Frequently Asked Questions - OM6560 OMEGA

How to use the blender for the first time?

Remove all packaging. Wash the lid, bowl, and blade in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Assemble the bowl onto the motor base, plug in, and use.

How to clean the motor base?

Never immerse the motor base in water. Unplug the appliance, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. Do not put in dishwasher.

What to do if the blender stops during use?

This is overheating protection. Set the switch to Off, wait up to 45 minutes to cool down. If necessary, press the reset button on the bottom of the appliance.

Can I blend hot liquids?

No, do not process boiling liquids. Let them cool before placing in the bowl. Do not put more than 2 cups of hot ingredients at a time.

How to achieve a smooth texture?

Cut food into pieces about 2.5 cm. Do not overfill the bowl. Use the pulse function for precise control. If needed, use the tamper/spatula to push ingredients.

What if the blades do not turn?

Check that the bowl and lid are properly locked. Ensure the blade is correctly attached. Verify the appliance is on and plugged in. If problem persists, inspect the drive coupling.

How to prevent leaks at the bottom of the bowl?

Ensure the silicone gasket is correctly placed under the blade. Tighten the retaining nut at the bottom of the bowl using the disassembly tool if necessary.

Can I blend ice?

Yes, use the pulse function with short presses. Make sure the ice cubes are not too large. The Eastman Tritan™ bowl is resistant.

How to change the blade?

Unplug the appliance. Turn the bowl upside down and use the disassembly tool (sold separately) to loosen the nut. Remove the old blade and insert the new one following instructions. Handle blades with care.

Where to find spare parts?

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using your Omega Blender for the first time, remove any packaging material and promotional labels. Ensure the appliance is switched off at the power outlet and the power cord is unplugged. Wash the lid, inner lid, Eastman Tritan™ Container and blade assembly in warm, soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not place parts in the dishwasher (with the exception of the container, lid and inner lid). The container lid and inner lid may be washed in the dishwasher. Ensure the blade assembly has been removed from the container before placing the blender into the dishwasher. The motor base can be wiped with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

ASSEMBLING THE BLENDER

1. To assemble the container, place the silicon seal onto the blade assembly.
2. Insert the blade assembly into the container base.
3. Place the motor base on a flat, dry surface. Ensure that the motor base is switched off and the power cord is unplugged. Turn the blender container upright and insert on to the motor base.
4. Plug the power cord into a power outlet. The handle of the container can be positioned to the left or right hand side of the appliance.

DISASSEMBLING THE BLENDER

1. Always ensure your Omega Blender is switched off. Then unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the container from the motor base by grasping the handle and lifting the container in an upward direction. Remove the blade assembly by upturning the container and twisting the blade removal clockwise, then lift upwards and away from the base of the blender.
3. Remove the silicon seal from the blade assembly.

AUTOMATIC OVERLOAD PROTECTION

Your Omega motor is designed to protect itself from overheating. If the motor shuts OFF, turn OFF the power switch for up to 45 minutes to reset. To reduce reset time unplug the machine, remove the container and blow air into the center section. Press the reset button on bottom of blender.

POWERCORD

Your machine is equipped with a long power cord.

Store the unused portion neatly underneath.

BOTTOM VIEW/CORD WRAP

Plastic cord retainers hold the cord securely. There is no need to unscrew the cord retainers to let out more cord.

They are flexible and return to position after the cord lifted out.

1. To turn the Omega blender on, switch to ON position.
   NOTE: When using your Omega Blender for the first time, you may notice an odor coming from the motor. This is normal and will dissipate with use.
2. Add food or liquid into the container ensuring not to exceed the 'MAX' mark.
3. Place the blender lid firmly into position on the top of the container. If not already in place, insert the clear inner lid into the blender lid and turn clockwise or counterclockwise to lock into position.
4. Turn your blender ON, or select a speed, depending on model. The blender will start to operate. The speed can be changed at any time during the blending process.
5. To stop blending at any time, turn switch to OFF position or switch 'OFF'.
6. At the end of use, always ensure your Omega Blender is turned off by pressing or switching 'OFF'. Then unplug the cord. Ensure the motor and blades have completely stopped before attempting to move. Disassemble, clean, and store the appliance.

NOTE: During the blending process, ingredients may stick to the sides of the container. To push the food back onto the blades, switch 'OFF' and remove the power cord. Remove the lid and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the container. Replace the lid before blending.

NOTE: If any moisture or liquid appears on top of the motor base during blending, switch 'OFF'. Remove the container. Wipe the motor base immediately with a dry cloth or paper towelling. Check that the container is correctly assembled.

HOW TO USE THE PLUNGER/SPATULA

The Plunger/Spatula helps mix very thick mixtures. While the machine is running, and only through the lid plug opening, use the Plunger/Spatula to push ingredients into the blades. We suggest using when making frozen ice creams and nut butters, or to puree fruits and vegetables.

• The round disk (near the top of the Plunger/Spatula) and lid prevents the Plunger/ Spatula from hitting the blades when the lid is secured properly in the locked position.
• The container should not be more than two-thirds full when the Plunger/Spatula is used during blending.
• Do not use the Plunger / Spatula for more than 30 consecutive seconds (to avoid overheating).
• If the food does not circulate, the blender may have a trapped air bubble. Carefully remove the inner lid while making sure the main lid stays firmly in place Release the air bubble by inserting the Plunger / Spatula through the inner lid opening.
• Hold the Plunger/Spatula straight down. If this does not help the ingredients circulate, point the Plunger / Spatula toward the side or corner of the container.

EASY CLEANING & CARING TIPS

CLEANING

Do not put the container assembly & blender base assembly in the dishwasher.

1. Before first use and after every use, separate container parts from the base.
2. Add cleaning solution to the container. Use water (less than 115^ / 46^ ) and a non-sudsing detergent.
3. Scrub and flush out the container interior lid and feeder cap to remove food residue.
4. Empty container.
5. Fill container 1/4 full with fresh washing solution and place it on the base.
6. Replace the lid on the container and run the blender on high speed for 2 minutes.
7. Repeat step 5 using clean rinse water.
8. Wipe down the container, feeder cap, and lid with a soft cloth or sponge.
9. Wipe the exterior of the base with a damp cloth or sponge then dry thoroughly. The base contains electrical components: do not immerse, use a high-pressure washer, or use a dishwasher to clean the base.
10. Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.

CARING TIPS

To care for your blender, please read the tips as follows:

1. Periodically check all parts before reassembly, as use of damaged or non-recommended parts could result in a severe personal injury and/or damage to the blender.
2. Blades: If the processing blades are stuck or difficult to turn, DO NOT USE BLENDER. Unplug the blender. Check the blades by carefully turning in a counterclockwise direction, where the opposite edges are sharp. Blades should turn freely.
3. Container: If the Eastman Tritan™ Container is cracked, DO NOT USE BLENDER, further use could result in the container breakage during use.
4. Blender Base: Never immerse the blender base in water. Unplug unit. The housing can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
   5.Motor: The motor is permanently lubricated and does not require any additional lubrication.

ADAPTERS

On most models, the power cord comes equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which connects to a standard three-prong wall outlet (Figure 1).

Please use approved 2 prong adapters (Figure 2) when a ground is not available. Do not cut or remove the round grounding prong from the power cord.

ADDITIONAL USES

• Use for drinks or cocktail making, emulsions such as mayonnaise, dressings, marinades and foods that require mixing until just combined, such as batters, also for pureeing soups and aerating liquids.
• Use to blend fruits, ice cream and yogurts into thick smoothies, whips and milkshakes.
• Use the Pulse function for foods that only require short bursts of power such as chopping nuts and crushing ice.
• Use the Pulse function with short bursts of power, when blending drinks containing ice cubes or frozen fruit.
• Ensure all foods are cut into cubes (approx. 1 inch square) where appropriate to achieve an even result.
• Do not put more than 2 cups of warm ingredients into the Omega Blender before blending commences. After the blending process has begun and the blades are turning you may slowly add another 1 12 cups of ingredients through the opening in the lid if desired.
• Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if the Omega Blender is 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 full.
• When using several ingredients, place liquid ingredients in the container before solid ingredients, unless specified in the recipe. When blending thick or dry mixtures it may be necessary to use the plunger/spatula to scrape down the sides of the container. Do not use metal utensils as they may damage the blades or blender.
