SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Short Cord Instructions
1. A short power-supply cord is provided
to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
2. Longer extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
3. If a longer extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating
of the extension cord should
be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the
appliance.
b. The longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter top
or tabletop where it can be
pulled by children or tripped
over unintentionally.
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded while in use
to protect the operator from electrical shock.
The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor
cord and a 3-prong grounding-type plug to t
the proper grounding-type receptacle. The
appliance has a plug that looks like sketch
A. An adaptor, sketch B, should be used for
connecting sketch-A plug plugs to two-plugs
to two-prong receptacles. The grounding
tab, which extends from the adaptor, must be
connected to a permanent ground such as
a properly grounded outlet box as shown in
sketch C using a metal screw.
POWER CORD
The Power Cord is stored neatly at bottom of the base by three plastic tabs. To unravel the
cord for use twist the plastic tabs to the side until they no longer hold the cord in place.
This appliance is equipped with a short power cord to reduce the risk of becoming entangled
in or tripping over the cord. Longer extension cords may be used if the following steps are
followed with care:
1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as high as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
2. Take care that the cord and extension cord does not drape over the counter top where it
can be reached by children or tripped over.
OVERLOAD FAIL-SAFE
For safety, the core motor is equipped with a built in circuit breaker that will automatically shut
off in case of an electrical overload. To reset the unit after an automatic shut off, simply press
the circuit breaker reset button located on the bottom left of the back of the base.
The core motor is also equipped with a temperature guard system to prevent damage from
overheating and will automatically shut off if the temperature ever exceeds 250°F. The unit will
be ready to resume function as soon as the motor cools down.
Failure to follow any of these steps can void your warranty and create the risk of serious injury.

PARTS AND FEATURES
CONTAINER LID
The Aroma Professional Blender comes with a heat resistant, easy to clean lid with an opening
to accommodate the included Lid Cap, Funnel, and Tamper. To place the Container Lid on
the Container hold it by the Lid Tab. Insert that corner into the corner closets to the container
handle then press down on the remaining corners until the Container Lid is tightly secure. To
remove the Lid, hold the Container down while lifting the Lid Tab.
LID CAP
The Lid Cap features a unique cross-shaped design to allow for ventilation, making it safe to
use while blending hot liquids while preventing splashing or scalding. With the Container Lid
secure, insert the Lid Cap by tting the cross-shaped end into the opening and pressing down
until it is tightly secure. To remove, hold the Container Lid down with one hand while twisting
the Lid Cap until it is loose enough to remove.
FUNNEL
With the Container Lid secure, insert the narrow end of the funnel into the lid opening to make
it easier to pour liquids or ner foods into the Container without spilling.
TAMPER
Maneuver the Tamper through the opening of the Container Lid to press ingredients into the
blades.
• To avoid splashing, potential scalding from hot liquids, and other potentially
serious injuries, make sure the Lid is always on while the machine is running.
• Do not use the Tamper without the Container Lid to ensure that the Tamper does
not come in contact with the blades. Since the Tamper’s splash disc covers the
entire opening on the Container Lid, do not use it while blending hot foods, as this
can cause an unsafe build-up of pressure or steam.
WARNING

PARTS AND FEATURES
BLADES
The Aroma Professional Blender comes equipped with a unique set of powerful horn-shaped
serrated blades that are suitable for both wet and dry blending. They are made of 420-J2
stainless steel hardened with an electrolytic surface treatment and spin on two rust resistant
SUS 440 zinc alloy bearings.
CONTROL PANEL
A. MODE SWITCH: The Mode Switch has three positions: TIMING, OFF, and INFINITY. In
TIMING mode, the unit will run for the duration specied by the Preset Time Switch. In
INFINITY mode, the unit will continue to run until shut off manually. In OFF mode, the unit
will not start.
B. POWER KNOB: The Power Knob turns the unit on and allows the user to control the
speed of the blades from MIN to MAX. The Knob is only active if the Mode Switch is set
to either TIMING or INFINITY.
C. PRESET TIME SWITCH: The Preset Time Switch has three settings: 35 seconds, 60
seconds, and 120 seconds. When the Mode Switch is set to TIMING, the unit will run for
whichever duration the Preset Time Switch is set to.
• Blades are sharp and can cause serious injury. Do not put hands into the
Container while the blender is on or when the Container is on the base.
• For best results and safety, we recommend always setting the Mode Switch rst
before starting the blender using the Power Knob.

HOW TO BLEND WET
INGREDIENTS
1. Load ingredients into the Container. When pouring in liquids, the liquid level should
at minimum cover the blades. Cover with the Container Lid and secure the Lid Cap.
WARNING: To prevent overow, do not ll the container above the 6 cup line as the level
may increase during blending and from tamping.
2. Set the Container rmly on the Base.
3. Set the Mode Switch and, if necessary, the Time Switch.
4. Turn the Power Knob clockwise to turn on the blender. For best results, blend on MAX.
5. To add additional ingredients, remove the Lid Cap and add ingredients using the Funnel.
Once the contents are pureed, add water or ice until it reaches the desired volume and/
or thickness.
6. Turn the Power Knob counter-clockwise to turn off the blender, and then set the Mode
Switch to OFF.
7. Remove the Container from the Base, and the Container Lid from the Container. Pour the
contents from the Container, using the included Spatula to scrape out if necessary.
• When blending hot liquids, start on MIN before moving the speed up to avoid
potential burning or scalding from splashing. Beware of hot steam venting from
the opening of the Container Lid that can cause burns, even with the Lid Cap
in place.
• When making jam purées, fruits high in water content such as strawberries
do not need any additional water. Add sugar to the ingredients and blend on MAX
until pureed. Pour the contents into a double boiler and allow it to cook for 10 to
15 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.
