• □ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
• □ Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts
and before cleaning.
• □ Avoid contacting moving parts.
• □ Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the
appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair,
or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free
number listed on the cover of this manual.
• □ The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold
by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
• □ Do not use outdoors.
• □ Do not let the plug or cord hang over the edge of table or counter.

concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This product is for household use only.
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.
ELECTRICAL CORD
The cord of this appliance was selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in or
tripping over a longer cord. If more length is needed, use an extension cord rated no
less than 15-amperes. (For 220 volts rated products, use an extension cord rated
no less than 6-amperes). When using an extension cord, do not let it drape over
the working area or dangle where someone could accidentally trip over it. Handle
cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it at outlet and appliance
connections.
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.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified
personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
• Cut food into pieces no larger than ¾” for use
in the blender.
• When preparing foods that have several different kinds of ingredients, always add liquid
ingredients first.
• When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar or the mixture is very thick, press the
PULSE/OFF button (
P
/ ) to turn appliance off. Remove the lid and use a rubber
spatula to scrape down the sides of the jar and to redistribute the food, pushing food toward
the blades. Replace the lid and continue blending.
Important: Appliance should always have lid in place when in use.
Caution: Do not place blender jar onto base when motor is running.
• The lid cap holds up to 2 oz. of liquid and can be used as a measure when adding
ingredients such as juices, milk, cream or liquor (E).
• When making bread crumbs, chopping nuts or grinding coffee beans, make sure blender jar
is completely dry.
• When using PULSE function (
P
), use short bursts. Allow the blades to stop rotating
between pulses. Do not use PULSE for more than 2 minutes.
• Use the PULSE/OFF button (
P
/ ) to begin the blending process when preparing
beverages that include ice cubes; this helps to produce a smoother
texture.
• The PULSE function (
P

bursts of power are needed, such as when preparing thick
smoothies or milkshakes, chopping nuts or grinding coffee beans.
• It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest
speed and then increase to a higher speed, if necessary.
• To stop blending at any time, press the PULSE/OFF
(
P
/ ) button.
• When blending hot ingredients, remove the lid cap and then put it back partly open, with the
opened side tilted away from you. Cover lid with a cloth to avoid splattering and only use the
lowest speed. Do not blend more than 2½ to 3 cups at a time (F).

P
/ ) regularly, allow the blender to rest briefly, then continue.
