result in serious personal injury.
• Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
• Children should not be permitted to operate this, or any other kitchen appliance, without the
constant supervision of a qualied adult.
• Do not attempt any home repairs to this unit. Should the unit require repair, such repair should
only be performed by a qualied professional.
• Unit For Indoor Use Only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, never expose any part of this
appliance including the power cord, plug or motorized Base to rain, moisture or immersion in
liquids of any kind.
• The unit has a polarized plug. One prong is narrower than the other and it will t only one way into
an electrical outlet. Never force the plug into the outlet. If it doesn’t t after trying it one way and
then reversing it … contact an electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
• Never use an adaptor or an extension cord.
• Never assemble, disassemble or handle the unit while it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Keep

• The HealthMaster™ Blender comes equipped with a Tamper. This is the only utensil you should
ever use while operating this unit. Using other utensils may damage the unit and cause possible
personal injury.
• To prevent overheating, do not block any ventilation intake openings (see page 5).
• Use on a dry, stable surface.
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
• When preparing fresh baby food always consult with your physician (pediatrician) before making any dietary
changes. Certain fruits and vegetables are not recommended for infants or young children due to immature
digestive systems, allergies, or other developmental reasons.
• When preparing fresh baby food, to prevent choking, always make sure all fruits and vegetables are
completely liqueed before feeding them to a baby.
• To avoid personal injury: Never remove the Lid while the motor is running. If something is stuck press the
OFF button, wait for motor to stop running, unplug the unit then remove the Cap only, insert the Tamper to
dislodge stuck food. If food remains stuck, disassemble and remove the blocked food.
• Make sure the Pitcher is attached properly and securely locked before pressing the ON button. HealthMaster™
Blender will not operate unless the Pitcher is in locked position.
• Never use hands, ngers, or other utensils to insert food into the Pitcher. Use the Tamper only.
• Never leave the HealthMaster™ Blender unattended while motor is running.
• Never add ingredients to the HealthMaster™ Blender while unit is running at a speed of higher than #1.
• We do not recommend pressing the RUN button when the Pitcher is empty.
• Always use one hand to hold the Pitcher handle as this unit operates at high speeds.
• Never put fruits with pits in the HealthMaster™ Blender. Remove pits prior to placing items into the Pitcher.

using the tamper
The Tamper is useful when preparing thick or frozen mixtures.
The Tamper can be used while the machine is running.
1. Make sure Lid is secured in place.
2. Remove E-Z Lock Cap from Lid.
3. Insert Tamper through the opening in the Lid.
4. Hold the Pitcher handle with one hand, grasp Tamper with the
other hand.
5. Move up and down or in a circular motion to move contents
around the Blade.
Tips for Using the Tamper:
When preparing thick mixtures that don’t circulate freely, insert the
Tamper and move in a circular motion. This will help remove any air or
ingredients trapped by the Blade. The Lid prevents the Tamper from
making direct contact with the Blade.

HealthMaster™ Blender helpful hints
• Always remove all stems and large pits such as
peach, mango, apricot, etc. before processing as
these items can damage the Blade and cause the
motor to malfunction.
• Unless otherwise instructed, insert wet ingredients
into the HealthMaster™ Blender rst, then dry
ingredients, then ice if needed.
• Thoroughly wash all fruits and vegetables before
juicing to remove any dirt or chemicals.
• Fruits and vegetables juice best when they are fresh
and rm.
• Always serve fresh foods immediately. After just a
few seconds they begin to lose vitamin potency.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Press ON/OFF button again and wait until the
motor completely stops.
2. Using dry hands, unplug the power cord from
electrical outlet.
3. Disassemble the machine.
4. Wash the Lid and Cap in warm soapy water. Rinse
and dry thoroughly before rst use.
Fig. D
5. Turn the Pitcher upside down. Turn the large black screw Cap
counterclockwise (LOOSE) to remove the blade. (See Figure D)

14
Once o, carefully remove the blade by pulling it out of the bottom
of the Pitcher. Wash and dry blade completely. For safety reasons,
do not touch blades directly with your hands.
NOTE: When reassembling the blade, be sure to tighten the black
screw Cap so the blade does not loosen.
6. NOTE: DO NOT put unit in dishwasher. We recommend
washing the Pitcher, Lid and Cap by hand. For safety reasons,
do not handle the Blades directly with your ngers. Fill the
Pitcher with warm soapy water. Attach and lock the Pitcher,
with Blades secure, to the Base. Then secure the Lid and Cap in
place. Press ON button. Increase the speed to 8. Press the RUN
button. Allow it to run for 1 minute. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
7. Make sure Base and parts are completely dry before storing in
a cool, dry place.
8. Never use abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the main
Base or any of the parts. This can scratch the nish causing
permanent damage.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury use caution while cleaning
Blades. They are sharp. Handle carefully.

NOTE: The HealthMaster™ Blender is a very powerful unit. When operating properly, the motor gives o
a loud but smooth sound that changes in pitch as the motor speed is increased. This is normal.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE REASONS AND SOLUTION
Motor does not run after ON button is pushed.

rst turned on.
Normal Loud Smooth Sound becomes unpleasant,
more pronounced and uneven, producing erratic
and sometimes uncontrolled unit vibration.
The bottom of the Pitcher is leaking.
The unit shuts o while in use.
• Check to see if unit is plugged in.
• Pitcher is not in the “locked” position
• Check if all parts are assembled properly.
• Check if any food is causing blade to lock.
•
There may be a short term Burn-O Odor when the blender is rst used.
This is from a lubricant used in manufacturing the motor.
• Push power button to OFF immediately.
• Unplug unit and check for proper assembly.
• Reassemble and retry unit.
• Check to see that the black screw Cap is tightened and threaded correctly.
• The Ring on the Blade may be missing. Make sure you assemble the Blade
correctly (pages 13-14).
