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.

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.

HELPFUL HINTS & TIPS

• When using hard foods, such as ice or cheese, keep one hand on the lid to keep blender jar and base in place.
• Cut food into pieces no larger than 34 before blending.
• When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar or the mixture is very thick, turn the 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 oil, milk, cream or liquor.

• When making bread, cookie, cereal, or cracker crumbs, make sure blending jar is completely dry.

• When using the pulse function, use short bursts. Allow the blades to stop rotating between pulses. Do not pulse for more than 30 seconds continuously.
• It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest speed and then increase to a higher speed, if necessary.
• Never operate the blender without the lid.
• To stop blending at any time, press the (p) pulse/stop) or 0(on/off) button.
• When blending hot ingredients, always let them cool at least 5 minutes before blending. Begin blending on the lowest speed with the lid cap off to allow steam to escape. Cover lid cap hole with towel or hot pad.
• When crushing ice with no other ingredients, use 2 cups ice max (about 15 cubes). Make sure blender jar is completely dry before ice crushing.

CLEANING TIPS:
