FAQs
Can I blend hot liquids in the Smeg BLC02?
The blender is designed for cold and room-temperature ingredients. Check your manual for specific temperature limits regarding hot liquids to avoid damaging the seals.
What is the benefit of the vacuum pump?
Removing air from the jug reduces oxidation, which keeps your smoothies bright in color and preserves more nutrients compared to traditional blending.
Is the blender jug dishwasher safe?
While the 'Auto-clean' feature handles most daily maintenance, it is recommended to hand-wash the jug components to ensure the longevity of the materials.
How do I switch between Single and Family serve modes?
You can toggle the serving mode through the control settings to adjust the blending duration and power output for the volume of ingredients in the jug.
Does the blender come with a warranty?
Warranty terms vary by region; please refer to the documentation included in your product packaging for specific coverage details in your country.
Troubleshooting
Blender will not start
Ensure the jug is correctly seated on the base and the lid is locked in the 'closed' position; the motor will not engage if the safety sensor is not triggered.
Vacuum pump not sealing
Check the rubber gasket on the vacuum pump and the valve on the blender lid for any debris or food particles that might prevent an airtight seal.
Mixture not processing evenly
Use the provided press to help move ingredients toward the blades, or add a small amount of liquid to assist the vortex.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your blender, ensure the base is placed on a flat, stable surface with at least 6 inches of clearance for ventilation. The 1.5L jug should be locked firmly into the base until the safety interlock engages. For the vacuum function, ensure the pump accessory is properly seated on the lid valve before activating. After each use, utilize the 'Auto-clean' programme with warm water and a drop of dish soap. Hand-washing the jug and blade assembly is recommended to preserve the finish, using the provided cleaning brush to remove residue from under the blades safely.
