Always clean the blender thoroughly after using. To simplify the cleaning process, rinse the blend-
er jar immediately after use to prevent food from drying in it.

drops of mild dish soap. Ensure that the lid and vent cap are in place and press the CLEAN button.

before shutting o . Press the CLEAN button again at any time during the process to pause opera-
tion.
MOTOR BODY
Unplug the blender from the power source. Wipe the motor body with a damp sponge or cloth,
using a small amount of mild dish soap if needed. Do not use abrasive cleaners that could scratch
the surface and do not immerse the motor body in water.
BLENDING JAR AND LID
Remove the sealing ring and vent cap from the lid. Wash the blending jar, lid, sealing ring, and
vent cap in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher at a temperature setting below 149°F / 65°C

blending jar out of reach of children at all times.

USING YOUR BLENDER

1. Assemble the blender according to the instructions on Page 4. When you plug the blender in
with the blending jar locked in place, the indicator lights will ash once and turn o as the blend-
er enters standby mode.
2. The blender will shut o after 3 minutes in standby mode and can be reactivated by either
unplugging and plugging it back in or removing and replacing the blender jar.
3. Operate the blender using the manual speed control dial, the PULSE function, or one of the
built-in modes. Always rest one hand on top of the lid while blending to ensure the lid stays in
place.
4. MANUAL SPEED CONTROL: Turn the dial clockwise from OFF to start blending and continue
turning to increase speed. Turn the dial anti-clockwise to decrease speed and return to OFF to
stop.
5. PULSE BUTTON: Press and hold to run the blender at high speed and release to
stop. The blender will stop automatically if the button is held for 2 minutes.
6. SMOOTHIE and ICE CRUSH: When either button is pressed, the blender will run in that mode for
60 seconds and stop automatically. The indicator light will blink 3 times before shutting o .
7. As a safety feature, the speed control dial does not function during the automatic modes and
vice versa. To pause or cancel an automatic cycle, press the button again.

BLENDING TIPS

• The vent cap doubles as a measuring cup
Use it to measure and add ingredients without washing an extra container.
• Easily blend rm fruits and vegetables
Cut into 1-inch pieces and start blending at medium to high speed. Starting at too low a speed
can damage the motor.
• Be safe when blending hot liquids
Don't ll the blending jar more than halfway. Remove the vent cap, cover the opening with a
folded towel, and hold the towel in place with your hand while blending. Start at a low speed and
gradually increase.
• Add liquids rst and then solid ingredients for consistent blending and uniform mixing
• Protect the blades by using a rubber or plastic spatula to scrape down the sides of the jar, never
metal. Always stop the blender before inserting any kind of utensil.
