II. ASSEMBLY \ DISASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS
First, a good working area should be chosen to operate the
unit. The motor base should be placed on a counter at a
comfortable working height, and have a standard 115 volt
power outlet available. Always keep the machine unplugged
during assembly and disassembly.
A. CUTTER BOWL ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS
The ®Blixer 3 comes from the factory completely assembled.
However, prior to use the machine should be cleaned accord-
ing to the cleaning instructions detailed in section IV.
There are five basic components of the unit: The assembled
motor base which contains the motor and other electrical com-
ponents, the 3 liter stainless steel bowl, the processing "S"
blade, the wiper assembly, and a clear polycarbonate see-
through lid.
Instructions for Assembly:
Step 1. Place the bowl on the motor base with the handle just
off center and to the left (as you are facing the front) of the
center of the motor base and twist counterclockwise. This
should lock the bowl into place. When the bowl is in the proper
position, it should be level with the top surface of the motor
base.
NOTE: The machine should not be operated unless the
bowl is in the proper position.
Step 2. Place the processing blade down on the motor shaft
and rotate it until it falls into place. The bottom blade should
be located just off the bottom of the bowl when properly in
place. Wear cutting gloves when handling the blade.
Step 3. Push the wiper shaft through the center of the lid
from the underside. With the other hand attach the wiper
handle. Press the metal button and push the handle on to the
wiper shaft. Rotate if necessary to align the square hole in
the handle with the square part of the shaft. Press together
firmly from both sides. When the button is released it should
pop out to its original position.
Step 4. Notice the raised tab on the top of the lid extending to
the edge. At the edge there is another plastic tab extending
downward. Place the lid on the bowl so that this tab in the lid
assembly will be over the bar on the front side of the bowl.
Press the lid down and fasten the hasp type clamps on each
side of the bowl over the bowl lid.
NOTE: The tab on the lid assembly provides a safety feature
for the machine so that if the lid is removed while the motor is
running, the magnetic safety switch will stop the motor. This
should only be considered a safety device and not used
to turn the machine off. Always use the off switch lo-
cated on the front of the machine to turn the unit off!
Additionally, always make sure the blades have come to a
complete stop before removing the bowl lid. If the safety switch
ever fails to operate as described above, the unit should be
serviced.
The machine should now be completely assembled and ready
to run according to the operation instructions listed in the next
Section.
Disassembly:
Disassembly of the unit is simply done in reverse order of
assembly. Remember to turn the unit off, and make sure the
blade has come to a full stop before removing the bowl lid. It
is also recommended that the machine be unplugged from
the wall socket during assembly and disassembly.
