How to use

BEFORE FIRST USE: After unpacking the blender, follow the instructions in "Care and cleaning."

Your blender jar and cutting blade assembly are subject to wear during normal use. Always inspect jar for nicks, chips, or cracks. Always inspect cutting blade assembly for broken, cracked, or loose blades. If jar or cutting blade assembly is damaged, do not use. Call our toll-free customer service number 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.
2. If necessary, assemble blade assembly and collar onto jar. Then set jar into place on blender base, making sure it is securely seated.
3. Put ingredients in jar and place lid on jar.
4. Plug cord into outlet.
5. Before processing food or beverages, ensure that blender lid is secured onto jar and jar is secured onto blender base. If your blender has a Dial Control (See "Parts and features"), select HI/LO setting; then turn dial to select a speed, or select the Pulse setting. If using a blender with Push-Button Control, first select a LO or HI power button; then push desired speed button. Blender speed increases as buttons are pushed left to right. When using the Pulse button, the blender will only run when the button is held down. Always place one hand on blender lid during operation.
6. 
   When blending hot liquids, remove fillercap of two-piece lid or open vent opening of lid with messfree spout, and close any lid openings along the edge intended for pouring. Hot liquids may push lid off jar during blending. To prevent possible burns: Do not fill blender jar beyond the 3-cup (750 ml) level. With the protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on top of lid. Keep exposed skin away from lid. Start blending at lowest speed.
7. ALWAYS turn blender off and wait until blades have stopped rotating before removing jar.
8. To remove jar after blending is complete, lift jar straight up.
9. NEVER replace jar onto unit while motor is running.

Care and cleaning

Electrical Shock Hazard. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.

1. Unplug blender from electrical outlet.
2. Wipe blender base, control panel, and cord with a damp cloth or sponge. To remove stubborn spots, use a mild, nonabrasive cleanser.
3. Carefully wash jar, filler-cap, lid, and cutting blade assembly in hot, soapy water. Care should be taken when handling the cutting blade assembly as it is very sharp. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not soak. These parts may also be washed in a dishwasher.
4. Store blender with lid ajar to prevent container odor.

Blender tips

• To add foods when blender is operating, remove fillercap from blender lid or open mess-free spout and add ingredients through the opening.
• For best performance, the minimum amount of liquid needed per recipe is one cup (8 ounces/250 ml). Add more liquid if food is not blending properly.
• If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to sides of the jar, there may not be enough liquid in the jar to blend efficiently.
• Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip egg whites, grind raw meat, or extract juices from fruits and vegetables.
• Do not store food or liquids in the blender jar.
• Avoid bumping or dropping the blender when in operation or at any time.
