• The blender cannot be operated if:
– The jug is not firmly positioned on the base.
– The speed dial is turned to variable speed before the jug is positioned firmly
on the base.
– The jug is removed during operation and put back again.
• You need to turn the speed dial back to the “OFF” (OFF) position and make
sure the jug is positioned firmly on the base. This will reset the blender.
• If the motor is forced to slow down because of food that is too big in size or
if there is not enough liquid in the jug, and if it operates for a long period,
the temperature monitoring system will trigger and stop the operation of
the motor. The red LED will blink at a rate of 2 Hz. In this case, unplug the
blender and leave it in a place with good ventilation to cool down the motor
temperature for 45 minutes. The system will reset and the blender can be
used again.
• During operation, close the lid tightly to avoid scalding due to spraying of hot
liquids.
• Keep hands and utensils out of the container while the motor is running to prevent the possibility of severe injury and/or damage.
• When making hot beverages such as soybean milk, or making hot soup,
please check that the lid is secured tightly to the jug to prevent it from falling
off. It is advisable to start operation at a low speed setting and then increase
the speed gradually, or use the PULSE mode.
• When making sauces (e.g. almond sauce, jam and sesame sauce) or stuffings
or processing nuts, put in between 2 and 3 cups of ingredients. The amount
should neither be too large or too small. Keep the blending time below 2
minutes to prevent any burnt smell due to overheating. Too large a quantity
of ingredients may lead to overloading and overheating of the motor. In this
case, wait until the motor temperature falls before operating again.
• Add liquids and soft foods before putting in hard food or ice cubes.
• When the operation finishes, wait until the blade assembly comes to a
complete stop before removing the blender jug. Otherwise, the drive gear
may be damaged.
• If you notice a scorched smell from the blender, stop the operation
immediately. It may be caused by abrasion of the rubber cushion base if this is
not properly assembled.
• When blending thick and sticky food at high speed, please start the operation
at low speed. If there is still no rotation, disconnect the power and stir the
contents of the blender jug using a rubber stirrer to drive out air trapped in
the food. Then close the lid and switch on to resume operation.
• Do not operate for more than 10 minutes at a time.
