USING THE MANUAL CONTROL
The Manual Control lets you fully control and take advantage of the benefits of the reversible motor technology in your blender. It includes:
• Blending (Toggle Up) – Motor will turn blade counterclockwise (see figure 7) at a continuous speed.
• R everse Blending/ PULSE (Toggle Down) – Motor will turn blade clockwise (see figure 6) at a continuous speed while toggle is held
down.
To use Reverse/ PULSE, push toggle down or up for the desired length of time. Release PULSE and allow blade to stop. Repeat cycle as
desired.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate blender continuously for more than 2 minutes. Please allow the blades to come to a stop, before operating in

BLENDING TIPS

• Put liquids in the Jug first, unless a recipe says otherwise.
• Your blender can be used to crush ice. For best results and to prevent possible damage to the blades, always add a small amount of
liquid to the ice before processing.
• Do not remove the lid while in use. Remove feeder cap to add smaller ingredients.
• Hot Foods: Open the feeder cap to vent steam. Tilt feeder cap away from you. Keep hands away from the cover opening to prevent
possible burns. When working with hot liquids, check speed. Do not add liquid over the 4 cup (1 Litre) level.
• C ut all firm fruits and vegetables, cooked meats, fish and seafood into pieces no larger than 3/4 inch (1.8 cm) to 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cut all
kinds of cheeses into pieces no larger than 3/4 inch (1.8 cm).
• Reverse/ PULSE function should be used to help disloge and mix foods. No cutting or chopping occurs while using this function.
• The maximum rating as marked on the unit is based on the attachment that draws the greatest load. Other recommended attachments
may draw significantly less power.
CARING FOR AND MAINTAINING
YOUR OSTER® BLENDER
AFTER USE:
1. Lift the Jug straight up from the base, remove the lid and empty the Jug.
2. If necessary, use a rubber spatula to scrape foods away from the sides of the Jug.
IMPORTANT: UNPLUG BEFORE CLEANING.
CLEANING
The blade is sharp! Gently remove it.
Release the blade from the bottom of the Jug by turning the Jug bottom cover counterclockwise.
The Jug lid, Jug lid feeder cap and blade are dishwasher safe. Wash them on the top rack of the dishwasher. Place sealing ring into bottom
basket of dishwasher. You can also wash the parts in warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry. Wipe the base with a soft, damp cloth to clean.
Never submerge the motor base in any liquid. Check the parts as you put them back together.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT IMMERSE THE BLENDER BASE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUIDS.
EASY CLEAN
Pour 3 cups of warm water in the blender Jug. Add 1 – 2 drops of liquid dishwashing detergent. Blend detergent for 10 –15 seconds. Empty
Jug of soapy water into sink. Rinse Jug thoroughly with clean water.
NOTE: Easy Clean is not a substitute for regular cleaning described above. It is especially important to disassemble and thoroughly clean
your blender when processing milk, dairy products, meats, seafood and eggs.
STORING
Reassemble the blender for storage. Leave the lid open so no odors are retained.
WARNING: Never put the Jug, or any other parts, in a microwave oven. Never store foods or drinks in the Jug.
