before using for the first time
1 Turn to page 6 (care and maintenance), then disassemble, clean, dry, and
reassemble the smoothie maker, to remove manufacturing debris, dust, etc.
caution
keep your hands away from the blades – they're sharp
positioning
2 Sit the motor unit on a dry, stable, level surface, near a power socket.
3 Route the cable so it doesn't overhang, and can't be tripped over or caught.
4 Press 2 to ensure everything's off.
5 Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it's switchable).
fit the jug
6 In normal use, you should treat the jug, jug base, and tap as a single unit. They
don't need to be separated till you come to clean them.
7 Sit the jug base on the motor unit, with the tap over the u mark on the motor unit.
8 Turn the jug and base clockwise till the tap is facing the front, and the d mark on
the jug base is over the u mark on the motor unit.
fill the jug
9 Turn the lid about an eighth of a turn anti-clockwise to
unlock it, then lift it off.
10 Put the ingredients into the jug.
11 These should be a mixture of liquids and solids (frozen
ingredients count as solids).
12 Don't fill past the 1800ml/max mark. If you do, the
contents may force the lid off when you start the motor.
fit the lid
13 Put the lid on the jug, then turn the lid clockwise to lock it closed.
14 Don't use the smoothie maker without fitting the lid. The contents may escape; you
may hurt someone; you may be tempted to put a hand into the jug.
the cap
15 Generally, use the cap when you're using the smoothie maker as a blender, use the
stirrer when you're making drinks or smoothies.
16 Align the lugs on the bottom of the cap with the slots in the hole in the lid, lower
the cap into the hole, then turn the cap as far as it'll go, to lock it closed.
the stirrer
17 If you're making drinks or smoothies, instead of fitting the
cap, drop the long end of the stirrer into the hole.
18 If solid ingredients aren't getting down to the blades, give
them a poke with the stirrer to chivvy them along.
19 Rolling the stirrer anti-clockwise (the opposite way to the
blades), against the jug wall, will help with thicker mixtures.
20 Don't bash it against the wall of the jug.
21 Don't run the smoothie maker without fitting either the
cap or the stirrer. If you leave it open, solid ingredients may
be ejected through the hole when they hit the blades.
