IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:
- Read all instructions.
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or a lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
- This appliance shall not be used by children. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not put the cord, plug, base, or motor in water or other liquids.
- Turn the appliance OFF, then unplug from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
- Avoid contact with moving parts.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged supply cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement and repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Call the provided customer service number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.
- The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer, may pose a risk of injury to persons.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
- Keep hands and utensils out of the jar and away from the cutting blade while blending or chopping food, to reduce the risk of severe personal injury and/ or damage to the blender or available attachments (attachments may not be provided with the blender). A rubber spatula may be used, but it must be used only when the blender is not running.
- Blades are sharp; handle carefully, especially when assembling, disassembling, or cleaning inside the blender jar.
- Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
- Do not use a broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.
- To reduce the risk of injury, never place the cutting blade assembly on the base without the blender jar or chopper bowl properly attached.
- Always operate the blender with the lid in place.
- Be careful if hot liquid is poured into the blender container, as it can be ejected out of the appliance due to sudden steam.
- When blending hot liquids, open the vent opening of the lid and close any openings intended for pouring. If pouring with the lid in place, ensure the hinged cap is securely in place. Hot liquids may push the lid off the jar during blending. To prevent possible burns: Do not fill the blender jar beyond the 3-cup (710-ml) level. With the protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on top of the lid. Keep exposed skin away from the lid. Start blending at the lowest speed.
- Ensure the collar on the base of the blender jar is tight and secure. Injury can result if the moving blades accidentally become exposed.
- If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched ON, switch OFF immediately and tighten the jar in the collar or on the blender base.
- Do not leave the blender unattended while it is operating.
- Check that the appliance is OFF before plugging the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn the control to OFF; then remove the plug from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
- Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended purpose.
- Be certain the lid is securely in position before operating the appliance.
- Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.
- CAUTION! In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
- If the blender contains a food chopper attachment, be certain the cover is securely locked in place before operating the appliance.
- To reduce the risk of injury, never place a chopping/mixing blade on the processor or chopper motor shaft without the bowl properly attached.
- Make sure the chopping/mixing blade has come to a full stop before removing the chopper lid.
- Be certain the lid is securely locked in place before operating the food chopper.
- The chopping/mixing blades are sharp. Handle carefully. Store out of reach of children.
- Never use the appliance for a longer period or with a larger amount of ingredients than recommended by the appliance manufacturer. See section titled “Food Processing Charts.”

Food Processing Chart
NOTE: Quantities listed above are the recommended maximum. Depending on the food type, smaller amounts may improve chopping
performance.
Using Food Chopper Attachment (Optional Accessory on Select Models)
WARNING: Cut Hazard.
Ensure the unit is off and unplugged before attaching the food chopper attachment. Do not plug in and turn on until the lid is in position and locked on top of the food chopper bowl.
Always turn off, unplug, and allow the blade to stop spinning before opening the lid.
Ensure the unit is in the off position before plugging it into the outlet.
Cleaning Your Blender
WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard.
Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse the cord, plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.
Wipe the blender base, control panel, and cord with a damp cloth or sponge. To remove stubborn spots, use a mild, nonabrasive cleanser.
DO NOT use the “SANI” setting when washing in the dishwasher. “SANI” cycle temperatures could damage your product. Parts may also be washed with hot, soapy water. Care should be taken when handling the cutting blade assembly as it is very sharp. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not soak.
EASY CLEAN
To Easy Clean, pour 2 cups (473 ml) warm water into a jar and add 1 drop liquid dishwashing detergent. Run the blender on EASYCLEAN for 10 seconds. Discard soapy water. Rinse with clean water.
This function is not a substitute for regular cleaning as instructed in “Cleaning Your Blender.” This function should never be used when blending any mixture containing eggs, milk, or any other dairy products, meats, or seafood.
The Easy Clean function should only be used to rinse the blender between batches of processing the same food. When the processing of a single type of food is finished, the blender should be disassembled and thoroughly cleaned as instructed in “Cleaning Your Blender.”
Blender Tips
- To add foods when the blender is operating, open the hinged pouring cap and add ingredients through the opening.
- For best performance, the minimum amount of liquid needed per recipe is one cup (8 ounces/237 ml). Add more liquid if the food is not blending properly.
- If the blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to the sides of the jar, there may not be enough liquid in the jar to blend efficiently.
- Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip egg whites, grind raw meat, or extract juices from fruits and vegetables.
- Do not store food or liquids in the blender jar.
- Avoid bumping or dropping the blender when in operation or at any time.
