Assembly

• This appliance requires parts to be cleaned

before use. See “Maintenance and Cleaning” for details.

Installing the jug

• Place the jug onto the motor unit, positioning

the line moulded into the base of the handle with the unlocked padlock symbol on the motor base.

• Turn the jug clockwise until the line is

positioned opposite the locked padlock symbol. Ensure that the motor unit and the jug are correctly assembled and securely locked in position.

Installing the lid and ﬁller cap

• Line up the circle symbol on the lid with the

unlocked padlock symbol on the jug.

• Lower the lid onto the jug, keeping the two

symbols aligned,

• Turn the lid clockwise until the circle symbol

lines up with the locked padlock symbol. Ensure that the lid and the jug are securely locked in position.

• To ﬁt the ﬁller cap, lower it onto the lid. Make

sure the lugs on the ﬁller cap ﬁt between the two cut-out slots on the lid.

• Push the ﬁller cap down to lock into position.

Installing the drip tray

• Slide the drip tray into the grooves on the

motor base.

Use

• Remove the jug lid and place the ingredients

inside the jug. For best results, ingredients should be cut into smaller pieces. Cut dry ingredients into smaller pieces before processing.

• Replace the jug lid ensuring that the ﬁller cap

is installed.

• Fit the jug onto the motor base. Ensure the

jug and the lid are ﬁtted correctly, otherwise the smoothie maker will not work.

Warning! Make sure that the speed control dial is set to the off position ‘0’ before plugging the smoothie maker

into the mains supply.

• Plug the motor unit into a suitable mains

supply and switch on at the socket.

• To start, set the speed control dial to setting

‘1’. To increase the speed, turn the speed control dial clockwise.

Note: ‘1’ is the slowest speed setting and ‘3’ is the fastest.

• Alternatively, blend the ingredients in short

bursts by turning and holding the speed control switch to the PULSE setting. Release it to stop.

Caution! Do not operate the unit continuously for more than one minute without a rest period of two minutes.

The ﬁller cap can be carefully removed to feed ingredients into the jug during processing if required.

Warning! Do not place your ﬁngers inside the jug when adding ingredients.

• Allow the ingredients to blend until smooth.

When processing is complete, set the speed control dial to the off ‘0’ position. Switch off and unplug the blender from the mains supply.

ENGLISH

Note: Always keep the ﬁller cap secured in position, unless ingredients are being added to the Blender.

Warning! Wait until all moving parts have stopped before removing the lid or jug.

• To serve a smoothie, simply press your glass

against the dispensing lever on the motor base.

• When the glass is full, release the lever.

Note: To help dispense the last amount of a

thick smoothie drink, add a few tablespoons of liquid to increase the ﬂow.

Note: Always wash immediately after use. Do not let food dry onto the jug, valve or dispensing assembly as this will make cleaning difﬁcult.

Using the smoothie maker to crush ice

Note: For best results defrost ice cubes slightly

before crushing. To crush home made (small) ice cubes ﬁll the jug to 750ml and add 200mls water. To crush shop bought (large) ice cubes add 15 ice cubes to the blender jug and add 200ml of water.

• Remove the jug lid and place recommended

ice cube and water quantity inside the jug.

• If you want to crush ice cubes, put not more

than 6 ice cubes (of approx. 25x35x25mm) in the blender jar and turn the control knob to pulse position a few times.

• Do not process a large quantity of solid

ingredients at the same time. To get good results, we advise you to process these ingredients in a series of small batches.

Caution! Do not operate the unit continuously for more than one minute without a rest period of two minutes.

• When blending is complete, switch off and

unplug the unit from the mains supply.

Useful advice

• The best results will be obtained if you blend

fresh food, as food that have been stored for any length of time will be dry in nature.

• Prepare your fruit and vegetables in advance

and place the cut pieces in a dish ready for blending. Cut your fruit and vegetables into pieces that will ﬁt easily through the lid hole, but do not make them too small.

• Never attempt to force large pieces of fruit or

vegetables through the lid hole, cut them into smaller pieces ﬁrst.

• Replace the jug lid ensuring the ﬁller cap is

in place. Make sure that the speed control dial is set to the off position ‘0’ before plugging the smoothie maker into the mains supply.

• Plug in and switch the smoothie maker on at

the mains socket.

• Blend in short bursts by holding and

releasing the speed control dial to the PULSE setting.

• As a general guideline, you do not need to

peel any fruits and vegetables whose skin you would normally eat. However, we do recommend washing all produce before it is blended.

• Certiﬁed organic vegetables are guaranteed

not to contain chemical residues but should still be washed, as they have been handled prior to sale.

ENGLISH

• Remove skin from thick skinned fruits, such

as melon and pineapple.

• Remove stones from cherries, peaches,

nectarines etc.
