MANUAL SPEED SELECTION ON / OFF
The ON / OFF button powers the unit into
READY mode.
ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
There are 5 electronic speed buttons from
MIX through to LIQUIFY.
MIX combines more delicate foods with a folding
motion, and is good for combining wet and dry
ingredients.
LIQUIFY is the fastest setting, and is ideal for
breaking down ingredients to make cocktails
and other finely blended mixtures.
Select the required speed (1 to 5) by pressing
the corresponding speed button. The blender
will start to operate and the selected speed button
will illuminate. The ON / OFF button will illuminate
and cease to flash.
The LCD timer screen will start counting up in one
second increments until 120 seconds is reached.
NOTE
Operate the blender only for the appropriate
amount of time required – do not over blend.
When 120 seconds is reached, the blender will
automatically stop blending and the selected speed
button illumination will go out.
The ON / OFF button will illuminate and flash.
After a few seconds the LCD timer screen will
revert to '00'.
• The Sage
Blender will automatically stop
®
blending after 120 seconds. This is a safety
feature and restricts wear on the motor.
• The speed can be changed at any time during
the blending process. Each time a new speed
is selected its button will illuminate and the
previous speed button illumination will go out.
The number of seconds on the LCD timer screen
will continue to count upwards to 120 seconds
unless interrupted.
Count-up timer
The blender timer counts up in seconds as it
blends on one of the 5 electronic speeds from MIX
to LIQUIFY. When using the timer this way, the
blender will stop after 2 minutes.
PRESET PROGRAMS
Your Sage
Blender features three additional
®
functions, 'AUTO PULSE/ICE CRUSH',
'GREEN SMOOTHIE' and 'SMOOTHIE'. These
three pre-programmed cycles automatically adjust
the blending time and speeds to optimise blending
results. The maximum amount of ice cubes the
blender can blend at any one time is 1 standard
ice tray or 250g. Select the required function by
pressing the corresponding function button. The
blender will start to operate and the selected
function button will illuminate. The ON / OFF button
will illuminate and stop flashing. The LCD timer
screen will start counting down in one second
increments until '00' is displayed.
AUTO CLEAN
Use to remove most of the ingredients off the
blender walls and blades. Add 2 cups warm soapy
water, and press the clean button.
For harder to clean, sticky or thick ingredients,
add ½ teaspoon of dish liquid detergent for extra
cleaning power. For best results, clean the blender
jug this way immediately after use.
NOTE
If the blender is running and a different button
is pressed, the speed will automatically switch
to that program without stopping.
WARNING
Never place anything other than food and liquids
in the blender while the motor is running.
NOTE
Use the PULSE button when the food that is being
processed is too thick or coarse to circulate within
the blender jug.
At the end of use, always ensure the blender is
turned off by pressing the ON / OFF button on
the control panel. Then unplug the cord. Ensure
the motor and blades have completely stopped
before attempting to move the appliance, or
when the Sage
Blender is not in use and before
®
disassembling, cleaning and storing.
