Detailed instructions for use are in the User's Guide.
[. . . ] 16 Keep the blender and the cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners. If liquid gets under the motor unit, it may be sucked into the motor, damaging it. 18 Don't fill the jug above the 1250ml mark if you do, the contents may force the lid off when you start the motor. 19 Don't run the motor for more than 3 minutes, or it may overheat. [. . . ] 18 Pressing the turbo button will over-ride the speed set by the speed control, and give you a burst of high speed, if you come across a dense area in the mixture, or if you want to liven it up a bit. 19 The turbo button Y only works when the motor is already running (i. e. at speed 1 or above).

adding ingredients
20 To add ingredients while the blender is working, turn the cap clockwise to unlock it, lift it off, pour the new ingredients through the hole, then replace the cap, and turn it anti-clockwise to lock it in place. 21 Check that the added ingredients don't push the volume in the jug past 1250ml. 4

22 Turn the speed control to Y, and wait till the blades stop moving before removing the lid from the jug, or removing the jug from the motor unit.
hot liquids
23 At higher temperatures, the lid may soften enough to lose its seal, allowing the contents of the jug to escape, so, when using hot liquids: a) before pouring into the blender, let the liquid cool down to the sort of temperature you can handle comfortably (i. e. liquid temperature below 40°C) b) put a hand on the lid, to hold it in place while blending c) if the lid is too hot for comfort, remove it and let the liquid cool down further replace the lid before blending 24 Before using the blender to crush ice, make sure it's clean, and rinse it out thoroughly. The slightest trace of detergent may affect the taste of the crushed ice, and will flatten any drink to which it is added. 26 Start with half to threequarters of a cup of ice, or 4 to 6 cubes, and add 15ml (1 tablespoon) of fresh cold water. 27 Put the lid on the blender, then: a) turn the speed control to f for a second or two, then release it b) check the state of the ice c) repeat till the ice is the consistency that you need 28 Take care too much blending will reduce the ice to liquid, too little will merely chip the edges/corners off the ice. 30 Don't be tempted simply to increase the amount of ice and blend for longer. 31 You may also use the f function to "pulse" the motor, for more precise control over ingredients other than ice. Use it the same way you would use it to crush ice pulse, check, pulse, check, till you achieve the result you want.

care and maintenance
1 Switch off (Y) and unplug before cleaning. 2 Clean as soon after use as possible, to prevent residues setting inside the jug. 3 Turn the jug, to move the arrow d on the bottom of the jug base from the closed padlock L, to the open padlock U, and lift the jug off the motor unit. 4 Wash the jug, lid and cap in warm soapy water, rinse well, then leave the jug to drain and air dry. caution Keep your hands away from the blades they're sharp. 5 If you've left it too long before cleaning, and bits have glued themselves to the inside of the jug, use a nylon brush. If that doesn't work, crush some ice cubes in it that'll shift anything. The extreme environment inside the dishwasher can affect the surface finishes. 9 Don't use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
blade unit
10 You may remove the blade unit for cleaning. 11 Handle only the plastic don't touch the metal parts of the blade unit. 15 Turn the blade unit clockwise till it comes loose from the jug base. [. . . ] Let the mixture cool for about 30 minutes, then blend in two lots, at maximum speed, till it's really smooth.
