A. CHARGING THE BLENDER
The batteries in your Blender have not been fully charged. Before using, the batteries must be
charged until all three blue lights are illuminated. With a full charge, your Blender will make
around 8 smoothies, but this depends on the recipe and the hardness of the ingredients used.
Your Blender will be fully charged in approximately 2 hours.
N.B. To charge the main unit, insert the Micro USB end of charging lead into the charging port at
the back of the main unit. Plug the USB end directly into the adapter plug and then into a mains
supply outlet.
Battery Life Indicator Lights
The indicator lights will flash blue, when the battery is being charged. When all three lights are
illuminated, this means the battery is fully charged and is then ready to use. As the battery starts
to run down, the indicator lights will turn off. The battery will need to be recharged when the last
indicator light is flashing. If the battery has completely run down on the unit, it will not operate.
N.B. The Blender cannot be used while it is plugged in and charging.
To ensure the best performance when charging your Blender, we recommend only using the USB
lead and charging adaptor supplied with this appliance.
B. OPERATION
• Ensure your blender has some charge using the instructions in Section A. If the blender has no
charge, it cannot be operated by plugging into the mains power. You will need to wait until it has
sufficient charge to perform the blending task.
• Put the ingredients into the blending cup.
N.B. Be careful not to exceed the maximum fill line. For best results, always put the hardest
ingredients into the cup first (ice cubes, frozen fruit, etc) and finish with the softer ingredients and
liquids. We recommend cutting foods into 3cm pieces to achieve the most uniform result. If you
are using harder ingredients such as carrots, the blending jug shouldn't be filled past half way.
• Attach the black blade assembly to the cup with the blade facing downwards into the cup. Twist
the blade assembly clockwise until tightened.
N.B. Take care not to touch the blades – always handle using black plastic part of the blade
assembly.
• Ensure the power base is sitting on a clean, dry surface. Place the blending cup onto the power
base with the black blade assembly at the bottom and turn to lock into place. You will feel a click
when the cup is securely in place. Always ensure it is locked into place before using the blender.
N.B. If the blade assembly and cup are not properly attached, the blender will not operate.
• To operate, press the power button once. The LED lights are displayed and the motor will start.
Press the power button again to turn the unit off.
N.B. The Blender cannot operate for more than 1 minute, After 1 minute of blending it will
automatically stop. If your recipe requires more than a minute of blending, simply pause for a few
seconds and then start the blender again.
• Once your ingredients are blended, remove the blending cup from the base by twisting the
blending cup anti clockwise to unlock.
N.B. Do not try to remove the blending cup whilst the motor is still running. If the cup is unlocked
during blending, the blender will automatically stop.
• Place the blending cup upright on the surface with the black blade assembly at the top. Twist the
black blade assembly anti-clockwise to remove.
