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.
TAM PER-R ESISTANT 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 user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
A short power-supply cord is provided to
1)
reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• 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. When blending hot liquids, removed the lid cap from the lid. Close any edge cover openings intended for pouring.
• Do not blend more than 20 oz. (600mL) of hot liquids.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• The 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.
2) Longer detachable power cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3) If a long detachable power-supply cord or 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 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 unintentionally.
Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed in these instructions.

HOW TO USE
This product is for household use only.
GETTING STARTED
• Remove all packing material, any stickers, and the plastic band around the power plug.
• Remove and save literature.
• Please visit www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your warranty.
• Wash all removable parts as instructed in CARE AND CLEANING section of this manual.
USING YOUR XL BLAST DRINK MACHINE
1. Make sure your drink machine is OFF.
2. Place ingredients to be blended into jar. For best results, use ice that has been out of the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
Tip: Place ingredients in the following order to get the most out of your blender:
• Liquid
• Powders
• Soft foods (like bananas or cucumbers)
• Hard foods (such as frozen fruit)
• Ice cubes
3. Use the shot glass/measuring cup for convenient and accurate recipe measurement. Shot glass is 2 oz and is marked for 1 oz, 1.5oz and 2oz. Check out the included recipe book for fun frozen blends and cocktails using the shot glass and auto functions.
NOTE: The XL Blast Drink Machine makes a suggested 6-7 blended drinks (about 10-12oz each)
4. Place lid on jar; make sure shot glass is in place. Shot glass is secure when it slides all the way into the lid and is twisted clockwise.
5. Plug power cord into outlet. Press on/off button. LED should turn a solid color to signify the blender is in standby mode. After 60 seconds the unit will automatically power off if no buttons are pressed. The LED will blink slowly when the blender is in use.
NOTE: When in use, do not leave blender unattended. When processing hard foods, such as ice or cheese, keep one hand on the lid to keep blender in place.
6. Select the speed or auto function that works best for your desired outcome. See auto functions and speed chart for drink and auto function correlations.
Important: Do not hold speed button, simply press the desired speed, watch, and press Pulse/Stop when
4
the desired consistency is achieved. Holding the button for longer than 30 seconds will cause an error. Unit must be unplugged to reset.
7. For blending tasks – or when blending thick mixtures – use the PULSE button for several seconds, then release. Repeat until food has desired consistency. Releasing pulse stops the blending and the unit returns to standby.
8. Open the lid to add ingredients or add them through the shot glass opening. Place shot glass back in lid opening after adding ingredients. Do not use the pour spout to add ingredients
Important: Do not remove the lid while the blender is running.
9. When finished press STOP 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).
10. To remove the jar, grasp the handle and lift up.
11. Press On/Off to power off. Unit will auto shutoff after 60 seconds without use.
12. Always unplug the appliance when not in use.
TO SERVE
• Lift and remove the blending jar
• Pop open pour tab
• Pour and Enjoy!
Keep drinks colder longer with the insulated Chill Sleeve
• Insert the blending jar into the Chill Sleeve from the top
• Pull up on the Chill Sleeve until it fits securely around the jar. There are notches for the handle and spout. The measurements on the side of the jar should be visible through the opening.
• Now chill! Enjoy cool drinks for hours.
• To clean your Chill Sleeve, remove the blender from the sleeve and wash with warm soapy water. Hang to dry.
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
• For a thicker blended drink, gradually add more ice and use less liquid ingredients.
• For a thinner blended drink, blend for longer and gradually add more liquid mixer to the jar.
• Cut food and solid ingredients into pieces no larger than ¾” for use in the blender.
• For best results when making blended cocktails, use ice that has been out of the freezer between 10 and 15 minutes.
• Use ¾ cup of ice per serving, crushed .
• Do not fill blender more than 2/3 full with liquids.
• Layer ingredients starting with liquids on the bottom, followed by fruit and ending with ice.
• When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar or the mixture is very thick, turn the 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.
5
• Serve drinks in chilled or frozen glasses to slow down the melting process.
• Start on low/slow speed and work your way up to the highest cycle.
• Blending for too long makes drinks runny and thin.
• When making beverages that include alcohol, please drink responsibly.
• When making bread, cookie, cereal or cracker crumbs, make sure blending jar is completely dry.
• The PULSE function is helpful when short bursts of power are needed, such as when preparing thick smoothies or milkshakes. Allow the blades to stop rotating between pulses. Do not use PULSE for more than 30 seconds continuously.
• To stop blending at any time, press the START/STOP button.
