Getting Started
Before First Use
• This product has been packaged to protect it against transportation damage.
Unpack the appliance and keep the original packaging carton and materials
in a safe place. It will help prevent any damage if the product needs to be
transported in the future, and you can use it to store the appliance when it
is not in use. In the event the carton is to be disposed of, please recycle all
packaging materials where possible.
• Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, so
ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach and disposed of safely.
• Inspect all parts of the appliance for visual damage. Unwind the power cord
to its full length and inspect the cord and plugs for damage. Do not use the
appliance if the appliance or its cord have been damaged or are not working
properly. In case of damage, contact our after sales support line for advice.
• Make sure you have read and understood all instructions and warnings in
this manual. Refer to the Product Overview on page 7 to familiarise yourself
with the product and identify all parts. Pay particular attention to the safety
instructions on the previous pages.
• Wash all parts that come into contact with food with a soft cloth or sponge
in warm water and mild detergent to remove any dust from transport or the
manufacturing process. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the motor base with a
damp cloth.
CAUTION: The blades are sharp: handle with care to avoid injury.
CAUTION: Never immerse the motor base in water for cleaning.
CAUTION!
• Handle the blender with extreme care, especially when assembling and
cleaning the appliance. The cutting blades are very sharp.
• Before switching on the appliance, make sure that the all parts are properly
assembled and the lid is closed.
• Do not touch moving parts during operation. Keep hands, hair, clothing and
utensils away from the cutting blades during use to reduce the risk of severe
injury to persons or damage to the appliance. Switch off the appliance and
wait until the blades have stopped moving before opening the lid.
Do not move the appliance while it is in use.
• To avoid personal injury or material damage, never try to defeat the safety
switch. The appliance will only operate with the blender jug properly placed
on the motor base.

Assembly
• Your new High Performance Blender comes with a set of Japanese stainless
steel blades (Fig. 1). This blade set is fully assembled at the base of the jug. You
do not have to assemble the blades, nor do you take them out of the jug for
cleaning.
• Make sure that the appliance is disconnected from the mains power supply and
switched off: the speed control dial should be set to [ 0 ] (Fig. 2).
Getting Started (Cont.)

• Place the jug assembly into position
on the motor base (Fig. 3), making
sure it is properly aligned on the drive
gear.
• Your blender is now ready for use.
NOTE
The blender jug must sit properly
on the base, otherwise the safety
switch will prevent the motor from
turning on.
• When operating the blender for the
first time, you may notice an odour
coming from the motor. This is due to
the parts being new and will subside
soon. It is no cause for concern.

Using the Blender
Your new High Performance Blender can be operated manually, where you adjust
the speed yourself by turning the Speed Control Dial clockwise to increase or
anticlockwise to decrease blending speed. Alternatively, you can choose one of
three automatic operation modes: Pulse, Ice-Crushing or Smoothie.
Preparation
• Place the blender jug on top of the motor base, making sure it is properly
aligned on the drive gear (see Fig. 3, page 9).
• Place the food you wish to blend into the blender jug.
• Make sure the lid of the blender jug is properly in place and the measuring cup
securely covers the pouring hole in the lid.
• Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, make sure the Speed
Control Dial is set to the OFF [ 0 ] position (see Fig. 2, page 9).
• When the appliance is plugged in, the "P" Pulse Mode Button will illuminate
red and flash, indicating that the blender is powered on. It will stop flashing
when you turn the dial to the left or right. (If the indicator does not flash, check
and ensure that the jug is properly in place on the base.)
Manual Operation
• Gradually turn the Speed Control Dial clockwise from
the [ 0 ] towards the [ MAX ] position (Fig. 5).
• Turn the dial back to [ 0 ] to stop operation.
Automatic Operation
• Turn the Speed Control Dial anticlockwise to [ M ]
(Fig. 6). The three mode buttons will flash blue.
• Select the appropriate mode and the relevant button will
stay illuminated. To cancel this mode, press the button
again and all three buttons will flash blue again.
• Pulse: Use this mode for processing ingredients
in short bursts of power. This is ideal for preparing
breadcrumbs, grinding nuts or crushing biscuits. As soon as you take your
finger off the button, operation will stop.
• Ice-Crushing: Use this mode for crushing ice cubes to fine consistency. The
blender will operate and stop operation automatically.
• Smoothie: Use this mode for blending smoothies and other liquid food to a
smooth consistency. The blender will operate automatically for two minutes
and then stop operation.

Instructions (Cont.)
Adding Ingredients
• To add ingredients to the jug during
operation, stop operation and remove
the lid plug/measuring cup from the
lid. Turn the cup anticlockwise and
take it out (Fig. 7).
• Add additional ingredients through the
pouring hole in the lid.
• Cover again before resuming
operation, or use the plunger.
Using the Plunger
• The specially designed plunger will
help you keep all ingredients in the
blade blending area during demanding
processing tasks.
• To use the plunger, stop operation,
remove the lid plug/measuring cup
from the lid and insert the plunger
through the pouring hole (Fig. 8).
• Slowly move the plunger down
towards the blades and around the
sides to push food pieces safely into
the blade blending area while the unit
is running.
CAUTION!
• Handle the blender with care, the cutting blades are very sharp.
• Always return the Speed Control Dial back to [ 0 ] after use.
• Do not use the blender for more than 3 minutes at any one time. For
longer blending tasks, allow the motor to rest for 1 minute before reuse to
prevent overheating and consequent damage.

Finishing Up
• When your ingredients are properly blended/processed, turn the Speed Control
Dial back to [ 0 ] and unplug the appliance from the power point.

For Bests Results
• Cut larger ingredients into smaller (2-3cm) pieces before adding them into the
blender jug.
• To achieve the best results when pureeing solid ingredients, place small
portions into the jug one by one instead of adding all ingredients at once.
• For blending solid or very thick liquid ingredients we recommend using the
blender in PULSE (P) mode to prevent the blades from becoming stuck.
• Use the plunger to remove thick mixtures from the side of the blender jug.
• For best blending of solid and liquid foods, pour the liquid into the jug first,
then add the solids. If required, gradually add more liquid through the pouring
hole in the lid.
• Freeze fresh fruit when it is in season to ensure you always have fruit on hand
and ready to blend for smoothies. Peel and chop fruit as necessary before
freezing. Frozen bananas make smoothies extra creamy.
• To prepare fruit smoothies using fresh fruit, peel, core and then cut the fruit into
pieces.
• Ensure all fruit juices are chilled before blending to keep drinks cold for longer.
• When making cocktails or other drinks with more than 6 ice cubes, use the Ice-
Crushing function to ensure the ice is crushed to fine consistency.
• When using ice-cream for thick shakes, take it out of the freezer 5–10 minutes
before blending, and add it to the blender jug in small chunks.
• Use the Pulse mode when processing harder foods such as nuts or biscuits.
• Never use the blender for processing hot liquids. Always allow hot ingredients
to cool to room temperature before blending.
• Do not overll the blending jug, never fill above the 2L marking. This will allow
some room for the blended ingredients to swirl around in the jug.

FAQs
Can I use the blender without the measuring cup inside the lid?
You can only use the blender without the measuring cup if you use the plunger to
assist with food processing. The pouring hole in the lid must always be covered
during processing, either with the measuring cup or with the plunger. Leaving the
hole uncovered means you risk food spilling out of the jug during processing.
Blended food is leaking out of the jug. What has gone wrong?
If food is leaking from the top of the jug, it may be overfilled. Remove some of the
contents for processing separately. Also make sure the lid and lid plug/measuring
cup are securely in place. If liquid is leaking out of the base of the jug, contact our
after sales support centre and arrange examination of the product.
How can I remove the blades from the blender jug for cleaning?
Don't! Never attempt to remove or disassemble the blades from the blender jug.
They are part of the jug and must not be removed. To clean the jug, simply let
the machine run an automatic blending cycle with a little water and detergent, as
described on the opposite page.
The blender is plugged in but it is not working.
Make sure that your power point is in working order and the appliance is properly
plugged in. Also ensure that the blender jug sits properly on the base. Turn the
Speed Control Dial to [ 0 ] and then to the desired speed.
The blender stopped working during processing.
After longer periods of processing, the overheat protection may stop the motor
in order to protect it from overheating. Switch off and unplug the unit and let the
motor cool down for 30 minutes, then restart.
What is the best way to puree cooked vegetables for baby food?
For pureeing, feed small portions into the jug one by one instead of adding all
ingredients at once. Depending on the type of vegetable, you may have to add a
little liquid for a creamier consistency.
Can I crush ice in the blender?
Yes, the blades are strong enough to crush ice. With the motor switched off, add
ice cubes to the blender jug, replace the lid and process using Ice-Crushing mode.
Can I make soup in the blender?
No, always let liquids cool to room temperature before processing. Processing hot
liquids may result in the unit exploding due to the steam created.

Cleaning and Care
Other Useful Information
IMPORTANT!
• Do not disassemble the blades! The blade set is a fully integrated part
of the blending jug. Do not attempt to remove the blades from the jug for
cleaning. Doing so will void your warranty and lead to leakage problems.
• Do not immerse! Never immerse the motor base of the blender in water or
other liquid. Never wash it under running water. Only wipe the motor base
with a well wrung out, damp cloth.
• What NOT to use for cleaning: Do not use alkaline, harsh chemical or
alcohol based cleansers for cleaning any part of the appliance. Do not use
abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or hard brushes.
Cleaning the Jug and Blades
• Always clean the blender immediately after use. Do not let food dry in the
blender jug, as this will make cleaning more difficult.
• After use, take the jug off the base and remove all food.
CAUTION: Take care to avoid injury, the blades are very sharp!
• Half fill the jug with lukewarm water and a drop mild detergent, then return the
jug onto the base. Close the lid and make sure the measuring cup is properly in
place. Turn the Speed Control Dial clockwise to [ MAX ] and let the blender run
on high speed for one minute to thoroughly clean the jug and blades. Empty the
jug and repeat the above process two more times with clean water to rinse the
jug and blades. Allow to air dry.
Cleaning the Motor Base
• Make sure the blender is disconnected from the power supply.
• Wipe the motor base only with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Remove any
stubborn spots by rubbing with a damp cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
