This document describes the RAW X 2.5 TURBO, a high-performance blender machine designed for multi-function food processing. It is suitable for blending, grinding, and mixing both liquids and solids, including smoothies, jams, vegetable juice, milkshakes, and dry powder.
Function Description
The RAW X 2.5 TURBO is a versatile blender capable of handling a wide range of food preparation tasks. Its primary functions include:
- Blending: Ideal for creating smoothies, purees, and liquid-based recipes. The blender can process both soft and hard materials, with recommendations to start with liquids and soft ingredients before adding harder items.
- Grinding: Suitable for dry edible materials like spices, coffee beans, or nuts. The "Pulse" function allows for precise control over the size of the ground material.
- Mixing: Effective for combining various ingredients to achieve desired consistencies, such as for jams or milkshakes.

Usage Features
Operation:
- Starting: Always begin blending at a low speed to prevent spilling, especially with liquids. Speed can be increased gradually once blending is stable.
- Speed Control: A speed dial allows adjustment from 1 to 15, with power increasing incrementally.
- On/Off Switch: Turns the machine on and off.
- Low/Hi Switch: Selects between low and full speed operation.
- Pulse Switch: Activates the blender at full speed for short bursts, useful for chopping or when ingredients get stuck.
- Adding Ingredients: For stable blending, the insert lid can be removed to add materials. This is not recommended for hot drinks.
- Stuck Material: Use the "Pulse" function or the mixing stick to dislodge stuck ingredients.
- Overfilling: Do not fill the container beyond the maximum scale line.
- Continuous Operation: Avoid continuous operation for longer than 2 minutes to prevent overheating. For dry blending, the maximum continuous operating time should not exceed 1 minute.
- Safety Shut-off: The blender is equipped with an auto shut-off function to prevent overheating. If the unit shuts down, turn it off and allow it to cool for about 20 minutes in a ventilated place.
Specific Usage Scenarios:
- Wet Container: Start with liquids and soft materials, then add hard foods (chopped into 2-3 cm pieces). Begin at low speed and use "Pulse" or the mixing stick if material gets stuck.
- Dry Container: Dry edible materials like spices or coffee beans can be blended directly. Use "Pulse" for size control.
- Bead Container: For crushing tea or other bead-like materials, use the "Pulse" switch or low speed.
Safety Instructions:
- Electrical Safety: Do not share a plug with other high-power appliances. Ensure the ground/earth wire is correctly connected if the plug needs changing. Disconnect the plug when not in use.
- Container Integrity: Do not use a cracked or ruptured container. Regularly check blades for looseness and replace the container if signs of fatigue appear.
- Cleaning: Never wash the blender machine directly with water; avoid splashing water into the machine.
- Environment: Do not operate near fire, high-temperature appliances (gas burner, kerosene heater, hob), or on blankets/tablecloths that could block air vents.
- Supervision: Do not allow individuals with weak physical fitness, mental disorders, or slow reaction times (including children) to operate the machine alone.
- Handling: Do not touch the control panel with sharp tools. Keep a distance of about 20cm from the machine when starting.
- Storage: Store the blender in a plastic bag to prevent bugs, dust, and moisture from entering the core during prolonged periods of non-use.
- Wiring: Do not use if the wiring shows any sign of damage.
- Placement: Ensure the blender is on a flat surface with at least 20cm of clear space around it to allow for proper cooling fan air intake.
