Grinding and milling harder, single-ingredient items• Coffee beans• Nuts• Cinnamon sticks• Dried fruitNotes:• Do not use the MAX level marking on the short cup for dry grinding/milling option, as the volume contained will not give the desired result.• For dry grinding/milling, do not fill the ingredients to more than 150g.
Operation
Notes:• Never overfill the cups above the MAX level indicators.• Do not mash or grind-heavy foods (eg potatoes) or stir thick mixtures (eg dough) in this product.• Do not operate the blender while empty.• Never blend ingredients for longer than 30 seconds without turning the unit off and allowing it to cool down.
Blending1. Place the motor base on a flat, level, stable surface. Ensure the power cord is unplugged.2. Clean and cut all solid ingredients into pieces small enough to fit, then place them into either the large or medium cup, then pour in any liquid ingredients.3. Ensure the seal ring is seated properly in the pulverizing blade subassembly, then tighten the blade subassembly clockwise on top of the cup.4. Position the cup assembly onto the motor base and turn anti-clockwise to align the cup tabs with the corresponding slots on the motor base. (Turning anti-clockwise will ensure that the drive cog on the cup assembly will always align properly with the drive gear on the motor base). At this stage,DO NOT push the cup down or lock it into position. Doing so will start the unit up automatically if it is plugged into a power supply.5. Plug the power cord in. The appliance is now ready to operate. While the unit is blending, please hold the unit steady with one hand to avoid abnormal wobbling.Note: Once the appliance is connected to a power supply, it can only be operated by pushing the cup down (for short pulsing) or pushing down and turning clockwise to lock (for continuous running). There is no ON/OFF switch on this device.Note: Never blend ingredients for longer than 1 minute at a time. Allow the motor to cool for a few minutes after each minute of operating. Overheating the unit can cause permanent damage to the unit. If the motor does stop working, unplug the motor base and let it cool for a few minutes before attempting to use it again.Note: if the blade is not running smoothly, stop the unit and add some more liquid, or reduce the number of solid ingredients in the cup.6. On completion of the blending process, turn the cup anti-clockwise (if locked in) and/or release the downward pressure on the cup to turn off. Remove the cap from the motor base and if the appliance is not being used any further, switch off at the power outlet and unplug the cord.7. After removing the cap from the motor base, place the cup upside down and unscrew the blade assembly from the cup in an anti-clockwise direction. Pour the mixed contents into another container, or simply screw a sipping ring onto the cup if consuming the contents directly. For later consumption, you can alternatively screw a storage lid onto the cup and place it into a refrigerator.
For Grinding/Milling
Note: the large and medium cup sizes are for blending and storage use. The small cup should only be used for grinding/milling functions.
- Place the motor base on a flat, level, stable surface. Ensure the power cord is unplugged.
- Fill the small cup with the ingredients that you wish to grind, such as coffee beans, nuts, cinnamon sticks, dried fruits etc..
- Screw the pulverizing blade assembly onto the small size cup in a clockwise direction and tighten the seal. Note: Always make sure that the seal is properly seated in the rim before tightening.Note: The maximum grinding/milling volume should not exceed 150g.
- Position the cup assembly onto the motor base and turn anti-clockwise to align the cup tabs with the corresponding slots on the motor base. (Turning anti-clockwise will ensure that the drive cog on the cup assembly will always align properly with the drive gear on the motor base). At this stage, DO NOT push the cup down or lock it into position. Doing so will start the unit up automatically if it is plugged into a power supply.
- Plug the power cord in. The appliance is now ready to operate. While the unit is blending, please hold the unit steady with one hand to avoid abnormal wobbling.Note: Once the appliance is connected to a power supply, it can only be operated by pushing the cup down (for short pulsing) or pushing down and turning clockwise to lock (for continuous running). There is no ON/OFF switch on this device.Note: to prevent the unit from overheating, dry ingredients must not be processed for longer than 25 seconds at a time.

- On completion of the grinding process, turn the cup anti-clockwise (if locked in) and/or release the downward pressure on the cup to turn off. Remove the cap from the motor base and if the appliance is not being used any further, switch off at the power outlet and unplug the cord.
- After removing the cap from the motor base, place the cup upside down and unscrew the blade assembly from the cup in an anti-clockwise direction.
- Tip the ground ingredients into a separate container, or alternatively (if not immediately using), simply place the storage lid onto the small cup to keep the contents fresh for later use.
- If the appliance is not being used to process more batches, switch the power supply off and unplug the unit.
