How to Assemble and Use
IMPORTANT: Your blender jar and cutting blades are subject
to wear during normal use. Always inspect jar for nicks, chips
or cracks. Always inspect cutting blades for broken, cracked
or loose blades. If jar or cutting blades are damaged, do
not use. Contact an authorized service facility to obtain
replacement parts.
1. Make sure blender is unplugged. Place blender base on
clean, dry surface to keep foreign particles from being
pulled up into motor during operation.
2. Place cutting blades in jar nut. Screw jar onto the jar nut
with cutting blades.
3. Make sure the jar nut is firmly screwed onto the jar. If not,
it may loosen later when motor is turned on.
4. Set jar into place on blender base, making sure it is
securely seated. If not, gently rock the jar until seated.

ing liquids. Choose desired speed on control panel to start
the blender. When using PULSE the blender will operate
only as long as the button is pushed.

stopped rotating before removing jar.
