handle to avoid direct contact with the blades. Exercise care when handling blade assembly, as the
blades are loose and sharp.

USING THE TOTAL CRUSHING® PITCHER
IMPORTANT:
• Review all warnings at the beginning of this Owner's Guide before proceeding.
• As a safety feature, if the pitcher and lid are not properly installed, the motor will be disabled. If this
happens, repeat step 5 on next page. When the pitcher and lid are properly installed, the program
button LEDs will illuminate, indicating the appliance is ready to use.
WARNING:
The Stacked Blade Assembly is loose and sharp and NOT locked in place. If using the pour spout,
ensure the lid is fully locked onto the blender pitcher. If pouring with the lid removed, carefully remove the Stacked
Blade Assembly first, holding it by the shaft. Failure to do so will result in a risk of laceration.
NOTE:
• If the unit is plugged in and powered on, but the pitcher is not installed, the LEDs on the control
panel will flash.
• DO NOT add ingredients before completing installation of the Stacked Blade Assembly.
• If the Stacked Blade Assembly is not fully seated, you will not be able to install and lock the lid.
• The pitcher lid handle will not fold down unless the lid is attached to the pitcher.
• DO NOT process or grind dry ingredients.
1
Plug in motor base and place on a clean, dry, level surface such as
a countertop or table.
2
Lower the pitcher onto the motor base. The handle should be aligned slightly
to the right and the pitcher should be oriented so the LOCK symbols are
visible on the motor base. Rotate the pitcher clockwise until it clicks into place.
3
Exercising care, grasp the Stacked Blade Assembly by the top of the shaft and
place it onto the drive gear inside the pitcher. Note that the blade assembly will fit
loosely onto the drive gear.
4 Add ingredients to the pitcher. DO NOT add ingredients past the MAX LIQUID line
on the pitcher.

counterclockwise and then lift up.
8a To pour out thinner mixtures, ensure the lid is locked in place,
then open the pour spout cap.
