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

❑

The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

❑

Do not use outdoors.

❑

Do not let the plug or cord hang over the 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 the jar properly attached.

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

The cord of this appliance was selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in or tripping over a longer cord. If more length is needed, use an extension cord rated no less than 15-amperes. (For 220 volts rated products, use an extension cord rated no less than 6-amperes). When using an extension cord, do not let it drape over the working area or dangle where someone could accidentally trip over it. Handle cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it at outlet and appliance connections.

TAMPER-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 user-serviceable parts

inside. Repair should be done only

by authorized service personnel.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.

BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

• Cut food into pieces no larger than 3/4-inch for use in the blender.

• When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar, or the mixture is very thick, press the OFF/PULSE 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.

• Appliance should always have cover in place when in

use.

• Do not place blender jar on base when motor is running.

• The lid cap holds 1/3 cup liquid and can be used when adding ingredients such as juices, milk, cream and liquor (E).

• When making bread crumbs, chopping nuts or grinding coffee beans, make sure blender jar is completely dry.

• When using the PULSE function, use short bursts. Allow the blades to stop rotating between pulses. Do not use PULSE for more than 2 minutes.

• Use the PULSE button when preparing beverages that include ice cubes; 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.

This symbol is placed next to information that requires your special attention.

• When blending hot ingredients always open the lid cap and replace it ajar with the opened side away from you (F). Cover lid with a cloth to avoid splattering and only use speed 1. Do not blend more than 21⁄2 to 3 cups at a time.

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

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 placing in blender jar.)

• Tasks not recommended for the blender:

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