Storage After all the components have been washed and dried, re-assemble the blender and stow it out of direct sunlight and out of the reach of children.The cable may be wound around the lugs at the bottom of the appliance for easier storage.

Cleaning Cleaning the blender jug:1. Pour about 500ml of warm soapy water into the jug and place the jug on the base.2. Turn and hold the Selector knob to ‘P’ for a few seconds to loosen any food particles

and free them from the blade.• Remove the jug, pour away the water and rinse in fresh running water. Repeat 1

and 2 by fresh water.• Alternatively the jug may be immersed in warm soapy water and cleaned using a

long handled brush. Do not touch the blade when cleaning.• Wash the lid and stopper separately in warm soapy water, rinse and allow to dry.• CAUTION: The jug body should be handled carefully. The jug contains moving

parts - do not leave the jug immersed in water for any longer than necessary to clean it or you may affect the efficient running of the blender.

• DO NOT wash the jug or attachments in a dishwasher.

Cleaning the base:• Ensure the blender is switched off and unplugged from the mains.• Wipe the outer surface of the motor unit with a damp cloth. Never use abrasive

cleaners or scouring creams.

Your blender and its components Operation • Make sure the jug and the lid are secure and in the LOCK position.• Set the selector switch to ‘0’.• Plug your blender into the mains and switch on the power.

Blender's Operation Modes

Continuous (Normal) operation

Pulsed operation

• Select the desired operating speed. There are 5 speeds. Move the Selector knob progressively to the right to increase the speed. When you start blending use a low speed to begin with and gradually increase the speed if necessary.

• To stop the operation, turn the knob back to ‘0’.

Use this mode where ingredients need to be blended in small repeated bursts.• Turn the Selector knob to ‘P’ and hold

it there for a short period.• To stop the operation, release the knob

which will automatically return to ‘0’.

After Use After you have �nished blending: • Set the Selector knob ‘0’.• Hold the jug with the handle carefully and turn it clockwise (towards you) to release

the jug. (This may be easier with one hand on the base and one hand holding the jug handle).

• To pour out the contents, rotate the lid of the jug anti-clockwise to free it and then lift off the lid. Pour or spoon the contents out carefully.

• Switch the blender off to “0” and unplug it after use.• Remove the jug from the base.

Before Use • Before using your blender for the first time, wash the jug, blade assembly, lid and

stopper. Rinse throughly and dry.• Place the base unit on a stable surface, free from heat and moisture and within

easy reach of a mains outlet. The mains cable should not be taut.

Preparing and Filling the ingredients• Cut the ingredients into 25mm (1”) cubes before placing them into the blender jug.

If the food is very solid or dry, cut the pieces into smaller cubes.• Fill the blender jug with the ingredients.• Do not overfill the jug. The maximum capacity is 1600 ml, but we suggest you do not

exceed 1250 ml. If you are preparing a large quantity use several smaller batches.• If the ingredients are very dry, put some liquid into the jug. You should never

try to reduce dry ingredients in the blender.

Fitting the lid• Place the lid in the top of the jug and turn the lid fully clockwise. If the lid is properly

secured, you will hear a “click” sound.

Fitting the stopperThe stopper has an integral measuring cup useful for measuring small amounts.• Place the stopper in the slots in the lid and turn fully clockwise to lock. If the stopper

is properly secured, you will hear a “click” sound. To avoid splashing, always operate the blender with the stopper firmly in place.

Fitting the jug to the base• Place the jug on the blade assembly as show. The jug will fit only one way round. If

the jug is not properly fitted to the base the blender will not start.
