Before using your Omega Blender for the rst 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.

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.

USING YOUR OMEGA BLENDER

1. To turn the Omega blender on, switch to ON position.

NOTE: When using your Omega Blender for the rst 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 rmly 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 purée 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 rmly 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.6

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.

EASY CLEANING & CARING TIPS

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

1. Before rst use and after every use, separate container parts from the base.

2. Add cleaning solution to the container. Use water (less than 115°F/46°C) and a

non-sudsing detergent.

3. Scrub and ush out the container interior lid and feeder cap to remove food residue.

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 difcult 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. ADAPTERS7 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 1½ cups of ingredients through the opening in the lid if desired.

• Thick mixtures puree more efciently if the Omega Blender is ¼ to ½ full.

When using several ingredients, place liquid ingredients in the container before solid ingredients, unless specied 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. MAINTENANCE Inspect the blender and its various parts and replace as follows: DAILY

1. Unplug the blender and remove the container from the base.

2. Inspect the container blades for wear, nicks, and broken or loose blades.

2. Inspect the power cord insulation and power plug for cracks.

1. Review the condition of the container assembly at least every 90 days.

2. Replace if necessary.
