Functions

GETTING STARTED

ON | OFF
The ON | OFF button powers the unit into READY mode.

CANCEL button
Cancels any function.

MANUAL FEATURES

Electronic speed control
There are 4 electronic speed buttons from MIX through to LIQUIFY.
MIX combines more delicate foods with a folding motion, and is good for combining wet and dry ingredients. LIQUIFY is the fastest setting, and is ideal for breaking down ingredients to make cocktails and other finely blended mixtures.

PULSE
The momentary pulse button is ideal for processing foods that need sudden bursts of power. It also encourages ingredients to move around the jug.

PRESET PROGRAMS

SMOOTHIE (60 seconds)
This program has been optimized to combine and aerate frozen and liquid ingredients together. The SMOOTHIE function has a unique processing technique that blends the denser ingredients at lower speed, then increases in speed as ingredients thicken. This will happen several times while blending smoothies. The programming also circulates the ingredients for maximum aeration and creamy texture.

AUTO CLEAN (60 seconds)

Use to remove most of the ingredients off the blender walls and blades. Add 2 cups (500ml) warm soapy water, and press the clean button. For harder to clean, sticky or thick ingredients, add ½ teaspoon of dish liquid detergent for extra cleaning power. For best results, clean the blender jug this way immediately after use. Soaking can damage the surface of the jug, especially if citrus has been blended. After washing in detergent, rinse with plain water and allow to dry immediately.

NOTE

If the blender is running and a different button is pressed, the speed will automatically switch to that program without stopping.

Troubleshooting

Motor doesn’t start or blade doesn’t rotate	Check that the power plug is properly inserted into the power outlet. Check the ON \| OFF button and selected function button is illuminated. If all lights are flashing in unison, refer to the ‘blender overload’ solutions below.
Food is unevenly chopped	This can happen when too much food is being blended at one time. Try a smaller amount, and work in batches if necessary. The ingredients may be too large. Try cutting into smaller pieces. For best results, ingredients should be in pieces no larger than 2cm
Food is chopped too fine or is watery	Try blending for shorter period of time. Use the PULSE function for better control.
Food sticks to blade and jug	The mixture may be too thick. Try adding more liquid and/or using a slower speed for blending.
Blender overloaded (all lights flashing)	This blender has overload protection to prevent damage to the motor. Unplug and allow the blender to cool down for 15 minutes. Once cooled, you will be able to use the blender as usual again. We recommend blending in smaller batches, or cutting ingredients into smaller batches.

Care & Cleaning

Jug and lid

To avoid food drying on blades, jug and lid, follow the below steps as soon as possible after use:

Rinse most of the ingredients off the jug and lid.

Add 500ml of warm water and press the AUTO CLEAN button. If thick or sticky ingredients require extra cleaning power add a few drops of dish liquid detergent.
Rinse the jug and lid again and/or wash separately in warm soapy water with a soft cloth or bottle brush.
Take care to rinse all detergent off the jug after cleaning.

It is most effective to clean the jug immediately after use.

Citrus
Exposure to citrus oil may affect the clarity and longevity of the blending jug. After washing in detergent, rinse with plain water thoroughly, and allow to dry immediately. Do not soak.

Motor base
To clean the motor base, wipe with a soft, damp cloth then dry thoroughly. Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.

Cleaning agents
Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners on either the motor base or the jug, as they may scratch the surface. Use only warm soapy water with a soft cloth.

Dishwasher
The blender jug and lid can be washed in the dishwasher on a standard wash cycle.
Jug can be placed on the bottom shelf, however the lid and inner measuring cap should be washed on the top shelf only. The inner lid and citrus cone should be hand washed only.

Stubborn food stains and odours
Strong smelling foods such as garlic, fish and some vegetables such as carrots may leave an odor or stain on the blender jug and lid. To remove, soak blender jug and lid for 5 minutes in warm soapy water. Then wash with a mild detergent and warm water, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Store jug with the lid off.

Storage
Store your blender upright with the blender jug assembled on the motor base, or beside it. Do not place anything on top. To allow air to circulate, keep the lid off.
