Polarized Plug
This appliance is equipped with 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. This is a safety feature. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician for assistance. Do no attempt to modify this plug in any way. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of this polarized plug.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. If it is necessary to use an extension cord:
A. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the
rating of this appliance.
B. It should be positioned such that it does not drape over the counter or tabletop
where it can be pulled on children or tripped over.

5. Insert the measuring cup (1) into the cover (2) and turn clockwise to secure.

9. Uncoil the required length of the power cord.

F

English
5. Add the ingredients to be processed into the glass jar.
6. Put the cover with the measuring cup into the glass jar and press down to secure.
7. The blender has 3 settings. Turn the power switch to the desired setting or press the black button to pulse. Always hold the top of the glass jar while blending.
Speed Setting Usage
0 = Off For turning off the power 1 = Low For light usage with liquids 2 = High For mixing liquids with solid foods Black Button = Pulse For crushing ice and solid foods in short,
powerful bursts
Note: The pulse setting does not permanently engage in the pulse
setting. It will return to the off setting as soon as the button is released. Either press and hold the button in the pulse setting or press repeatedly.
Operate the blender for a maximum of 60 seconds at a time or alternate 60 seconds on, then 60 seconds off to prevent overheating or consequent damage to the blender. For continuous blending action, set the power switch to either the Low or High setting. For short bursts of high speed blending, use the Pulse setting.
When crushing ice alone, add a small amount of water since ice will not crush without some form of liquid. For best results, add 1/2 cup of water for every 1-1/2 cups of ice. Drain any excess water after blending if only ice is required.
8. After using the blender, always move the switch back to the “0” off setting and unplug the appliance from the outlet.
9. To remove the glass jar, simply lift it off the motor base. It is not necessary to rotate the glass jar to remove it.
10. Always clean the jar assembly after each use.

USEFUL TIPS
• Always keep the cover on the jar while blending.
• Always hold the jar while blending.
• Never use any utensils, including spatulas, in the jar while the blender
is operating. Always turn the power switch to the “0” off position first.
• When blending solid or thick liquid ingredients, use the Pulse setting
to prevent blades from becoming stuck.
• If food or ice becomes clumped, turn the blender off and use a rub-
ber spatula to redistribute the ingredients.
• Always place liquid ingredients into the jar first, unless the recipe
specifically states otherwise.
• When crushing ice alone, add a small quantity of water.
• Smaller ice cubes can be crushed faster than larger ice cubes.
• When blending solid foods, always cut them into pieces no larger
than 1” before placing them into the glass jar.
• Blend no more than 1/2 cup of solid foods at a time. This will speed
the blending process and reduce wear on the blades and motor. If too much food is blended at one time, the motor may stall. If this happens, turn the power to the “0” off position and remove a portion of the food. Repeat the blending process.
• If additional foods, ice or liquids need to be added to the jar while
blending, remove the measuring cup from the cover by turning counter-clockwise and add the ingredients from the opening in the cover. Be sure that food is cut into 1” pieces first and ice cubes are added one piece at a time. Wait a few seconds between adding each ice cube so that the blender can properly blend the ice.
• Remember to replace the measuring cup when all ingredients have
been added.
• Be careful when blending hot liquids. Remove the measuring cup
while blending hot liquids to release steam and condensation that would build up in the jar.
• Avoid over-blending. Usually, only a few seconds is needed to blend
the ingredients, not a few minutes.
• Chill the jar in the freezer before blending frozen drinks.
• When removing the jar from the base, be sure that the motor has
stopped completely.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Warning! Never immerse the motor base, power cord and plug in water or

• Remove the glass jar from the motor base and rinse with warm water to remove large food particles.
• Fill the glass jar with 1-1/2 cups of warm, soapy water and cover tightly.

• Replace the jar on the motor base.
• Press the Pulse button for a few seconds and repeat several times.
• Remove the jar from the motor base and rinse well.
• Repeat as necessary.
