IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
This appliance has a polarized plug one blade is wider than the other. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in
any way.
ELECTRIC CORD
An extension cord may be used with care; however, the marked electrical rating shall
be at least as great as the electrical rating of this appliance. The extension cord
should not be allowed to drape over the tabletop where it can be pulled on by children
or tripped over.

to check the results. This will help avoid over-processing.
• Always place lid over container before blending.
• Place liquid ingredients into the blender first, unless recipe instructs otherwise.
• Extra ingredients may be added while blending by removing cap on top of lid.
• Shut blender off if blending stops or ingredients stick to the container. Remove the lid and, with
a rubber spatula, push the mixture toward the blades. Place lid back on top of the container and
resume blending.
• Do not place any utensil in the container - spoon, spatula, knife, etc.- while blender
is in operation.
• To reduce wear on the cutting blade assembly, place solid food portions in blender 1/2 cup at a
time. Raw fruits and vegetables or cooked meats should be cut in 1" pieces before blending.
• Remove thick mixtures easily through bottom of the container after removing the cutting blade
assembly.
• Do not store food in the container.
• When recipes require different speeds for different blend ingredients, blend a portion at a time.
• When crushing ice, add only one cube at a time. Blend ice only when liquid is in the container.
• Always lift container out of base to prevent it from unscrewing from the blade assembly. Grasp
collar and handle to avoid content spillage.
