IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
The following basic safety precautions apply when using any electrical
appliance.
Read all instructions.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock do not put in water or
other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning.
• Avoid contacting moving parts.
• 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.
• The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended
by the manufacturer may cause injury.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
• Do not let cord contact hot surface, including the stove.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
• Keep hands and utensils out of pitcher while blending to reduce
the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. A
scraper may be used, but must be used only when the blender is
not running.
• Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
• To reduce the risk of injury never place blender blade assembly on
base without pitcher properly attached.
• Always operate blender with lid in place.
• The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the
manufacturermaycausere,electricshockorinjury.
• When blending hot liquids, place funnel in lid. Make sure lid is
secured to blender pitcher before operating blender.

1. Never look directly into the blender while the motor is running.
2. Always secure the lid on top of the pitcher when working with hot liquids.
Make sure funnel has been placed in lid to allow for the escape of hot,
expanding gases.
3. Blend no more than 8 ounces of hot liquid at a given time.
4. Always start the blender at low speed and carefully increase the speed.
Ice Drink Instructions
Some of the nicest drinks you can make with your RPM Blender are frozen fruit
drinks.Specicrecipesfollow,butherearethegeneralinstructions.
1. Add ice and frozen fruit pieces. (Ice cream or sherbet may also be added)
2. Add enough liquid, (milk, juice, or water), to cover frozen ingredients.
3. Place lid securely on blender pitcher.
4. Start the motor turning at low speed. You may jog toggle switch on and off
a few times before turning on speed knob.
5. Increase speed gradually as high as necessary to crush the frozen
ingredients.
6. You may use smoothie stick to tamp frozen ingredients into the liquid.
7. Blend for as short a time as possible. Too much blending creates friction
heat that may melt the ingredients.
Tip: You can achieve desired milk shake or ice cream consistency by balancing
the liquid and frozen ingredients.
CAUTION: Allow frozen ingredients, like fruit, to soften slightly if they have
been in a deep freeze. The ideal temperature for blending frozen ingredients is
between 20-25º F.
Smoothie Stick Instructions
The smoothie stick is used when making thick shakes, ice drinks and thick
soups. It helps maintain circulation by pushing ingredients into the blades
and eliminating air pockets. It is designed to prevent contact with the blades.
If circulation stops, angle the smoothie stick to any side of the container and
slightly increase the liquid ingredients. Do not use the smoothie stick when the
container is more than 2/3 full.
Funnel Instructions
This is the lid insert that enables you to add oils and liquids such as vanilla while
the blades are turning. Funnel is also helpful for drizzling oil in a slow steady
stream when making mayonnaise.
Grinding Coffee Beans and Nuts
Your RPM Blender will grind coffee beans, all nuts, and seeds. For small seeds
suchassesameorax(linseed)seeds,addonlyenoughseedstocomeupto
the blades. Try not to cover the blades. Excessive amounts of small seeds can
stress your blender. For coffee beans or large nuts such as cashews, add one
cup at a time. Place the fully closed lid on the pitcher and begin by blending at
half speed. Increase speed as necessary.

Basic Cleaning & Care
Blades: These may be removed for cleaning. Blades are very sharp! Use
caution and hand protection. It is not recommended to wash blades in the
dishwasher. The heat, steam, and harsh detergents of an automatic dishwasher
will damage the ball bearings and remove the bearing lubrication. Carefully wash
the blade assembly by hand. Avoid letting it soak in soapy water.
Gasket: The rubber gasket may be removed for cleaning and is replaceable. We
recommend replacing the gasket at least once a year.
Lid: Wash the lid with gentle dishwashing liquid, a sponge, or a soft dishwashing
brush. Do not use any abrasive cleaning tools, copper sponges, steel wool,
bleach or other strong detergent products.
Pitcher / Funnel: Remove the blade assembly before washing in dishwasher.
The blender pitcher and funnel are dishwasher safe, but whenever possible
place them in the top rack.
Caution: Do not use any abrasive cleaning tools, copper sponges, steel wool,
bleach or other strong detergent products.
Motor base: Unplug the power cord. Use a damp cloth or sponge can be used
to clean the surface of the motor base. Clean the switches with a cloth, sponge,
or a gentle vegetable brush. Never immerse the motor base in water.
Basic Operation
First Time Cleaning
CleantheRPMBlenderbeforetherstusebyadding1-2cupsofwarmwater
and a few drops of your favorite liquid dishwashing detergent. Put lid and cap
in position and run at half speed for less than one minute. Remove and rinse
thoroughly in warm water. Your RPM Blender is now ready for use.
Variable Speed Control Knob
This is the knob above the ON/OFF toggle switch that runs your blender.
Turn it to the RIGHT to increase RPMs and blending power.
Turn it to the LEFT to decrease RPMs and reduce blending power.
IMPORTANT: If your blender does not start immediately, turn the variable speed
knob further to the RIGHT and make sure the toggle switch is in the ON position.
Hot Drink Instructions
Hot drinks and soups are wonderful when prepared in your blender. Since liquids
over 100º F (38º C) can scald skin and cause burns and blisters, please take the
following precautions:

Green & Nutty 1 to 2 cups water
Smoothie 8 to 10 almonds, raw
1 apple, cut and cored
1 Tbsp favorite green powder
Choose your favorite green powder from your vitamin supplements store.
One tablespoon is reportedly equivalent to eating an entire serving of green
vegetables! Add only one cup of water to start, then add any additional water as
necessary to achieve the desired consistency. If you like crunchier smoothies,
blend the almonds last at low speed.
Berry Berry Rich 1 large banana (fresh or frozen-cut into chunks)
1 handful of your favorite berries (fresh or frozen)

Fresh fruit will prepare like a drink. Frozen fruit will make a thicker shake.
Strawberries are commonly used in smoothies, but blueberries, blackberries and
raspberries also make excellent choices. Place the fruit in the blender, add part
of the apple juice and blend at low speed, increasing RPMs as needed. Add the
yogurt last if desired, and more juice to achieve desired consistency.

combination of pineapple, mango, lime and yogurt has to be tasted to be
believed! Blend lime with half of the apple juice. Add the mango, pineapple, and
yogurt. Then add small amounts of apple juice at a time to achieve the desired
consistency. For even more zing, add some ginger.
