Accessories/Parts (USA/Canada)

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, 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. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number listed on the cover of 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.
- 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 cutter assembly blades on base without the jar properly attached.
Always operate blender with cover in place.
- When blending hot liquids, remove center piece of two-piece cover.
Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

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.

ELECTRICAL CORD

The cord of this appliance was selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in or tripping over a longer cord. If more length is needed, use an extension cord rated no less than 15-amperes. (For 220 volts rated products, use an extension cord rated no less than 6-amperes). When using an extension cord, do not let it drape over the working area or dangle where someone could accidentally trip over it. Handle cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it at outlet and appliance connections.

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 or in Latin America by an authorized service center.

BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

Cut food into pieces no larger than 34 -inch 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.

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

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

• 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 and liquor (E).
• When making bread crumbs, chopping nuts or grinding coffee beans, 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 PULSE/OFF button to begin the blending process when preparing beverages that include ice cubes; this helps to produce a smoother texture.

• The PULSE function is helpful when short bursts of power are needed, such as when preparing thick smoothies or milkshakes, chopping nuts or grinding coffee beans.
• 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, always open the lid cap and replace it ajar with the opened side away from you. Cover lid with a cloth to avoid splattering and only use the lowest speed. Do not blend more than 212 to 3 cups at a time (F).

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 blender jar)

Several other don'ts:

Do not operate blender without the lid on the blender jar.

Do not store foods in the blender jar.

Do not overfill the blender (the blender is more efficient with less rather than more).

Do not put boiling liquids into blender.

Do not use PULSE for more than 10 seconds at a time; release the PULSE/OFF button regularly, allow the blender to rest briefly, then continue.

Do not run blender for longer than 112 minutes at a time. Scrape down sides of blender jar, if necessary, and continue blending.

Do not use if blender jar is chipped or cracked.
