- Main Body: Houses the motor with dual protection circuits against overheating and overloading.
- Travel Bottle, Travel Bottle Base, Travel Bottle Cap: For blending directly into a portable cup.
Operation Steps:
- Preparation: Cut ingredients into small pieces (approx. 2 cm).
- Measurement: Use the lid plug or an electronic scale to measure ingredients.
- Loading: Pour ingredients into the blender jar, then add the appropriate amount of water.
- Securing the Lid: Align and press the lid onto the jar, then screw on the small measuring cup.
- Placement: Place the blend jar correctly on the base, ensuring it's on a flat surface. Rotate the main unit connector 15° if needed for proper seating.
- Power On: Connect the power cord. Backlight lights will flash, the buzzer will sound, and the START/STOP button will flash. The machine will not power on if the mixing jar is not in place.
- Function Selection: Select the desired function key (e.g., SMOOTHIES, ICE CRUSH, PUREE, BLEND, LOW, MED, HIGH).
- Start Blending: Press the "START/STOP" button. The timer will display the total blending time and count down. Programs stop automatically.
- PULSE Function: Press the "PULSE" button for high-speed blending for a default of 2 minutes, stopping when released.
- Stirring: For crushed ice, jam, or dry-grinding, remove the lid of the small cup and use the stirring rod for a more delicate effect.
- Completion: When blending is complete, the buzzer sounds, and the machine returns to standby.
- Serving: Remove the blender jar, pour out the juice, and add seasonings.
- Travel Bottle Usage: Pour ingredients into the travel cup, add water, align the cup holder with the cup mouth, and tighten. Place on the main body, ensuring it's on a flat surface. Select a function and press "Start/Stop." After blending, remove the travel cup, twist the knife holder to the left, and replace with the travel bottle cap.
Important Notices:
- Do not add hot water during operation to avoid scalds.
- Total ingredients and water should not exceed the 1500ml mark in the pitcher to prevent overflow.
- It is recommended to use the blender less than three times continuously. Allow a 10-minute interval between uses. If the main engine overheats, shut it down for about 30 minutes before continuing.
- For ice crushing with the travel bottle, do not exceed 150g of ice at a time. The cup and ice should be dry and not melted for best results.
