Before first use

• Remove all stickers and labels from the blender and clean the motor base with a damp cloth.
• Remove the bottle from the blender.
• Wash and dry thoroughly (see section "Cleaning and care").

Danger of sudden start-up:
Make sure the blender is unplugged before fitting the bottle.

How to use the bottle

• Place the ingredients into the bottle (1), taking care not to exceed the maximum capacity (600ml).
  

Let hot liquids cool down to room temperature before pouring them into the bottle.
For best results, we recommend that you:

• add the hard ingredients first, then the soft ones and then the liquids;
• make sure that the maximum size of the hard ingredients is 1cm x 1cm;
• the liquid part should be at least 50% of the solid part;
• only add a maximum of 4 ice cubes (approximately 15g each) in combination with liquid ingredients. DO NOT add them to dry ingredients.

• Secure the blade support (2) to the bottle by turning it clockwise. Make sure that it is fastened tightly.
  

• 
  Take great care, as the blades and inserts are sharp.

• Place the base of the blender on a flat horizontal surface. Plug it into the power outlet.
• Turn the bottle over (1) and rest it on the motor base (4).
  
• Use the control knob (3) to select the required speed, 1 or 2 according to the result you wish to obtain.
  
• Gently press the bottle (1) downwards in order to start the appliance. The LED ring will remain on steadily until the bottle is released.
• To stop the blender, release the bottle (1). The product stops and the LED turns off.

The blender will not work if the bottle is not positioned correctly.

• 
  Do not shake the bottle during operation.
• 
  The blender can be used for up to 60 seconds at a time. Wait for 60 seconds before using it again.
• 
  If the motor stalls, turn off the blender immediately, unplug it from the power supply and allow it cool down for at least 10 minutes.

• After blending, and when the blades have stopped rotating, turn the control knob (3) to "0".
• Remove the bottle (1) from motor base (4) and turn it upside down. Rotate the blade assembly (2) anticlockwise to remove it.
  
  
• Screw the cap onto the bottle and insert the cover.
  

Safety lock system
The blender is fitted with a safety lock system that automatically switches off the blender when the bottle is removed. It is also equipped with a motor safety cut-out which trips if the motor becomes overheated.

Suggestions and general advice

• Remove any hard parts from foods to be blended (e.g. cores or stones from fruit, bones from meat etc.).
• Do not allow food residues to dry inside the bottle or on blade assembly for too long, as they could become very difficult to remove. We therefore recommend that you clean them immediately after use (see section "Cleaning and care").
• Some foods, such as carrots, may stain the bottle. We therefore recommend that you clean them immediately after use (see section "Cleaning and care").

Cleaning and care

Improper use. Risk of damage to surfaces:

• Do not use steam jets to clean the appliance.
• Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on parts with metallic finishes (e.g. anodised, nickelor chrome-plated).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (e.g. powder products, stain removers and metallic scourers).
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers.

Cleaning the motor base

To keep the outer surface of the blender motor base in good condition, it should be cleaned regularly after use. Let the appliance cool down first. Use a damp and soft cloth with mild detergent.

Cleaning the components

To make cleaning easer, we recommend that you clean the components immediately after use.

• All components, with the exception of the bottle blade assembly (2), are dishwasher safe.
• Alternatively, wash the components by hand using warm water and neutral detergent.
• Thoroughly dry the components before putting them away.
