How to Assemble and Use

IMPORTANT: Your blender jar and

cutting blades are subject to wear

during normal use. Always inspect jar

for nicks, chips, or cracks. Always

inspect cutting blades for broken,

cracked, or loose blades. If jar or cut-

ting blades are damaged, do not use.

Call our toll-free customer service

number to obtain replacement parts.

1. Make sure blender is unplugged.

Place blender base on clean, dry

surface to keep foreign particles

from being pulled up into motor

during operation.

2. Place blades in safety base. Fit

gasket over blades. The gasket

must lie flat. Set jar on top of gas-

ket and screw on safety base.

3. Make sure the safety base is firmly

screwed onto the jar. If not, it may

loosen later when motor is turned on.

4. Set jar into place on blender base,

making sure it is securely seated.

5. Plug cord into outlet.

6. Put ingredients in jar; place lid

on jar. Place hand on lid when

blending thin liquids.

7. Process food or beverages. See

the “Blending Techniques” section

for speeds and processing tips.

8. ALWAYS turn blender off and wait

until blades have stopped rotating

before removing jar.

9. To remove jar after blending is

complete, lift the jar straight up.

10. NEVER replace jar onto unit while

motor is running.

Crushing Ice

Fill blender jar half-full with cold water.

Add about 2 cups (500 ml) of ice

cubes. Place lid on blender jar then

turn the rotary dial to the high speed

setting. Continue until ice is crushed

to desired consistency. Pour contents

into colander or sieve to drain off

water.

DO NOT CRUSH ICE WITHOUT

LIQUID. Failure to follow these

directions can result in damage to the

blades, jar, blender, and possibly result

in personal injury.

Hints for Best Use

• Processing hot foods or liquids in

the blender may cause hot liquid to

spurt out when the lid is removed.

Always remove the filler cap of the

cover before blending hot foods or

liquids. When blending hot liquids,

remove center piece of two-piece

lid. Do not fill blender jar beyond the

3-cup (750 ml) level. Always begin

processing at the lowest speed set-

ting. Keep hands and other exposed

skin away from the cover opening to

reduce the risk of possible burns.

• To add foods when blender is

operating, remove filler cap from lid

and add ingredients through the

opening.

• If blending action stops during

blending or ingredients stick to sides

of the jar, turn blender Off / O.

Remove lid and use a rubber spatu-

la to push mixture toward blades.

• Do not try to mash potatoes, mix

stiff dough, whip egg whites, grind

raw meat, or extract juices from

fruits and vegetables. The blender is

not made to perform these tasks.

• Do not store food or liquids in the

blender jar.

• Moisten lip of lid to facilitate placing

lid on jar.
