IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be fol-
lowed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, including the following:

4
POLARIZED PLUG (120V models only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). 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.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent
removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt
to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should
be done only by authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long detachable extension cord is used:
a) The marked electrical rating of the power cord or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
b) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord.
c) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed
in these instructions.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

BLENDER JAR ASSEMBLY
1. Turn blending jar upside down and place flat on countertop or work surface.
2. Place the gasket against the glass jar.
Important: Gasket MUST be between the jar and blade assembly or the blender will not function
properly.
3. Place the blade assembly, blade first, into the jar. (A).
4. Place jar base onto jar and rotate clockwise until it is tight (B).
5. Turn assembled jar right side up.
6. Place lid with lid cap onto blending jar.
Note: Do not plug in the cord.
7. Place on base, making sure it is pressed firmly
into place. (Jar base should not extend more than 1⁄8-inch
above the rim at the top of the base.)
USING YOUR BLENDER
1. Make sure appliance is OFF.
2. Place foods to be blended into jar.
3. Place lid on jar; make sure lid cap is in place.
4. Plug power cord into outlet.
Note: When in use, do not leave blender unattended. When using hard
foods, such as ice, cheese, nuts and coffee beans, keep one hand on the lid
to keep blender in place.
5. Press the High or Low button; then select the speed that best suits your
desired task. To switch speeds, press the High or Low button and the
new speed desired. (See SPEED CHART on page 8.)

milkshakes press the Pulse button several times to begin the blending
process. Use Pulse for no more than 5 seconds at a time, allowing the blender to rest briefly
between each pulse, for no more than 2 minutes total. This helps break up the ice and distribute
the ingredients.
7. Open the lid cap to add ingredients while the blender is running and drop
ingredients through the opening (C).
Important: Do not remove the lid while the blender is running.
8. When finished, press the Pulse/Off button. Make sure blades have

• Cut food into pieces no larger than 3/4 inch for use in the blender.
• When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar or the mixture is very
thick, press the OFF button to turn appliance off. Remove the lid and use
a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the jar. Replace the lid and
continue blending.
Important: Blender should always have lid in place when in use.
Caution: Do not place blending jar on base when motor is running.
• The lid cap holds up to 11/2 oz. liquid and can be used as a measure when
adding ingredients (D).
• When making bread crumbs, chopping nuts or grinding coffee beans
make sure blending jar is completely dry. Do not run for longer than 30
seconds.
• The PULSE function is helpful when short bursts of power are needed
such as when preparing thick smoothies or
milkshakes, chopping nuts or grinding coffee
beans, or preparing beverages that include ice
cubes.
• Start blending on the lowest speed and then
increase to a higher speed, if necessary.
• To stop blending, press the OFF button at any
time.
• When blending hot liquids always let them cool at least 5 minutes before
blending. Before blending, remove the lid cap and put it back with
the opened side tilted away from you. Cover lid with a cloth to avoid
splattering and only use lowest speed. Do not blend more than 2 1/2 to 3
cups at a time.
• Blender not recommended for hard foods such as raw turnips, bones,
hard salami or sausages and boiling liquids.
• Not recommended for whipping cream, beating egg whites, mixing
dough, mashing potatoes, grinding meats or extracting juice.
