ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

Before first use

Rinse and dry thoroughly. Ensure no water remains inside the blending leg to avoid water running into the motor body when reattached.

Disassemble and wash the chopping blade, chopper bowl, chopper bowl lid, storage lid, and blending jug in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Ensure no water remains on the chopper bowl lid to avoid water running into the motor body when reattached.

NOTE
