1. BLENDING BOWL
The stainless steel bowl has a maximum capacity of 2L, with intervals of 0.5 litres marked on thebowl.
Caution Do not immerse the bowl in water or place it in the dishwasher. Keepthe surface underneath the bowl dry.
Important:
• Do not put more than 2.0L of food into the bowl.
• Your Optimum ThermoCook will not operate if the bowl is not securely axed to the main unit. To fix it correctly, place the bowl on the
main unit body with its handle pointing to the front.
2. BLADE ASSEMBLY
• The blades in the assembly have sharp edges, and are intended for blending, chopping, mincing, ice crushing and grinding functions.
• The blades can be easily removed for cleaning.
Removing the blade assembly
• Turn the bowl upside down, and place a tea towel inside it.
• Turn the fixing bracket anti-clockwise. This will allow the blade assembly to drop down onto the tea towel.
• To re-insert the blade assembly, ensure that the black sealing ring is in place. Push the blade through the opening of the bowl. Hold it in
place with one hand, while positioning the fixing bracket with the other hand. Turn the fixing bracket clockwise and the blade assembly
will lock into place.
Important:
• The blades are very sharp. Cover the blade assembly with a tea towel when assembling or removing the blade base.
• Please make sure that the fixing bracket and the sealing ring are in place and locked tightly with the blade assembly. If the sealing ring is
positioned incorrectly, the food inside the bowl may leak out and damage the appliance.
