It’s amazing how one small part can so easily disable your machine, routine and interest in cooking.
The locking clip on the Bellini is one of those small essential parts that can snap quite easily if you don’t look after it – as has happened to me twice now.
Here I’ll share some tips on how to make sure you don’t lose access to your lovely machine through not looking after this tiny key part.
What is the locking clip?
This plastic device locks and unlocks the blades in the jug.
How to use it?
- Put the clip in the unlock position, the one with the open lock.
- Make sure the rubber seal is on the blade.
- Place the blade in the jug and wriggle it gently all the way down.
- Turn the jug on its side and push down on top of the blade whilst sliding the clip across with your other hand.

If it won’t go in
- DO NOT push too hard or it will snap!
- Instead pull out the blade and rotate it 180 degrees, then try again.
Top Tip
Try spraying a tiny bit of cooking oil around locking clip on the bottom and then sliding the clip back and forth to lubricate it up a bit.
If it does snap
Contact the Bellini Service Department to order a new part (and cry a little as you’ll have no machine for a while).
