Frequently Asked Questions - 450-10 OSTER

Can I crush ice with the Oster 450-10 blender?

Yes, the blender is equipped with an ice crushing blade and a powerful motor. For best results, use the Pulse or Ice Crush function. Do not overload the jar with too much ice.

How do I clean the blender?

Separate all jar parts and wash them thoroughly in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry well. Do not wash any parts in an automatic dishwasher. The motor base should only be wiped with a damp cloth after unplugging. Never immerse the base in water.

Can I blend hot liquids?

Yes, but with caution. Remove the feeder cap from the two-piece cover. Do not fill beyond the 4-cup level (or 5-cup on 6-cup models). Always start at the lowest speed and keep hands away from the cover opening to avoid burns.

What is the warranty period for the Oster 450-10?

The blender comes with a 1-year limited warranty from the date of purchase. It covers defects in material and workmanship. Keep the original sales receipt as proof of purchase.

How do I assemble the blender jar correctly?

Turn the jar upside down, place the sealing ring on the jar opening, then insert the blade assembly (sharp side down). Screw on the threaded jar bottom firmly. Always tighten the jar onto the motor base by turning the handle to the left until it stops.

Can I use the blender to grind coffee beans or spices?

Yes, but use a Mini Jar or a 5-cup glass jar for coffee beans or cereal grains. For whole spices and hard cheese, use only a glass blender jar. Avoid using plastic mini jars for hard spices as they may break.

Why does the blender jar sometimes get stuck on the base?

If the jar is difficult to remove, rock it gently and lift straight up – do not twist. To loosen a tight jar bottom, place the assembled jar on the base with the handle in front of the left stop and turn the handle to the right.

What should I do if the motor stalls or stops?

Turn off the blender immediately and unplug it. Remove a portion of the load before restarting. The motor can be overloaded; avoid extra-heavy or large loads. If the motor continues to stall, consult an Authorized Service Center.

Can I use an extension cord with this blender?

KNOWING YOUR OSTERIZER® BLENDER

COVER

The cover for your OSTERIZER® Blender consists of two parts, the plastic feeder cap and the vinyl cover. The cover is self-sealing, and is made of vinyl which is resistant to absorption of odors and stains. The feeder cap is removable for use as a measuring cup and provides an opening for the addition of other ingredients.

JAR

The jar for the Blender is graduated for easy measurement and is molded of heat and cold resistant material. The convenient handle and pouring lip permit easy removal of liquid mixtures while thicker mixtures are more easily removed through the bottom opening.

PROCESSING ASSEMBLY

The processing assembly consists of three parts: a sealing ring used as a cushion between the jar and the blade; a blade of high-grade stainless steel; a threaded jar bottom.

MOTOR AND MOTOR BASE

The powerful multi-speed motor is the heart of the appliance and is designed just for this unit. It is completely enclosed within the housing. The motor uses a “free-floating” feature to reduce noise and wear. This allows the square post which protrudes from the motor base to move slightly from side to side. The powerful food processing motor can be overloaded. To avoid this possibility, closely follow the instructions in this book.

ASSEMBLING YOUR BLENDER

CAUTION: Follow these important steps to assemble, tighten, and mount Blender jar quickly and correctly. INJURY MAY RESULT IF MOVING BLADES ARE EXPOSED.

1. Turn jar upside down so the small opening is at the top.

2. Place sealing ring on jar opening.

1. Turn the blade blades upside down and place in mouth of jar.

2. Thread jar bottom to jar.

TIGHTENING THE JAR

A. To tighten jar bottom, put assembled jar securely into motor base ring with handle and lug in front of the right stop.
B. Using jar handle, turn jar to the left as far as possible. This insures that the jar bottom is tightened properly.
C. To operate Blender, place assembled jar in motor base ring with jar lug against flat side of the motor base stop. If jar lug does not rest against flat side of right stop, remove jar assembly and place against flat side of left stop. Seat jar firmly and operate.
D. To remove jar, lift straight up. (If it is not easily removed, rock gently and lift up, do not twist). If jar bottom cannot be loosened by hand, place assembled jar into motor base ring with handle in front of left side stop. Using handle, turn jar to right until jar bottom loosens.

HOW YOUR OSTERIZER® BLENDER WORKS

Your OSTERIZER® Blender is a multi-speed appliance which operates on a wide range of speeds from very slow to very fast. This range of speeds makes food preparation fast and easy.

In addition, your OSTERIZER® Blender has two distinct methods of operation:

1. CONTINUOUS run for blending, liquefying and fine chopping.
2. CONTROLLED CYCLE BLENDING, used for chopping pieces of food, such as vegetables, nuts or cheeses. There are several different ways of operating the CONTROLLED CYCLE / BLENDING CYCLE feature, but all involve turning the motor "ON" and "OFF" intermittently. When "ON," food is chopped and tossed away from the blades. When "OFF," the food is distributed around the blades to make processing more uniform.

NOTE: A cycle consists of operating the blender for about two seconds and then allowing the blades to coast to a stop.

USING YOUR OSTERIZER® BLENDER

DIAL MODELS

1. Turn dial to desired speed and blend ingredients to desired consistency.
2. Turn dial to the off "O" position to stop the blender and turn blender off.
3. To use the PULSE function:

a. For models with 3 speeds:

• To use PULSE if dial is on the off to the left of the dial position, turn dial to speed I for a brief desired length of time and turn it right back to the off "O" position.
• To use PULSE if dial is on the off position on the right of the dial turn dial to speed III for a brief desired length of time and turn it right back to the off "O" position.

b. For models with 2 speeds:

• To use PULSE if dial is on the off to the left of the dial position, turn dial to speed I for a brief desired length of time and turn it right back to the off "O" position.

• To use PULSE if dial is on the off position on the right of the dial turn dial to speed II for a brief desired length of time and turn it right back to the off "O" position.

• Repeat cycle as desired.

TOGGLE MODELS

1. Push switch up and blend ingredients to desired consistency.
2. Push switch to the off "O" position to stop the blender and turn blender off.
3. To use PULSE, push switch down for desired length of time.
4. Release PULSE and allow blade to stop. Repeat cycle as desired.

CARE AND CLEANING

Blender jar parts are corrosion resistant, sanitary and easily cleaned. Before first use and after every use, separate jar parts and clean thoroughly in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry well. DO NOT WASH ANY PARTS IN AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.

Periodically check all parts before re-assembly. If the processing blades are stuck or difficult to turn, DO NOT USE BLENDER. Check by carefully turning the blades in a counterclockwise direction (opposite edges are sharp). Blades should turn freely.

If the jar is chipped or cracked, DO NOT USE BLENDER. Further use could result in the jar breaking during use. Use only OSTERIZER® Blender recommended replacement parts available at an Authorized Service Center.

USE OF DAMAGED OR NON-RECOMMENDED PARTS COULD RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE BLENDER.

See Page 4 for proper jar assembly and user instructions.

NEVER IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER. The housing can be cleaned with a damp cloth (unplug first). The motor is permanently lubricated and does not require any additional lubrication. ANY SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE FACILITY.

DO'S AND DON'Ts

Do's:

• Use only the line voltage and frequency as specified on the bottom of the Blender.
• Always operate Blender on a clean, dry surface to prevent air from carrying foreign material or water into the motor.
• Put liquid portions of recipes into Blender jar first unless the instructions in recipes specify otherwise.
• Cut all firm fruits and vegetables, cooked meats, fish and seafoods into pieces no larger than 3/4 inch/1.8 cm to 1 inch/2.5 cm. Cut all kinds of cheeses into pieces no larger than 3/4 inch/1.8 cm.
• Use rubber spatula to push ingredients to be chopped into liquid portion of recipe ONLY when motor is OFF.
• Place cover firmly on Blender jar before starting, and rest hand on the jar cover when starting and running motor.
• Remove heavy dips and spreads, nut butters, mayonnaise and products of similar consistency by removing the processing assembly and pushing the mixture out through the bottom opening into serving dishes or storage jar.
• Pour mixture of liquid or semi-liquid consistency, such as muffin and cake batter, from Blender jar.
• Allow cooked vegetables and broth to cool before pouring into Blender jar for processing.
• If the motor seems to labor when processing at one of the lower speeds, switch to the next higher speed to prevent overloading the motor.
• Use a Mini Jar or 5-cup/1.2 liter blender jar to process citrus rind, coffee beans or cereal grains. Use only glass Blender jar to process whole spices and hard cheese.

Don'ts:

• Do Not expect your Blender to replace all of your kitchen appliances. It will not: mash potatoes, whip egg whites or substitutes for dairy toppings, grind raw meat, knead or mix stiff dough or extract juices from fruits and vegetables.
• Do Not process mixtures too long. Remember, the Blender performs its tasks in seconds, not minutes. It is better to stop and check the consistency after a few seconds than to overblend and have a mushy or too finely ground product.
• Do Not overload the motor with extra-heavy or extra-large loads. If the motor stalls, turn off immediately, unplug cord from outlet and remove a portion of the load before beginning again.
• Do Not attempt to remove Blender jar from motor base or replace it until the motor has come to a complete stop. Blender parts can be damaged.
• Do Not remove jar cover while processing, as food spillage can occur. Use feeder cap opening to add ingredients.
• Do Not place or store processing assembly on motor base without first correctly assembling to Blender jar. Severe injury can result if Blender is accidentally turned on.
• Do Not use any utensil, including spatulas, in the jar while the motor is running. They can catch in the moving blades, break the jar and cause severe injury.
• Do Not use ANY jar not recommended by the manufacturer for processing foods. Other jars may break or loosen during processing and cause severe injury.
• Do Not use Mini Jars for processing whole spices (except peppercorns) or hard cheeses, as they can break the Mini Jars and cause injury.
