[. . . ] 15 Keep the smoothie maker and cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.

In extreme cases, they may scald, so, when using hot liquids: a) before pouring into the smoothie maker, let the liquid cool down to the sort of temperature you can handle comfortably b) run the motor only when the cap is fitted ­ to add ingredients, stop the motor, remove the cap, add the ingredients, replace the cap, then re-start the motor c) put a hand on the cap and lid, to hold them in place while blending d) if the lid is too hot for comfort, stop the motor, remove the lid, and let the liquid cool down further ­ replace the lid before blending crushed ice 35 If you're making crushed ice for cocktails, make sure the smoothie maker is clean, then rinse it out thoroughly. The slightest trace of detergent will flatten any drink to which it is added. 37 Put half to threequarters of a cup of ice into the smoothie maker, then add 1 tablespoon (15ml) of fresh cold water. 38 Put the lid on the smoothie maker, then press the f button 3 or 4 times, with short pauses between. Too much blending will reduce the ice to liquid, too little will merely chip the edges/corners off the ice. 41 Don't be tempted simply to increase the amount of ice and blend for longer. Too much ice will never give you satisfactory results. care and maintenance caution take great care handling the blade unit ­ the blades are sharp 1 Switch off (2) and unplug before cleaning. 2 Clean as soon after use as possible, to prevent residues setting inside the jug. 3 Turn the jug and base about an eighth of a turn anti-clockwise to release the base from the motor unit, then lift the jug and base off the motor unit. 5 Unscrew the tap from the jug ­ it takes 2 complete turns to unscrew. 6 Unscrew the lever and its retaining ring from the tap ­ this takes about 22 turns. 8 Hold the jug base firmly with one hand, hold the jug handle with the other. 9 Turn the jug, to bring the q on the transparent part of the jug over the open padlock U on the top of the jug base. 10 Carefully lift the transparent part of the jug away from the jug base. 13 If they really do need cleaning, the blade unit and seal may stick to the transparent part of the jug. 6 14 If this happens, turn the transparent part of the jug upside down and lift the blade unit and seal off with your fingernails. 15 Wash the cap, lid, stirrer, tap parts, jug, jug base, blade unit, and seal in warm soapy water, and leave them to drain dry.
