Additional Safety Information

SHORT POWER CORD

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.

POLARIZED PLUG

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 fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
modify the plug in any way.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:

1 Read all instructions carefully.

2 To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put appliance base,

cord or plug in water or other liquid.

3 Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or

near children.

4 Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking

off parts, and before cleaning. To disconnect, turn unit off, grasp
plug, and pull from the wall. Never yank on cord.

5 Avoid contact with moving parts.

6 Be certain cover is securely locked in place before operating

Food Processor.

7 Your Food Processor attachment includes a safety interlock device

which prevents the unit from operating without the Lids locked in
place. Do not attempt to defeat this interlock. Always check Lids for
damage prior to use.

8 Keep hands and utensils out of Blender Jug and away from blades

and discs while processing food to reduce the risk of severe injury to
persons or damage to the unit. Scraper may be used but must be
used only when Blender/Food Processor is not running. .

9 Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or

after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any
manner. Return the appliance to an authorized service facility for
examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

10 The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance

manufacturer, including canning jars, may cause fire, electric shock,
or injury to persons.

11 Do not use outdoors.

12 Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch

hot surfaces, including the stove.

13 Never feed food by hand. Always use food pusher.

14 Blades are very sharp. Handle carefully. Store out of reach of

children.

15 To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter-assembly or discs

on base without Blender Jug properly attached or without first
putting Mixing Bowl properly in place.

16 Always operate Blender with cover in place.

17 When blending hot liquids, remove Filler Cap from cover and do not

fill Blender beyond 3-cup level. Keep hands and face away from Filler
Cap while motor is running.

18 Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.

Before Your First Use

Wash all parts, except Motor Housing or Cord, in warm soapy water and
dry thoroughly. Never immerse Motor Housing or Cord in water as this
will damage the unit.

Figure 3

Figure 4

Figure 5

1 Place the appliance on a flat, stable, level

surface where it cannot fall.

2 Place the Blender Jug on the Motor

Housing. Rotate the Blender Jug clockwise
as far as possible until you hear it click into
place (see Figures 1 and 2).

3 Cut the ingredients into pieces that fit in the

Jug. Do not cut into pieces that are too
large, since they will need to be small
enough to fall to the base of the Jug.

4 Place the Lid onto the Jug to prevent

splashing. The cutaway portion of the Lid
will go over the pour spout side of the
Blender Jug (see Figure 3). Place the Lid on
the Jar at a slight angle and turn clockwise
to lock into place (see Figures 4 and 5 nest
page).

5 Insert the plug into the wall outlet and turn

the power switch on the side of the Motor
Housing to the ON position.

6 Press the P(ulse) button to operate the

motor for a short period at high speed
(pulse function) or press the I button for
continuous low speed, or the II/FROZEN
DRINK button for continuous high speed.
The Standby Indicator Light will dim and the
blue indicator light for the selected function
will illuminate.

• Note: the Blender works very fast.
In a few seconds the ingredients will
be processed. The consistency of the
ingredients increases with longer
blend times.

7 If necessary, you can add ingredients

through the cover by removing the center
cap of the Lid: turn the Filler Cap counter­clockwise and remove. If the pieces are too
large for the filling opening then switch off
the Blender, remove the Lid, and add the
ingredients. Put the Lid back on the Jug
before switching the Blender on again.

8 Once you have processed the required

quantity of ingredients
you can switch the appliance off (press the
button with the lit indicator light).

9 Remove the Jug from the Motor Housing by

turning it counter clockwise 90 degrees and
lifting straight up.

Automatic Frozen Drink Mode

• Your Blender is equipped with a special
electronic function to make frozen drinks.
Press the II/FROZEN DRINK button for
more than 3 seconds to use this function.
The Blender will automatically pulse on and
off for approximately 22 seconds. This
allows the ice cubes to fall back onto the
chopping blades during processing, giving
you an even, smooth texture. You can stop
the automatic function at any time once
your drink has reached the desired consis­tency by simply pressing the II/FROZEN
DRINK button a second time.

Blender Helpful Hints

• 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-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 Filler Cap and
drop through the opening. Never attempt to crush ice utilizing your
Food Processor Bowl. As a general rule, add no more than 3 cups of
ice to 4 cups of liquid.

• If too much food is blended at one time, the motor may stall. If this
happens, stop the Blender, turn switch off, unplug from wall outlet,
remove a portion of the food and 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
Filler Cap from the Blender Lid and drop the ingredients through the
opening. Remember to replace the Filler 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 or coffee beans. If the
food cannot be cut with a knife, do not place in the Blender jar.

8 Pull the Power Cord out out of the Storage

Cavity at the rear of the Motor Housing.
Ensure that the cord is over the larger
opening in the cord storage area and not in
the locked position, see figs. 10 and 11.

9 Insert the plug into the wall outlet.

If after plugging the cord in, all indicator
lights are flashing, the Mixing Bowl and/or
the Lid is not placed correctly on the Motor
Housing. For safety reasons it is not possible
to switch on the appliance in Food
Processor Mode UNLESS both bowl and Lid
are properly assembled. Check the position
of the bowl and the Lid and ensure that it
matches Figures 7 & 9. When the Mixing
Bowl and the Lid are fitted correctly, only
the Standby Indicator Light flashes. Only
then can the appliance be operated.

10 Press the P(ulse) button to have the Motor

Housing run for a short period at high speed
(pulse function) or press the I button for
continuous low speed or the II/FROZEN
DRINK button for continuous high speed.
The Standby Indicator Light will dim and the
blue indicator light for the selected speed
will be illuminated.

11 Add ingredients during use via the Food

Chute in the Lid. Use the Food Pusher to
push solid ingredients downwards through
the chute opening.

12 Use the Food Pusher to close the Chute

opening during use so that nothing can fall
into or splash out of the Mixing Bowl.

13 You can turn the motor off by pressing the

Selected Speed button or if using the
P(ulse) button, simply remove your finger
from the button. Switch the power off by
pressing the power switch, located on the
right side of the Motor Housing and unplug
from the wall outlet.

14 Remove the Mixing Bowl by rotating counter clockwise and lifting

straight up. Remove the Processing Blade with the Accessory Shaft
from the bowl before emptying.

• Your electronically-controlled motor comes equipped with an
automatic overload protection system which serves two
functions:

1) Time Protection: After two minutes of continuous operation,
the motor will shut off. Fifteen seconds before switching off, the
Standby Indicator Light will begin to flash. This prevents the
motor from overheating during use; and

2) Overload Protection: In the event of an electrical overload, the
motor will automatically shut off. Simply unplug the unit from the
outlet. Wait at least 15 seconds before using again.

• To avoid personal injury or damage to the appliance, never insert
a hand or another object into the Mixing Bowl while the appliance
is being used.

• Always use the Food Pusher to push ingredients. Never use your
fingers, a fork or another object to push ingredients.

• Do not remove the Lid from the Mixing Bowl before the
Processing Blade has stopped moving.

• To remove the Processing Blade from Accessory Shaft, press the

two side lock tabs in, and carefully the lift the blade off the Shaft.
See Figure 12.
