OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using your Omega Blender for the rst time, remove any packaging material
and promotional labels. Ensure the appliance is switched off at the power outlet and
the power cord is unplugged. Wash the lid, inner lid, Eastman Tritan™ Container and
blade assembly in warm, soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do
not place parts in the dishwasher (with the exception of the container, lid and inner
lid). The container lid and inner lid may be washed in the dishwasher. Ensure the blade
assembly has been removed from the container before placing the blender into the
dishwasher. The motor base can be wiped with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
ASSEMBLING THE BLENDER
1. To assemble the container, place the silicon seal onto the blade assembly.
2. Insert the blade assembly into the container base.
3. Place the motor base on a at, dry surface. Ensure that the motor base is switched
off and the power cord is unplugged. Turn the blender container upright and insert
on to the motor base.
4. Plug the power cord into a power outlet. The handle of the container can be
positioned to the left or right hand side of the appliance.
DISASSEMBLING THE BLENDER
1. Always ensure your Omega Blender is switched off. Then unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the container from the motor base by grasping the handle and lifting the
container in an upward direction. Remove the blade assembly by upturning the
container and twisting the blade removal clockwise, then lift upwards and away
from the base of the blender.
3. Remove the silicon seal from the blade assembly.
AUTOMATIC OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Your Omega motor is designed to protect itself from overheating. If the motor shuts OFF,
turn OFF the power switch for up to 45 minutes to reset. To reduce reset time unplug the
machine, remove the container and blow air into the center section. Press the reset button
on bottom of blender.
POWERCORD
Your machine is equipped with a long power cord.
Store the unused portion neatly underneath.
BOTTOM VIEW/CORD WRAP
Plastic cord retainers hold the cord securely. There is no
need to unscrew the cord retainers to let out more cord.
They are exible and return to position after the cord lifted out.

USING YOUR OMEGA BLENDER
1. To turn the Omega blender on, switch to ON position.
NOTE: When using your Omega Blender for the rst time, you may notice an odor
coming from the motor. This is normal and will dissipate with use.
2. Add food or liquid into the container ensuring not to exceed the ‘MAX’ mark.
3. Place the blender lid rmly into position on the top of the container. If not already
in place, insert the clear inner lid into the blender lid and turn clockwise or
counterclockwise to lock into position.
4. Turn your blender ON, or select a speed, depending on model. The blender will start
to operate. The speed can be changed at any time during the blending process.
5. To stop blending at any time, turn switch to OFF position or switch ‘OFF’.
6. At the end of use, always ensure your Omega Blender is turned off by pressing or
switching ‘OFF’. Then unplug the cord. Ensure the motor and blades have completely
stopped before attempting to move. Disassemble, clean, and store the appliance.
NOTE: During the blending process, ingredients may stick to the sides of the container.
To push the food back onto the blades, switch ‘OFF’ and remove the power cord.
Remove the lid and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the container.
Replace the lid before blending.
NOTE: If any moisture or liquid appears on top of the motor base during blending,
switch ‘OFF’. Remove the container. Wipe the motor base immediately with a dry cloth
or paper towelling. Check that the container is correctly assembled.
HOW TO USE THE PLUNGER/SPATULA
The Plunger/Spatula helps mix very thick mixtures. While the machine is running, and
only through the lid plug opening, use the Plunger/Spatula to push ingredients into the
blades. We suggest using when making frozen ice creams and nut butters, or to purée
fruits and vegetables.
• The round disk (near the top of the Plunger/Spatula) and lid prevents the Plunger/
Spatula from hitting the blades when the lid is secured properly in the locked position.
• The container should not be more than two-thirds full when the Plunger/Spatula is
used during blending.
• Do not use the Plunger / Spatula for more than 30 consecutive seconds
(to avoid overheating).
• If the food does not circulate, the blender may have a trapped air bubble.
Carefully remove the inner lid while making sure the main lid stays rmly in place
Release the air bubble by inserting the Plunger / Spatula through the inner lid opening.
• Hold the Plunger/Spatula straight down. If this does not help the ingredients
circulate, point the Plunger / Spatula toward the side or corner of the container.

EASY CLEANING & CARING TIPS
CLEANING
Do not put the container assembly & blender base assembly in the dishwasher.
1. Before rst use and after every use, separate container parts from the base.
2. Add cleaning solution to the container. Use water (less than 115°F/46°C) and a
non-sudsing detergent.
3. Scrub and ush out the container interior lid and feeder cap to remove food residue.
4. Empty container.
5. Fill container 1/4 full with fresh washing solution and place it on the base.
6. Replace the lid on the container and run the blender on high speed for 2 minutes.
7. Repeat step 5 using clean rinse water.
8. Wipe down the container, feeder cap, and lid with a soft cloth or sponge.
9. Wipe the exterior of the base with a damp cloth or sponge then dry thoroughly.
The base contains electrical components: do not immerse, use a high-pressure
washer, or use a dishwasher to clean the base.
10. Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.
CARING TIPS
To care for your blender, please read the tips as follows:
1. Periodically check all parts before reassembly, as use of damaged or
non-recommended parts could result in a severe personal injury and/or damage to
the blender.
2. Blades: If the processing blades are stuck or difcult to turn, DO NOT USE BLENDER.
Unplug the blender. Check the blades by carefully turning in a counterclockwise
direction, where the opposite edges are sharp. Blades should turn freely.
3. Container: If the Eastman Tritan™ Container is cracked, DO NOT USE BLENDER, further
use could result in the container breakage during use.
4. Blender Base: Never immerse the blender base in water. Unplug unit. The housing
can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
5. Motor: The motor is permanently lubricated and does not require any additional
lubrication.
ADAPTERS
1
2
6
On most models, the power cord comes
equipped with a three-prong (grounding)
plug which connects to a standard
three-prong wall outlet (Figure 1).
Please use approved 2 prong adapters
(Figure 2) when a ground is not available.
Do not cut or remove the round grounding
prong from the power cord.
ADDITIONAL USES
• Use for drinks or cocktail making, emulsions such as mayonnaise, dressings, marinades
and foods that require mixing until just combined, such as batters, also for pureeing
soups and aerating liquids.
• Use to blend fruits, ice cream and yogurts into thick smoothies, whips and milkshakes.
• Use the Pulse function for foods that only require short bursts of power such as
chopping nuts and crushing ice.
• Use the Pulse function with short bursts of power, when blending drinks containing ice
cubes or frozen fruit.
• Ensure all foods are cut into cubes (approx. 1 inch square) where appropriate to
achieve an even result.
• Do not put more than 2 cups of warm ingredients into the Omega Blender before
blending commences. After the blending process has begun and the blades are
turning you may slowly add another 1½ cups of ingredients through the opening in
the lid if desired.
• Thick mixtures puree more efciently if the Omega Blender is ¼ to ½ full.
•
When using several ingredients, place liquid ingredients in the container before solid
ingredients, unless specied in the recipe. When blending thick or dry mixtures it may be
necessary to use the plunger/spatula to scrape down the sides of the container. Do not
use metal utensils as they may damage the blades or blender.
