Sunbeam's Safety Precautions

  • Ensure fingers are kept well away from the blades when in use.
  • Do not blend warm/hot ingredients. Always cool ingredients to room temperature before blending. Hot/warm ingredients can eject out of the jug when a sudden steaming is caused.
  • Always operate on a flat surface.
  • Ensure the control dial is in the 'off' position before plugging into the power outlet.
  • Take care when removing the jug from the base, emptying the bowl/jug or during fitting and removal of blade system, as blades are extremely sharp.
  • Warn of potential injury from misuse
  • Switch off the appliance and disconnect from supply before changing accessories or approaching parts that move in use.

Before Using Your Two-Way Blender


Always ensure your blender is unplugged from the power outlet before fitting or removing the blade assembly. Always handle the blade assembly with caution, as the blades are extremely sharp.
Before using your Two-Way Blade Blender, we recommend removing the six-blade system for thorough cleaning.

To Remove The Six Blade System In The Glass Jug

Unscrew the blade system from the jug, using the inner measuring cup from the lid and turning anti-clockwise. Remove the silicone rubber seal from the blade assembly. Wash the lid, jug, silicone rubber seal and the blade assembly in warm soapy water.

Note: When removing the blade assembly from the jug you may need to slightly tilt the blade so that it slides out easily.

Jug Assembly

  1. Install the sealing ring over the blade.
  2. Turn the jug upside down and place it on a flat and stable surface.
  3. Turn the blade with sealing ring upside down and place into the bottom of the jug.
    Jug Assembly
  1. Install the threaded jug bottom over the blade assembly. Turn clockwise to tighten. Be sure the threaded jug bottom is tightened to the jug before using.
  2. Choose a recipe from the recipes provided.
  3. Put the ingredients into the jug.
  4. Secure the lid and filler cap.
  5. Slide the jug onto the base.

Note: The blender jug will leak if the six blade system is not assembled correctly.
Note: Do not attempt to remove the stainless steel blades from the blade assembly.
Note: The appliance will start only if the jug is correctly positioned on the motor base.

Interlock

The unit is supplied with an interlock on the base. This will prevent the motor or the control panel from starting if the blender jug is not properly placed on the base. If the jug is removed from the base during operation the unit will stop, and Med LED and High LED will keep blinking fast. To restart the blender, turn off the blender by pressing ON/OFF button, place the jug on the blender base and select the preferred speed to begin again.

Note: The filler cap can be used as a tool to tighten or remove the threaded jug bottom.

Handy Blending Hints

  • Nothing can beat a blender for making smooth purees and sauces or for whipping up frothy drinks - from healthy breakfast shakes to frozen daiquiris.
  • Use your blender for chopping small amounts of food like nuts, bread crumbs and whole spices.
  • Turn any oil-based salad dressing into a creamy style dressing by blending it until slightly thickened.
  • Food items for blending should be cut into cubes (approximately 2-3cm), this will assist in achieving an even result.
  • Ensure the lid is firmly and securely placed on the jug. Do not operate the blender without the lid on, if you wish to add any additional ingredients remove the ingredient cup and add as necessary.
  • Never fill above the maximum level indicator 2L. When blending very liquid substances do not fill the jug above 1.5L to avoid spilling.
  • To ensure efficient mixing when blending dry mixtures, it may be necessary to stop the blender and push ingredients down the sides of the jug with a spatula.
  • When pureeing fruit or vegetables, cooked or raw, cut into small pieces to facilitate blending.
  • When making bread crumbs, use 2 to 3 day old bread, leaving crusts on, to minimise the possibility of clumping. If only fresh bread is available, dry it out for a few minutes in a low heated oven.
  • When blending a variety of ingredients together, blend the liquids first, then add dry ingredients.
  • Always ensure stones are removed from fruit and bones from meat as these can harm the blades.
  • Don't allow a used blender to sit for too long as the food will dry onto the blades, making it very difficult to clean. If you can't clean the blender straight away, pour some warm water in it and allow to soak.
  • Do not process hot/warm liquids in your blender. Allow to cool to room temperature before blending.
  • Select the FOOD CHOP/SALSA function for recipes that require a fine chop.

Care And Cleaning

Quick Cleaning Method

Half fill the blender with warm water and a small amount of detergent. Press the PULSE button for 10-20 seconds. Then remove the jug and rinse it under running water.

For Thorough Cleaning

Turn the blender jug upside down. Unscrew the blade assembly from the jug by placing the open end of the ingredient cap at the base of the blade assembly. Use the grooves on the opening of the ingredient cap to align the cap to the base of the jug. Turn the ingredient cap in an anti-clockwise direction to remove the blade assembly. Remove the rubber seal from the blade assembly. Wash the blender lid, ingredient cup, rubber seal, blade assembly and blender jug in warm soapy water.


Take care when cleaning the blades as they are extremely sharp.
Note: The jug, blade, seal, locking ring, lid and feeder cap may be washed in a dishwasher.

To Clean The Motor Base

Use a damp, soft sponge with mild detergent and wipe over the motor base.
Note: Never immerse the motor base in water.
