INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY

MODEL 13617

RUSSELL HOBBS GLOW SMOOTHIE MAKER

Congratulations on purchasing our Russell Hobbs Glow Smoothie Maker. Each unit is

manufactured to ensure safety and reliability. Before use, please read the instructions carefully

and keep it for future reference.

Read the instructions and keep them safe. If you pass the smoothie maker on, pass

on the instructions too. Remove all packaging, but keep it till you know the smoothie

maker works.

Important Safeguards

Follow basic safety precautions, including:

1 This smoothie maker must only be used by a responsible adult.

2 Don’t put the motor unit in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or

outdoors.

3 Unplug before dismantling or cleaning.

4 The smoothie maker is fitted with a safety switch to prevent the motor operating unless

the jug is in place. Don’t use this to switch the smoothie maker on and off.

5 Switch off (press and release Y) before fitting the jug to the motor unit.

6 Switch off (press and release Y), and wait till the blades come to a stop before removing

the lid from the jug, or removing the jug from the motor unit.

7 Don’t use the smoothie maker unless the lid is in place.

8 Don’t fill with anything hotter than you can comfortably handle (i.e. liquid temperature

below 40°C).

9 When blending hot liquids, put a hand on the lid to hold it in place.

10 Don’t put your hand into the jug, even after you’ve removed it from the motor unit

–the blades are sharp.

11 Don’t put any implement (spoon, spatula, etc.), other than the stirrer, into the jug while

the smoothie maker is plugged in.

12 Don’t leave the smoothie maker unattended while plugged in.

13 Sit the motor unit on a dry, firm, level surface, near a power socket.

14 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.

15 Don’t let the jug overflow. If liquid gets under the motor unit, it may be sucked into the

motor, damaging it.

16 Don’t fill the jug above the 1.7l mark – if you do, the contents may force the lid off when

you start the motor.

17 Don’t run the motor for more than three minutes at a time, then leave it for a minute to

cool down before using it again.

18 Don’t run the smoothie maker empty, it may overheat.

19 Keep the smoothie maker and the cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.

20 Don’t fit any attachment or accessory other than those we supply.

21 Don’t use the smoothie maker for any purpose other than those described in these

instructions.

22 Don’t operate the smoothie maker if it’s damaged or malfunctions.

23 If the cable is damaged, the smoothie maker must be returned, in order to avoid hazard.

Household use only

Before using for the first time

1 Turn to “care & maintenance” on page 6, and clean the smoothie maker and

attachments thoroughly, to remove manufacturing dust, etc.

Preparation

2 Sit the motor unit on a dry, firm, level surface, near a power socket.

3 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.

4 Press and release to ensure everything’s off.

5 Put the plug into the power socket.

Fit the jug

6 When you fit the jug to the motor unit, the illuminated panel will glow, and will stay on till

you remove the jug, or unplug the smoothie maker.

7 In normal use, you should treat the jug, jug base, and tap as a single unit. They should

only be separated when you come to clean them.

8 You may fit the jug with the tap to the right or left.

9 There are two sets of padlock markings on the base of the jug, one at the back,

and one at the front.

10 Hold the jug above the motor unit, with the tap to the side you want.

11 Align the open padlock facing you with the on the motor unit.

12 Lower the jug on to the motor unit, then turn the jug to align the closed padlock with

the .

Fill the jug

13 Lift the lid off the jug.

14 You’ll find it’s quite stiff (it has be, to keep the ingredients from escaping when you turn

the motor on).

15 Put the ingredients into the jug.

16 These should be a mixture of liquids and solids (frozen ingredients count as solids).

17 Don’t fill past the 1.7 mark. If you do, the contents may force the lid off when you start

the motor.

Fit the lid

18 Put the lid on the jug, and press it down.

19 Don’t use the smoothie maker without fitting the lid. The contents may escape; you may

hurt someone; you may be tempted to put a hand into the jug.

The cap

20 The cap fits into the hole in the lid. Generally, use the cap if you’re using the smoothie

maker as a blender, use the stirrer if you’re making drinks or smoothies.

21 If you’re making mayonnaise, you can fit the cap upside down, and drizzle oil into the

mix through the small hole in the cap.

The stirrer

22 If you’re making drinks or smoothies, instead of fitting the cap, drop the long end of the

stirrer into the hole.

23 If solid ingredients aren’t getting down to the blades, give them a poke with the stirrer to

chivvy them along.

24 Rolling the stirrer anti-clockwise (the opposite way to the blades), against the jug wall,

will help with thicker mixtures.

25 Don’t bash it against the wall of the jug.

26 Don’t run the smoothie maker without fitting either the cap or the stirrer, otherwise solid

ingredients may be ejected through the hole when they hit the blades.

The controls

27 The controls are:

□ top button –low speed, for lighter jobs, using mainly liquid ingredients. If you’re

using the tap to dispense really thick smoothies, running the motor on low speed will

help the flow.

bottom button –high speed, for heavier jobs, using mainly solid ingredients You can

swap directly between □and pressing either button cancels the other.

middle button –this button is spring-loaded, it has two functions: it returns both □and

buttons to “off”, and switches the motor off it also acts as a pulse button – press to run

the motor, let go to stop.

Use the button, for instance, to reduce ice to slush, for icy drinks.

Use it in bursts –press, let go, check the results, repeat, till you’ve reached the degree

of slushiness you want.

28 Don’t run the motor for more than three minutes at a time, then leave it for a minute to

cool down before using it again.

Adding ingredients

29 To add ingredients while the smoothie maker is working:

cap - lift the cap off, pour/drop the new ingredients through the hole, then replace the

cap in the hole

stirrer - lift the stirrer out of the hole, scrape it against the side of the hole on the way

out, to remove drips, then pour/drop the new ingredients through the hole, and replace

the stirrer in the hole.

30 Check that the added ingredients don’t push the volume in the jug past the 1.7l mark.

Finished?

31 Switch off (press and release , and wait till the blades come to a stop before removing

the lid from the jug, or removing the jug from the motor unit.

The tap

32 You can rotate the tap lever to whatever side or angle you find convenient.

33 To open the tap, press the lever.

34 To lock it open, press as far as it’ll go.

35 When dispensing thick smoothies, it helps to run the motor at low speed (1). If they’re

really thick, use the stirrer as well (use it via the hole, don’t remove the lid).

36 When dispensing thick smoothies, remember that you’ll need one hand for the tap, and

one for the stirrer, so find a stable, flat-bottomed glass, cup, or container, to sit on the

work surface, under the tap, for the smoothie.

Hot liquids

37 No matter how careful you are, some splashing is inevitable. At higher temperatures,

splashes on skin can hurt. In extreme cases, they may scald, so, when using hot liquids:

a) before pouring into the jug, let the liquid cool down to the sort of temperature you

can handle comfortably (i.e. liquid temperature below 40°C)

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 lid, to hold it in place while blending

d) if the lid is too hot for comfort, remove it and let the liquid cool down further –

replace the lid before blending.

Crushed Ice

38 Before using the smoothie maker to crush ice, make sure it’s clean and rinse it out

thoroughly. The slightest trace of detergent may affect the taste of the crushed ice and

will flatten any drink to which it is added

39 Ice “cubes” come in many shapes and sizes. You’ll have to experiment with the ice from

your ice cube tray.

40 Start with half to three quarters of a cup of ice or 4 –6 cubes and add 15 ml (1

Tablespoon) of fresh cold water.

41 Put the lid on the jug, then press the pulse button 3 or 4 times, with short pauses

between.

42 Check the results, and adjust. Too much blending will reduce the ice to liquid, too little

will merely chip the edges/corners off the ice.

43 Don’t try to crush ice without adding water to the jug.

44 Don’t be tempted simply to increase the amount of ice and blend for longer. This won’t

work. Too much ice will never give you satisfactory results.

Care and maintenance

1 Switch the smoothie maker off, and unplug it.

2 Clean as soon after use as possible, to prevent residues setting inside the jug.

3 Turn the jug to align on the bottom of the jug base with on the motor unit, then lift

the jug and base off the motor unit.

4 Remove the lid and cap or stirrer.

Caution - take great care when handling the blade unit.

5 Remove the blade unit from the base before removing the base from the jug.

6 Turn the jug upside down, so you can see the underside of the blade unit.

7 Hold the jug handle with one hand, hold the underside of the blade unit with the other

hand, and turn the blade unit clockwise to release it –it’s quite stiff.

8 Carefully lift the blade unit out of the jug.

9 Keep hold of the jug handle –grip the jug base, and turn it anti-clockwise to release.

10 Lift the seal off the blade unit –mind the blades, they’re sharp!

11 Unscrew the tap from the jug base –it takes 2 complete turns to unscrew

12 Unscrew the lever and its retaining ring from the tap –this takes about 2½ turns.

13 Wash the cap, lid, stirrer, tap parts, jug, blade unit, and seal in warm soapy water, and

leave them to drain dry.

14 Don’t use a cloth for drying. You may leave lint on the inside surfaces, and you’ll

probably cut yourself on the blades.

15 Use a bottle brush on the hole in the jug that the tap fits into.

16 Your bottle-brush may also come in handy when cleaning the inside of the tap.

17 If you’ve left it too long before cleaning, and bits have glued themselves to the inside of

the jug, use a nylon brush. If that doesn’t work, crush some ice cubes in it –that’ll shift

anything.

18 Don’t put any part of the smoothie maker in a dishwasher.

19 The extreme environment inside the dishwasher can affect the surface finishes.

20 Wipe the outside of the motor unit with a clean damp cloth.

21 Don’t put the motor unit in water or any other liquid.

22 Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.

Reassembly

23 Wait till everything’s dry.

24 Fit the jug base to the jug before replacing the blade unit.

25 Reseat the seal on top of the jug base –this seal is flat, with a ribbed upper surface.

26 Align the on the glass part of the jug with the open padlock on the top of the jug base.

Jug base.

27 Lower the glass part of the jug into the jug base.

28 Turn the jug to bring the over the closed padlock on the top of the jug base.

29 The jug must be turned far enough round to allow the safety switch actuator to move

freely. You can see it if you look down into the jug from behind the handle.

30 If you can’t move the actuator, you haven’t turned the jug far enough round.

31 Replace the seal round the blade unit –keep your fingers clear of the blades.

32 It’s easier to replace the blade unit in the jug by holding the jug upright, and putting the

blade unit up into the bottom of the jug. This prevents the seal from falling out.

33 When the blade unit is in place, it’s easier to the jug upside down to tighten the blade

unit –it’s a bayonet-type fitting, and it tightens anti-clockwise.

34 Turn the jug the right way up.

35 Screw the tap lever back into the tap –about 2½ turns of the retaining ring. Don’t

overtighten it. If you do, our spares department will be delighted to sell you a new tap.

They love people who break things.

36 To replace the tap, hold it upright, put it into the hole in the jug base, then turn it 2

complete turns clockwise –no more.

If the tap lock comes loose, turn the jug and base upside down, hold the tap lock flat side

down, with the pip towards the inside, then slide it back into the jug base.

Staining

37 Carotenoids, which are found in many other vegetables as well as carrots, can cause

severe staining. This staining may be impossible to remove. Don’t worry about it, it won’t

affect the operation of the smoothie maker.

38 If you want to try, then you could try soaking the stained parts overnight in one of the

following:

a) quarter of a cup of household bleach in a sink full of warm water

b) a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to two parts warm water

c) half a small packet of baking soda in enough warm water to cover the parts

Caution Don’t try to mix these methods. You may make a mess, you may cause nasty eye-

watering, breath-catching fumes, and you may harm the parts you’re trying to clean.
