Usage Guide

Choosing the right blade

Care is needed when handling the cutting blades, especially when removing the blade from the cup, emptying the cup and during cleaning. The blender comes with two pulverizing blades.

Pulverizing Blade Subassembly

• Chopping – foods like onions, garlic and carrots. Great for making dips such as salsa or bean dip.
• Blending – Pulverises ice for smoothies, frozen cocktails and milkshakes.
• Mixing – Pancake batters, muffins and quick breads are mixed in seconds.
• Grating – Hard and soft cheeses and chocolate are grated in seconds.
• Pureeing – Dishes such as hummus, all-natural soups and baby food are creamy smooth in seconds.
• Shaving Ice and Frozen Fruits – For tasty treats such as snowcones or fruit sorbets.
• Grinding Meats – Delicious chicken and ham salads or pates are ground in seconds. (Do not exceed 150g when grinding).

Grinding and milling harder, single-ingredient items
• Coffee beans
• Nuts
• Cinnamon sticks
• Dried fruit
Notes:
• Do not use the MAX level marking on the short cup for dry grinding/milling option, as the volume contained will not give the desired result.
• For dry grinding/milling, do not fill the ingredients to more than 150g.

Operation

Notes:
• Never overfill the cups above the MAX level indicators.
• Do not mash or grind-heavy foods (eg potatoes) or stir thick mixtures (eg dough) in this product.
• Do not operate the blender while empty.
• Never blend ingredients for longer than 30 seconds without turning the unit off and allowing it to cool down.

Blending
1. Place the motor base on a flat, level, stable surface. Ensure the power cord is unplugged.
2. Clean and cut all solid ingredients into pieces small enough to fit, then place them into either the large or medium cup, then pour in any liquid ingredients.
3. Ensure the seal ring is seated properly in the pulverizing blade subassembly, then tighten the blade subassembly clockwise on top of the cup.
4. Position the cup assembly onto the motor base and turn anti-clockwise to align the cup tabs with the corresponding slots on the motor base. (Turning anti-clockwise will ensure that the drive cog on the cup assembly will always align properly with the drive gear on the motor base). At this stage,
DO NOT push the cup down or lock it into position. Doing so will start the unit up automatically if it is plugged into a power supply.
5. Plug the power cord in. The appliance is now ready to operate. While the unit is blending, please hold the unit steady with one hand to avoid abnormal wobbling.
Note: Once the appliance is connected to a power supply, it can only be operated by pushing the cup down (for short pulsing) or pushing down and turning clockwise to lock (for continuous running). There is no ON/OFF switch on this device.
Note: Never blend ingredients for longer than 1 minute at a time. Allow the motor to cool for a few minutes after each minute of operating. Overheating the unit can cause permanent damage to the unit. If the motor does stop working, unplug the motor base and let it cool for a few minutes before attempting to use it again.
Note: if the blade is not running smoothly, stop the unit and add some more liquid, or reduce the number of solid ingredients in the cup.
6. On completion of the blending process, turn the cup anti-clockwise (if locked in) and/or release the downward pressure on the cup to turn off. Remove the cap from the motor base and if the appliance is not being used any further, switch off at the power outlet and unplug the cord.
7. After removing the cap from the motor base, place the cup upside down and unscrew the blade assembly from the cup in an anti-clockwise direction. Pour the mixed contents into another container, or simply screw a sipping ring onto the cup if consuming the contents directly. For later consumption, you can alternatively screw a storage lid onto the cup and place it into a refrigerator.

For Grinding/Milling

Note: the large and medium cup sizes are for blending and storage use. The small cup should only be used for grinding/milling functions.

1. Place the motor base on a flat, level, stable surface. Ensure the power cord is unplugged.
2. Fill the small cup with the ingredients that you wish to grind, such as coffee beans, nuts, cinnamon sticks, dried fruits etc..
3. Screw the pulverizing blade assembly onto the small size cup in a clockwise direction and tighten the seal. Note: Always make sure that the seal is properly seated in the rim before tightening.
   Note: The maximum grinding/milling volume should not exceed 150g.
4. Position the cup assembly onto the motor base and turn anti-clockwise to align the cup tabs with the corresponding slots on the motor base. (Turning anti-clockwise will ensure that the drive cog on the cup assembly will always align properly with the drive gear on the motor base). At this stage, DO NOT push the cup down or lock it into position. Doing so will start the unit up automatically if it is plugged into a power supply.
5. Plug the power cord in. The appliance is now ready to operate. While the unit is blending, please hold the unit steady with one hand to avoid abnormal wobbling.
   Note: Once the appliance is connected to a power supply, it can only be operated by pushing the cup down (for short pulsing) or pushing down and turning clockwise to lock (for continuous running). There is no ON/OFF switch on this device.
   Note: to prevent the unit from overheating, dry ingredients must not be processed for longer than 25 seconds at a time. Turn the unit off and let it cool down to room temperature before you continue processing.
6. On completion of the grinding process, turn the cup anti-clockwise (if locked in) and/or release the downward pressure on the cup to turn off. Remove the cap from the motor base and if the appliance is not being used any further, switch off at the power outlet and unplug the cord.
7. After removing the cap from the motor base, place the cup upside down and unscrew the blade assembly from the cup in an anti-clockwise direction.
8. Tip the ground ingredients into a separate container, or alternatively (if not immediately using), simply place the storage lid onto the small cup to keep the contents fresh for later use.
9. If the appliance is not being used to process more batches, switch the power supply off and unplug the unit.

Care and Cleaning

Caution: always ensure the product is unplugged from the electrical outlet before relocating, assembling, disassembling or cleaning it, and wait until it has cooled down sufficiently before cleaning. This product contains NO user-serviceable parts.

Notes:
• Unplug the blender before you start cleaning it.
• Wait until the blender has cooled down before cleaning it.
• All detachable parts can be cleaned with water.
• Clean the motor base with a slightly damp cloth.
• Do not immerse the motor base in any liquids.
• Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaning liquids to clean the blender.

1. Always wash immediately after use for easier cleaning. Do not let food dry in the cup as this will make the cleaning more difficult.
2. After you unplug the blender, detach the used accessories and parts, then clean them in warm soapy water. Rinse all accessories and parts under a tap, then dry thoroughly. 3. Wipe the motor base clean with a slightly damp cloth to remove any residue, then dry thoroughly. Never submerge the motor base in water or other liquids, or place in a dishwasher.
   Tips
   • Use a small brush (not included) to remove food particles lodged under the blades.
   • If some leftover particles dry onto the inside of the cup, fill the cup about 2/3 full of warm soapy water, then attach the milling blade subassembly. Place the cup and blade subassembly onto the motor base and plug the power cord into a wall outlet. Run the appliance for about 20-30 seconds to help clean the stuck ingredients. Pour the water out, then repeat the above steps with clean water. Empty the blender then dry thoroughly.

Caution: the nutrient blender attachments (short cup, tall cup, lid and ring) are all able to be washed in the top rack of the dishwasher, or alternatively they can be hand washed with warm soapy water and then rinsed.
Caution: always make sure that the seal ring is still inside after cleaning. The heat from some dishwashers may cause them to become loose and pop out.

CAUTION: Handle the blade carefully!
• Do not immerse the motor base in liquids.
• Do not use harsh chemicals on any part of the appliance.
• Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaning agents.
• Do not touch the blades as they are extremely SHARP and may cause injury. Do not attempt to remove blades from the blade subassembly for cleaning.
