How to Assemble and Use

IMPORTANT: Your blender jar and cutting assembly are subject to wear during normal use. Always inspect jar for nicks, chips, or cracks. Always inspect cutting assembly for broken, cracked, or loose blades. If jar or cut- ting assembly is damaged, do not use. Call our toll-free customer service num- ber 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.

Insert one side of dispenser

lever tabs into

notches on

front of the

base. Press dispenser lever to the

side to allow the second

tab to slide into a notch on base.
