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:

1. Read all instructions before using this product.
2. To protect against electric shock, do not place or immerse the cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquids.
3. 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.
4. Never leave the appliance unattended when in use.
5. 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.
6. Avoid contacting moving parts.
7. 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.
8. For appliances with markings on plug blade: This appliance has important markings on the plug blade. The attachment plug or entire cordset (if plug is molded onto cord) is not suitable for replacement. If damaged, the appliance shall be replaced.
9. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the manufacturer, may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
10. Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.
11. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
12. 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.
13. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully, especially when removing the blades from the container, emptying the container, and during cleaning.
14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter-assembly blades on the base without the jar properly attached.
15. 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.
16. Always operate the blender with the cover in place. Always wait until all moving parts have stopped before removing any lid or cover.
17. When blending hot liquids, remove the center piece of the two-piece cover (if a two-piece cover is provided). Beware of steam. Do not blend boiling liquids.
18. 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:

1. 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.
2. 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:

1. 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.
2. To reduce the risk of injury, never place a cutting blade or discs on the base without first putting the container properly in place.
3. Be certain the cover is securely locked in place before operating the appliance.
4. For food processors: Never feed food by hand. Always use a food pusher.
5. Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.

3. Turn the blade assembly upside down and place it over the small jar opening.
4. Tighten the jar’s threaded bottom cap.

ADJUSTING THE JAR

• To adjust jar positioning, carefully place the assembled jar into the motor base, with the handle and jar stopper in front of the right break.
• Using the jar handle, turn the jar to the left as much as possible. This will ensure the bottom of the jar is properly adjusted.
• To operate the blender, place the assembled jar into the motor base with the jar stopper against the flat side of the motor base. If the jar stopper is not against the flat side of the right break, lift the jar and replace the stopper against the flat side of the left break. Put the jar firmly in place and operate the blender.
• To remove the jar, lift it straight up. (If the jar cannot be removed easily, gently twist it from side to side and lift it; do not turn.) If the bottom of the jar cannot be released by hand, place the assembled jar into the motor base, with the jar handle in front of the left side break. Using the handle, turn the jar to the right until the bottom of the jar is released. Do not attempt to place or remove the jar from the motor base while the motor is running. ALWAYS HOLD THE JAR WITH ONE HAND WHILE POWERING ON YOUR BLENDER!

HOW DOES YOUR OSTER® BLENDER WORK

Your OSTER® blender is a multiple-speed electrical appliance that operates at a wide range of speeds—from lowest to highest. This speed range makes food preparation quick and easy. In addition, your OSTER® blender has two different operation modes:

1. CONTINUOUS to blend, mix, and finely chop.
2. BLEND CONTROL CYCLE, used to grind chopped food, such as chopped vegetables, nuts, or cheese. There are different ways to operate the BLEND CONTROL CYCLE, but they are all related to activating the blender motor at intervals, alternating between on and off. During the “on” position of the cycle, food is ground and moved away from the blades. During the “off” position of the cycle, food is replaced over the blades to smooth out processing.

NOTE: One cycle includes operating the blender for about 2 seconds and then allowing the blades to come to a complete stop.

SPEED SELECTION

PULSE FUNCTION

1. Press and hold the PULSE button for the desired length of time.
2. Release the PULSE button and allow blades to stop. Repeat cycle as needed.

NOTE: One cycle includes operating the blender for about 2 seconds and then allowing the blades to come to a complete stop.

ICE-CRUSHING FUNCTION

1. Press and hold the ice-crushing function for the desired length of time.
2. Release the button and allow the blades to stop. Repeat cycle as needed.

NOTE: One cycle includes operating the blender for about 2 seconds and then allowing the blades to come to a complete stop.

SPEED CHART

In the chart below, you will find a typical application, which will serve as a guide to using your blender. (Follow the chart matching model/number of speeds of your blender.)

BLENDING TIPS

1. Always place liquids in a jar first, unless the recipe indicates otherwise.
2. To crush ice: Crush 6 ice cubes or about 2 cups of ice at a time.
3. Do not remove the lid while the appliance is running. Remove the filler cap to add smaller ingredients.
4. Cut all firm fruits and vegetables, cooked meats, fish, and seafood into pieces of no more than 1/2 in. to 1 in. Cut all types of cheeses into pieces of no more than 1/2 in.
5. This blender does not puree, does not whisk egg whites or egg substitutes for spreads, does not knead dough, and does not cut raw meats. Be careful when pouring hot liquids into a food processor or blender, as hot liquids may pop out of the appliance due to a sudden burst of steam.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

PLEASE NOTE: UNPLUG MOTOR BASE BEFORE CLEANING. NEVER IMMERSE THE BLENDER IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID. Wash the blender’s outside surface with a damp, soft sponge using mild soap. All parts, except the motor base, may be washed in a dishwasher. Pull apart the sealing ring and threaded bottom cap to clean. Hold the sealing ring with both hands and pull down over the threaded bottom cap using both your thumbs. Sealing ring and threaded bottom cap may be washed in dishwasher top rack ONLY. You may also wash all parts with warm, soapy water.

STORING YOUR APPLIANCE

After cleaning, reassemble the jar with the blade, sealing ring, and threaded bottom cap. Store the blender, leaving a gap between the lid and the jar to prevent container odors.
