When hot water is used or the jug is fully filled, do not exceed the highest scale mark.
Make sure the jug cover is tightly closed and gradually turn the “Speed Control Switch” from low to high speed. After use, take out the processed food carefully to avoid burns.
Do not use the jug if it is broken or chipped. Check to see if the rotating unit and the blade are loosened or damaged. When the work bowl has been used for one year or longer, it is suggested to replace it with an original one of the same specifications.
When the appliance is running, never use your hand or any other part of your body to touch the rotating unit, especially the blade. Take care when cleaning or replacing the blade to avoid cuts and other dangers.

Prior to operation, the unit should stay about 20cm away from the appliance. To process liquid food, the appliance must be started at a slow speed since the impact can be caused by an instant start, which may result in liquid splashing out of the container.
When in the jug, the food volume should not exceed the safe scale mark on the jug. The jug should then be closed tightly.
The jug uses an open design. When food processing is finished, take out the processed food as early as possible. If it is impossible to take out it immediately, there might be slight water seepage at the bottom of the jug, which is normal. Please take out the processed food immediately and clean the jug.
Prior to use, confirm that the jug is fully connected with the base and that the rubber cover is fully connected with the jug. In order to avoid overflow of food, do not open the jug cover during use.

Food Types

To process liquid food, the blender must be started at low speed to prevent liquid splashing out of the container. After the blender becomes stable, you may adjust to an appropriate operating speed.

To process food that can foam easily (e.g. tea), use the pulse switch, pulse based on the amount of foam desired.
When making smooth food, adding a small amount of water can help reduce the difficulty and processing time.

Time Control
