and powerful food processor, that allows total control
on any task through high velocity blending.

interactive control panel will illuminate for one
second, then revert back to off leaving only the
'Power' icon ( ) illuminated and intermittently
flashing. The Smart Blender is now in standby
mode and is almost ready for use. Standby mode
will change to Sleep mode after 5 minutes.
2. If the jug isn't placed on to the holster, the word
'CUP' will flash intermittently until it has been
returned. The jug's handle has been specially
