Product Information
Full details
The Salter Retro Jug Blender is designed for home cooks who want to easily prepare smoothies, protein shakes, and frozen cocktails with a touch of classic style. Its key benefit is the 1.5-litre capacity combined with precision stainless-steel blades that handle ice crushing and blending tasks with ease. While it offers versatile performance, it is important to note that the unit occupies a significant footprint on your countertop, which may be a consideration for those with limited kitchen workspace.

FAQs
Is the glass jug dishwasher safe?
While the glass jug is durable, we recommend hand washing to preserve the life of the seals and blade assembly.
Can I blend hot soups in this blender?
Yes, the glass jug is suitable for blending warm liquids, but ensure you do not overfill and avoid blending boiling liquids to prevent pressure buildup.
Is the blender suitable for crushing large ice cubes?
Yes, the stainless-steel blades are designed for ice; however, using slightly smaller ice cubes or crushed ice will prolong the motor life.
How do I clean the blades safely?
Add warm water and a drop of dish soap to the jug, then run it on the pulse setting for a few seconds to clean the blades without touching them directly.
Does this model come in other colors?
Yes, the Salter Retro collection includes matching options in colors such as cream and pink.
Troubleshooting
Blender will not start
Check that the power cord is securely plugged in and ensure the jug is correctly seated on the base.
Motor smells or sounds strained
You may have overloaded the jug; reduce the amount of ingredients or add more liquid to help the blades spin freely.
Leaking from the base
Ensure the blade assembly is tightened properly and the rubber gasket is seated correctly against the jug.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your blender is straightforward: ensure the base is placed on a flat, dry, and level surface. Before initial use, wash the detachable jug and lid in warm, soapy water and dry them completely. To care for your appliance, always unplug the unit before cleaning the base with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. The jug is designed to be removed from the base after blending; handle it with care due to the glass weight. Do not immerse the motor base in water, and ensure the blade assembly is securely tightened if you detach it for deep cleaning. Always check that the lid is locked firmly into position before turning on the power to prevent spills.
