IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

❍Read all instructions. ❍To protect against risk of electrical shock do not immerse cord,

plugs or appliance 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 putting on or taking

off parts, 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. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility or call the appropriate toll-free number on the front of this manual for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this manual.

❍The use of attachments, including canning jars, not

recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

❍Do not use outdoors. ❍Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter. ❍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 jar properly attached.

❍Always operate blender with cover in place. ❍When blending hot liquids, remove center piece of two-piece

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This product is for household use only.

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.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be

provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and

may be used if care is exercised in their use.

c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,

2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and

3) The longer 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 supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

• Cut food into pieces no larger than ¾-inch 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 (0) 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.

Important: Blender should always have lid in place when in use. Caution: Do not place blending jar on base when motor is running.

• Use the pulse (P) button to begin the blending process when preparing beverages that

include ice cubes; this helps to produce a smoother texture.

• The pulse (P) function is helpful when short bursts of power are needed such as when

preparing thick smoothies or milkshakes, chopping nuts or grinding coffee beans.

• It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest speed and then increase to a

higher speed, if necessary.

• To stop blending, press the off (0) button at any time.

When blending hot liquids always let them cool at least 5 minutes before blending. Before beginning to blend, remove the measuring cup lid insert and put it back with the opened side tilted away from you. Cover lid with a cloth to avoid splattering and only use lowest speed (1). Do not blend more than 2½ to 3 cups at a time.

• DO NOT place any of the following in the blender:

o Large pieces of frozen foods o Tough foods such as raw turnips, sweet potatoes and potatoes o Bones o Hard salami, pepperoni and hard sausages o Boiling liquids (cool for 5 minutes before placing in blending jar)

running and drop ingredients through the opening (D).

Important: Do not remove the lid while the blender is running.

10. To remove the jar, grasp the handle and lift straight up. Do not twist the jar.

11. Remove lid to pour.

• The lid cap holds up to 1 oz. liquid and can be used as a

measure and when adding ingredients such as juices, milk, cream and liquor (E).

• When making bread crumbs, chopping nuts or grinding coffee

beans make sure blending jar is completely dry.

• When using pulse (P) function use short bursts. Allow the

blades to stop rotating between pulses. Do not use pulse (P) for more than 2 minutes.

• Several other don’ts:

o Do not operate blender without the lid on the blending jar. o Do not store foods in the blending jar. o Do not overfill the blender. (The blender is more efficient with less rather than

more.)

o Do not use pulse (P) for more than 5 seconds at a time. Release the pulse (P)

button; allow the blender to rest briefly, then continue.

o Do not run blender for longer than 30 seconds when using dry foods and

2 minutes when blending liquids. Scrape down sides on blending jar, if necessary and continue blending.

o Do not use if blender jar is chipped or cracked.

• Tasks not recommended for the blender:

o Whipping cream o Beating egg whites o Mixing dough o Mashing potatoes o Grinding meats o Extracting juice from fruits and vegetables
