Vigtige sikkerhedsforanstaltninger
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:
- Læs alle instruktioner, før du bruger blenderen.
- Nedsænk ikke motorbasen i vand eller andre væsker.
- Tæt opsyn er nødvendigt, når et apparat bruges af eller i nærheden af børn.
- Træk stikket ud af stikkontakten, når det ikke er i brug, før du samler eller adskiller dele og før rengøring.
- Undgå kontakt med bevægelige dele.
- Brug ikke noget apparat med en beskadiget ledning eller stik, eller efter at apparatet ikke fungerer korrekt eller er blevet tabt eller beskadiget på nogen måde.
- Brug af tilbehør, der ikke anbefales eller sælges af producenten, kan forårsage brand, elektrisk stød eller personskade.
- Må ikke bruges udendørs.
- Lad ikke ledningen hænge ud over kanten af bordet eller bordpladen eller røre ved varme overflader.
- Hold hænder og redskaber væk fra beholderen under blendning for at forhindre risikoen for alvorlig personskade eller beskadigelse af blenderen. En skraber må kun bruges, når blenderen ikke kører.
- Bladene er skarpe. Håndter med forsigtighed.

Før første brug

Betjeningsvejledning

- Sørg for, at blenderen er samlet korrekt, og at låget er sikkert på plads.
- Sæt netledningen i en standard 120V AC stikkontakt.
- Turn the control dial to select your desired speed:
- 'P' (Pulse): Provides short bursts of power for chopping or controlled blending. The blender operates only while the dial is held in this position.
- '1' (Low): For lighter blending tasks, such as mixing thin batters or light sauces.
- '2' (High): For more intensive blending, such as smoothies, pureeing, or crushing ice.
- Blend indtil den ønskede konsistens er opnået.
- Once blending is complete, turn the dial to the '0' (Off) position and unplug the blender.

Blandingstip:
- Always add liquids first when blending to ensure smooth operation.
- Cut solid ingredients into small pieces (approximately 1-inch cubes) before adding to the blender.
- Do not overfill the blending jar beyond the 48 oz (6 cup) maximum fill line.
- For thick mixtures, use the 'Pulse' setting or stop the blender, stir the ingredients with a spatula (only when the blender is off), and then continue blending.

Fejlfinding
If your blender is not operating as expected, refer to the following common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Blenderen tænder ikke. | Ikke tilsluttet; stikkontakten virker ikke; kanden er ikke sat korrekt i. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged in. Check power outlet with another appliance. Re-seat the blending jar firmly on the motor base. |
| Ingredienserne blendes ikke jævnt. | For lidt væske; for mange faste ingredienser; ingredienser for store. | Add more liquid. Reduce the amount of solid ingredients. Cut solid ingredients into smaller pieces. Use the 'Pulse' function or stop and stir. |
