Before First UserAfter unpacking the blender, wash everything
except the blender base in hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Wipe the
blender base with a damp cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE THE
BASE IN WATER. Care should be taken when handling the cutting
blades as they are very sharp.
How to Assemble and Use
Operating Instructions
• Before starting, make sure that the blender cord is unplugged and
that the power switch, located on the middle of the blender base, is
in the OFF position.
• Check the jar to be certain that the cutting blade assembly, jar
gasket, and cutting blade assembly gasket are in the proper
positions.
(1) Cutting blade assembly must be securely tightened to the jar
before placing food or liquid in the jar.
(2) Tighten the cutting blade assembly by holding the jar upside
down and rotating the cutting blade assembly clockwise.
• Place the jar assembly on the blender base so that it is firmly
seated and not tilted to one side. Never place the blade assembly
on the blender base without the jar being completely assembled
and securely tightened.
• Add ingredients to be processed, and place lid on the jar. Be sure
lid is fully seated.
• Be sure the power switch is still in the OFF position, and plug the
blender into the wall outlet.
• Turn the Speed Control Knob to your desired setting. The speed
can be changed at any time during the blending process. For
ingredients that require short bursts of power, use PULSE setting.
• Always be sure to switch the power switch to the OFF position
when you are not blending.
How to Clean
Cleaning
• Before cleaning, be sure that the unit is off and cord is unplugged
from outlet.
• Whenever possible, rinse filler cap and lid immediately after
processing to make cleanup easier. Do not immerse the motor base
in liquid.
• If washing the jar by hand, wash in hot, soapy water, rinse, and
dry thoroughly. If necessary, use a nylon bristle brush to thoroughly
clean the jar.
• Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal
parts.
• Do not fill the jar with boiling water. Do not place any of the parts
in boiling water.
• Do not allow the blade assembly in the jar to soak in water for long
periods of time.
