and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the
power cord.
• Avoid contacting moving parts.
• Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in
any manner. Contact the consumer service
number listed in this manual. This appliance
has important markings on the plug blade.
The attachment plug or entire cordset (if

• Do not let the plug or cord hang over the edge
of table or counter.

SAFETY FEATURES
POLARIZED PLUG (120V models only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a
tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal

or electric shock, do not attempt to remove
the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside. Repair should be done only by
authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
1) A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2) Extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised in their use.
3) If an extension cord is used,
a) The marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance,
b) If the appliance is of the grounded
type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
c) The cord should be arranged so that it
will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
Note: If the power cord is damaged, please
contact the warranty department listed in these
instructions.

BLENDING TIPS AND TRICKS
• Cut food into pieces no larger than ¾” for use in the blender.
• When preparing foods that have several different kinds of ingredients,
always add liquid ingredients first.
• When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar or the mixture is
very thick, press the OFF button to turn appliance off. Remove the lid
and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the jar and to
redistribute the food, pushing food toward the blades. Replace the lid
and continue blending.
• When making bread crumbs make sure blender jar is completely dry.
• When using PULSE function; use short bursts. Allow the blades to stop
rotating between pulses. Do not use PULSE for more than 2 minutes.
• Use the High Pulse button when preparing beverages that include ice
cubes or anything frozen; this helps to produce a smoother texture.
• It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest speed and then
increase to a higher speed, if necessary.
• To stop blending at any time, press the OFF button.
• When blending hot ingredients, open the ingredient slot. Cover lid with
a cloth to avoid splattering and only use the lowest speed. Do not blend
more than 2 ½ to 3 cups at a time.
• Do not store foods in the blending jar.
• Do not overfill the blender (the blender is more efficient with less rather
than more).
• Do not run blender for longer than 1 ½ minutes at a time. Scrape down
sides of blending jar, if necessary, and continue blending.
• Do not use if blending jar is chipped or cracked.
• It is not recommended to use your blender to beat egg whites, mix
dough, mash potatoes, or grind meats.
