important safeguards

Follow basic safety precautions, including:

1 The smoothie maker must only be used by or under the direct supervision of a

responsible adult. Use and store it out of reach of children.

2 Don’t put the smoothie maker in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near a

source of water, or outdoors.

3 Unplug before dismantling or cleaning.

4 The smoothie maker is fitted with a safety switch to prevent the motor operating

unless the jug is assembled and in place. Don’t use this to switch the smoothie
maker on and off.

5 Switch off (2) before fitting the jug and base to the motor unit.
6 Switch off (2) and wait till the blades come to a complete stop before removing the

lid from the jug, and before removing the jug and base from the motor unit.

7 Don’t use the smoothie maker unless the lid is in place.

8 Don’t fill with anything hotter than you can comfortably handle.
9 When blending hot liquids, put a hand on the lid to hold it in place.

10 Don’t put your hand into the jug, even after you’ve removed it from the

motor unit – the blades are sharp.

11 Don’t put any implement (spoon, spatula, etc.) other than the stirrer into

the jug while the smoothie maker is plugged in.
12 Don’t leave the smoothie maker unattended while plugged in.
13 Sit the motor unit on a dry, stable, level surface, near a power socket.
14 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
15 Keep the smoothie maker and cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.
16 Don’t let the jug overflow. If liquid gets under the motor unit, it may be sucked into

the motor, damaging it.
17 Don’t fill the jug above the 1800ml/max mark – if you do, the contents may force

the lid off when you start the motor.
18 Don’t run the motor for more than 3 minutes, or it may overheat. After 3 minutes,

switch off for at least 1 minute, to let the motor cool.
19 Remove the tap from the jug base before trying to separate the jug from the base,

otherwise you’ll break something.
20 Don’t use the smoothie maker for any purpose other than those described in these

instructions.
21 Don’t run the smoothie maker empty, it may overheat.
22 Don’t operate the smoothie maker if it’s damaged or malfunctions.
23 If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent,

or someone similarly qualified, in order to avoid hazard.

before using for the first time

1 Turn to page 6 (care and maintenance), then disassemble, clean, dry, and

reassemble the smoothie maker, to remove manufacturing debris, dust, etc.

caution keep your hands away from the blades – they’re sharp
positioning

2 Sit the motor unit on a dry, stable, level surface, near a power socket.

3 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.

4 Press 2 to ensure everything’s off.

5 Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).

fit the jug

6 In normal use, you should treat the jug, jug base, and tap as a single unit. They

don’t need to be separated till you come to clean them.

7 Sit the jug base on the motor unit, with the tap over the u mark on the motor unit.

8 Turn the jug and base clockwise till the tap is facing the front, and the d mark on

the jug base is over the u mark on the motor unit.

fill the jug

9 Turn the lid about an eighth of a turn anti-clockwise to

unlock it, then lift it off.
10 Put the ingredients into the jug.
11 These should be a mixture of liquids and solids (frozen

ingredients count as solids).
12 Don’t fill past the 1800ml/max mark. If you do, the

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

fit the lid

13 Put the lid on the jug, then turn the lid clockwise to lock it closed.
14 Don’t use the smoothie maker without fitting the lid. The contents may escape; you

may hurt someone; you may be tempted to put a hand into the jug.

the cap

15 Generally, use the cap when you’re using the smoothie maker as a blender, use the

stirrer when you’re making drinks or smoothies.
16 Align the lugs on the bottom of the cap with the slots in the hole in the lid, lower

the cap into the hole, then turn the cap as far as it’ll go, to lock it closed.

the stirrer

17 If you’re making drinks or smoothies, instead of fitting the

cap, drop the long end of the stirrer into the hole.
18 If solid ingredients aren’t getting down to the blades, give

them a poke with the stirrer to chivvy them along.
19 Rolling the stirrer anti-clockwise (the opposite way to the

blades), against the jug wall, will help with thicker mixtures.
20 Don’t bash it against the wall of the jug.
21 Don’t run the smoothie maker without fitting either the

cap or the stirrer. If you leave it open, solid ingredients may

be ejected through the hole when they hit the blades.
