IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or
injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. This 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
are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used
by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
4. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord,
plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.
5. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on
or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
6. Avoid contact with moving parts.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged supply cord or
plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped
or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement and
repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service
agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a
hazard. Call the provided customer service number for
information on examination, repair, or adjustment.
8. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not
recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may
cause a risk of injury to persons.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch
hot surfaces, including stove.
11. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a
heated oven.
12. Keep hands and utensils out of the jar and away from the
cutting blade, while blending or chopping food, to reduce the
risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to the blender
(attachments may not be provided with blender). A rubber
spatula may be used but only when blender is not running.
13. Blades are sharp; handle carefully—especially when
assembling, disassembling, or cleaning inside blender jar.
14. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
15. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade
assembly on base without blending jar or personal jar
attached.
16. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.
17. Always operate blender with lid in place.
18. Be careful if hot liquid is poured into blender as it can be
ejected out of appliance due to sudden steaming.
19. When blending hot liquids, open the center vent lid and close
any edge cover opening intended for pouring. To prevent
possible burns: Do not exceed the 3-cup (710-ml) level. Hot
liquids may push off lid during blending; therefore, with the
protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on
top of the lid, keep exposed skin away from the lid, and start
blending at lowest speed.
20. Ensure collar on base of blending jar is tight and secure.
Injury can result if moving blades accidentally become
exposed.

switch OFF ( ) immediately and tighten jar in collar or on
blender base.

22. Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.
23. To disconnect cord, switch to OFF ( ). Then remove plug
from wall outlet.

provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the
risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying
the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not
fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have
an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension
The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an
Underwriters Laboratory test and is based on available cutting
blade assembly, jar combinations, and attachments that may
not be provided with your unit, but are available as replacement
parts. This is a measure of input wattage/amperes after 30
seconds of operation. The blender as provided may draw
significantly less power.

cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care
must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or accidentally tripped over.
If the cutting blade assembly locks and will not move, it will
damage the motor. Do not use. Call the toll-free customer service
number for information.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid.
This can result in damage to the cutting blade assembly, jar,
blender, and possibly result in personal injury.
Peak power is the measure of the motor wattage during the first
seconds of operation. This is when a blender requires the most
power to crush ice, frozen fruit, etc. This is a better measure
of what a blender motor can consume when power is needed
most.

How to Use Easy Clean Function
The Easy Clean function should only be used to rinse the blender
between batches of processing the same food. When the
processing of a single type of food is finished, the blender should be
disassembled and thoroughly cleaned as instructed in “Cleaning Your
Blender.”
To Easy Clean, pour 2 cups (473 ml) warm water in jar and add one
drop liquid dishwashing detergent. Run the blender on EASY CLEAN
for 10 seconds. Discard soapy water. Rinse with clean water.
This function is not a substitute for regular cleaning as instructed in
“Cleaning Your Blender.”

Blender Tips
• ALWAYS place liquid in blender jar first, then remaining
ingredients.
• For best performance, minimum amount of liquid needed per
recipe is 1 cup (8 ounces/237 ml). Add more liquid if food is not
blending properly. The amount of liquid needed will vary based on
other ingredients required for blending.
• If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to sides
of jar, stop blending and try pulsing or add more liquid to blender
jar.
• Do not store food or liquids in blender jar.
Troubleshooting
Blender fails to start.
• Make sure power is on.
• Check to see if unit is securely plugged into an electrical outlet of
• proper voltage and frequency.
• Check to see if fuse for electrical outlet has blown or if a circuit
breaker has tripped.
Ingredients will not mix properly.
• Check to see if enough liquid has been added to ingredients.
Mixture should be fluid and free-running at all times.
• Solid pieces are too large.
• Container is too full. Do not fill past highest (5 cups/1.2 L)
graduation marking.
• Cutting blade assembly blades are not sharp or are damaged.
Inspect container and cutting blade assembly daily.
• Select speed to create a fluid blend.
• Avoid bumping or dropping blender when in operation or at any
time.
• Cutting large whole fruits and vegetables may allow them to blend
more quickly.
• Do not fill blender jar past highest graduation marking.
• If ice or frozen fruit pieces are not blending, stop blender and pulse
a few times.
• Do not allow ice to stand or freeze in jar. Immediately crush ice
after placing in jar.
Blender smells like it is burning.
• Turn off blender and allow unit to cool.
• Although motors are tested during the manufacturing process,
heavy use may cause curing of motor windings. The smell may
quickly dissipate after a few heavy uses.
• If smell continues after additional heavy uses, call our customer
care center.
There is grease around bottom of blender jar or on counter top.
• Monitor problem and source. This may indicate an issue with jar
bearings.
• Call our customer care center if condition persists.
