HELPFUL HINTS

•It only takes seconds to perform a function, not minutes. Stop the blender after several seconds to check the results. This will help avoid over-processing.

•Always place lid over container before blending.

•Place liquid ingredients into the blender first, unless recipe instructs otherwise.

•Extra ingredients may be added while blending by removing cap on top of lid.

•Shut blender off if blending stops or ingredients stick to the container. Remove the lid and, with a rubber spatula, push the mixture toward the blades. Place lid back on top of the container and resume blending.

•Do not place any utensil in the container - spoon, spatula, knife, etc.- while blender is in operation.

•To reduce wear on the cutting blade assembly, place solid food portions in blender 1/2 cup at a time. Raw fruits and vegetables or cooked meats should be cut in 1" pieces before blending.

•Remove thick mixtures easily through bottom of the container after removing the cutting blade assembly.

•Do not store food in the container.

•When recipes require different speeds for different blend ingredients, blend a portion at a time.

•When crushing ice, add only one cube at a time. Blend ice only when liquid is in the container.

•Always lift container out of base to prevent it from unscrewing from the blade assembly. Grasp collar and handle to avoid content spillage.

CARE AND CLEANING

This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Refer it to qualified personnel if servicing is needed.

NOTE: Do not put parts in an automatic dishwasher, as damage may occur due to heat and water pressure. However, container may be placed in dishwasher WITHOUT lid, collar and cutting blade assembly.

•Always unplug the unit before cleaning.

•To clean the container, disassemble the blender by unscrewing collar from base and cautiously remove cutting blade assembly from container.

•Remove cutting blade and gasket from the collar.

•Wash lid, cap, plastic container, gasket, cutting blade and collar in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

•Wipe base with a damp cloth or sponge. NEVER IMMERSE base in water or any other liquids.

•Re-assemble (see ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS).

•When storing blender, leave lid slightly open to prevent container odor.
