Additional Safety Information

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care;
however, be sure the marked electrical rating is at least as great as the electrical rating of
this appliance. The extension cord should be positioned such that it does not drape over
the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. The
electrical rating of this appliance is listed on the bottom panel of the unit.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk
of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

Never immerse motor base or gearbox in water as this will damage the unit.

Assembling

Your Blender

1 For safety purposes your blade assembly is designed to not fully remove from

your blender jar.

2

Your blender lid is designed to defeat operation of the blender unless the lid is
properly in place. You will notice three tabs on your blender lid, and two tabs on
your blender jar. The straight tab on the blender lid is used to engage the safety
interlock in the handle (Figure 1). Place the blender jar in front of you with the
handle facing to the right. Place the lid on the jar with the lid tabs to the left of
the tabs on the glass. Turn the lid counter clockwise until the straight tab is fully
engaged in the handle interlock above the handle and you cannot turn the lid
any further.

3

Place the filler cap into the lid and place the blender jar on the motor base with
the handle facing to the right of the control panel. This will engage the safety
activator pin as referenced in Figure 2.

4

Plug the blender into a 120-volt 60 Hz AC only outlet. Your blender is now ready
for use.

5

Before removing the blender jar from the motor base after use, always unplug the
unit first and make sure all lights on the control panel are out.

Using Your Blender

Cleaning Your Blender

Unplug your blender and remove glass jar from blender base by lifting straight up.
Rinse with warm water to remove any large food particles that may have accumulated
in the jar. For safety purposes your blade assembly is designed to not fully remove from
your blender jar. When cleaning your blender jar by hand always ensure that the jar is
removed from the motor base, and that the motor base is unplugged. Extreme caution

should be used when cleaning your blender jar as the blades are very sharp.

1 Your blender jar assembly can be cleaned by adding a small amount of dishwashing

detergent into the blender jar and fill halfway with water. Run on “mix” speed for
20 seconds and repeat with clean tap water.

2 Fully rinse the blender jar to remove all soapy residue. For stubborn stains fill

your assembled blender jar halfway with soapy water and allow to soak for 30

minutes. Repeat step 1 or use a thin nylon brush when cleaning around the blade assembly.
3 Wipe the cord and base clean with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
Caution: Do not immerse the blender motor base in water or other liquid. Do not use

abrasive cleansers on any part of the blender.
If you must loosen your blade assembly to remove a piece of wedged food follow the

instructions below:
Disassemble the blender jar by turning the jar upside down and turning the protruding

tabs down and counter-clockwise. Do not force the blade assembly out of the glass jar,
merely clean around the gasket and blade assembly to remove any wedged food.

•

Your blender is equipped with a safety interlock that will prevent operation unless the
lid is properly placed on the blender jar, and the blender is properly placed on the
motor base. See Assembling Your Blender page 6.

•

Remove the lid cap while blending hot liquids; this will release any steam and
condensation that may build up inside the jar.

•

Do not place any utensil (spatula, fork, etc.) in the blender container while the
blender is operating. If you need to scrape ingredients from the sides of the jar, first
stop the blender and wait for the blades to completely stop moving.

•

When blending solid foods, always cut them into no larger than 1/2 inch to
1-inch pieces before placing them into the jar. Blend no more than 1/2 cup of these
foods at a time for uniform blending.

•

Remember that ice cubes vary in size and shape. Smaller ice cubes can be chopped
or crushed faster than larger ones. To add ice cubes to mixtures while the blender is
operating remove the lid cap and drop through the opening. Never attempt to crush
ice utilizing your food processor bowl.

•

If too much food is blended at one time, the motor may stall. If this happens, stop
the blender. Remove a portion of the food; repeat the blending process.

•

Always add liquid ingredients first, followed by solid ingredients.

•

To add food or liquid while the blender is operating, remove the lid cap from the
blender jar cover and drop the ingredients through the opening. Remember to replace
the lid cap when you have finished adding the ingredients.

•

Avoid over-blending. Usually, you will need to blend for only a few seconds,
not minutes.

•

This blender is not intended to do any of the following tasks: grind meat, mash
potatoes, whip cream, knead dough, whip egg whites, or serve as a juice extractor.

•

Never place any of the following ingredients into the blender jar: bones or large
pieces of solidly frozen foods. If the food cannot be cut with a knife, do not place
in the blender jar.

If using the stainless steel chopping blade simply place it over
the shaft and allow it to fall freely to the bottom of the bowl.
Do not force the blade into the bowl. If the blade does not fall
freely simply turn it slightly left or right and place it onto the
shaft

(see figure 2).

4 If using the reversible slicing / shredding disc first place the

stem adapter onto the gearbox shaft with large opening facing
down

(see figure 3)

and allow it to fall freely down onto the shaft.
Do not force stem adaptor onto the shaft. Then place the
slicing/shredding disc onto the stem

(see figure 4)

by matching

the shape of the stem adaptor to the slicing/shredding disk.

a. If shredding ensure that the raised shredding holes are on

top, if slicing ensure the raised slicing blade is on top.

5

Place the lid on the bowl by turning it counter-clockwise until
the lid clicks into place

(see figure 5)

. The feed tube should be
in the same position and side as the handle. Place the food
pusher into the feed tube

(see figure 6).

Note: Your food processor features a safety interlock system.
The unit will not operate unless the bowl and bowl cover are
properly aligned and locked into place.

Plug unit into a 120-volt 60 Hz AC only outlet. Turn the unit

shredding disks. Press the food down slowly and steadily
with the pusher.

IMPORTANT: Use GENTLE force to press down on the food
pusher. Excessive force could cause damage to the disk.

6

To stop your food processor, press the on/off button or
re-press the “Proc” button. Wait until the blade or disc comes to
a complete stop before removing the lid or bowl.

The feed tube on the bowl can be used to add ingredients for processing. Use the
food pusher to push ingredients through the feed tube. You can also use the pusher
to seal off the feed tube while the appliance is running to prevent dust from entering
or foods/liquids from escaping.

Reversible Slicing and Shredding Disc

Use this disc for slicing and shredding fruits, vegetables, cheeses
and more.

•

Precut large chunks of food to fit the size of the feed tube.

•

For best results, fill the feed tube evenly.

•

Press the ingredients down slowly and steadily with the pusher.

IMPORTANT: Use GENTLE force to press down on the food pusher. Excessive force
could cause damage to the disk.

•

When processing large quantities, process small batches at a time and empty the
bowl between batches. Caution: Blades are very sharp. Use care when handling.

Stainless Steel Chopping Blade

Use the stainless steel chopping blade for chopping, mixing,
blending, pureeing and preparing crumbs, and short crust pastry.

•

Cut food into 3/4” pieces for best results.

•

Use the pulse feature to prevent over-processing.

•

Most foods should take 10 to 60 seconds to process. Avoid
letting the appliance run continuously.

•

If food sticks to the blade or side of bowl while processing, turn the unit off,
remove the lid, and use a spatula to remove or scrape down the ingredients.

When using the stainless steel chopping blade to chop, mince or puree, do not exceed 2
cups of liquid ingredients or 3 cups of dry ingredients. Use maximum quantity, and
then empty bowl for another batch.
