When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! 840212602 ENv01.indd 2840212602 ENv01.indd 2 5/9/12 8:30 AM5/9/12 8:30 AM3 Other Consumer Safety Information This appliance is intended for household use only. Use for food or liquids only. WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet. The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. If the cutting blade assembly locks and will not move, it will damage the motor. Do not use. Call the toll-free customer service number for information. Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid. This can result in damage to the cutting blade assembly, jar, blender, and possibly result in personal injury. The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an Underwriters Laboratory test and is based on available cutting blade assembly, jar combinations, and attachments that may not be provided with your unit, but are available as replacement parts. This is a measure of input wattage/amperes after 30 seconds of operation. The blender as provided may draw significantly less power. Peak power is the measure of the motor wattage during the first seconds of operation. This is when a blender requires the most power to crush ice, frozen fruit, etc. This is a better measure of what a blender motor can consume when power is needed most. BEFORE FIRST USE: After unpacking blender, wash everything except blender base in hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Wipe blender base with a damp cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE BASE IN WATER. Care should be taken when handling cutting blade assembly as it is very sharp.

Always inspect jar for nicks, chips, or cracks. Always inspect cutting blade assembly for broken, cracked, or loose blades. If jar or cutting blade assembly is damaged, do not use. Call our toll-free customer service number to obtain replacement parts.

Push the desired speed button. When using a Pulse button, the blender will only run when the button is held down. CAUTION: Burn Hazard. When blending hot liquids, open vent opening of lid, and close any lid openings intended for pouring. Hot liquids may push lid off jar during blending. Do not fill blender jar beyond the 3-cup (750-ml) level. With the protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on top of lid. Keep exposed skin away from lid. Start blending at lowest speed.

To add foods when blender is operating, open hinged pouring cap and add ingredients through the opening.

For best performance, the minimum amount of liquid needed per recipe is one cup (8 ounces/250 ml). Add more liquid if food is not blending properly.

If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to sides of the jar, there may not be enough liquid in the jar to blend efficiently.

Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip egg whites, grind raw meat, or extract juices from fruits and vegetables.

Do not store food or liquids in the blender jar.

Avoid bumping or dropping the blender when in operation or at any time. 840212602 ENv01.indd 6840212602 ENv01.indd 6 5/9/12 8:31 AM5/9/12 8:31 AM7 Using Food Chopper Attachment (Optional Accessory on Select Models)

EASY CLEAN To Easy Clean, pour 2 cups (500 ml) warm water in jar and add 1 drop liquid dishwashing detergent. Run the blender on EASY CLEAN for 10 seconds. Discard soapy water. Rinse with clean water. This function is not a substitute for regular cleaning as instructed in “Cleaning Your Blender.” This function should never be used when blending any mixture containing eggs, milk, or any other dairy products, meats, or seafood. The Easy Clean function should only be used to rinse the blender between batches of processing the same food. When the processing of a single type of food is finished, the blender should be disassembled and thoroughly cleaned as instructed in “Cleaning Your Blender.” DO NOT use the “SANI” setting when washing in the dishwasher. “SANI” cycle temperatures could damage your product. Parts may also be washed with hot, soapy water. Care should be taken when handling the cutting blade assembly as it is very sharp. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
