burn hazard
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

To blend, put the items into the Blender Jar. Secure the Lid with the ingredient measuring cap.
Plug the Blender into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Next, place the Blender Jar on the base, making sure that it is fully aligned on the Jar Pad.
NOTE: Do not fill Blender Jar past the topmost measurement mark, especially when blending liquids.
Flip the power switch to ON (I). The Status Indicator Light will flash, indicating that the Blender is in Standby mode and ready to operate.
Flip the Start/Stop Toggle Switch up or down to start. The Status Indicator Light will now be solid. Turn the Control Dial to your desired speed. See the "Product Function Guide" for more details.
Using the Tamper: Remove the Ingredientmeasuring Cap only. Stir or press contents down towards the blade. When finished, replace the Ingredient-measuring Cap before resuming blending.
The Pulse function may also be used on its own as a separate blending function while the Blender is in Standby mode.
After blending, flip the Start/Stop Toggle Switch up or down to stop. Unplug the Blender before removing Blender Jar.

NOTE: Allow the Blender to come to a complete stop before removing the Lid and pouring your blended ingredients.

CARE AND CLEANING

Allow the appliance to cool completely before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.

NOTE: To avoid damaging the Blender, do not immerse the blender base or cord in water. To avoid scratching, do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

Empty the Blender Jar. Fill jar with 24 oz. of hot water and add 3-4 drops of liquid dishwashing detergent. Place the Lid on the Blender Jar, and make sure the Blender Jar is fully in place on the blender base.
Rotate the Control Dial to Max. Flip the Start/Stop Toggle Switch up or down to start. Run the Blender for 35 seconds. Flip the Start/Stop Toggle Switch up or down to stop. When the blade stops spinning, pour out the soapy water, and rinse the Blender Jar with warm water.
Unplug the Blender before cleaning. Wipe the base and the cord with a warm, damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.
Dishwasher-safe, top rack only:
Lid, Tamper, and Ingredient-measuring Cap.
Dishwasher-safe, bottom rack only:
Blender Jar.
All parts may also be washed by hand with a damp cloth and warm soapy water, and then rinsed with warm water and dried with a soft cloth.

SANITIZING THE DEVICE

Remove any remaining contents from the Blender Jar.
Prepare a 200 ppm sodium hypochlorite solution* using 1.75 L of hot water in the Blender Jar. Place the Lid on the Blender Jar, and make sure the Blender Jar is fully in place on the blender base.
Run the Blender on the Max Speed setting for 35 seconds. Flip the Start/Stop Toggle Switch up or down to start the Blender.
Turn off the Blender and let the sanitizing mix sit in the Blender Jar for an additional 2 minutes.
Pour out the sanitizing solution mix. Do not rinse the Blender Jar.
Place the Lid on the Blender Jar. Make sure the empty Blender Jar is fully in place on the blender base. Run the empty Blender for an additional 10 seconds. Do not rinse the jar after sanitizing.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

PROBLEM			SOLUTION
Status Indicator Light is off while unit is plugged in and On/Off switch is in On position:			After 10 minutes of no activity, the blender will go into Sleep mode. Flip Start/Stop Toggle Switch up or down to bring the blender back into Standby mode.
Status Indicator Light is flashing orange color			Indicates error mode. This can be caused by: using a spatula or any other utensil that could obstruct the blade to freely spin, or having an ice cube or hard food in a location that locks up the blade. Unplug the blender and remove the jar from the base, and clear the items. Place the jar back on the base, and then turn on the blender to continue regular use.
The unit stops after continuously running for 6 minutes			This is normal operation for variable speed functions. Refer to "Product function guide" for details.
The unit stops while blending			If blender stops prior to the completion of the selected function, contact an authorized service center for assistance.
If the ingredients of a recipe aren't blending			An air pocket can be created around the blade causing the ingredients to miss the blade. Use the tamper to push ingredients down into the blade. Refer to "Using the commercial blender" section. For certain recipes, adding more liquid may also assist in incorporating the ingredients.
Blender Jar overflows			Unplug and remove the Jar Pad from the housing to make sure the base is fully dry. The Control Dial can be detached by pulling it off with force. Wipe dry, and then replace it back.
If the problem cannot be corrected			See the "Warranty and Service" section. Do not return the Blender to the retailer; retailers do not provide service.

MOTOR HORSEPOWER

Motor horsepower for the blender motor was measured using a dynamometer, a machine that laboratories routinely use to measure the mechanical power of motors. Our 3.0 peak horsepower (HP) motor reference reflects the horsepower output of the motor itself and not the Blender's horsepower output in the Blender Jar. As with any blender, the power output in the jar is not the same as the horsepower of the motor itself.
