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.
