Troubleshooting

When the jug is on the base and the control panel does not light up.

Ingredients

are dicult to

blend

Motor stops suddenly during operation.

1. Not plugged into electricity. Replug cord into power outlet.

2. Electricity not turned on. Check switch is turned to ON position.

Too many solid ingredients. Add more liquid

1. Too much food may cause motor to cut out. Turn

o. Remove some of the food and try again.

2. Long durations of operating or adding too much

hard food may trigger the protection mechanism. Rest the blender for 20–45 minutes then restart.

3. Voltage shortage. The power voltage is

unmatched or insucient for the blender. Make

sure the power supply is correct.

4. Adding too much food takes the working current

beyond the preset maximum. Rest the blender for 20 – 45 minutes and restart it.

Cleaning

After nishing your blending session, you can clean the jug in various ways

depending on the ingredients you have used.

• For thick or oily ingredients, add warm water to the jug with a few drops of detergent and blend for 30 seconds. Remove the jug and rinse with clean water. Wipe the main unit with a wet or dry cloth.

• Rinse the jug and lid directly under the tap and use a clean cloth to wipe up the residual water.

• Always place jug in upright position when leaving to dry. Try not to have liquid contacting the underside of the drive shaft.

Vacuum Blending

Vacuum blenders have been developed for people who are looking to maximize nutrition and reduce spoilage. A characteristic of a normal household blender is that the high speed blades immediately whisk lots of air into whatever ingredients you are blending. The process of blending smashes ingredients into tiny particles, giving the biggest possible surface area of contact between your food and oxygen.

Practically every molecule of the ingredients in a traditional blender is swimming in an oxygen rich bath, and your blended food immediately starts

to lose its nutritional value and avours as a result. This is why we always

recommend that a fresh smoothie is best consumed immediately.

A Vacuum Blender is a fantastic solution to this problem. The rst thing you

will notice about a smoothie made in a vacuum blender will be the colour.

Think about how quickly the brown discoloration occurs when you peel a carrot for example. This is exactly what happens when you blend and these millions of parts of surface area are exposed to the air. The colour of the blended ingredients will start to darken and deteriorate with exposure to oxygen.

With a Vacuum Blender, with the touch of a button, the air is removed from the blending jug, reducing the exposure to oxygen and creating a vibrant coloured smoothie. Secondly, the air in a normal blender will create lots of bubbles or froth. When using a Vacuum Blender, this froth is avoided and results in a more full-bodied smoothie which tastes rich and fresh.

Use the Vacuum Function with the storage accessories to remove air from dips, sauces, baby food, leftover wine and more to prolong freshness.
