IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE • FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, fire, electrical shock, or property damage, basic
safety precautions must ALWAYS be followed, including the following
numbered warnings and subsequent instructions.
23 During operation and handling of the
appliance, avoid contact with moving
parts.
24 DO NOT operate the appliance with an
empty pitcher or cup.
25 While blending liquids or ingredients that
are frozen, cold, or room temperature, DO NOT fill pitcher past the MAX LIQUID line.
26 DO NOT microwave any pitcher or
accessories provided with the appliance.
27 Before operation, ensure all utensils are
removed from pitcher and cup. Failure
to remove utensils can cause vessel to
shatter and potentially result in personal
injury and property damage.
28 ALWAYS operate blender with lid and lid
cap firmly in place. The lid cap should be
removed only when adding ingredients and
when using the tamper. NEVER remove
the lid cap while blending hot liquids.
29 Keep hands and utensils out of pitcher
and cup while blending to reduce the risk
of severe injury or damage to the blender.
While the blender is running, the ONLY
utensil that may be used is the included
tamper. When the blender is NOT running,
then a scraper may be used.
30 DO NOT blend hot ingredients or liquids
in the blender cup. Doing so may cause
excessive pressure buildup, resulting in
the risk of the user being burned. Only
the pitcher can be used to blend hot
ingredients.
31 To avoid risk of scalding from spray or
escaping steam, DO NOT blend hot
or warm liquids or ingredients beyond
the MAX HOT LIQUID fill line. Liquids or
ingredients above the MAX HOT LIQUID
fill line need to be at room temperature or
colder for processing. ALWAYS blend hot
ingredients or liquids using the Soup mode.
32 To avoid the risk of scalding, NEVER
operate the appliance without pitcher
lid and lid cap in place while blending
hot liquids. DO NOT use the tamper
while blending hot liquids. Keep hands
and exposed skin away from lid cap
while blending hot ingredients to prevent
possible burns from escaping steam.
Failure to keep the lid cap in place while
blending hot liquids may result in risk of
scalding.
33 Handle the pitcher with care when blending
hot ingredients, as the lid, lid cap, and
sides of pitcher may become hot to touch.
When moving the pitcher, use the handle
to carry. If needed, hold bottom of pitcher
to stabilize.
51- 877-646-5288
ENGLISH
34 If at any time the blender cup becomes
warm to the touch, or steams or vents
while blending, immediately stop blending
ingredients and turn off the unit.
35 DO NOT perform grinding operations
with the blender cups and Pro Extractor
Blades® Assembly.
36 Remove the Pro Extractor Blades
Assembly from the blender cup upon
completion of blending. DO NOT store
ingredients before or after blending them in
the cup with the blade assembly attached.
Some foods may contain active ingredients
or release gases that will expand if left in
a sealed container, resulting in excessive
pressure buildup that can pose a risk of
injury. For ingredient storage in the cup,
use only Spout Lid to cover.
37 NEVER place a blade assembly on the
motor base without it first being attached
to its corresponding container and lid.
38 Flashing light indicates ready to operate.
Avoid any contact with blades or moveable
parts.
39 DO NOT attempt to defeat the interlock
mechanism. Ensure the pitcher and lid are
properly installed before operation.
40 DO NOT expose the pitcher, cup,
blade assemblies, and accessories to
extreme temperature changes. They may
experience damage.
41 NEVER leave the appliance unattended
while in use.
42 If you find unmixed ingredients sticking to
the sides of the pitcher, use the included
tamper, with the lid locked on the pitcher,
to dislodge ingredients when unit is
operating. If not using the tamper, stop
the appliance, remove the lid, and use a
spatula to dislodge ingredients. NEVER
insert your hands into the pitcher, as
you may contact one of the blades and
experience a laceration.
43 DO NOT attempt to remove the pitcher,
pitcher lid, or cup from the motor base
while the blade assembly is still spinning.
Allow the appliance to come to a complete
stop before removing pitcher, pitcher lid,
or cup.
44 If the appliance overheats, a thermal
switch will activate, temporarily disabling
the motor, and the control panel will not
function when modes are pressed. To
reset, unplug the appliance and allow it to
cool for approximately 15 minutes before
using again.
45 The maximum wattage rating for this
appliance is based on the configuration
of the Bottom Blades and pitcher. Other
configurations may draw less power or
current.
46 DO NOT spray the motor base or screen
with water or other liquids.
47 Turn off the appliance and unplug the
motor base before cleaning.

TROUBLESHOOTING
GUIDE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn o
power and unplug unit before troubleshooting.
Motor does not start or blade assembly does not rotate.
• Make sure the pitcher or blender cup is securely placed on motor base. If “JAR” message
appears on control panel, the pitcher or cup is not installed correctly.
• The unit is turned off. Press the power button ( ) to turn on.
• Check that the plug is securely inserted into the electrical outlet.
• Check the fuse or circuit breaker.
• The unit may have overloaded or overheated. The unit will stop and the control panel will not

again.
Food is chopped too fine or is too watery.
• The food has been over-processed. Use PULSE mode for controlled processing.
Food collects on lid or on the sides of the pitcher.
• The mixture is too thick. Add more liquid or use the tamper to help push the ingredients
toward the blades.
You cannot create snow from solid ice.
• DO NOT use ice that has been sitting out or has started to melt. Use ice straight from the
freezer.
• Start with a few pulses and then go to a continuous blending cycle.
• For best results, use the tamper to push the ice down toward the blades.
Motor base won’t stick to counter or tabletop.
• Make sure surface and suction feet are wiped clean. Suction feet will only stick to smooth
surfaces. Suction feet WILL NOT stick on some surfaces such as wood, tile, and
non-polishedfinishes.
• DO NOT attempt to use appliance when the motor base is stuck to a surface that is not
secure (cutting board, platter, plates, etc.)
You get a blinking “JAR” message.
• The container is not installed properly. For your safety, the unit will only be able to be turned
on when it is properly assembled. Please refer to the assembly pages of this instruction
manual for assistance.
Why can’t I run the CLEAN program twice?
