe. When blending thick or dry mixtures it may be necessary to use
the plunger/spatula to scrape down the sides of the container. Do not use metal utensils as they may
damage the blades or blender.
