Assembling Your Blender Before First Use
Carefully unpack the blender and remove all packaging materials. Be sure to handle the blade
assembly carefully; it is sharp. Set the blender base on a clean, dry countertop or table. Wash the
blade assembly, blending jar, collar, and jar lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Wipe the blender base with a clean, damp cloth. This will remove any dust that may have settled
during packaging.
1. Place the blender on a at, level surface. Always operate blender on a clean, dry surface.
2. Place the blade assembly gasket on the rim of the blade assembly (g. 1).
CAUTION: DO NOT LOSE THE GASKET WHEN WASHING.
WARNING: Do not immerse the blender base, cord, or plug in water or any other
liquid. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleansers on any part of the
blender.

IMPORTANT: Blade assembly must be securely tightened to the jar before adding
food or liquid to the blending jar.
NOTE: Most food and liquid can be blended or processed to your desired
consistency with short bursts of power. Once you have reached the desired
consistency, you only need to blend contents for a few seconds. To avoid
overheating and wear on the motor and blades we recommend blending
foods for no longer than 1 minute on a low or high setting.
1. Before starting, make sure that the blender cord is unplugged and that the power switch on
the blender base is in the OFF (O) position.
2. Check blending jar assembly to ensure that the blade assembly, rubber sealing ring and collar
are in the proper positions.
3. Place blending jar assembly on the blender base so that it is rmly seated and not tilted to
one side. Never place the blade assembly on the blender base without the blending jar being
completely assembled and securely tightened.
4. Be sure the power switch is still in the OFF (O) position, and plug the blender into a convenient
120 V~60 Hz AC-only power outlet.
5. Add ingredients to be processed into blending jar, and place jar lid on blending jar. Be sure jar
lid is fully seated. Always hold blending jar while blending. Do not operate the blender with an
empty blending jar.
6. Your blender has four settings:
PULSE, OFF, LOW, HIGH (P, O, 1, 2).
7. For REGULAR BLENDING (continuous blending action), set the power switch to either the
LOW (1) or HIGH (2) position. LOW (1) is best suited for light blending with liquids. HIGH (2)
is suited for mixing liquids with solids or thicker liquids. The blender will run at the selected
speed until another speed is selected. The power will stop when the OFF (O) position is
selected.
8. For PULSE BLENDING (short bursts of high-speed blending action), turn the power switch to
PULSE (P). The switch will return to the OFF (O) position as soon as you release it. (See “To
Crush Ice.”)
9. Always be sure to switch the power switch to the OFF (O) position when you are not blending.

Mixing Hot Foods or Liquids
The PULSE (P) setting is ideal for crushing ice, since it allows for bursts of high-speed operation
separated by short rest periods that allow the ice to settle around the blades before the next pulse.
Before operating the blender, make sure the blending jar is properly assembled and in place on the
blender base. Put ice and/or ingredients in the blending jar and rmly attach the jar lid.
Turn power switch to the PULSE (P) position and hold for a few seconds. Release, then repeat until
the ice is crushed to your liking. If ice becomes clumped, turn the power switch to OFF (O) and use
a rubber spatula to redistribute the ice ONLY when the power switch is in the OFF (O) position.
Never use any utensils, including spatulas, in the blending jar while the blender is running.
Crushing Ice
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury or damage to the glass blending jar, allow
cooked vegetables and broth to cool before pouring into the blending jar for
processing.
IMPORTANT: Do not use boiling water. The blade assembly bearings have been
designed with a lifetime lubricant; exposure to boiling water may damage these
bearings and shorten the life of the blender. Use of boiling water could also cause
excessive steam buildup, which may result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Do not crush more than 6 ice cubes or approximately 2 cups (500 ml)
of ice at one time.
IMPORTANT: A small quantity of water must be added to the ice when crushing
ice alone. For best results, add 1/2 cup (125 mL) of water for every 1 1/2 cups
(375 mL) of ice. Most store-bought blender drink mixes and/or other recipes will
note a requirement for water or other liquids. Ice will not crush without some form
of liquid. Be sure to drain any excess water aer blending if you require ice alone.

Blending Tips
• Always keep the lid on the blending jar while blending.
• Never place the following items in your blender as they may cause damage: bones, large pieces
of solid frozen foods or tough foods such as turnips.
• Certain tasks are not performed eciently with a blender, such as: Beating egg whites,
whipping cream, mashing potatoes, grinding meats, mixing dough, and extracting juices from
fruits and vegetables.
• If desired, remove the ller cap from the centre of the jar lid to add small ingredients while the
blender is operating.
• Remove the ller cap while blending hot liquids; this will release any steam and condensation
that could build up on the inside of the blending jar.
• Do not place any utensil (spatula, fork, etc.) in the blending jar while the blender is operating.
Ensure all speed buttons are in the OFF (O) position and unplug the blender.
• Screw the blade assembly collar onto the bottom of the jar before placing onto the top on the
blender base.
• When blending solid foods, such as raw vegetables or cooked and uncooked meats and fruits,
always cut them into pieces no larger than 3/4" (1.8 cm) before placing them into the glass
jar. Blend no more than 1/2 cup (125 mL) of these foods at a time. This will speed the blending
process and reduce wear on the blending blades and motor.
• Smaller ice cubes can be chopped or crushed faster than large ones.
• If too much food is blended at one time, the motor may stall. If this happens, turn the blender
o, and unplug from power outlet. Once blades have come to a stop, remove a portion of the
food and repeat the blending process.
• To add foods while the blender is operating, remove the ller cap from the centre of the jar lid
and insert the ingredients through the opening. Remember to cut the food into 1" (2.5 cm)
pieces to t through the opening. Always replace the measuring cap when you have nished
adding the ingredients.
• Always place liquid ingredients in the jar rst, unless recipe specically states otherwise.
• Avoid over-blending. You will usually only need to blend for a few seconds, not minutes. Over-
blending may cause food to be mushy.
• Be sure the blades are completely stopped and base is unplugged before removing the
blending jar from the base.
• NEVER blend carbonated beverages. Released gases can cause pressure to build up and the
container to burst, resulting in possible injury.
• To add ice cubes to mixtures while blender is operating, add one ice cube at a time through the
opening in the jar lid. Wait a few seconds before adding the next ice cube so that the blender
can properly blend the ice.
