SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one
wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If
the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord
may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be
equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be
taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
accidentally tripped over.
Other Consumer Safety Information
15.Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.
16.To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade assembly on
base without jar properly attached.
17.Always operate blender with lid in place.
18.When blending hot liquids, remove filler-cap of two-piece lid. To
prevent possible burns: Do not exceed the 3-cup (710-ml) level. Hot
liquids may push off two-piece lid during blending; therefore, with the
protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on top of
the lid, keep exposed skin away from the lid, and start blending at
lowest speed.
19.Ensure collar on base of blender jar is tight and secure. Injury can
result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.
20.If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched ON, switch
OFF (O) immediately and tighten jar in collar or on blender base.
21.Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.
22.To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF (O). Then remove plug
from wall outlet.
23.Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.

If the cutting blade assembly locks and will not move, it will damage
the motor. Do not use. Call the toll-free customer service number for
information.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid. This
can result in damage to the cutting blade assembly, jar, blender, and
possibly result in personal injury.
Wattage/Peak Power Information
The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an
Underwriters Laboratory test and is based on available cutting blade
assembly and jar combinations that may not be provided with your
unit, but are available as replacement parts. This is a measure of
input wattage/amperes after 30 seconds of operation. The blender
as provided may draw significantly less power.
Peak power is the measure of the motor wattage during the first
seconds of operation. This is when a blender requires the most
power to crush ice, frozen fruit, etc. This is a better measure of what
a blender motor can consume when power is needed most.
BEFORE FIRST USE: After unpacking blender, wash everything
except blender base in hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Wipe
blender base with a damp cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE
BASE IN WATER. Care should be taken when handling cutting blade
assembly as it is very sharp.

How to Use
BEFORE FIRST USE: After unpacking the blender, follow the
instructions in “Care and cleaning.” If your blender has a glass
jar, first insert the cutting blade assembly through the bottom
of the blender jar; then attach the collar and twist until secure.
There is no assembly necessary if your blender has a plastic jar;
simply wash and then use.
IMPORTANT: Your blender jar and cutting blade assembly are
subject to wear during normal use. Always inspect jar for nicks,
chips, or cracks. Always inspect cutting blade assembly for
broken, cracked, or loose blades. If jar or cutting blade assembly
is damaged, do not use. Call our toll-free customer service
number to obtain replacement parts.
1. Make sure blender is unplugged. Place blender base on
clean, dry surface to keep foreign particles from being pulled
up into motor during operation.
2. Set jar into place on blender base, making sure it is securely
seated.
3. Put ingredients in jar and place lid on jar.
4. Plug cord into outlet.
5. Before processing food or beverages, ensure that blender lid
is secured onto jar and jar is secured onto blender base.
Select a LO or HI power button; then push desired speed
button. Blender speed increases as buttons are pushed left
to right. When using the Pulse buttons, the blender will only
run when the button is held down.
Always place one hand on blender lid during operation.

oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on top of lid. Keep
exposed skin away from lid. Start blending at lowest speed.

Care and Cleaning
Blender Tips
• T o add foods when blender is operating, remove filler-cap from
blender lid and add ingredients through the opening.
• For best performance, the minimum amount of liquid needed
per recipe is one cup (8 ounces/237 ml). Add more liquid if
food is not blending properly.
• If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to
sides of the jar, there may not be enough liquid in the jar to
blend efficiently.
• Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip egg whites,
grind raw meat, or extract juices from fruits and vegetables.
• Do not store food or liquids in the blender jar.
• Avoid bumping or dropping the blender when in operation or
at any time.
