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.

21. If the jar should twist or rotate when motor is switched ON,

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.
