HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Check that all parts are complete and not damaged. Choose the appropriate attachment to perform your desired task. The blender attachment is suitable forblending fruit or vegetables or for crushing ice, while the grinder attachment is suitable for grinding coffee beans. Clean the attachment in accordance with the section ‘CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE.

WARNING: The blade is sharp, so handle it with great care; and ensure that you unplug the appliance from the power outlet before attaching or removing parts.

HOW TO USE THE PRODUCT:

  1. Peel or core the fruit or vegetable items then cut them into small pieces.
  2. Place the food pieces into the jar to be blended. Usually, a certain amount of purified water has to be added to facilitate the smooth running of the appliance. The proportion of food and water should be 2:3. The amount of mixture should not exceed the max. level as indicated on the jar.Warning: Blending maximum level load or hard fruits and vegetables must be sure that the speed selector is setting at the highest speed (speed 10). If the speed is used too low, the motor will be damaged due to insufficient torque. When the motor speed is found to be too slow, you must immediately use a higher speedsetting to blend or turn the speed selector to “0” to stop blending!RECIPE
    FOOD TYPE SPEC WEIGHT SPEED
    Carrot (apple, pear, etc.) Cut into 15mm*15mm*15mm Carrot: 600g Water: 900g High speed
    Carrot (apple, pear, etc.) Cut into 6mm*6mm*6mm Carrot: 50g Water: 150g Low speed

  7. If you want to add ingredients while the blender is working, remove the measuring cup and insert them through the opening in the lid.
  8. When crushing ice or hard food, keep one hand firmly on the lid.
  9. When the consistency you want is obtained, turn the control to the ‘O’ position.Note:1) For each use, the total continuous or consecutive operating time should not exceed 2 minutes. At least 10 minutes rest time must be maintained between two cycles of continuous or consecutive use, and the unit must cool to room temperature before the next cycle of use begins.2) If you want to stop the appliance while it is operating, turn the control to the ‘O’ position at any time.
  10. The ‘P’ setting is for breaking ice and operating in pulses.

BLENDER OPERATION

  2. Open the jar cover by turning it anticlockwise, and place it on the surface. Peel and core fruit or vegetable items and cut them into small pieces, then put the pieces into the jar. Usually, a certain amount of purified water has to be added to facilitate the smooth running of the appliance. The amount of mixture should not exceed the max. level as indicated on the jar, nor sit lower the min. level. The best proportion of fruit or vegetables and water is 2:3.NOTE: The blender is not suitable for beating egg whites, mashing potatoes, mixing dough, or extracting juice from fruit or vegetables.
  3. Put the cover back on the jar and turn it clockwise.
  4. If necessary, you may put ingredients into the jar through the central opening in its cover during operation, then replace the measuring cup. Align the tabs of the measuring cup with the grooves in the jar cover; push the cup down and turn it clockwise until it’s secured.
  5. Ensure the speed control is set to the ‘O’ position, then plug the appliance into a power outlet and set the speed control to your desired setting. You can select the pulse setting without releasing the control if you want to accelerate the process of blending. Detailed information is shown in Fig. 1 below.NOTE: Make sure the jar cover is properly attached before operating the appliance, and never open the jar cover during operation.
  6. Do not run the appliance for more than 2 minutes at a time; you must also wait until the unit has cooled to room temperature before starting the next operating cycle.
  7. Turn the speed control to the ‘O’ position once the mixture has been blended to your desired consistency.

  6. When blending a load that comes up to around the maximum level, or when blending hard fruit or vegetables, be sure that the speed control is set to the highest speed (speed 2). If too slow a speed is used, the motor will be damaged due to insufficient torque.
