HOW TO USE
This product is for household use only.
GETTING STARTED

the power plug.
• Remove and save literature.
• Please visit www.prodprotect.com/blackanddecker to register your
warranty.
• Wash all removable parts as instructed in CARE AND CLEANING
section of this manual.
USING YOUR BLENDER
Important: Appliance should always have lid in place when in use.
Caution: Do not place blender jar onto base when motor is running.
1. Uncoil power cord from under the base
2. Place motor base on a flat stable surface
3. Place one-piece jar on motor base
4. Make sure blender is OFF and place ingredients to be blended into jar. For
best results and the most efficient blend, place ingredients in the jar in
the following order:
a. Liquids
b. Powders
c. Soft foods
d. Hard foods
e. Ice cubes last
Tip: When using frozen fruits it is not necessary to also add ice.
5. Place the lid on the jar, making sure the lid cap is closed.
6. Plug power cord into outlet. Press ON/OFF button. LED should turn a
solid color to signify the blender is in standby mode. After 2 minutes the
unit will automatically power off if no buttons are pressed.
Note: When in use, do not leave blender unattended. When using hard foods,
such as ice or cheese, keep one hand on the lid to keep blender in place.
7. Select the speed that best suits your desired task. (See SPEED CHART)
Important: Do not hold speed button. Simply press the desired speed,
watch, and press ON/OFF when the desired consistency is achieved.
Holding the button for longer than 30 seconds will cause the blender to shut
off. Unit must be shut off to reset.
8. When blending thick mixtures, such as smoothies and milkshakes, use
the PULSE/Ice Crush button for several seconds, then release. Repeat to
mix ingredients and then run continuously until food has reached desired
4
consistency. Releasing pulse stops the blending and the unit returns to
STANDBY. You may use a spatula or utensil to move ingredients and thick
mixtures around in the blender jar, but only after stopping the blender. Turn
the blender OFF before using a utensil.
9. To add ingredients while the blender is running, open the lid cap and drop
ingredients through the opening.
Important: Do not remove the lid while the blender is running.
10. When finished, press ON/OFF to stop blending. Make sure blades have
completely stopped before attempting to remove the blending jar from
the base (refer to TROUBLESHOOTING for any issues).
11. Press ON/OFF to power off and unplug the blender.
12. To remove the jar, grasp the handle and lift up.
13. Remove lid to pour.
Note: Unit will auto shutoff after 2 minutes without use.
14. Always unplug the appliance when not in use.
USING THE PREPROGRAMMED FUNCTIONS
• Fill the blender jar with the desired ingredients.
• Place the lid on the jar.
• Place the jar on the base.
• Press desired preprogrammed button. The blender will automatically mix
and blend the following recipes with the press of a button:
- Smoothie: 35 seconds to blend fruits and vegetables to a smooth
consistency.
- Icy drinks: Perfect for classic icy drinks like Margaritas with small ice
crystals.
- Shake/Mix: Create thick, smooth and creamy frozen treats or use to
combine other ingredients together.
BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
• 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 ON/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 or blending dry goods, make sure blending
jar and blade assembly are completely dry.
• The PULSE/ICE CRUSH function is helpful when short bursts of power
are needed, such as when preparing thick smoothies or milkshakes. Do
not use pulse for more than 10 seconds at a time. Release the PULSE/ICE
CRUSH button regularly, allow the blender to rest briefly, then continue.
• Do not run blender for longer than 1 ½ minutes at a time.
5
• Do not use if blender jar is chipped or cracked.
• 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 ON/OFF button.
• Always operate the blender with the lid on the jar.
• Do not store foods in the blending jar.
• Do not overfill the blender (the blender is more efficient with less rather
than more).

• Large pieces of frozen foods
• Tough foods such as raw turnips, sweet potatoes and potatoes
• Bones
• Hard salami, pepperoni
