BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using your Sage® Blender for the first time, remove any packaging material and promotional labels.

Wash the lid, inner lid, blender jug (refer to “Care & Cleaning”) in warm, soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not place parts in the dishwasher (with the exception of the blender jug).

Please refer to the “Care & Cleaning” Section for further details. The motor base can be wiped with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

ASSEMBLING AND ATTACHING THE BLENDER

Step 1Place the motor base on a flat, dry surface such as a counter-top. Ensure that the motor base is turned off at the ON / OFF button and the power cord is unplugged.

Step 2With the blender jug in the upright position place it on the motor base. The handle of the blender can be positioned to the left or right hand side of the appliance.

Step 3Add food or liquid into the blender jug ensuring not to exceed the ‘MAX’ mark.

Place the blender lid firmly into position on the top of the blender jug. Insert the clear inner measuring lid into the blender lid and turn clockwise to lock into position.

Your Sage® Blender features a Sage® Assist™ Lid. This allows the lid to fit tightly onto the blender jug, avoiding displacement during operation. The ring pull design allows the user to easily remove the lid with a simple leverage action.

Step 4Plug power cord into a 220-­240V power outlet and turn on.

Step 5Press the ON / OFF button on the far left of the control panel to turn the blender on.

The ON / OFF button will illuminate and flash. The LCD timer screen will illuminate with ’00’ displayed.

  • Flashing light indicates ready to operate.Avoid any contact with moveable parts while in operation.
  • Do not fill the blender jug above the ‘MAX’ line. When the blender jug is filled at or near the ‘MAX’ line place one hand on the blender lid to avoid displacement of the lid during operation.

WARNING

Oils in citrus rind can damage the material of your blender jug if being exposed to it for a longer period. Always clean your blender jug immediately after processing citrus rind.

MANUAL SPEED SELECTION ON / OFF

The ON / OFF button powers the unit into READY mode.

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL

There are 5 electronic speed buttons from MIX through to LIQUIFY.MIX combines more delicate foods with a folding motion, and is good for combining wet and dry ingredients.LIQUIFY is the fastest setting, and is ideal for breaking down ingredients to make cocktails and other finely blended mixtures.Select the required speed (1 to 5) by pressing the corresponding speed button. The blender will start to operate and the selected speed button will illuminate. The ON / OFF button will illuminate and cease to flash.The LCD timer screen will start counting up in one second increments until 120 seconds is reached.

NOTE

Operate the blender only for the appropriate amount of time required ­ do not over blend. When 120 seconds is reached, the blender will automatically stop blending and the selected speed button illumination will go out.The ON / OFF button will illuminate and flash. After a few seconds the LCD timer screen will revert to ’00’.

  • The Sage® Blender will automatically stop blending after 120 seconds. This is a safety feature and restricts wear on the motor.
  • The speed can be changed at any time during the blending process. Each time a new speed is selected its button will illuminate and the previous speed button illumination will go out. The number of seconds on the LCD timer screen will continue to count upwards to 120 seconds unless interrupted.

Count-up timerThe blender timer counts up in seconds as it blends on one of the 5 electronic speeds from MIX to LIQUIFY. When using the timer this way, the blender will stop after 2 minutes.

PRESET PROGRAMS

Your Sage® Blender features three additional functions, ‘AUTO PULSE/ICE CRUSH’, ‘GREEN SMOOTHIE’ and ‘SMOOTHIE’. These three pre-programmed cycles automatically adjust the blending time and speeds to optimise blending results. The maximum amount of ice cubes the blender can blend at any one time is 1 standard ice tray or 250g. Select the required function by pressing the corresponding function button. The blender will start to operate and the selected function button will illuminate. The ON / OFF button will illuminate and stop flashing. The LCD timer screen will start counting down in one second increments until ’00’ is displayed.

AUTO CLEANUse to remove most of the ingredients off the blender walls and blades. Add 2 cups warm soapy water, and press the clean button.For harder to clean, sticky or thick ingredients, add ½ teaspoon of dish liquid detergent for extra cleaning power. For best results, clean the blender jug this way immediately after use.

NOTE

If the blender is running and a different button is pressed, the speed will automatically switch to that program without stopping.

WARNING

Never place anything other than food and liquids in the blender while the motor is running.

NOTE

Use the PULSE button when the food that is being processed is too thick or coarse to circulate within the blender jug.At the end of use, always ensure the blender is turned off by pressing the ON / OFF button on the control panel. Then unplug the cord. Ensure the motor and blades have completely stopped before attempting to move the appliance, or when the Sage® Blender is not in use and before disassembling, cleaning and storing.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION
Motor doesn’t start or blade doesn’t rotate • Check the blender jug and lid are securely in place.• Check the ON / OFF button and selected function button is illuminated.• Check that the power plug is properly inserted into the power outlet.
Food is unevenly chopped • This can happen when too much food is being blended at one time. Try a smaller amount, and work in batches if necessary.• The ingredients may be too large. Try cutting into smaller pieces. For best results, ingredients should be in pieces no larger than 2cm.
Food is chopped too fine or is watery • Try blending for shorter period of time. Use the PULSE function for better control.
Food sticks to blade and jug • The mixture may be too thick. Try adding more liquid and/or using a slower speed for blending.
Blender overloaded (all lights flashing) • This blender has overload protection to prevent damage to the motor. OVERLOAD PROTECTION will flash on the LCD. Unplug and allow the blender to cool down for 30 minutes. Once cooled, you will be able to use the blender as usual again.• We recommend blending in smaller batches, or cutting ingredients into smaller batches.
Care & Cleaning

Jug and lidIn order to keep your Jug clean and avoid food drying on the blades and jug, follow the below steps as soon as possible after use

  • Rinse most of the ingredients off the jug and lid.
  • Fill the jug with 500ml of warm water and press the AUTO CLEAN button. If thick or sticky ingredients require extra cleaning power add a few drops of dish liquid detergent.
  • Rinse the jug and lid again and/or wash separately in warm soapy water with a soft cloth or bottle brush.
  • It is most effective to clean the jug immediately after use.

Motor baseTo clean the motor base, wipe with a soft, damp cloth then dry thoroughly. Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.

Cleaning agentsDo not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners on either the motor base or the jug, as they may scratch the surface. Use only warm soapy water with a soft cloth.

DishwasherThe blender jug and lid can be washed in the dishwasher on a standard wash cycle. The jug can be placed on the bottom shelf, however the lid and inner measuring cap should be washed on the top shelf only. Be aware that washing parts on a regular base in the dishwasher can shorten the life of them due to prolonged exposure to harsh detergents, hot water and pressure.

Stubborn food stains and odoursStrong smelling foods such as garlic, fish and some vegetables such as carrots may leave an odour or stain on the blender jug and lid. To remove, soak blender jug and lid for 5 minutes in warm soapy water. Then wash with a mild detergent and warm water, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Store jug with the lid off.

StorageStore your blender upright with the blender jug assembled on the motor base, or beside it. Do not place anything on top. To allow air to circulate, keep the lid off.
