USING THE SPACE SAVER BLENDER
FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Unpack the Space Saver Blender, remove all the packaging
materials. The blender jug and lid will already be on the base unit
as you would store them in your cupboard. Take everything apart
for washing.

• Before first use, wipe the base unit with a clean, damp cloth.

• Wash the rest of the parts in warm, soapy water, rinse and
dry thoroughly.

• Make sure all parts are clean and dry before assembling the
product.

• The silicone ring must be fitted over the blade.

• The blade sits inside the blade base.

• These then screw into the base of the jug.

• Turn the jug upside down so you are looking at the base.
The blade base has three notches on the outside. Two of
these need to be in line with the notches either side of the
handle on the blender jug.

NotchesNotches

• Sit the blender jug onto the base with the handle towards
the back right hand corner. Turn it in a clockwise direction so
it locks onto the base.

• The blender can only be switched on if the jug is locked onto
the base correctly.

• Put the lid on top of the blender jug and push it down. Always ensure the lid is firmly in
place before operating, or the blender will not work.

• Insert the measuring cup into the lid, turning clockwise until it locks into place.

BLENDER SPEED SETTINGS

The blender has LOW and HIGH speed settings plus a PULSE function.

0: OFF
1: LOW, for softer food and small portions.
2: HIGH, for harder food and larger portions.
P: PULSE, is a short burst of high power for quick blending.

The pulse function can be used to break apart larger pieces
of food or to control the texture of food when chopping.
Move the dial manually to (P) and hold in short 2 second
bursts. This setting is suitable for ice, the maximum amount
of ice you should blend is 150g.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Ensure the dial is at ‘0’ OFF.

Plug in and switch on at the socket. Add your liquid or food to the jug. Do not use the
blender without any food or liquid inside. Always ensure the blender is filled with a
minimum of 500ml of liquid or food. The maximum amount of food is 500g and the
maximum amount of liquid is 1500ml.

DO NOT use the blender for hot liquids and excess foods, pressure may build up inside
the blender and this could cause the lid come off and the contents to splash out. Allow
hot food and liquids to cool to room temperature before blending.

Turn the dial to the speed you need, to turn the blender on.

Alternatively turn the dial manually to the ‘P’ position to pulse.

Use the blender in short bursts and DO NOT operate continuously for more than 2 minutes.
Never reach into the blender jug with utensils when the blender is running.

The removable 20ml measuring cup in the lid makes it easy for additional ingredients to be
added whilst you blend.

REMOVING THE LID

Twist the jug anti clockwise and take it off the base.

Slide the lid release button back with your right hand and lift
the lid up and to the left with the other.

The lid and lid release button are deliberately fitted tightly to
prevent leaking during blending.

HINTS AND TIPS

Cut ingredients into small even sized pieces, do not try to blend large chunks.

Add liquid ingredients to the blender jug first, followed by solid or dry ingredients. This
will ensure a more consistent blend.

DO NOT over fill the jug. This will block the blades. Turn off the unit and take out some of
the food or liquid before switching back on.

DO NOT try and blend frozen ingredients that have formed a solid mass. Allow to thaw
slightly and break up into smaller pieces before using.

DO NOT use the blender to mash potatoes or mix heavy dough.

If making breadcrumbs or processing herbs make sure the blender jug and blade are
completely dry.

Use a spatula to redistribute ingredients in the blender jug. NEVER use metal utensils as
these may damage the jug or blade.

DO NOT over-process – most foods will blend in just a few seconds.

When blending ice, the maximum amount you should blend is 150g of ice cubes. Wait 5
minutes when you’ve removed the ice from the freezer, and add a little water to help the
blender. Use the pulse function and manually twist the dial in short bursts.

DO NOT use the blender for very hard food products, such as bones, shelled nuts, frozen
meats etc., as this could damage the blade and cause the motor to seize.
