- Ensure the Jar is properly attached to the Power Base.

- Jamming Prevention: If blades become jammed, turn off the blender, turn it horizontally, and gently shake. If still jammed, turn it upside down and gently shake.
- Ingredient Guidelines:
- Do not blend liquids over 120°F/49°C to prevent damage and leaks.
- Avoid overloading; always leave room at the top of the Jar.
- For best results, liquid and fruit mix should fill more than 20% of the Jar.
- Not a shaved ice machine. Use frozen fruits and refrigerated beverages, or add crushed ice (10% of total capacity) and water/liquids (80% of volume).
- Do not blend ice cubes or hard objects without adding water or liquids, as this may damage the blades.
- Do not run the blender without ingredients in the Jar to prevent motor burnout.
- Avoid storing blends for long periods, as sugars can ferment and create pressure.
- Safety Interlocks: Do not attempt to defeat any safety interlock mechanisms.

- Fast Cleaning: Add warm soapy water to the Jar, press the Power button twice, and rinse.
- Deep Cleaning:
- Remove the Lid and Strainer, as well as the attached silicone rings.
- Wash them with warm, soapy water using a brush, sponge, or wet towel.
- Allow to dry completely.
- Power Base Cleaning: Do not pour water directly onto the Power Base. Use a wet towel to clean the exterior, inside, and blades. Do not immerse the Power Base in any liquid.
- Storage: When not in use, store the Jar on the main unit. Store the product in a clean, dry, ventilated room within the specified temperature and humidity ranges.
Important Safeguards and Warnings:
- General Safety:
- Use only with the provided USB-C cable and charger.
- Do not operate with a damaged cord, plug, or if the appliance malfunctions.
- Avoid contact with moving parts.
- Do not use an extension cord; plug the charger directly into an electric outlet.
- Do not incinerate the appliance, as batteries can explode in a fire.
- Supervise children closely when the appliance is in use.
- Blades: The blades are very sharp; use extreme caution. Never attempt to touch the blades with your fingers.
- Assembly: Ensure the Power Base is screwed onto the Jar properly to prevent injury and leakage. Do not overtighten the Jar. Make sure the USB cover on the Power Base is closed before use.
- During Operation:
- Do not put hands or other tools close to the blades while in use.
- Always wait until the blending cycle has completed before detaching the Jar.
- Release any pressure before pouring blended ingredients.

- Cord Management: Do not let the cord hang over the edge of any table or counter.
Troubleshooting:
- Machine does not work when Jar is screwed on: Ensure the cup is screwed on tightly enough.
- Red light stays on during mixing: Indicates insufficient voltage; fully charge the Power Base.
- Red light flashes, blades do not turn: The battery temperature in the Power Base is too hot. Power off the unit and let it cool before use.
