Operating Instructions

Wet Blade Container

The Wet Blade Container is designed for processing liquids, including juice, frozen mixtures, sauces, soups, purées, batters, and for wet chopping. Before using this container for Programs or the Variable Speed option, always begin with the Variable Speed Dial pointed at the Stop Symbol () at the top of the dial.

1.Move the On / Off switch to the On position.

2.Load the container before placing it on the motor base. Place liquids and soft foods in the container first, solid items and ice last. Although not necessary for blending, you may want to cut or break food into smaller pieces for more precise measuring of ingredients.

3.Securely fasten the 2-part lid. Always use the complete 2-part lid when blending (unless the tamper is inserted through the lid plug opening). Especially when blending hot ingredients, make sure that the lid is securely latched.

4.With the motor off, set the wet blade container on the motor base by aligning it over the centering pad. Do not ever attempt to put a container on an operating motor base or to operate a motor base without a container properly in place.

5.Use the Variable Speed dial to select a function.

•Variable Speed: Rotate the dial right of center to Variable Speed 1.

•Programs: Rotate the dial left of center to the desired program.

6.Activate the blades by pressing the Start / Stop Switch. Your container may shift as it gets into an aligned position.

•Variable Speed: slowly rotate the Variable Speed dial to the right to the desired speed.

•Programs: The programs vary in blending speed and duration and will automatically stop at the end of the program. Programs can be interrupted by pushing down the Start / Stop switch at any time. If reactivated by pushing down the Start / Stop switch, the program will start at the beginning.

7.If the mixture stops circulating, you may have trapped an air bubble. To resolve Insert the tamper through the lid plug and stir until it “burps.” If this does not work, press the On / Off switch to stop the motor. Remove the container from the motor base, and use a rubber spatula to press the air bubble away from the blades. Return the container to the motor base, replace the lid, and continue blending.
