IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS CAUTION: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following: Read all instructions. Do not use for commercial purposes. The manufacturer will not accept responsibility for any inappropriate use or failure to comply with the instructions, and the warranty will be voided as a result. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the motor base in water or other liquid. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised or receive instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Never use unauthorized accessories that are not supplied by the local agent.

Do not leave the appliance running unattended. Before connecting the appliance, check if the voltage indicated on the appliance (AC120V) corresponds to the local voltage. Always unplug the appliance when not in use or before cleaning. Always unplug the appliance before you assemble, disassemble or move the blender or its accessories. Always unplug the appliance if the blades get stuck. Always place the appliance on a flat and stable work surface. Do not move the appliance during operation. Avoid contacting moving parts. Do not operate any appliance that has a damaged cord or plug, or after the ap- pliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer at their customer service telephone number for in- formation on examination, repair, or adjustment. The use of attachments, including canning jars, is not recommended by the manufacturer and may cause injuries. Do not use outdoors. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter. Do not use to stir hot liquids.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY Polarization: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. WARNING Do not blend non-food items. Do not use the blender to blend hard food, like bones, as this could damage the blades. Do not add hot ingredients over 40ºC / 104ºF. Always properly fasten the blade unit into the bottle before blending. To reduce the risk of injury, never place the blade unit on the motor base without the bottle securely fastened. Do not exceed the maximum level indicated on the bottle. Do not use the appliance for prolonged periods of time. Do not put the bottle, blade unit, lid, motor base, or any of the parts in a microwave oven. Do not touch any moving parts during operation. To reduce the risk of severe personal injury or damage to the device, keep hands and utensils away from the cutting blades while blending food. A scraper may be used, but only when the blender is not running. Do not leave the unit unattended while in use. Do not use the unit in the presence of children without adult supervision.

WARNING This device must not be used by children. Make sure the device and the power cord are out of reach of children. This unit can be used by individuals with mental, physical and / or sensory-af- fected abilities, as long as they have been trained on its use and are fully aware of the risks involved in its use. To prevent overheating, do not operate the unit continuously for more than 2 cycles of 30 continuous seconds each. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before using it again. After two cycles, allow the unit to cool completely before using it again. To reduce the risk of injury and leakage, make sure the blade unit is securely screwed onto the bottle before placing it onto the motor base and operating the appliance. Do not use the unit outdoors if exposed to inclement weather, such as rain or other wet conditions. Blades are sharp; handle carefully. Check that the clear sealing ring is placed properly around the blade assembly and that the blade assembly is completely placed inside the threaded base unit before each use. Bottles, motor base and all accessories are not suitable for use in the micro- wave and may result in damage to the appliance. Do not mix or blend carbonated beverages. Built-up pressure from released gases can cause container to burst, resulting in possible injury. Do not put hot liquids or hot food in any of the blending bottles before blend- ing. Start with cool or room temperature ingredients. Due to the friction of the blades, heated ingredients can create internal pressure in a sealed blending bottle, which may erupt upon opening and cause thermal injury.

Do not run the unit with empty bottles, since this can damage the unit. Friction from rotating blades can cause ingredients to heat and generate internal pressure in the sealed bottle. Do not operate continuously for more than 30 seconds. If the bottle is warm to the touch, allow it to cool before carefully opening it, pointed away from your body. Never permit any blended mixture to sit inside a sealed bottle without first releasing the internal pressure. Do not allow blended mixtures to sit for long periods in a sealed container. Sugars in fruits and vegetables can ferment, causing pressure to build up and expand in the bottle which, in turn, can cause ingredients to burst and spray out when the bottle is moved or opened. Never use the blade unit to blend without liquid. The blades will get damaged. The unit is not intended to be used as an ice crusher, or without liquids. To mix a delicious cold smoothie, we recommend you to use frozen fruit and chilled liquids. Never remove the bottle/blade unit from the motor base before the motor comes to a complete stop. Removing the bottle/blade unit while the motor base is still running may cause damage to the blade coupling or motor gear. To stop the motor, stop pressing the bottle. For more safety, unplug the unit and then lift the bottle to unscrew the threaded base unit by turning it counterclockwise. WARNING Specifications:

INGREDIENTS TO BLEND WITH WATER / JUICE

Ice cubes only Meat / Fish only Sticky Ingredients Bread Dough - Egg whites Dry Ingredients Your personal blender is not an ice crusher, and it is not intended to crush ice without water or juice. Recommended ice cube size is around 2 cm / 3/4 inch or around 30 gr / 1oz max. It is not meant for chopping or grinding meat or fish. Example: red beans and boiled potatoes… Do not use the personal blender to beat egg whites or kneading bread dough. Example: cheese, dry seaweed, ginseng, sesame, coffee beans, almonds.10

2 - Screw the blade unit, making sure it

is screwed properly onto the bottle.

3 - Place the motor base on a flat

surface where the suction feet can attach firmly.

4 - Turn the bottle upside down and

place it onto the motor base.

1 - Prepare the ingredients according to

the recipe. We suggest ingredients be cut into small pieces, no larger than 3/4 inch. For best results, use a proportion of 40% liquid and 60% fruit, vegetable, ice… Add the ingredients to the bottle in the following order: A. Ice cubes B. Ingredients with little water content (apples, carrots, bananas…) C. Green vegetables D. Ingredients with more water content (oranges, grapefruit…) E. Liquid (water – milk – juice…)

5 – Plug-in the motor base into an elec- trical outlet.

6 - Capable of 2 function modes:

One-touch pulse mode or press down for continuous blending operation. We recommend the pulse action for better results.

8 - Lift up the bottle and turn it upside

down. Continuous blending for a period of more than 30 seconds is not recom- mended. We recommend blending by PULSE actions several times for best results. Do not move the motor base during the blending process. Make sure the suction feet are well attached to a surface. Do not tilt the bottle during blending. If the ingredients are stuck at the top of the bottle, lift up the bottle and shake it to mix the ingredients. Lift up the bottle only when the motor rota- tion has stopped. The blades could continue in motion for a few seconds, even when the motor base has stopped. Do not touch the blades with bare hands. Store the blade unit in a safe place. Unplug from power supply after use. Caution: Caution:

7 - Stop pressing the bottle to stop the

it, then screw the lid onto the bottle for storage or drinking on the go. Always unplug the personal blender when cleaning or assembling. Immediately after use, rinse the threaded base unit with the blade assembly and the bottles to prevent debris from drying and sticking to the bottles – if necessary, use a dish brush to loosen any debris. Hand wash the threaded base unit with the blade assembly only with mild dish soap and warm water (not hot). Dry immediately. For tough debris, fill the bottles 1/2 full with warm (not hot) and mild soapy water. Then, simply twist-on the blade unit and give it a shake for 30-45 seconds. Follow up with a quick brushing. Do not put the threaded base unit and the blade assembly in the dishwasher as high temperature can damage the gaskets. Simply hand wash with warm, mild soapy water. The blender bottles may be washed on the top rack of the dishwasher only in the normal cycle. CLEANING SAFEGUARDS

• 13 CLEANING SAFEGUARDS

The blender bottles and threaded base unit should not be immersed in boiling water for any reason, as this will warp the plastic and damage the gaskets. The blade unit (threaded base unit and blade assembly) can be disassem- bled on occasion for deep cleaning. To remove the blade assembly from the threaded base unit, simply hold the threaded base unit with both hands and push hard on the drive coupler with both thumbs, and the blade assembly will snap out of the threaded base unit. Be careful, as the blades are sharp (fig 1). Remove the clear sealing ring from around the blade assembly for cleaning (fig 2). Wash the blade assembly only under running water. Do not place in dishwasher (fig 3 & fig 4). Air dry the threaded base unit, the clear sealing ring, and the blade assembly. Once air dried, reassemble as per above assembly instructions. Fig: 1 Fig: 2 Fig: 3 Fig: 414 CLEANING SAFEGUARDS For the most part the motor base doesn’t really get dirty, but if you neglect to twist the blade unit onto the bottle tightly, liquids can leak out and get into the base and activator buttons. Here’s how to clean it up. Step 1: The most important thing is to first unplug the motor base. Step 2: Use a soft damp cloth with mild detergent to clean the motor base. Do not use bleach or strong chemical detergents.

• Never immerse the motor base in water or place it in the dishwasher or under running water.

• Handle the blades with extreme care, as the sharp blades could cut your fingers. Never use your fingers or other objects to press the activator buttons down while the motor base is plugged-in.15 Last Name: First Name: Address Male Female City, State, Zip: Age: Email: Phone: EuroCuisine Product Purchased: Model #: Purchase Date: Purchase Price: Purchased At: Specialty Store Online Department Store Mail Order Other Gift REGISTRATION CARD Congratulations on your selection of a quality household appliance from Euro-Cuisine.
