    The stove.
12. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
13. 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.

15. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
16. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blades.

IMPORTANT: Your Blender Jar and Cutting Blade Assembly are subject to wear during normal use. Always inspect the Blender Jar for nicks, chips, or cracks. Always inspect
Cutting Blade Assembly for broken, cracked, or loose blades. If Blender Jar or CCuttingTheThe
Blade Assembly is damaged; do not use. Call our customer service number to obtain
replacement parts.

1. Make sure Blender is unplugged. Place the Base on a clean, dry surface to keep foreign particles from being pulled up into the motor during operation.
2. Place the Cutting Blade Assembly, blade side up, through the opening in the Blender Jar before twisting the collar onto the bottom of the jar. Place the Blender Jar on the Base.

4. Place the Lid onto the Blender Jar. Push the desired function button. Blender speed increases
   As buttons are pushed left to right. When using the PULSE button, Blender will operate as long as the button is pressed. The remaining speed buttons will run Blender until the OFF button is pressed. IMPORTANT: Do not operate your Blender continuously for long periods exceeding 3 minutes. If you start to smell a burning odor, stop immediately and remove the Blender Jar. Start and run the Blender— Base ONLY with NO Blender Jar—on the highest speed for 2 minutes.

When blending hot liquids, remove the filler cap of the two-piece Lid or open the vent opening of the Lid with a mess-free spout, and close any Lid openings along the edge intended for pouring. Hot liquids may push the Lid off the Blender 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.

Blending Tips for the 20-oz (591 ml) Personal Jar

• If the blending action does not start, stops during blending, or ingredients stick to
  the sides of the Personal Jar, turn the Blender OFF. Remove Personal Jar, shake contents, and return to blending.
• For best performance in the 20-oz (591 ml) Personal Jar, the minimum amount of liquid needed per recipe is 3/4 cup (6 ounces [177 ml]).

• When turned upside down to blend, the frozen items will be on top.
• Do not chop or process hard foods such as cheese, crackers, or meat.

• Do not fill the Personal Jar above the MAX fill line.
