• Before first use: Wash the container, lid and tamper with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Place securely: Position the blender on a dry, level surface and ensure the container is seated properly on the motor base.
• Load in order: For smoother blending, add liquids first, followed by soft ingredients, leafy greens, frozen ingredients and ice.
• Secure the lid: Always operate the blender with the lid and lid plug firmly fitted. Never exceed the marked maximum capacity.
• Start gradually: When using manual controls, begin at a low speed and increase gradually. Use the Smoothie, Hot Soup or Frozen Dessert programme for automatic blending.
• Use the tamper safely: Insert only the supplied low-profile tamper through the lid opening. Never place hands or other utensils inside while the blades are moving.
• Hot blends: Take extra care when blending hot ingredients. Keep the lid secured, avoid overfilling and open the lid away from your face to release steam safely.
• Self-cleaning: Fill the container halfway with warm water, add one or two drops of dish soap and blend on the highest speed for 30–60 seconds. Rinse thoroughly.
• Dishwasher-safe: The container and lid are dishwasher-safe, although handwashing is recommended to preserve the Tritan™ material and blades.
• Motor base: Unplug before cleaning. Wipe the base and centring pad with a soft, damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base, plug or power cord in water.
• Prevent overheating: Avoid running very thick mixtures at low speed for extended periods. If the motor shuts down, switch it off and allow it to cool before restarting.
• Before storage: Ensure all components are clean and completely dry. Store the container without sealing the lid tightly to allow airflow.
