GROUNDED PLUG

To reduce the risk of electric shock this appliance has a grounded plug
(2 blades and 1 pin). If the plug does not fit fully into the electrical outlet
contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way or use
an adaptor.

DESCRIPTION & ASSEMBLY OF PARTS

1. Filler Cap - Insert Cap into Lid by aligning tabs and slots. Turn
clockwise to lock. Turn counter-clockwise to remove.

2. Lid – Push Lid onto Jar until upper Lid ledge is flush with upper lip
of Jar. Ensure that the Lid is securely positioned before operating
the Blender. Extra care must be taken especially when handling hot
liquids.

3. Jar – 2 Litre/Quart Jar made from durable BPA free Triton with Cup
and milliliter markings. Place Jar on Centering Platform, ensuring
that it is well seated.

4. Blades – 8 stainless steel blades provide multi-purpose and
consistent blending.

5. Centering Platform –Pad which holds the Jar in place on the Blender
Base. It can be removed for cleaning but must be repositioned
before using the Blender.

6. Locking Nut – Fastens Blades securely to Jar.

7. Drive Socket – Hardened metal socket where Jar connects with
Motor Base to turn the Blades

8. Blender Base – Powerful motor housed in a durable plastic container
that contains the control panel.

9. On/Off Switch – The Blender is off when the Switch is in the down
position (O). With the Speed Control turned to the lowest setting
and the Jar/Lid properly installed, toggle the ON/OFF Switch up to

the (I) position to operate the Blender.

3

10. Pulse Switch – With the Jar/Lid properly installed, press down
on this Switch to operate the Blender momentarily at the highest
speed. The Blender will run at this speed as long as the Pulse Switch
is held down. The Pulse function can be used when the ON/OFF
Switch is in either the ‘I’ or ‘O’ position. The Blender will return to its
previous speed or stop when the Pulse Switch is released.

11. Variable Speed Control – Control the rotational speed of the Blades
by turning the Speed Control, clockwise to increase and counter
clockwise to decrease.

12. Power Cord – Grounded (3 prong) 120 volt cord

13. Feet – 4 rubber anti-slip feet

14. Tamper – Designed specifically for this Blender, the Tamper will help
to safely move blocked ingredients without contacting the Blades.
It is intended to be used only when the Lid is in position and food
stops circulating in the Jar. Remove the Cap and Insert the Tamper
up to the stopper. Hold the Jar handle with one hand and with the
other move the Tamper in both a circular and up/down motion to
unblock the contents of the Jar.

15. Cord Wrap Retainer - flexible Cord Wrap Retainers hold the excess
power cord in position. Unwind the Power Cord to the desired
length leaving the unused portion stored under the Blender Base.

16. Overload Reset Button – To protect the motor of your Blender from
overheating during exceptional situations, the Blender will automati­ cally shut off. If this happens return the ON/OFF Switch to Off ‘O’
position, remove the Jar and wait for the motor to cool. After
approximately 5 - 20 minutes the Blender will reset automatically. If
not, press this Button under the Blender Base.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Read all instructions carefully and keep them for future reference.

2. Remove all packaging.

3. Place Jar on Blender Base and wash the Jar by following the
directions in the Care and Cleaning Section. Wash the Lid, Cap and
Tamper in warm soapy water.
WARNING: Use extreme caution when handling the Jar, the Blades

are very sharp.

4. Rinse, dry and reassemble.

5. Wipe the Blender Base with a damp cloth.
DO NOT immerse the Blender Base in water or any other liquid.

DO NOT use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners on any part of
the appliance.

GENERAL USE

1. Place the Blender on a clean, flat, dry and level surface.

2. NEVER run the Blender when the Jar is empty.

3. Add ingredients to Jar and push Lid securely in place before
positioning on Blender Base. Unless instructed otherwise, load first
with wet ingredients and then dry ingredients. Always add ice and
larger, harder ingredients last. Make sure that the Cap is locked in
position by turning it clockwise in the Lid.

WARNING: When adding warm liquids take care to prevent
splashing and allow the liquid to stand for a few minutes with Lid
off to permit steam to escape.

4. While the Blender is off, place the Jar securely on the Blender Base.

5. Plug into a 120V AC grounded wall outlet.
NEVER attempt to set the Jar on or remove it from the Blender

Base while the motor is running.
NEVER operate the Blender Base without the Jar properly
positioned.

6. Set the Speed Control to minimum and turn on the blender. Slowly
increase speed as required. The Jar may move slightly as it locates
on the Centering Platform. Let the Blender run until the desired
consistency or temperature has been reached.

7. If the contents stop circulating, DO NOT rock or shake the Jar while
the motor is running. Using the Pulse function or the Tamper will
help. First, Switch the On/Off button to Off Position (‘O’). Then
either:
a) pulse on and off by pressing and releasing the Pulse Switch.
or
b) turn the Speed Control to the lowest setting, remove the Cap and
insert the Tamper through the Lid opening. NOTE: Tamper should
not be used when the Jar is more than ¾ full. Switch to the On
position (‘I’). Hold the Jar handle with one hand and with the other
move the Tamper in both a circular and up/down motion to unblock
the contents of the Jar.
