Cleaning And Care - Westinghouse WKBEB221 Instructions Manual

• The blender is not suitable for beating egg whites, whipping cream, mashing
potatoes, grinding meat or mixing dough.
To prevent damage to the blender, do not blend hard foods such as bones,
shelled seafood, shelled nuts or large pieces of solid foods such as turnips,
squash, beets or carrots.
• Do not blend hard textured foods, such as frozen food, dry beans, coffee beans
or rice.
• Do not blend hot liquids or foods. Let the food cool down to room temperature
before blending.
• Do not blend with an empty jar to prevent the motor from overheating.
• When blending ingredients of harder consistencies, you may place one hand on
top of the lid to help support the jar.
RESETTING THE MOTOR
(OVERHEAT PROTECTION)
The blender is designed to protect itself from overheating. The motor will turn off if
the blender is overloaded, blended for too long, used with an empty jar, or if food is
jammed. Should this occur, follow this reset procedure:
1. Switch off and unplug the blender from the power socket.
2. Allow the blender to cool down for approximately 15 minutes.
3. Remove the glass jar from the electric base. Reduce the contents of the glass jar
if it is overloaded (above the "Max" mark). Check with a spatula to ensure that no
ingredients are jamming the blades.
4. Close the lid and re-install the glass jar on the electric base.
5. Once the motor has cooled down, the reset is complete. Plug the blender into
the wall socket and switch on.
To avoid overheating, keep the blending sessions short (less than 3 minutes, with
5 minutes rest in between) and do not exceed the "Max" mark on the glass jar.
