lifting straight up and away. Twist off the locking
ring by turning counter-clockwise. Remove the
cutting assembly and rubber gasket. Wash in
warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Place
the locking ring in the upper rack of the
dishwasher or wash in warm water.

carefully. It is SHARP and may cause injury.
Do not attempt to remove blades from
cutting assembly.

pour lid. Wash in warm, soapy water; rinse and

DO’SAND DON’TSWHEN USING
YOUR BLENDER
DO:
• Make sure the electrical outlet is rated at the
same voltage as that stated on the bottom of
the blender motor base.
• Always use the blender on a clean, sturdy and
dry surface.
• Always add liquid ingredients to the blender
jar first, then add remaining ingredients.
This will ensure that ingredients are
uniformly mixed.
• Cut most foods into cubes approximately
1/2" (1.3 cm) to 1" (2.5 cm) to achieve a
more uniform result. Cut all cheeses into
pieces no larger than 1/2" (1.3 cm).
• Use the measured pour lid to measure liquid
ingredients such as alcohol. Replace measured
pour lid after ingredients have been added.
• Use a rubber or plastic spatula as needed
only when the blender is turned OFF. Never
use metal utensils, as damage may occur to
the blender jar or cutting assembly.
• Place cover on firmly. Always operate the
blender with the cover on.
• Make sure locking ring is tightly attached
to blender jar.
• Always remove locking ring, cutting
assembly, and rubber gasket before cleaning.
• When scraping the blender jar with a
spatula, remove the food from the sides of
the blender jar and place it in the center of
the blender jar, over the cutting assembly.
• When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion,
zest, bread crumbs, spices, etc…make sure
the blender jar and cutting assembly are
completely dry.
• If food tends to stick to the sides of the blender
jar when blending, pulse in short bursts.
• Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses
so the blades stop rotating between pulses.
DON’T:
• Don’t store food or liquids in your
blender jar.
• Don’t place cutting assembly and locking
ring onto motor base without the blender
jar attached.
• Blender will not mash potatoes, knead heavy
dough, or beat egg whites.
• Don’t remove blender jar while unit is ON.
Keep the blender jar cover on the blender
jar while blending.
• Don't twist locking ring from blender jar
when removing blender jar from motor base.
Simply lift blender jar from motor base.
• Don’t overprocess foods. Blender will achieve
most desired results in seconds, not minutes.
• Don’t overload blender. If the motor stalls,
turn the blender OFF immediately, unplug
the unit, and remove a portion of the food,
then continue.
