Assembly

BEFORE FIRST USE

Wash the lid, inner measuring cup, jug, the filter bowl surround, filter basket, juicer cover, food pusher and pulp container in warm, soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Place motor base on a flat, dry surface such as a countertop. Ensure that the appliance is switched to OFF at the motor base and the power cord is unplugged.

JUICING

1. Place filter bowl surround on top of the motor base.
   
2. Align the arrows at the base of the stainless-steel filter basket with the arrows on the motor drive coupling and push down until it clicks into place to create a secure fit with the motor base.
   
3. Place the juicer cover over the filter bowl surround, positioning the lower part of the feed chute over the stainless steel filter basket.
   
4. Raise the safety locking arm up and locate into the two grooves on either side of the juicer cover.
   
5. The safety locking arm should now be in a vertical position and locked into place on top of the juicer cover.
   
6. Slide the food pusher down the food chute by aligning the groove in the food pusher, with the small protrusion on the inside of the top of the feed tube.
   
7. Place the pulp container into position by tilting and lifting the motor base slightly. Insert the pulp container under the juicer cover on the back ensuring the front edge is tucked under the back lip of the filter bowl surround and the bottom edge is clipped into the bottom of the motor base.
   
8. Drip stop plug can be fitted over juice outlet nozzle. It then allows the outlet to be plugged to prevent dripping after juicing.
   
9. Optional: For juicing into a cup the Juicing Nozzle can be fitted onto the juice outlet nozzle.
   
10. Fit the lid to the blender jug and position jug under juice spout.
    

BLENDING

1. With the blender jug in the upright position place it on the motor base. The handle of the blender can be positioned to the left or right-hand side of the appliance.
   
2. Raise the safety locking arm up and locate into the two grooves on either side of the blender.
   
3. Add food or liquid into the blender jug ensuring not to exceed the 'MAX' mark. Place the blender lid firmly into position on the top of the blender jug. Insert the clear, inner measuring lid into the blender lid and turn clockwise to lock into position. The jug features a Sage Assist™ Lid. This allows the lid to fit tightly onto the blender jug, avoiding displacement during operation.
4. Do not fill the blender jug above the 'MAX' line.
5. Ensure the spout cover of the blender lid is clipped into place and closed. The ring pull design allows the user to easily remove the lid with a simple leverage action.
   
   After appliance is assembled into blender or juicer configuration, plug power cord into a 220–240V power outlet and turn on. Press the ON / OFF button to turn the appliance on. The ON / OFF button will illuminate. The LCD timer screen will illuminate with '0:00' displayed.

Functions

GETTING STARTED

The ON / OFF button powers the unit into READY mode.

PRESET PROGRAMS

Blending

The appliance has 4 preset functions: Smoothie, Pulse / Ice Crush, Auto Clean and Frozen Cocktail. These preprogrammed cycles automatically adjust the blending time and speeds to optimise blending results. These programs are only activated when your appliance is in blender set up. They can't be used when your appliance is set up in juicing configuration.

Select the required function by pressing the corresponding function button. The unit will start to operate, and the selected

function button will illuminate. The timer will start to count down and program will end automatically when it reaches '0:00'.

The program and timer can be paused by pressing the pause button. Resume by pressing program button again, or cancel by pressing pause again.

The program can also be cancelled at any time by pressing the ON|OFF button. The timer will reset to 0:00

Smoothie

For dairy-based smoothies, a combination of speeds and pulses are designed to combine and aerate ingredients into a smooth and creamy texture.

Pulse / Ice Crush

A program of continuous pulsing designed to chop food into an even consistency or crush ice cubes. Use the PULSE button when the food that is being processed is too thick or coarse to circulate within the blender jug.

The maximum amount of ice cubes the blender can blend at any one time without liquid in the jug is 1 standard ice tray or 250g.

Frozen Cocktail

For creating ice-based cocktails and drinks like Margaritas, Daiquiris and Slushies, an ice crush program is followed by a short blend.

Auto Clean

Use to remove most of the ingredients off the blender walls and blades. Add 2 cups of warm, soapy water and press the clean button. For harder to clean, sticky or thick ingredients, add ½ teaspoon of dishwashing detergent for extra cleaning power.

For best results, clean the blender jug this way immediately after use. The Auto Clean function only cleans the blender jug. It doesn't clean the juicer.

Speed Control Selection

There are 5 speed buttons. Speed 1 combines more delicate foods with a folding motion, good for combining wet and dry ingredients. Speed 5 is the fastest setting and is ideal for breaking down ingredients to create sauces, salad dressings and other finely blended mixtures.

Juicing

Most fruit and vegetables such as apples, carrots and cucumbers will not need to be cut or trimmed to size as these will fit whole into the feed chute. Ensure vegetables such as beets, carrots etc. have all soil removed, are washed well and trimmed of leaves before using.

1. Plug the power cord into your 220–240V power outlet.
   
   Do not load feed chute with produce before the Juicer has reached the selected speed.
2. Turning the Juicer
   On Select desired speed setting by pressing button 1-5. Use lower numbers (1-3) for soft fruits and vegetables and higher numbers (4 and 5) for hard fruits and vegetables. See Speed Selector Guide table on the next page to match speed and produce type for maximum yield. "Low" range, while it may not maximise yield of some produce, allows you to extract juice at a significantly lower noise.
3. With the motor running, place food into the feed chute and use the food pusher to gently guide food down. To extract the maximum amount of juice, always push the food pusher down slowly.
4. Full Blender Jug
   You can keep juicing until the jug is filled to MAX. level.

Never use fingers, hands or utensils to push food down the feed chute or to clear the feed chute. Always use the food pusher provided.

The stainless steel filter basket contains small sharp blades to cut and process fruit and vegetables. Avoid touching the blades when handling the filter basket.

Care & Cleaning

Ensure the motor base is turned off by pressing the ON / OFF button. Then unplug the power cord.

CLEANING

1. Remove Blender Jug.
2. Disengage Locking Bar, pull up entire Juice Collector Assembly and take to sink.
3. Remove Pulp Container.

Empty as much pulp as possible into bin/ compost. Rinse all parts after use (except the motor base) under running water to clear away the majority of juice and pulp. Wash in warm soapy water with a soft cloth.
To avoid food drying on to the blades, mesh or transparent parts, rinse and wash as soon as possible after use.

PULP CONTAINER

To minimize cleaning, you can line the pulp container with a biodegradable bag to collect the pulp.

MOTOR BASE

Wipe down with a soft damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor base in liquids.

CLEANING AGENTS

Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners on either the motor base or the jug, as they may scratch the surface. Use only warm soapy water with a soft cloth.

JUG AND LID

In order to keep your Jug clean and avoid food drying on the blades and jug, follow the below steps as soon as possible after use.
Rinse most of the ingredients off the jug and lid.

Fill the jug with 500ml of warm water, fit the lid and press the AUTO CLEAN button. If thick or sticky ingredients require extra cleaning power add a few drops of dish liquid detergent.

Rinse the jug and lid again and/or wash separately in warm soapy water with a soft cloth or bottle brush.
It is most effective to clean the jug immediately after use.

FILTER BASKET

To ensure consistent juicing results, always clean the filter basket thoroughly immediately after use, using the brush provided.
If pulp is left to dry, it may clog the fine pores of the filter mesh, which can affect juicing performance. The filter basket can be soaked in hot soapy water for 10 minutes, if necessary.

DISHWASHER

All parts except for the motor base and food pusher are dishwasher safe. The blender jug can be placed on the bottom shelf of the dishwasher, however the lid and inner measuring cup should be washed on the top shelf only. However, washing parts on a regular basis in the dishwasher can shorten the life of them due to prolonged exposure to harsh detergents, hot water and pressure.

Cleaning the parts in the dishwasher may also cause parts to deteriorate so inspect the parts regularly and stop using the product if any signs of damage is noticed.

STUBBORN FOOD STAINS

Strong smelling foods such as garlic, fish and some vegetables such as carrots may leave an odour or stain on the blender jug and lid. To remove, soak blender jug and lid for 5 minutes in warm soapy water. Then wash with a mild detergent and warm water, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Store jug with the lid off.

STORAGE

Store the appliance upright with the blender jug assembled on the motor base, or beside it. Do not place anything on top. To allow air to circulate, keep the lid off.

Oils in citrus rind can damage the material of your blender jug if being exposed to it for a longer period. Always clean your blender jug immediately after processing citrus rind.
