1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put Blender in water or other liquid.

3. 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 closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. 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.

9. Keep hands and utensils, other than the tamper provided, out of the container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. The cover must remain in place when using the tamper through the cover opening. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the blender is not running.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

MOTOR HORSEPOWER

Motor horsepower for the blender motor was measured using a dynamometer, a machine that laboratories routinely use to measure the mechanical power of motors. Our 3.0 peak horsepower (HP) motor reference reflects the horsepower output of the motor itself and not the Blender's horsepower output in the blender jar. As with any blender, the power output in the jar is not the same as the horsepower of the motor itself.

GETTING STARTED

First, clean all parts and accessories (see "Care and Cleaning" section). Place the blender in a dry and clean area.

Problem Solution
Status indicator light is off while unit is plugged in and On/Off switch is in On position:	After 10 minutes of no activity, the blender will go into Sleep mode. Flip START/STOP toggle switch up or down to bring the blender back into Standby mode.
Status indicator light is flashing orange color:	Indicates error mode. This can be caused by: using a spatula or any other utensil that could obstruct the blade to freely spin, or having an ice cube or hard food in a location that locks up the blade.Unplug the blender and remove the jar from the base, and clear the items. Place the jar back on the base, and then turn on the blender to continue regular use.
Blender stops after continuously running for 6 minutes:	This is normal operation for variable speed functions.Refer to “Blender function guide” for details.
Blender stops while blending:	If blender stops prior to the completion of the selected function, contact an authorized service center for assistance.
If the ingredients of a recipe aren’t blending:	An air pocket can be created around the blade causing the ingredients to miss the blade. Use the tamper to push ingredients down into the blade. Refer to “Using the commercial blender” section. For certain recipes, adding more liquid may also assist in incorporating the ingredients.
Blender jar overflows:	Unplug and remove the jar pad from the housing to make sure the base is fully dry. The control dial can be detached by pulling it off with force. Wipe dry, and then replace it back.
Troubleshooting does not solve the problem:	See the “Warranty and service” section. Contact an Authorized Service Center for assistance.Do not return the Blender to the retailer – retailers do not provide service.
