IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.

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

• Read all instructions.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put blender base, cord or plug in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
• Avoid contacting 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. Contact the consumer service number listed in this manual.
• The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let the plug or cord hang over the edge of table or counter, or touch with hot surfaces including stove.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

• Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the blender is not running.

• Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
• To reduce the risk of injury, never place blade assembly on base without the jar properly attached.

SAFETY FEATURES

POLARIZED PLUG (120V models only)

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

ELECTRICAL CORD

1) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2) Longer detachable power cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
a) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
b) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
c) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed in these instructions.

USING YOUR BLENDER

Important: Appliance should always have lid in place when in use.

Caution: Do not place blender jar onto base when motor is running.

1. Make sure appliance is OFF.
2. Place foods to be blended into jar. For best results place ingredients in jar in the following order: liquids, powders, soft foods, hard foods, ice.
3. Place lid on jar; make sure lid cap is in place.
4. Plug power cord into outlet.

Note: When in use, do not leave blender unattended. When using hard foods, such as ice or cheese, keep one hand on the lid to keep blender in place.

1. Select the speed that best suits your desired task. (See SPEED CHART)

2. When blending thick mixtures such as smoothies and milkshakes, press the PULSE button for several seconds, then release. Repeat until food has desired consistency. Releasing the PULSE button automatically turns the blender off (C).

Note: Use PULSE for no more than five seconds at a time, allowing the blender to rest briefly between each pulse, no more than two minutes total. This helps break up the ice and distribute the ingredients.

Important: Do not remove the lid while the blender is running.

2. To remove the jar, grasp the handle and lift up.
3. Remove lid to pour.
4. Always unplug the appliance when not in use.

BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

• Cut food into pieces no larger than 3/4 for use in the blender.
• When preparing foods that have several different kinds of ingredients, always add liquid ingredients first.
• When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar or the mixture is very thick, press the PULSE/OFF button to turn appliance off. Remove the lid and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the jar and to redistribute the food, pushing food toward the blades. Replace the lid and continue blending.
• The lid cap holds up to 2 oz. of liquid and can be used as a measure when adding ingredients such as juices, milk, cream or liquor.
• When making bread crumbs make sure blender jar is completely dry.
• When using PULSE function, use short bursts. Allow the blades to stop rotating between pulses. Do not use PULSE for more than 2 minutes.
• Use the ICE CRUSH button when preparing beverages that include ice cubes or anything frozen; this helps to produce a smoother texture.
• It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest speed and then increase to a higher speed, if necessary.
• To stop blending at any time, press the PULSE/OFF button.
• When blending hot ingredients, remove the lid cap and then put it back partly open, with the opened side tilted away from you. Cover lid with a cloth to avoid splattering and only use the lowest speed. Do not blend more than 2 12 to 3 cups at a time.
• Do not store foods in the blending jar.
• Do not overfill the blender (the blender is more efficient with less rather than more).
• Do not run blender for longer than 1 12 minutes at a time. Scrape down sides of blending jar, if necessary, and continue blending.
• Do not use if blending jar is chipped or cracked.
• It is not recommended to use your blender to beat egg whites, mix dough, mash potatoes, or grind meats.

DO NOT PLACE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING IN THE BLENDER:

• Large pieces of frozen foods
- Tough foods such as raw turnips, sweet potatoes and potatoes
- Bones
- Hard salami, pepperoni
- Boiling liquids (cool for 5 minutes before placing in blending jar)
