IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
CAUTION: PLEASE TAKE CARE WHEN UNPACKING. SOME OF THE ATTACHMENTS
ARE VERY SHARP.
1. Do not immerse the base of your blender in water or any other liquid. Simply wipe with soft cloth
moistened with a mild detergent solution.
2. Close adult supervision is necessary when using this or any appliance where children are present.
3. Always allow the machine to come to a complete stop before removing the jug.
4. Never leave the appliance connected to the mains and unattended.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts. Always wait until the motor has stopped before opening the lid of the
blender jug.
6. Do not use any attachments other than those supplied. To do so would invalidate your warranty.
7. Do not let the cord hang over the edge or counter top.
8. Never interfere with or try to bypass the safety switches.
9. Handle the blades with extreme care. They are very sharp.
10. Do not use out doors.
11. Please note that this appliance is for domestic use only.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
BROWN - LIVE (L)
BLUE - NEUTRAL (N)
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• The BLUE wire is the NEUTRAL and must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter
N or coloured BLACK
• The BROWN wire is the LIVE and must be connected to the terminal, which is marked with the letter L
or coloured RED.
Always ensure that the cord grip is positioned and securely fastened.
WARNING: ON NO ACCOUNT MUST EITHER THE LIVE OR NEUTRAL WIRES BE CONNECTED TO THE
EARTH TERMINAL
IMPORTANT
THE BLENDER IS EQUIPPED WITH A SAFETY INTERLOCK SWITCH. THIS IS FITTED TO PREVENT THE
MOTOR FROM BEING ACTIVATED WHILE THE MACHINE IS DISASSEMBLED. THE MOTOR WILL NOT RUN
UNLESS THE BLENDER JUG IS PROPERLY LOCKED INTO PLACE.
ASSEMBLY
Before first use it is a good idea to familiarise yourself with the assembly/disassembly of the
unit. Note the position of the blender jug in relation to the base (as shown on the front cover of
this book). To attach the blender jug position it over the base and align the arrows. Turn the jug
clockwise to lock it into position. Note: the base is equipped with a safety switch. The motor
will not run unless the blender jug is fitted properly.
To remove the blender jug, turn it anti-clockwise and lift it away from the base.
SETTINGS
There are 3 settings 1, 2 and P (pulse). Setting 1 is low speed and is usually best for chopping
vegetables, fruit or meat pieces. Setting 2 is faster and is usually best when you want to add
some air to the mixture e.g. milk shakes etc. The (P) pulse setting allows for more control over
the blending/chopping process. There may be occasions were you don’t want the food pieces to
be chopped too finely. The pulse setting is ideal for this type of blending. In pulse mode the
switch will spring back to the 0 (off) position when released.
Cleaning
When cleaning this product please observe the following precautions:
• Always ensure the unit is switched off & unplugged from the mains
• Exercise extreme caution when handling the metal blades. These are very sharp.
All parts except the main unit can be washed with warm soapy water, rinsed and dried
thoroughly. The glass jug and lid are dishwasher-safe.
