Notes:
The motor housing is fitted with an interlock mechanism to
prevent operation without the jar in place. In the event the motor
does not operate, re-check steps 7 and 8 above have been
followed correctly.
For the best taste and nutritional value use fresh fruit and drink
the juice soon after preparing.
Peel foods with thick and bitter skins (e.g. citrus fruit, banana),
remove seeds, pips and stones (e.g. melons, plums etc.) and hard
cores (e.g. pineapple) to prevent damage to the blades and for
smooth drinks.
If using fruits with high starch or fibre content (e.g. bananas,
mangos etc.) ensure a liquid (e.g. proprietary fruit juice) is added
to aid blending.
A few small ice cubes or frozen summer fruits may be added to
the blending container for incorporation into the drink.
This personal blender can also be used to make milkshakes,
cocktails, batters etc.
Cleaning
Clean the personal blender after each use.
1. Switch off and unplug.
2. The inside of the personal blender can be rinsed between fruits or
partially cleaned before carrying out a full clean. To rinse, fill the
blending jar with a small quantity of water and operate the
personal blender as normal. Discard the liquid.
3. The blades are sharp, take care when removing from the blending
jar and cleaning. Rinse the blades (not the underside of the
assembly) with hot water with a little washing up liquid. Rinse
and wipe dry.

with a little washing up liquid. Rinse and wipe dry. The blending
