IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.
When using electrical appliances, always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, including the following:
• Read all instructions.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do
not put blender base, cord or plug in water or
other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use, before
assembly/disassembly and before cleaning.
• 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 Customer Service
for examination, repair or electrical or
mechanical adjustment by calling the
appropriate toll-free number listed in this
manual. This appliance has important
markings on the plug blade. The attachment
plug or entire cordset (if plug is molded
onto cord) is not suitable for replacement. If
damaged, the appliance must be replaced.
• The use of attachments, including canning
jars, not recommended or sold by the
appliance manufacturer may cause a risk of
injury to persons.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over the edge of table or
counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Keep hands and utensils out of container
while blending to reduce the risk of severe
injury to persons or damage to the blender. A
scraper may be used but must be used only
when the blender is not running.
• Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
• To reduce the risk of injury, never place
cutter assembly blades on base without the
jar properly attached.
• Always operate blender with cover in place.
• Do not blend hot liquids.
• Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
• 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 have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric
burner or in a heated oven.
• Do not operate with damaged blades.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This product is for household use only.
POLARIZED PLUG
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.
TAM PER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-
resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no userserviceable 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.
Note: If the power cord is damaged, please call our
Customer Service line listed in these instructions.

BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
• Cut food into pieces no larger than 3⁄4" for use in the blender.
• When preparing foods that have several different kinds of ingredients,
always add liquid ingredients first when using the full size jar and last
when using the single serve jar.
• 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.
• 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).
DO NOT USE BLENDER TO BLEND:
• Hot Liquids
• Large pieces of frozen foods
• Tough foods such as raw turnips, sweet potatoes and potatoes
• Bones
• Hard salami, pepperoni
• Boiling liquids (cool for 5 minutes before place in blending jar)
• Egg whites
• Dough
• Meats
