PRODUCT SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock do not put Stand Blender base in water
or other liquid.
3. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Close supervision is
necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. Turn the appliance OFF, then unplug from the outlet when not in use, before
assembling or disassembling parts and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the
plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts.
6. 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
appliance to the nearest Authorized Service Facility for examination, repair, or
electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
9. Keep hands and utensils, other than the tamper provided, out of the container
while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the
blender. The cover must remain in place when using the tamper through the
cover opening. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the blender
is not running.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This product is designed for household use only.
Voltage: 120 V
Frequency: 60 Hz
Intensity (Amp.): 15 Amps
NOTE: If the plug does not fit in the
outlet, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not modify the plug in any way.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord. If the
power supply cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the appliance.
MOTOR HORSEPOWER
Motor horsepower for the blender motor was measured using a dynamometer, a machine
that laboratories routinely use to measure the mechanical power of motors. Our 3.0 peak
horsepower (HP) motor reference reflects the horsepower output of the motor itself and
not the Blender’s horsepower output in the blender jar. As with any blender, the power
output in the jar is not the same as the horsepower of the motor itself. This motor delivers
2.40 peak HP in the jar, enabling your Blender to deliver robust power for all your recipes.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong
outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Problem Solution
Status indicator light is off while
unit is plugged in and On/Off
switch is in On position:
After 10 minutes of no activity, the blender will go into
Sleep mode. Flip START/STOP toggle switch up or down
to bring the blender back into Standby mode.
Status indicator light is flashing
orange color:
Indicates error mode. This can be caused by: using
a spatula or any other utensil that could obstruct the
blade to freely spin, or having an ice cube or hard food
in a location that locks up the blade.
Unplug the blender and remove the jar from the base,
and clear the items. Place the jar back on the base, and
then turn on the blender to continue regular use.
Blender stops after continuously
running for 6 minutes: This is normal operation for variable speed functions.
Refer to “Blender function guide” for details.
Blender stops while blending: If blender stops prior to the completion of the selected function, contact an authorized service center for
assistance.
If the ingredients of a recipe
aren’t blending:
An air pocket can be created around the blade causing
the ingredients to miss the blade. Use the tamper to
push ingredients down into the blade. Refer to “Using
the commercial blender” section. For certain recipes,
adding more liquid may also assist in incorporating the
ingredients.
Blender jar overflows:
Unplug and remove the jar pad from the housing to
make sure the base is fully dry. The control dial can be
detached by pulling it off with force. Wipe dry, and then
replace it back.
Troubleshooting does not solve
the problem:
See the “Warranty and service” section. Contact an
Authorized Service Center for assistance.
Do not return the Blender to the retailer – retailers do
not provide service.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.
