KNOWING YOUR OSTER® BLENDER
Cover
The cover for your OSTER®Blender consists
of two parts, the plastic feeder cap (1)
and the cover (2). The cover is self-sealing
and is resistant to absorption of odors and
stains. The feeder cap is removable for use
as a measuring cup and provides an opening
for the addition of other ingredients.
Container
The container (3) for the Blender is graduated
for easy measurement and is molded of heat
and cold resistant material. The convenient
handle and pouring lip permit easy removal
of liquid mixtures while thicker mixtures are
more easily removed through the bottom
opening.
Threaded Bottom Cap
Threaded Bottom Cap (4) with Ice Crush Blade
pulverizes ice for smooth frozen drinks.
Motor and Motor Base
The powerful multi-speed motor is the heart
of the appliance and is designed just for
this unit. It is completely enclosed within the
housing (5). The motor uses a “free-floating”
feature to reduce noise and wear. This allows
the square post which protrudes from the
motor base to move slightly from side to side.
The powerful food processing motor can be
overloaded. To avoid this possibility, closely
follow the instructions in this book.
Speed Control
This blender has 3 speed settings: Low
(I)-Med (II)-High (III). Operate at High on
toughest ingredients and achieve the finest
result.
NOTE: DO NOT operate blender at any
setting continuously for more than 3 minutes.
