OSTER’S SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR OSTER.
• Ensure fingers are kept well away from the
blades when in use.
• Do not blend warm/hot ingredients. Always
cool ingredients to room temperature before
processing.
• Always operate on a flat surface.
• Take care when removing the jar or during fitting
and removal of blade system, as blades are
extremely sharp.
• Switch off the appliance and disconnect
from supply before changing accessories or
approaching parts that move in use.
Oster is very safety conscious when designing
and manufacturing consumer products, but it is
essential that the product user also exercise care
when using an electrical appliance. Listed below
are precautions which are essential for the safe
use of an electrical appliance:
• Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove by
grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug when
the appliance is not in use and before cleaning.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked and
tested by a qualified technician or service
person.
• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on the
appliance.
• 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 have
been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
• The temperature of accessible surfaces may be
high when the appliance is operating.
• Never leave an appliance unattended while
in use.
• Do not use an appliance for any purpose other
than its intended use.
• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas
flame, electric element or on a heated oven.
• Do not place on top of any other appliance.
• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang
over the edge of a table or bench top or touch
any hot surface.
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with
a damaged cord or after the appliance has
been damaged in any manner. If damage is
suspected, return the appliance to the nearest
Oster Appointed Service Centre for examination,
repair or adjustment.
• For additional protection, Oster recommend
the use of a residual current device (RCD) with
a tripping current not exceeding 30mA in the
electrical circuit supplying power to
your appliances.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or any
other liquid unless recommended.
• Appliances are not intended to be operated by
means of an external timer or separate remote
control system.
• This appliance is intended to be used in
household and similar applications such as: staff
kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working
environments; farm houses; by clients in hotels,
motels and other residential type environments;
bed and breakfast type environments.

Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.

Cover
The cover for your OSTERTM Blender
consists of two parts, the plastic feeder
cap (1) and the cover (2).
The cover is self-sealing and is resistant
to absorption of odors and stains.
The feeder cap is removable for use as a
measuring cup and provides an opening
for the addition of other ingredients.
Container
The jar (3) for the Blender is graduated
for easy measurement and is constructed
from heat and cold resistant material. The
convenient handle and pouring lip permit
easy removal of liquid mixtures while
thicker mixtures are more easily removed
through the bottom opening.
Threaded Bottom Cap
Threaded Bottom Cap (4) with Ice Crush
Blade pulverizes ice for smooth frozen
drinks.
Motor and Motor Base
The powerful multi-speed motor is the
heart of the appliance and is designed
just for this unit. It is completely enclosed
within the housing (5). The motor uses a
“free-floating” feature to reduce noise
and wear. This allows the square post
which protrudes from the motor base
to move slightly from side to side. The
powerful food processing motor can be
overloaded. To avoid this possibility,
closely follow the instructions in this book.
Speed Control
This blender has 3 speed settings: Low
(I)-Med (II)-High (III). Operate at High
on toughest ingredients and achieve the
finest result.
NOTE: DO NOT operate blender at any
setting continuously for more than 3
minutes.

ASSEMBLING YOUR BLENDER
A. To tighten container bottom, put
assembled container securely into motor
base ring with handle and lug in front of
the right stop.
B. Using the container handle, turn
container to the left as far as possible.
This insures that the container bottom
is tightened properly. Remove container
from motor base and mount.
C. To operate Blender, place assembled
container in motor base ring with
container lug against at side of the
motor base stop. If container lug
does not rest against at side of right
stop, remove container assembly
and place against at side of left stop.
Seat container rmly and operate.
D. To remove container, lift straight up.
(If it is not easily removed, rock gently
and lift up, do not twist). If container
bottom cannot be loosened by hand,
place assembled container into motor
base ring with handle in front of left side
stop. Using handle, turn container to
right until container bottom loosens.
Do not attempt to place the container on or
attempt to remove it from the motor base
while the motor is running.
ALWAYS HOLD CONTAINER WITH ONE
HAND WHILE PROCESSING!

HOW YOUR OSTERTM BLENDER WORKS
Your OSTERTM Blender is a multi-speed appliance which operates on a wide range
of speeds from very slow to very fast. This range of speeds makes food preparation
easy, interesting and fast.
In addition, your OSTER
TM
Blender has two distinct methods of operation:
1. CONTINUOUS run for blending, liquefying and fine chopping.
2. CONTROLLED CYCLE BLENDING, used for chopping pieces of food, such as
vegetables, nuts or cheeses. There are several different ways of operating the
CONTROLLED CYCLE / BLENDING CYCLE feature, but all involve turning the
motor on and off intermittently.
When on, food is chopped and tossed away from the blades. When off, the food is
distributed around the blades to make processing more uniform.
NOTE: A cycle consists of operating the blender for about two seconds and then
allowing the blades to coast to a stop.
CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR OSTER
TM
BLENDER
Blender container parts are corrosion resistant, sanitary and easily cleaned. Before
first use and after every use, separate container parts by removing the threaded
bottom cap from the jar, and put the jar, cover, feeder cap, and threaded bottom cap
to clean thoroughly in warm, soapy water then rinse and dry well. Care shall be taken
when handling the sharp cutting blades during cleaning. After cleaning, assemble the
threaded bottom cap on jar properly.
Periodically check all parts before re-assembly. If the processing blades are stuck
or difficult to turn, DO NOT USE BLENDER. Check by carefully turning the blades
in an anti-clockwise direction (opposite edges are sharp). Blades should turn freely.
If the container is chipped or cracked, DO NOT USE BLENDER. Further use could
result in the container breaking during use. Use only OSTER
TM
Blender recommended
replacement parts available at an Authorised Service Center.
USE OF DAMAGED OR NON‑RECOMMENDED PARTS COULD RESULT
IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE BLENDER.
See Page 4 for proper container assembly and user instructions.
NEVER IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER. The housing can be cleaned
with a damp cloth (unplug first). The motor is permanently lubricated and does
not require any additional lubrication. ANY SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED
BY AN AUTHORISED SERVICE FACILITY.
