Black & Decker IB12, IB74, IB10 Electrical Cord, Blender Jar Assembly, Polarized Plug, How to Use

The Electrical Cord

The cord length of this appliance was select- ed to reduce safety hazards that may occur with a longer cord. If more cord length is needed, an extension cord may be used. It should be rated not less than 10 amperes, 120 volts or 6 amperes, 220 volts. When using a longer cord, be sure that it does not drape over a working area or dangle where it could be pulled on or ripped over.

Blender Jar Assembly

1.Before first use, wash all parts except the base. Put the gasket on top of the Blade Assembly.

2.Place the Blade Assembly into the Jar Base and turn the Jar Base clockwise until tight. Figure A

3.Place the Jar firmly onto the Unit Base.

Polarized Plug

(North American/Central American Models Only)

This appliance has a polarized plug—one blade is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.

Tamper-Resistent Screw

This appliance is equipped with tamper- resistant screws to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or elec- tric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

How to Use

1. Be sure the unit is “off” and plug the cord

into a standard electrical outlet.

2. Place the food to be blended into the Jar.

3. Put the Lid on the Jar before beginning. Be sure

that the Lid Cap is in place. When crushing ice

or hard foods, keep one hand on the Lid.

4. Select the desired speed setting:

• In general, use lower positions for gentle

blending, chopping, and grinding; in 6 speed

(IB73/IB74 Series), 10-speed (IB10 Series),

or 12-speed (IB12 Series) models use mid-

range positions for mixing, beating, and

creaming. In all models use higher settings

for heavy-duty blending such as liquefying

or pureeing fruits. In 6, 10, or 12-speed

models, press the Low/High button then,

press the appropriate speed level for blend-

ing at higher settings. Figure C

• For quick blending tasks, press the Pulse

button for a few seconds, then release. Use
