CAUTION
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.
Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other); follow the instructions
below:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a
similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

FILTERS
Your Aroma Professional blender comes with two filters: a Fine Filter (thin
mesh) for ingredients with high fiber content, and a Coarse Filter (wide mesh)
for filtering pulp from juices.
Insert a Filter by sliding the narrow end into the slot on the inside of the
Container on the side of the pouring spout with the curve of the Filter
matching the curve of the Container.
REMOVABLE SPOUT
A Removable Spout can be attached to the drain at the side of the
Container for easy dispensing of juice blends.
To attach the Removable Spout, first remove Drain Cap from drain from
the side of the Container by unscrewing it. Screw the pipe end of the
Removable Spout over the drain until it stops turning.
To dispense, place a cup or bowl underneath the opening and pull up
on the lever on the Removable Spout until it locks in place. To stop
dispensing, simply push the lever back into its original position.
TIP: For best results, operate the Removable Spout while the blender is still running, as the
pressure from the blending helps with the flow.

LOCKING CONTAINER LID
The Aroma Professional blender comes with a heat resistant, easy to
clean lid with an opening to accommodate the included Lid Cap and
Funnel. To place the Container Lid on the Container properly, first ensure
that the lever on the Container Lid is in the unlocked position. Align the
jutted corner of the Container Lid with the pour spout on the Container
and press down firmly.
To lock the Container Lid in place, first ensure that the
Container is secured properly on the Base with the handle
on the side with the Arrow Marker. Rotate the lever on the
Container Lid counter-clockwise until it slides all the way into
the slot on the Safety Mechanism and locks in place.
To remove the Container Lid, rotate the lever clockwise to
unlock. While holding the Container down in place by the
handle, lift the Container Lid by the jutted corner.
LID CAP
The Lid Cap features wide and narrow ends to accommodate use both directly with the
Container Lid and through the included Funnel. With the Container Lid secure, insert the Lid
Cap directly by fitting the wide 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 opening to make it
easier to pour liquids or finer foods into the Container without spilling. To fit the Lid Cap in over
the Funnel, simply insert the narrow end into the opening.
BLADES
The Aroma Professional blender comes equipped with a unique cow-horn shaped set of
powerful serrated blades made of SUS420 stainless steel. Keep the blades clean and dry when
not in use to prevent rust.
