IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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

1. Read all instructions.

2. To protect against risk of electrical

shock, do not immerse blender, its cord or plug in water or other liquid.

3. This appliance should not be used

by children and care should be taken when used near children.

4. Unplug from outlet when not in

use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

5. Do not operate any appliance with a

damaged cord or plug, or after appliance malfunctions, or after the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Call Customer Service (see warranty) to return for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

6. The use of accessory attachments

not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock or personal injury.

7. Do not use outdoors.

8. Do not let cord hang over the edge

of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces including the stove.

9. Keep hands and utensils out of

container while blending to prevent the possibility of severe injury to persons or damage to the unit. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the unit is not running.

10. Do not use appliance for other than

intended use.

11. When mixing liquids, especially hot

liquids, use a tall container or make small quantities at a time to reduce spillage.

12. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

13. Avoid contact with moving parts.

14. Keep hands and utensils away from

the chopper cutting blade while chopping food to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the food chopper. A scraper may be used but only when the food chopper is not running.

15. Be certain food chopper cover is

securely locked in place before operating appliance. Do not attempt to remove cover until blade has stopped rotating.

16. Check food chopper bowl for

presence of foreign objects before using.

17. To reduce the risk of injury, never

place chopper attachment cutting blade on base without first putting bowl properly in place. Always place the motor housing on the chopper attachment after the cover is in place on the bowl. Remove the motor housing from the chopper attachment before removing the cover from the bowl.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

1. Plug power cord into 120 volt AC

outlet.

2. Place blade-end of unit directly into

bottom of a tall plastic container holding ingredients to be blended.

3. Your blender has LO and HI speeds for quick blending. Press the LO or HI switch for continuous blending. Blending action stops when switch is released. NOTE: During use, it is normal for a suction to be created at

the bottom of the container.

4. For a short “burst” of blending, quickly push and release the LO or

HI switch.

5. After blending, unplug unit. CAUTION: Do not use blender in

saucepan directly on stovetop. Remove pan from heat before blending. To avoid splatter, never lift blender out of hot ingredients while motor is on (see “Tips”, next page).

1. Make sure the unit is unplugged.

2. Twisting the shaft to the right until

the motor housing and the blender separate.

Tips

• For thorough blending, add liquid portion of recipe last (such as milk to ice cream for a milk shake). Exception: When blending a powdered mix with a liquid, add liquid first and then powder (such as milk for a diet drink or water for a soup mix).

• When processing bread, cracker and cookie crumbs or chopping nuts, use a heavyweight food-safe plastic bag or covered container (see page 4).

• Cut all solids – cooked meats, vegetables and fruit – into approximately 1-inch pieces before blending.

• Remember: The blender performs its tasks in seconds – not minutes. Stop blender and check the consistency before contents become too fine or overblended.

• Do not overload the motor with extra-heavy loads such as stiff dough, cream cheese dips or butter.

• If blending action in container should stop during processing before mixture is smooth, unplug unit and remove ingredients from blade with rubber spatula. Plug in unit to complete blending.

• It may be necessary to stop blending action and remove blade-end from ingredients and reinsert several times before mixture becomes smooth.

• To make beverages icy cold, add one ice cube at a time (up to 6) to an already-blended mixture. Raise and lower blender in a steady motion until ice is crushed. NOTE: Your blender is not designed to crush larger quantities of ice.

• For fluffy shakes, aerate upper part of mixture by raising blender from bottom of container.

Your Blender Won’t:

• Whip egg whites or skim milk stiff.

• Mash freshly boiled potatoes.

• Grind raw meat, coffee beans, nuts or whole spices.

• Extract juices from fruits or vegetables.

• Chop fruits or vegetables without the chopper attachment.

• Grate cheese or chocolate.

Splatter-Free Blending Tips:

1. Avoid lifting unit out of ingredients

while motor is on.

2. To prevent spillage: fill a container

about two-thirds full. Suggested containers: use a tall plastic cup for individual servings of drinks or shakes. For larger blending, use mixing bowl or measuring cup with a 2-cup capacity or larger.

3. When processing dry ingredients,
