IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

CAUTION

To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions and warnings.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

• Read all instructions, including these important safeguards and the care and use instructions in this manual.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not put the cord, plug or the motor assembly in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug the appliance from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
• Avoid contact with moving parts.

- Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions or if the appliance is dropped or damaged in any manner. If you experience any problems with your machine, unplug it immediately from the electrical outlet. For service information see warranty page.

- The use of accessory attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by Focus Electrics may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

- Do not use outdoors.

- Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter.

- Do not let the cord come into contact with hot surfaces, including a stove.

- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner or in a heated oven.

- Do not use this appliance for other than its intended use.

- Turn off the machine before removing the blending mug from the base and before placing the blending mug on the base.

- Do not run motor without blending mug properly attached to motor base or when blending mug is empty.

- Keep hands and utensils out of blending mug while mixing ingredients to reduce risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the machine.

- Blades are sharp; handle carefully.

• Always operate the appliance with the lid in place.

- Do not blend excessively hot liquids. Never pour boiling water into the blending jar.

- Be sure to turn switch to "OFF" position after each use.

- To disconnect, grip plug and pull from wall outlet. Never pull on cord to disconnect.

CAUTION

To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions and warnings.

• Never leave the house while the appliance is on.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer, detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The cord should be arranged so that it will not hang over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over.
• After running the motor continuously for ninety seconds, wait at least three minutes before running the motor again.
• 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.
• To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter-assembly blades on base without blending mug properly attached.
  • For household use only.

The Blender Express™ mug has convenient measuring marks to create perfect smoothies and frozen drinks. To make your favorite drink, follow these simple steps:

TO MIX:

1. ADD ICE – Add ice or frozen ingredients until the total level reaches the FROZEN INGREDIENTS line on the side of the mug. Frozen ingredients include ice, frozen fruit, frozen yogurt, ice cream, etc.

2. ADD LIQUIDS – Add any combination of liquid ingredients up to the LIQUIDS mark on the side of the mug. Liquids include any soft ingredients such as fruit, milk, fruit juice, herbal supplements, or yogurt in any combination you think would be tasty.

3. Place the blade base on the mug and turn clockwise to tighten. Note: For the Blender Express™ Plus, you can use both blade bases, interchangeably, between the mugs and the blending containers.

4. With the blade base firmly attached to the mug, flip the mug over and secure the blade base onto the motor base by turning the mug clockwise.

Note: The Blender Express ^™ includes a small, clear gasket inside the rim of the blade base as well as a travel lid. The gasket provides an effective seal between the mug and the blade base or lid. These gaskets should not be removed. If the clear gasket becomes dislodged from the blender base or lid, replace by setting the gasket flat onto the circular slot inside the perimeter of the blade base (blade side up) or the lid. Holding the blade base (blade side up) or lid with both hands, use your thumbs to lightly push the gasket down into the circular slot of the base perimeter until it is firmly in place. Screw the mug onto the blade base or lid to ensure the gasket is seated properly.

1. Pulse the mixture 2 or 3 times by turning the dial to "PULSE."

2. Turn the dial on the motor base to "LOW" for 15 seconds to begin blending.

3. Turn the dial to "HIGH" until the ingredients are completely mixed. . Note: After running the motor continuously for ninety seconds, wait at least three minutes before running the motor again.

4. To make a thicker smoothie, add more frozen ingredients.

5. To make a thinner smoothie, add more liquid ingredients.

TO GO:

1. Unlock the mug from the motor base and then flip the mug over.
2. Turn the blade base counter-clockwise and remove it from the mug.
3. Place the mug lid on the mug and turn clockwise to tighten. Enjoy!

Note: Do not store contents inside of the mug with the lid on. Pressure may build up inside of the mug causing the contents to expand rapidly when the cover is removed.

1. Switch to "OFF" and unplug from the electrical outlet.
2. Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth or sponge. To remove stubborn spots, use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser.
3. Carefully wash all parts except for the motor base in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not wash parts in the dishwasher. Note: If the lid or blade base is difficult to remove from the mug, rinse or soak the mug and the blade base or lid in warm, soapy water. Then, using a damp cloth to grip the lid or blade base, unscrew from the mug by turning the lid or blade base counterclockwise.
