PRODUCT USAGE

PREPARING THE BLENDER FOR USE

Before using your Blender for the first time, wipe clean Blender Base with a warm damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. Wash Blender Jar, Lid, in warm, sudsy water (see "Care and Cleaning" section). Rinse parts and wipe dry. Be sure the countertop beneath the Blender and surrounding areas are dry and clean.

When moving your Blender, always support/lift from the Blender Base. The Base might disengage from Jar if carried by the Jar only.

USING THE DEVICE

1. Ensure that the Battery is installed on the Base.
2. Place ingredients into the blending Jar. Be careful not to exceed the maximum fill line. For best results, always put the hardest ingredients into the Jar first (frozen fruit) and finish with softer ingredients and liquids.
3. Install the blade assembly with the blade facing downwards into the Jar. Twist the blade assembly clockwise until tightened.
   NOTE: Make sure the seal between the blade assembly and the jar is in place. Do not operate without a seal.
4. Ensure that the motor Base is sitting on a clean, dry surface. Place the blending Jar onto the motor Base with the blade assembly at the bottom and turn to lock into place. The Jar is securely in place when a click sound is heard. Always ensure it is locked into place before using the Blender. If the blade assembly and Jar are not properly attached, the Blender will not operate.
5. To operate, press the ON/OFF button once. The LED light will display and the motor will start. Press the ON/OFF button again to turn the unit off.
   NOTE: The ON/OFF button is a pre-programmed function. The unit will run for one minute before turning off automatically.
6. To pulse the Blender, press the PULSE button, the LED light will display and the motor will start. Release the button again to turn the unit off.
7. Once the ingredients are blended, remove the blending Jar from the Base by twisting the blending Jar counterclockwise (left) to unlock.
   
   Do not try to remove the blending Jar while the motor is still running. Do not press down the jar during removal from base.
8. Place the blending Jar upright on the surface with the black blade assembly at the top. Twist the black blade assembly counterclockwise to remove.
9. To attach the travel Lid, twist clockwise until the Lid is secure. Ensure the drinking cap is closed before placing in any bag.

Do not press down on the Jar when removing the Jar assembly from the blender base.
