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 before using this product.
• To protect against electric shock, do not place or immerse the cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
• This appliance is not intended for use by children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or a lack of experience and knowledge. 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. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when in use.
• Unplug from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. To disconnect, turn any control to OFF, then unplug the power cord from the outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
• Avoid contacting moving parts.
• Flashing light indicates ready to operate. Avoid any contact with blades or movable parts.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Do not attempt to replace or splice a damaged cord. Return appliance to the manufacturer (see warranty) for examination, repair, or adjustment.
• This appliance has important markings on the plug blade. The attachment plug is not suitable for replacement. If damaged, the appliance shall be replaced.
• The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the manufacturer, may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
• Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.
• 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 container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. A scraper may be used, but it must be used only when the blender is not running.
• Blades are sharp. Handle carefully, especially when removing the blades from the container, emptying the container, and during cleaning.
• To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter-assembly blades on the base without the jar properly attached.
• Always hold the container while operating the appliance. If the container should turn when the motor is turned ON, switch the appliance OFF immediately and tighten the container in the threaded bottom.
• Always operate the blender with the cover in place. Always wait until all moving parts have stopped before removing any lid or cover.
• When blending hot liquids, remove the center piece of the two-piece cover. Beware of steam. Do not blend boiling liquids.
• Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use. Misuse can cause injuries. Always use the appliance on a dry, stable, level surface. Never fill beyond the MAX fill line.

For containers with no lids or vents (when inserted in the blender), such as personal Blend and Go containers:

• Do not blend carbonated, hot, or boiling liquids and ingredients, as this may create pressure buildup. Only blend non-carbonated liquids and ingredients that are at room temperature or cooler. If the container is warm to the touch, allow it to cool before opening.
• Do not use the blender for longer than 1 minute at a time to avoid heat and pressure buildup. Allow to cool for 1 minute between cycles.

For appliances with food processor or food chopper attachments:

• Keep hands and utensils away from moving blades or discs while processing or chopping food to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the food processor or chopper. A scraper may be used, but it must be used only when the food processor or chopper is not running.
• To reduce the risk of injury, never place a cutting blade or discs on the base without first putting the container properly in place.
• Be certain the cover is securely locked in place before operating the appliance.
• For food processors: Never feed food by hand. Always use a food pusher.
• Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.

Blending Tips

• Put liquids in the Blender Jar first, unless a recipe says otherwise.
• Crushing ice: Crush 6 ice cubes or approximately 2 cups of ice. Cover ice with about 1 cup or 0.236 liters of water for the best results.
• Do not remove the Blender Lid while in use. Remove the filler cap to add smaller ingredients. (Figure 7)
• Cut all firm fruits and vegetables, cooked meats, fish, and seafood into pieces no larger than 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) to 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cut all kinds of cheeses into pieces no larger than 3/4 inch (1.9 cm).
• This Blender will not mash potatoes, whip egg whites, or substitute dairy toppings, mix stiff dough, or grind raw meat.

Ice Crushing

• Without Liquid: Use the Pulse button until you achieve the desired results.
• With Liquid: Add the desired amount of ice cubes and water until the ice floats. Blend on High until you achieve the desired results, then strain off the water.

Hot Foods

• Open the Filler Cap to vent steam. Tilt the Filler Cap away from you. Keep your hands away from the cover opening to prevent possible burns.
• When working with hot liquids, remove the Filler Cap and start blending at a low speed. Then move to a faster speed. DO NOT add liquid over the 4 cup (0.946 liter) level.

Cleaning Your Blender

WARNING: Unplug before cleaning. Do not immerse the blender base in water or any other liquid.

Use a damp, soft sponge with mild detergent to clean the outside of the Blender Base. All parts except for the Blender Base are dishwasher-safe. Place the Sealing Ring in the bottom basket of the dishwasher. You can also wash the parts in warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry.

Easy Clean Feature

Quickly and conveniently clean the Blender Jar between uses without removing the blade from the jar.

• Pour 3 cups (0.709 liter) of warm water into the Blender Jar.
• Add 1–2 drops of liquid dishwashing detergent.
• Select Low speed.
• Run the blender for 20–30 seconds, then press the Power Button.
• Empty the jar of soapy water into the sink and rinse the Blender Jar thoroughly with clean water.

NOTE: Easy clean is not a substitute for regular cleaning described in the “Cleaning Your Blender” section above. It is especially important to disassemble and thoroughly clean your blender when processing milk, meats, seafood, and eggs.

NOTE: This appliance has no user-serviceable parts. Any servicing beyond that described in the Cleaning Section should be performed by an Authorized Service Representative only. See the warranty available online.

Storing Your Blender

After cleaning and drying, reassemble the Blade System to the Blender Jar with the Sealing Ring and Blender Jar Bottom Cap. Store the blender with the cover ajar to prevent container odor.
