IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.
2. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.
5. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
6. Avoid contact with moving parts.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged supply cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement and repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Call the provided customer service number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.
8. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to persons.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including stove.
11. Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to reduce the risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to blender. A rubber spatula may be used but must be used only when blender is not running.
12. Blades are sharp; handle carefully— especially when assembling, disassembling, or cleaning inside blender jar.
13. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
14. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.
15. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade assembly on base without jar properly attached.
16. Always operate blender with lid in place.
17. When blending hot liquids, remove filler-cap of two-piece lid or open vent opening of lid with mess-free spout, and close any lid openings along the edge intended for pouring. Hot liquids may push lid off jar during blending. To prevent possible burns: Do not fill blender jar beyond the 3-cup (710-ml) level. With the protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on top of lid. Keep exposed skin away from lid. Start blending at lowest speed.
18. Ensure collar on base of blender jar is tight and secure. Injury can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.
19. If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched ON, switch OFF immediately and tighten jar in collar or on blender base.
20. Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.
21. Before plugging cord into wall outlet, turn the control to OFF (O). To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF (O). Then remove plug from wall outlet.
22. Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.
23. Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid.

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only. Use for food or liquids only.

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard:

This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

Wattage/Peak Power Information

The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an Underwriters Laboratory test and is based on available cutting blade assembly and jar combinations that may not be provided with your unit, but are available as replacement parts. This is a measure of input wattage/amperes after 30 seconds of operation. The blender as provided may draw significantly less power.

Peak power is the measure of the motor wattage during the first seconds of operation. This is when a blender requires the most power to crush ice, frozen fruit, etc. This is a better measure of what a blender motor can consume when power is needed most.

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash all parts except blender base in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Wipe blender base with a damp cloth or sponge.

Parts and features

How to use

1. Make sure blender is unplugged. Place blender base on clean, dry surface to keep foreign particles from being pulled up into motor during operation.
2. Then set jar into place on blender base, making sure it is securely seated.
3. Put ingredients in jar and place lid on jar.
4. Plug into outlet. IMPORTANT: Do not operate your blender continuously for long periods exceeding 3 minutes. If you start to smell a burning odor, stop immediately and remove the blender jar. Start and run the blender base ONLY with NO blender jar on the highest speed for 2 minutes. When trying similar recipes in the future, reduce the total amount of ingredients.
5. Before processing food or beverages, ensure that blender lid is secured onto jar and jar is secured onto blender base. Select a LO or HI power button; then push desired speed button. Blender speed increases as buttons are pushed left to right. When using the Pulse button, the blender will only run when the button is held down. Always place one hand on blender lid during operation.
6. ALWAYS turn blender off and wait until blades have stopped rotating before removing jar.
7. Lift jar to remove.
8. NEVER replace jar onto unit while motor is running.

Care and cleaning

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard:

To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.

1. Unplug from outlet.

2. Wipe blender base, control panel, and cord with a damp cloth or sponge. To remove stubborn spots, use a mild, nonabrasive cleanser.

3. DO NOT use the “SANI” setting when washing in the dishwasher. “SANI” cycle temperatures could damage your product. Parts may also be washed with hot, soapy water. Care should be taken when handling the cutting blade assembly as it is very sharp. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not soak.

4. Store blender with lid ajar to prevent container odor.

Blender tips

• To add foods when blender is operating, remove filler-cap from blender lid and add ingredients through the opening.
• For best performance, the minimum amount of liquid needed per recipe is one cup (8 ounces/237 ml). Add more liquid if food is not blending properly.
• If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to sides of the jar, there may not be enough liquid in the jar to blend efficiently
• Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip egg whites, grind raw meat, or extract juices from fruits and vegetables. Do not blend dry ingredients such as grains and/or coffee beans. The blender is not made to perform these tasks.
• Do not store food or liquids in the blender jar
