INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY

Thank you for purchasing the Russell Hobbs 1.5L Brushed S/Steel finish
Blender. Each unit has been manufactured to ensure safety, reliability and ease
of use. Before use, please read these instructions carefully and keep them for

Important safeguards

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:

1. Do not put the motor unit in water or any other liquid; do not use it in a
bathroom or near any source of water and do not use outdoors.

2. The blender must be used only by a responsible adult.

3. Unplug before dismantling or cleaning.

4. The blender is fitted with a safety switch to prevent the motor operating
unless the jug is in place. Do not use this to switch the blender on and off.

5. Turn the switch to standby OFF before fitting the jug to the motor unit.

6. Turn the switch to standby OFF and wait until the blades come to a complete
stop before removing the lid from the jug, and before removing the jug from
the motor unit.

7. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

8.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.

9. Do not use the blender without first locking the lid in place.

10. Do not fill the jug with boiling liquids.

11. Do not put your hand into the jug, even when it has been removed for
cleaning – the blades are very sharp.

12. Do not put any other object (spoon, spatula, etc.) into the jug while the
blender is plugged in.

13. Do not leave the blender unattended when plugged in.

14. Position the motor unit on a dry, firm, level surface, close to a power socket

and out of reach of children.

15. Route the mains lead so that it cannot be caught accidentally or tripped over.

16. Keep the blender and the mains lead away from hotplates, hobs and burners.

17. Store the blender away from direct sunlight and fluorescent light where

possible.

18. Do not let the jug overflow. If liquid gets under the motor unit, it may be

sucked into the motor, damaging it.

19. Do not fill the jug above the 1500 ml. If you do, the contents may force the lid

off when you start the motor.

20. Do not run the motor for more than 3 minutes, either continuously, or using

the pulse setting, otherwise it may overheat. After 3 minutes use, switch it off

for at least 3 minutes, to allow it to recover.

21. Do not use the blender for any purpose other than those described in these

instructions.

22. Do not run the blender empty, as it may overheat.

23. Do not operate the blender after it malfunctions. If the mains lead or plug is

damaged, return the blender to the manufacturer in order to avoid a hazard.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning

use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Before Use

Before using your Blender for the first time wash the jug, lid and cap in warm
soapy water, rinse well and dry. NOTE: The blades are sharp-edged, handle
with care.

Preparation

1. Position the motor unit on a dry, firm, level surface, close to a power

socket and out of reach of children.

2. Check that the control knob is set to OFF.

3. Insert the blade assembly into the base of the glass jar, and rotate it anti-

clockwise until it is locked.

4. Place the glass jar assembly on top of the base/motor of the blender.

Ensure that the jug is firmly in place by turning it in a clockwise direction to
lock it. There are ‘Lock’ and ‘Unlock’ markings on the unit. It is
recommended that you place the jug handle away from the controls
situated at the front of the blender.

5. Plug the motor unit into the power socket

6. Put the ingredients into the jug. Do not fill it past the 1500 ml mark. If you

do, the contents may force the lid off when you start the motor.

Fitting the Lid

1. Always fit the lid to the jug before using it.

2. Press well on the lid until the flanges of embedding are well fixed in the

jug.

3. Put the cap into the hole in the lid and press it down to fit properly.

4. It is not a good idea to run the blender without the cap, especially if only

solid ingredients are used. They may be ejected through the hole when
they hit the blades.

The Switch
Turn the control knob clockwise to the speed you require.
