Questions?

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.
5. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
6. Avoid contact with moving parts.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
8. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to persons.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including stove.

11. Keep hands and utensils out of blender jar and chopper bowl while blending to reduce the risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to blender. A rubber spatula may be used but must be used only when blender is not running.

12. Blades are sharp; handle carefully - especially when assembling, disassembling, or cleaning inside blender jar.

13. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
14. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.
15. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade assembly on base without blender jar or chopper bowl properly attached.
16. Always operate blender with lid in place.
17. When blending hot liquids, open vent opening of lid, and close any lid openings intended for pouring. If pouring with lid in place, ensure the hinged cap is securely in place. Hot liquids may push lid off jar during blending. To prevent possible burns: Do not fill blender jar beyond the 3-cup (710-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.
18. Ensure collar on base of blender jar is tight and secure. Injury can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.
19. If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched ON, switch OFF immediately and tighten jar in collar or on blender base.
20. Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.
21. To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF (O). Then remove plug from wall outlet.
22. Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.
23. Be certain the lid is securely in position before operating appliance.
24. Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.

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.

Wattage/Peak Power Information

The maximum (max.) rating marked on the blender is based on processing a food load, as recommended in this manual, that draws the greatest load. Blending or processing some foods may draw 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.

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.

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.

CAUTION! Burn Hazard: When blending hot liquids, open vent opening of lid, and close any lid openings intended for pouring. Ensure the hinged cap is securely in place. Hot liquids may push lid off jar during blending. To prevent possible burns: Do not fill blender jar beyond the 3-cup (710-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 slowest function.

Wipe blender base, control panel, and cord with a damp cloth or sponge. To remove stubborn spots, use a mild, nonabrasive cleanser.

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. Do not soak.

EASY CLEAN

To Easy Clean, pour 2 cups (473 ml) warm water in jar and add 1 drop liquid dishwashing detergent. Run the blender on EASYCLEAN 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."

Blender Tips

• 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/237 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.
