IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord,
plug, or base in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used
by or near children.
4. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on
or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug,
or after appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in
any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical
adjustment.
7. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recom-
mended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause
a risk of injury to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch
hot surfaces, including the stove.
10. Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to reduce
the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender.
A rubber spatula may be used but must be used only when
blender is not running.
11. Blades are sharp; handle carefully–especially when assembling,
disassembling or cleaning inside blender jar.
12. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
13. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blades.
14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting assembly
blades on base without jar properly attached.
15. Always operate blender with lid in place.
16. When using the strainer, do not exceed the maximum amount
of fruit, which could cause the blender to fail or result in
permanent damage to the blender.
17. When blending hot liquids, remove centerpiece of two-piece
lid. Hot liquids may push lid off jar during blending. To prevent
possible burns: Do not fill blender jar beyond the 3-cup
(750-ml) level. With the protection of an oven mitt or thick
towel, place one hand on top of lid. Keep exposed skin away
from lid. Start blending at lowest speed.
18. Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.
19. To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF (O); then remove
plug from wall outlet.
20. Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only. Use for food
or liquids 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, 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 blender. 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.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid.
The contents may freeze and may result in damage to the
cutting blades, jar, blender, and possibly result in personal injury.
If cutting blades lock and do not move, it will damage the motor.
Do not use. Call the toll-free customer service number for
information.
The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by
an Underwriters Laboratory test. These tests are based on
available cutting blades and jar combinations that may not
be provided with your unit. This is a measure of input
wattage/amperes after 30 seconds of operation.
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.
The blender as provided may draw significantly less power.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
Blender leaks.
Does not blend well.
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Make sure lid with filler cap is pushed down tightly on jar.
•Make sure enough liquid has been added. A minimum of 8 ounces (250 ml) is recommended.
•Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip egg whites, grind raw meat, or extract juices from
fruits and vegetables. The blender is not made to perform these tasks.
• If mixture is too thick, continue to add liquid until mixture is blended to desired consistency.
Blending Tips
Crushing Ice
For best performance, when a recipe calls for liquid, place the
liquid in blender jar followed by the ice cubes. Ensure ice cubes are
separated. When only crushed ice is desired, add 1 cup (250 ml) of
ice cubes to jar. Place lid on blender jar; then Pulse on any of the
5 pulse speeds. Allow blades to come to a complete stop between
pulses. Continue until ice is crushed to desired consistency. For best
results, always crush ice immediately after removing from freezer.
Using the Strainer
For best results, cut fruit into 1-inch pieces before placing in strainer.
(Maximum amount of fruit should not exceed 3 cups.) Soak dry
ingredients, such as soybeans, before placing them in strainer. Make
sure lid and filler cap are fully assembled and pushed down tightly
on jar.
General
To add foods when blender is operating, remove filler cap from
container lid and add ingredients through the opening. Do not store
food or liquids in the blender jar.
