potatoes, grinding meat or mixing dough.
To prevent damage to the blender, do not blend hard foods such as bones,
shelled seafood, shelled nuts or large pieces of solid foods such as turnips,
squash, beets or carrots.
• Do not blend hard textured foods, such as frozen food, dry beans, coffee beans
or rice.
• Do not blend ice cubes in the blender. Add ice to your drinks before serving.
• Do not blend hot liquids or foods. Let the food cool down to room temperature
before blending.
• Do not blend with an empty jar to prevent the motor from overheating.
• When blending ingredients of harder consistencies, you may place one hand on
top of the lid to help support the jar.
RESETTING THE MOTOR
(OVERHEAT PROTECTION)
The blender is designed to protect itself from overheating. The motor will turn off if
the blender is overloaded, blended for too long, used with an empty jar, or if food is
jammed. Should this occur, follow this reset procedure:
1. Switch off and unplug the blender from the power socket.
2. Allow the blender to cool down for approximately 15 minutes.
3. Remove the glass jar from the electric base. Reduce the contents of the glass jar
if it is overloaded (above the “Max” mark). Check with a spatula to ensure that no
ingredients are jamming the blades.
4. Close the lid and re-install the glass jar on the electric base.
5. Once the motor has cooled down, the reset is complete. Plug the blender into
the wall socket and switch on.
To avoid overheating, keep the blending sessions short (less than 3 minutes, with
5 minutes rest in between) and do not exceed the “Max” mark on the glass jar.
CLEANING AND CARE
WARNING! Before cleaning, unplug the blender from the wall socket and remove
the glass jar from the motor base.
• DANGER OF ELECTROCUTION! Do not immerse the motor base, power cord or
plug in water or any other liquids. Never rinse them under the tap. Keep all
electrical parts dry.
• CAUTION: The blades are very sharp. Do not touch the blades. Handle with care.
• NOTE: Do not attempt to remove the blade assembly from the base of the glass
jar. The blade assembly and the glass jar form one complete unit, and should only
be disassembled by qualified personnel.
• Never use solvents, chemical or abrasive cleaning agents, wire brushes, sharp
objects or scouring pads to clean the appliance.
Quick cleaning method
To quickly clean the glass jar and blades with the PULSE function, fill the glass jar
half-full with warm water and a little dish detergent, close the lid and move the
control switch to the 0-PULSE position a few times. Remove the jar and rinse well.
General cleaning method
1. Clean the blender thoroughly after each use.
2. Clean the lid, feeding cap and glass jar with warm water and dish detergent. Use
a long-handled brush to clean the blades and the interior of the jug. Do not
touch the blades.
3. Wipe the external surface of the motor base with a soft cloth moistened with
water or dish detergent.
4. Allow all parts to dry completely before reassembling.
