How to Use

Before first use: Wash all parts except Base in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Wipe Base with a damp cloth and dry.

1. Make sure Blender is unplugged. Place Base on clean, dry surface to keep foreign particles from being pulled up into motor during operation.
2. Set Jar into place on Base, making sure it is securely seated.
3. Add liquid (at least 8 oz. [238 mL] to MIN liquid line) ingredients first, then other ingredients to Blending Jar. Do NOT fill ingredients above 48 oz. [1250 mL] fill line.
4. Plug into outlet.
   
   Do not operate your Blender continuously for long periods exceeding 3 minutes. If you start to smell a burning odor, stop immediately and remove Blending Jar. Start and run Base ONLY with NO Blending Jar on highest speed for 2 minutes. When trying similar recipes in the future, reduce total amount of ingredients.
5. Always place one hand on Lid during operation.
   
   Burn Hazard. When blending hot liquids, remove filler cap and close any lid openings along edge intended for pouring. Hot liquids may push lid off blending jar during blending.
   To prevent possible burns: Do not fill blending jar beyond 3-cup (710-mL) level. With 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.
6. Before processing food or beverages, ensure that Lid is secured onto Jar and Jar is secured onto Base.
7. Press desired speed button based on functions listed on the control panel. Press DICE or GRIND Button to pulse mixture.
   NOTE: Always place one hand on Blender Lid during operation.
8. ALWAYS turn Blender OFF () and wait until blades have stopped rotating before removing Jar.
9. Lift Jar to remove.
10. NEVER place 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.
2. Wipe Base, Push-Button Control, and cord with a damp cloth or sponge. To remove stubborn spots, use a mild, nonabrasive cleanser.
3. DO NOT use "SANITIZE" setting when washing in dishwasher. SANITIZE cycle temperatures could damage your product. Parts may also be washed with hot, soapy water. Care should be taken when handling cutting assembly as it is very sharp. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not soak.
4. Store Blender with Lid ajar to prevent Jar odor.
5. Cord can be stuffed into bottom of Base for storage.

Blender Tips

• To add foods when Blender is operating, remove Filler-Cap from Blender Lid and add ingredients through opening.
• For best performance, minimum amount of liquid needed per recipe is one cup (8 ounces/237 mL). Add more liquid if food is not blending properly.
• If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to sides of Jar, there may not be enough liquid in 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 blend dry ingredients such as grains and/or coffee beans. Blender is not made to perform these tasks.
• Do not store food or liquids in Blending Jar.
