• Place the blade assembly (with sealing ring tted) onto the opening at the base of the jug
with the blades pointing to the inside of the jug.

• Mount the jug base onto the glass jug and turn the jug base unit in a clockwise direction
until it is tightly xed.

• Turn the jug right way up.

INSERTING THE GLASS JUG

• Check that the speed selector dial is set to ‘0’ off.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

to the following:

1. Read all instructions before, and follow whilst using this appliance.

2. To protect against electric shock DO NOT immerse cord, plug or motor unit in water or any other

liquid.

3. Do not use in the bathroom or near any source of water.

4. Do not use outdoors.

mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the product by a person responsible for their safety.

6. This appliance is not a toy. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with this
appliance.

7. Always turn off and unplug from the power outlet when not in use and before cleaning.

8. To disconnect, set the controls to off. Turn off the wall power outlet, then grasp the plug and remove

9. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance has malfunctioned,
or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact customer service for replacement,
examination, repair or adjustment.

10. There are no user serviceable parts. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

12. Cutting blades are very sharp. Handle the blender and blade assembly with extreme care and

caution when empting the jug and during cleaning.
