Sunbeam are very safety conscious when
designing and manufacturing consumer products,
but it is essential that the product user also
exercise care when using an electrical appliance.
Listed below are precautions which are essential
for the safe use of an electrical appliance:

• Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.

• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove
by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.

• Turn the power off and remove the plug
when the appliance is not in use and
before cleaning.

• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked
and tested by a qualified technician or
service person.

• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked
on the appliance.

• Close supervision is necessary when your
appliance is being used near children or
infirm persons.

• Never leave an appliance unattended while
in use.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.

• Do not use an appliance for any purpose
other than its intended use.

• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas
flame, electric element or on a heated oven.
Do not place on top of any other appliance.

• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang
over the edge of a table or bench top or touch
any hot surface.

• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance
by unskilled persons, some appliances are
‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such
appliances should always be returned to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for adjustment or repair if required.

• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a
damaged cord or after the appliance has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. If damage
is suspected, return the appliance to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for examination, repair or adjustment.

• For additional protection, Sunbeam
recommend the use of a residual current
device (RCD) with a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit
supplying power to your appliances.

• Do not immerse the appliance in water
or any other liquid unless recommended.

If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance,
please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line.

Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.

minutes at a

time.

1.5 litre blender jug

Large capacity 1.5 litre plastic, shatter –
resistant jug is ideal for blending large
quantities of food and liquids. As the jug is
transparent you can observe the food as it is
being blended, to ensure perfect results
everytime.

Serrated stainless steel blades

These durable blades crush through ice
cubes, produce the smoothest purees and
blend the healthiest frappés.

Cord storage facility

The wraparound cord feature is ideal for
storing unwanted cord.

base of the blender jug ➂. Ensure that the
blade assembly is firmly in place by turning

1.Place the blender jug on the motor base.
The jug can be placed on the motor base
in 4 different positions, each being at 90°
degree angles, see figure 2.

2.Place ingredients into the jug.
Do not exceed the maximum indicated

level - 1.5 litres.

3.Place the measuring cup into the lid, see
figure 3a. Rotate the cup either clockwise
or anti-clockwise, this will lock the cup
into the lid, see figure 3b.

4.Place the lid with the measuring cup onto
the blender jug. Holding the measuring
cup, rotate the cup clockwise until you are
unable to turn it any further, see figure 4,
the lid is now locked in place.

5.Using the control dial, select the desired
blending speed, 1, 2 or PULSE.

Settings 1 and 2 will provide continuous
blending until the dial is turned to the OFF
position.

Further ingredients can also be added
whilst blending by removing the measuring
cup and pouring ingredients through the
hole in the lid.

6.After you have completed blending, turn
the dial to the ‘0’ position.

Note: When removing the blade assembly
from the jug you may need to slightly tilt
the blade so that it slides out easily. You
shouldn’t be forcing the blades out of the
jug, as this will ultimately damage the
blades.

Crushing Ice

Simply add ice to the blender and a small
quantity of water, which will aid in the
crushing process. Then with the control dial
select the ‘Pulse’ function and hold for 1-2
seconds then return the dial to the ‘OFF’
position. Continue this process and in
seconds your ice is fluffy and snow flake-like.

Pulse setting

The pulse function provides short bursts of
power, so that you can prepare breadcrumbs,
grind chocolate, finely grind nuts and
biscuits.

You can also use the Pulse function for
cleaning the blender. Simply pour in some
warm water and a small amount of detergent,
then turn the control dial to the ‘Pulse’
function for 1-2 seconds. Repeat 3-4 times.
The unit will clean itself, without you having
to handle the sharp blades. Rinse and dry,
being careful as the blades are sharp.
