CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR OSTER® BLENDER
Blender jar parts are corrosion resistant, sanitary and easily cleaned. Before first use and after
every use, separate jar parts by removing the threaded bottom cap from the jar, and clean
thoroughly in warm, soapy water then rinse and dry well. Care shall be taken when handling
the sharp cutting blades during cleaning. After cleaning, assemble the threaded bottom cap on
jar properly.
Periodically check all parts before re-assembly. If the processing blades are stuck or difficult to
turn, DO NOT USE BLENDER. Check by carefully turning the blades in an anti-clockwise
direction (opposite edges are sharp). Blades should turn freely.
If the jar is chipped or cracked, DO NOT USE BLENDER. Further use could result in the jar
breaking during use. Use only OSTER
Blender recommended replacement parts available at
®
an Authorized Service Center.
USE OF DAMAGED OR NON‑RECOMMENDED PARTS COULD RESULT IN SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE BLENDER. See page 5 for proper jar
assembly and user instructions.
NEVER IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER. The housing can be cleaned with a damp
cloth (unplug first). The motor is permanently lubricated and does not require any additional
lubrication. ANY SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE
FACILITY.
HOW YOUR OSTER® BLENDER WORKS
Your OSTER
Blender is a two-speed appliance which operates from slow to fast. This range
®
of speeds makes food preparation easy, interesting and fast.
In addition, your OSTER
Blender has two distinct methods of operation:
®
1. CONTINUOUS run for blending, liquefying and fine chopping.
2. CONTROLLED CYCLE BLENDING, used for chopping pieces of food, such as vegetables,
nuts or cheeses. There are several different ways of operating the CONTROLLED CYCLE /
BLENDING CYCLE feature, but all involve turning the motor on and off intermittently.
When on, food is chopped and tossed away from the blades. When off, the food is
distributed around the blades to make processing more uniform.
NOTE: A cycle consists of operating the blender for about two seconds and then allowing the
blades to coast to a stop.
