- Place glass jug lid over jug with the arrows on the lid aligned with jug outlet. Cover jug lid with measuring cup. Turn measuring cup anticlockwise to the “Lock” mark as below (4).
IMPORTANT: Make sure the measuring cup is locked on correctly in order to form a correct vacuum seal and ensure proper product function.

Tamper
The tamper can be used with the jug during operation. It should be placed in the glass jug through the measuring cup opening position on the glass jug lid. This ensures that the tamper does not touch the blades. Press tamper with force and swing during work process, this can make the crushing effect more even.
Note:
- Use only tamper while jug is in operation and not any other tool or utensil, which might damage blade. If not using tamper, cover measuring cup and lock lid.
- If vacuum pumping tank does not stick to the lid automatically, or the control panel displays “E0” during operation, this indicated the vacuum pumping set is leaking air. Stop working and recheck that all parts are installed well and that the measuring cup is locked firmly, then repeat steps a. and b. above.
