IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

1. Read all instructions.

2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord,

plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used

by or near children.

4. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on

or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

5. Avoid contact with moving parts.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug,

or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged
in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical
adjustment.

7. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recom-

mended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause
a risk of injury to persons.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch

hot surfaces, including stove.

10. Keep hands and utensils out of blender jar and chopper bowl

while blending to reduce the risk of severe personal injury
and/or damage to blender. A rubber spatula may be used
but must be used only when blender is not running.

11. Blades are sharp; handle carefully – especially when

assembling, disassembling, or cleaning inside blender jar.

12. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.

13. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.

14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade assembly

on base without blender jar or chopper bowl properly attached.

15. Always operate blender with lid in place.

16. When blending hot liquids, open vent opening of lid, and close

any lid openings intended for pouring. If pouring with lid in
place, ensure the hinged cap is securely in place. Hot liquids
may push lid off jar during blending. To prevent possible
burns: Do not fill blender jar beyond the 3-cup (750-ml) level.
With the protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place one
hand on top of lid. Keep exposed skin away from lid. Start
blending at lowest speed.

17. Ensure collar on base of blender jar is tight and secure. Injury

can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.

18. If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched

ON, switch OFF immediately and tighten jar in collar or on
blender base.

19. Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.

20. To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF (O). Then remove

plug from wall outlet.

21. Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.

22. Be certain the lid is securely in position before operating

appliance.

23. Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.

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

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only. Use for food
or liquids only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized

plug (one wide blade) that reduces 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
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.

The maximum (max.) rating marked on the blender is based
on processing a food load, as recommended in this manual, that
draws the greatest load. Blending or processing some foods may
draw less power.

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.

BEFORE FIRST USE: After unpacking blender, wash everything
except blender base in hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Wipe
blender base with a damp cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE
BASE IN WATER. Care should be taken when handling cutting
blade assembly as it is very sharp.

DO NOT use the “SANI” setting
when washing in the dishwasher.
“SANI” cycle temperatures could
damage your product. Parts may
also be washed with hot, soapy
water. Care should be taken
when handling the cutting blade
assembly as it is very sharp.
Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do
not soak.

Wipe blender base, control panel,
and cord with a damp cloth or
sponge. To remove stubborn
spots, use a mild, nonabrasive
cleanser.

EASY CLEAN

To Easy Clean, pour 2 cups (500 ml) warm water in jar and add 1 drop liquid dishwashing detergent. Run the blender on EASYCLEAN for

This function is not a substitute for regular cleaning as instructed in “Cleaning Your Blender.” This function should never be used when
blending any mixture containing eggs, milk, or any other dairy products, meats, or seafood.

Blender Tips

• To add foods when blender is operating, open hinged pouring cap

and add ingredients through the opening.

• For best performance, the minimum amount of liquid needed per

recipe is one cup (8 ounces/250 ml). Add more liquid if food is not
blending properly.

• If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to

sides of the jar, there may not be enough liquid in the jar to blend
efficiently.

• Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip egg whites,
grind raw meat, or extract juices from fruits and vegetables.

• Do not store food or liquids in the blender jar.

• Avoid bumping or dropping the blender when in operation or
at any time.
