1. Ensure blender power switch is in the “OFF” Position.
2. Plug the blender into mains power.
3. Place foodstu to be blended into jug, starting with liquids/softer ingredients and then add
solids.
4. Attach the lid, with lid plug inserted, by sealing any side of the lid to the jug’s edge and pressing
down on the opposite side. Make sure the lid and lid plug are properly in place before you
operate the blender.
5. Correctly position the jug on the base.
6. Switch the blender’s power switch to the “ON” position using the on/o switch.
7. Select your desired speed or timer preset.
8. To add food while the blender is operating, switch to a lower speed and remove the lid plug.
Slowly add the liquid or chopped foods.
9. To stir food during blending, remove the lid plug and insert the tamper tool supplied with your
blender.
10. When you have finished blending, switch o the blender and wait for the blade to come to a
complete stop.
11. Once the blade has stopped spinning, lift the jug from the base.
12. Open the jug lid by pressing with your thumb on the side of the lid, and then lift o.
13. Pour out the blended liquid, or use a scraper to scrape out the blended contents.
Use the tamper tool to push ingredients into the blades and prevent thick or frozen mixtures from
sticking to the sides of the jug.
When using the tamper tool, the jug should be no more than 2/3 full. Point and move the tamper
to the sides of the jug, rather than in a straight up-and-down motion.
To avoid heating frozen contents; only use the blender in conjunction with the tamper tool for a
maximum of 30 seconds. As friction creates heat, the Optimum 9200A will raise the contents of the
jug by 4 degrees every 30 seconds. If you blend for too long you will need to add additional ice to
freeze the contents again.
When making nut butter, etc. you will need to use the tamper for a longer time and this will cause
no damage to the machine, there will still be the same amount of heat rise however.
