SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

•Read all instructions.

•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 are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

•Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

•To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.

•Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

•Avoid contact with moving parts.

•Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our customer care center for information on examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

•The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to persons.

•Do not use outdoors.

•Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including stove.

•Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

•Keep hands and utensils out of the jar and away from the cutting blade, while blending or chopping food, to reduce the risk of severe personal injury and/ or damage to the blender or available attachments (attachments may not be provided with blender). A rubber spatula may be used but must be used only when blender is not running.

•Blades are sharp; handle carefully—especially when assembling, disassembling, or cleaning inside blender jar.

•Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.

•Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.

•Always operate blender with lid and emulsion cap assembly in place. Remove emulsion cap assembly only for adding ingredients or to insert the tamper.

•When blending hot liquids or ingredients, remove center emulsion cap assembly from the lid. Use caution: spray or excess steaming may cause scalding and burns. Do not exceed the 6-cup (1420-ml) level. Always begin processing on lowest speed. Keep hands and other exposed skin from the lid opening to prevent possible burns.

•Ensure cutter assembly is tight and secure to jar. Injury can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.

•If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched ON, switch OFF (O) immediately and tighten jar in collar or on blender base.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS continued

•Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.

•Before plugging cord into wall outlet, turn off the appliance. To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF (O). Then remove plug from wall outlet.

•Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only. Use for food or liquids only.

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This product is provided with a grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. The extension cord must be a grounding-type, 3-wire cord. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

If the cutting blade assembly locks and will not move, it will damage the motor. Do not use. Call the customer care center for information.

Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid. This can result in damage to the cutting blade assembly, jar, blender, and possibly result in personal injury.

NOTE: This machine is equipped with motor overload protection. If the motor stops during operation due to overheating, unplug and allow it to cool down for approximately 15 minutes. Plug machine back in to resume normal operation.

Wattage/Peak Power Information

The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an Underwriters Laboratory test and is based on available cutting blade assembly, jar combinations, and attachments that may not be provided with your unit, but are available as replacement parts. This is a measure of input wattage/amperes after 30 seconds of operation. The blender as provided may draw significantly less power.

Peak power is the measure of the motor wattage during the first seconds of operation. This is when a blender requires the most power to crush ice, frozen fruit, etc. This is a better measure of what a blender motor can consume when power is needed most.

How to Use Tamper

Tips

The tamper helps blend very thick and/or frozen mixtures. Use the tamper to remove trapped air bubbles if mixture stops circulating, or to move ingredients from jar corners into the blade. ONLY use the tamper with the jar lid in place.

1.Remove emulsion cap assembly. Insert tamper through hole in blender lid.

2.Blender jar should not be more than two-thirds full when the tamper is used during blending.

3.Do not use tamper with hot liquids.

4.If needed to help ingredients circulate, point the tamper toward the sides or corners of the container. Do not try

to force the tamper deeper into the container and closer to the blades.

Automatic Overload Protection

The Wolf Gourmet Blender is equipped with motor overload protection. If the motor stops during operation due to overheating, unplug and allow it to cool down for about 15 minutes. Plug blender back in to resume normal operation.

TIPS TO PREVENT OVERLOADING:

•Do not process recipes at lower speeds or higher speeds than recommended.

•Do not process recipes longer than recommended.

•Use tamper to process thicker mixtures and keep ingredients moving around and through the blades.

BLENDER TIPS:

•To add foods when blender is operating, remove emulsion cap assembly and add ingredients through the opening.

•For best performance, the minimum amount of liquid needed per recipe is one cup (8 ounces/237 ml). Add more liquid if food is not blending satisfactorily.

•If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to sides of the jar, insert tamper to help move the mixture around or add more liquid to the blender jar.

•Do not store food or liquids in the blender jar.

•Avoid bumping or dropping the blender when in operation or at any time.

•Cutting large whole fruits and vegetables may blend more quickly.

•Do not fill blender jar past highest graduation marking.

•If unit will not operate after 45 minutes of cooling, call our customer care center.

Blender fails to start.

•Make sure selector bezel is not in the OFF position.

•If unit does not respond, call our customer care center.

Blender smells like it is burning.

•Turn off blender and allow unit to cool.

•Although motors are tested during the manufacturing process, heavy use may cause curing of motor windings. The smell may quickly dissipate after a few heavy uses.

•If smell continues after additional heavy uses, call our customer care center.

There is grease around the bottom of the blender jar or on the counter top.

•Monitor the problem and source. This may indicate an issue with the jar bearings.

•Call our customer care center if the condition persists.

Blender jar is cloudy or stained. How can I clean it?

•Some cloudiness may be natural after use. The minerals from fruits, produce, and leafy greens, in addition to the oils of various nut butters, can sometimes cause a film on the blender jar.

•Sprinkle 1/4 cup (59 ml) baking soda in blender. Add 1 cup (237 ml) white vinegar. Mixture will bubble. When bubbling subsides, add 2 cups (473 ml) water and blend on the SOUP cycle. Wash any remaining residue with dish soap and water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
