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

- READ AND KEEP ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put Blender base in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children, or incapacitated persons.
• Unplug 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. Return appliance to the nearest Authorized Sunbeam Appliance Service Center for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
• The use of attachments, including canning and/or ordinary jars and processing assembly parts not recommended by SUNBEAM or OSTER, may cause a risk of injury to persons.
• Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to prevent the possibility of severe injury to persons and/or damage to the Blender. If scraping, folding, etc., is necessary, turn off and unplug the Blender, and only use a rubber spatula.
• Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
• To reduce risk of injury to persons, never place cutting blades on base without Blender container properly attached.
• Screw on container bottom firmly. Injury can result if moving blades become exposed.
• Always operate Blender with cover in place.

• Make sure that the voltage in your outlet is the same as the voltage indicated on the appliance.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THIS BLENDER IS DESIGNED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

The maximum rating as marked on the unit is based on the attachment that draws the greatest load. Other recommended attachments may draw significantly less power.

- FOR 120 V & 127 V PRODUCTS ONLY -

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, 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 DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE.

KNOWING YOUR OSTERIZER® BLENDER

COVER

The cover for your OSTERIZER Blender consists of two parts, the plastic feeder cap (1) and the vinyl cover (2). The cover is self-sealing, and is made of vinyl which is resistant to absorption of odors and stains. The feeder cap is removable for use as a measuring cup and provides an opening for the addition of other ingredients.

CONTAINER

The container (3) for the Blender is graduated for easy measurement and is molded of heat and cold resistant material. The convenient handle and pouring lip permit easy removal of liquid mixtures while thicker mixtures are more easily removed through the bottom opening.

PROCESSING ASSEMBLY

The processing assembly consists of three parts: a sealing ring (4) used as a cushion between the container and the agitator; an agitator (5) of high-grade stainless steel; a threaded container bottom (6).

MOTOR AND MOTOR BASE

The powerful multi-speed motor is the heart of the appliance and is designed just for this unit. It is completely enclosed within the housing (7). The motor uses a "free-floating" feature to reduce noise and wear. This allows the square post which protrudes from the motor base to move slightly from side to side. The powerful food processing motor can be overloaded. To avoid this possibility, closely follow the instructions in this book.

TIGHTENING THE CONTAINER

A. To tighten container bottom, put assembled container securely into motor base ring with handle and lug in front of the right stop.
B. Using container handle, turn container to the left as far as possible. This insures that the container bottom is tightened properly. Remove container from motor base and mount.
C. To operate Blender, place assembled container in motor base ring with container lug against flat side of the motor base stop. If container lug does not rest against flat side of right stop, remove container assembly and place against flat side of left stop. Seat container firmly and operate.
D.To remove container, lift straight up. (If it is not easily removed, rock gently and lift up,do not twist).If container bottom cannot be loosened by hand, place assembled container into motor base ring with handle in front of left side stop. Using handle, turn container to right until container bottom loosens.

Do not attempt to place the container on or attempt to remove it from the motor base while the motor is running.

ALWAYS HOLD CONTAINER WITH ONE HAND WHILE PROCESSING!

ASSEMBLING YOUR BLENDER

CAUTION: Follow these important steps to assemble, tighten, and mount Blender container quickly and correctly. INJURY MAY RESULT IF MOVING BLADES ARE EXPOSED.

1. Turn container upside down so the small opening is at the top.

2. Place sealing ring on container opening.

3. Turn the agitator blades upside down and place in mouth of container.

4. Thread container bottom to container

CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR OSTERIZER® BLENDER

Blender container parts are corrosion resistant, sanitary and easily cleaned. Before first use and after every use, separate container parts and clean thoroughly in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry well. DO NOT WASH ANY PARTS IN AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.

Periodically check all parts before re-assembly. If the processing blades are stuck or difficult to turn, DO NOT USE BLENDER. Check by carefully turning the blades in a counterclockwise direction (opposite edges are sharp). Blades should turn freely. If the container is chipped or cracked, DO NOT USE BLENDER. Further use could result in the container breaking during use. Use only OSTERIZER® Blender recommended replacement parts available at an Authorized Service Center.

USE OF DAMAGED OR NON-RECOMMENDED PARTS COULD RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE BLENDER.

See Page 4 for proper container assembly and user instructions.

NEVER IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER. The housing can be cleaned with a damp cloth (unplug first). The motor is permanently lubricated and does not require any additional lubrication. ANY SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE FACILITY.

HOW YOUR OSTERIZER® BLENDER WORKS

Your OSTERIZER® Blender is a multi-speed appliance which operates on a wide range of speeds from very slow to very fast. This range of speeds makes food preparation easy, interesting and fast.

In addition, your OSTERIZER® Blender has two distinct methods of operation:

1. CONTINUOUS run for blending, liquefying and fine chopping.
2. CONTROLLED CYCLE BLENDING, used for chopping pieces of food, such as vegetables, nuts or cheeses. There are several different ways of operating the CONTROLLED CYCLE / BLENDING CYCLE feature, but all involve turning the motor "ON" and "OFF" intermittently. When "ON," food is chopped and tossed away from the blades. When "OFF," the food is distributed around the blades to make processing more uniform.

NOTE: A cycle consists of operating the blender for about two seconds and then allowing the blades to coast to a stop.

BLENDER ACCESSORIES

MINI JARS

Mini Jars (8-ounce/250 ml) are available as an accessory and are not normally included with your Blender. For proper assembly and tightening instructions, see directions above and on previous page. The Mini Jars allow for the processing and storing of foods in the same container.

DO NOT USE OTHER TYPES OF JARS FOR PROCESSING FOODS. Ordinary jars may break or unscrew during processing. Do not wash any parts, including container, in an automatic dishwasher. DO NOT fill Mini Jar above MAXIMUM FILL LINE to allow for expansion of foods while processing. Overfilling may cause the jar to break and could result in injury.

7

OSTER MINCER AND FOOD PROCESSOR

The OSTER® MINCER and FOOD PROCESSOR is available as a stand-alone accessory and is included with some models. The MINCER is designed to mince virtually all foods.

HOW TO USE

Remove Blender Jar and place MINCER onto motor base of Blender. Make sure that the OSTER® logo faces front, and that the holes under the base match the Blender spikes. Remove cover by pushing it down and rotating it counterclockwise. Insert the blade, and put the ingredients to be minced into the container of your OSTER® MINCER. Replace the cover by pushing it down and rotating it clockwise, making sure that the three locks are correctly secured and that the OSTER® logo is in front. For safe operation while using your MINCER, press down on the cover of the OSTER® MINCER during operation. After using your OSTER® MINCER, remove parts and wash each in water. Dry immediately or let air dry.

THINGS TO DO AND NOT TO DO

Do:

• Use only the line voltage and frequency as specified on the bottom of the Blender.
• Always operate Blender on a clean, dry surface to prevent air from carrying foreign material or water into the motor.
• Put liquid portions of recipes into Blender container first unless the instructions in recipes specify otherwise.
• Cut all firm fruits and vegetables, cooked meats, fish and seafoods into pieces no larger than 3/4 inch/1.8 cm to 1 inch/2.5 cm. Cut all kinds of cheeses into pieces no larger than 3/4 inch/1.8 cm.
• Use rubber spatula to push ingredients to be chopped into liquid portion of recipe ONLY when motor is OFF.
• Place cover firmly on Blender container before starting, and rest hand on the container cover when starting and running motor.
• Remove heavy dips and spreads, nut butters, mayonnaise and products of similar consistency by removing the processing assembly and pushing the mixture out through the bottom opening into serving dishes or storage container.
• Pour mixture of liquid or semi-liquid consistency, such as muffin and cake batter, from Blender container.
• Allow cooked vegetables and broth to cool before pouring into Blender container for processing.
• If the motor seems to labor when processing at one of the lower speeds, switch to the next higher speed to prevent overloading the motor.
• Use a Mini Jar or 5-cup/1.2 liter blender container to process citrus rind, coffee beans or cereal grains. Use only glass Blender container to process whole spices and hard cheese.

Do Not:

• Do NOT expect your Blender to replace all of your kitchen appliances. It will not: mash potatoes, whip egg whites or substitutes for dairy toppings, grind raw meat, knead or mix stiff dough or extract juices from fruits and vegetables.
• Do NOT process mixtures too long. Remember, the Blender performs its tasks in seconds, not minutes. It is better to stop and check the consistency after a few seconds than to overblend and have a mushy or too finely ground product.
• Do NOT overload the motor with extra-heavy or extra-large loads. If the motor stalls, turn off immediately. unplug cord from outlet and remove a portion of the load before beginning again.
• Do Not attempt to remove Blender container from motor base or replace it until the motor has come to a complete stop. Blender parts can be damaged.
• Do NOT remove container cover while processing, as food spillage can occur. Use feeder cap opening to add ingredients.
• Do NOT place or store processing assembly on motor base without first correctly assembling to Blender container. Severe injury can result if Blender is accidentally turned on.
• Do NOT use any utensil, including spatulas, in the container while the motor is running. They can catch in the moving blades. break the container and cause severe injury.
• Do NOT use ANY container not recommended by the manufacturer for processing foods. Other containers may break or loosen during processing and cause severe injury.
• Do Not use Mini Jars for processing whole spices (except peppercorns) or hard cheeses, as they can break the Mini Jars and cause injury.
