When using electric 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 cord, plug,
base, or motor in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.
4. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or
taking off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contact with 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. Call our toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical
adjustment.
7. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended
or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause a risk of injury
to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot
surfaces, including stove.
10. Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to reduce the
risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to blender. A rubber
spatula may be used but must be used only when blender is not
running.
11. Blades are sharp; handle carefully – especially when assembling,
disassembling, or cleaning inside blender jar.
12. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
13. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.
14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade assembly
on base without jar properly attached.
15. Always operate blender with lid in place.

16. When blending hot liquids, remove filler-cap of two-piece lid and
close the edge cover opening intended for pouring. To prevent
possible burns: Do not exceed the 3-cup (709.8-ml) level. Hot
liquids may push off two-piece lid during blending; therefore, with
the protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on
top of the lid, keep exposed skin away from the lid, and start
blending at lowest speed.
17. Ensure collar on base of blender jar is tight and secure. Injury
can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.
18. If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched ON,
switch O (OFF) immediately and tighten jar in collar or on blender
base.
19. Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.
20. To disconnect cord, turn the control to O (OFF). Then remove
plug from wall outlet.
21. Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one
wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If
the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord
may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be
equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be
taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
accidentally tripped over.

If the cutting blade assembly locks and will not move, it will damage
the motor. Do not use. Call the toll-free customer service number for
information.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid. This
can result in damage to the cutting blade assembly, jar, blender, and
possibly result in personal injury.
Wattage/Peak Power Information
The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an
Underwriters Laboratory test and is based on available cutting blade
assembly and jar combinations that may not be provided with your
unit, but are available as replacement parts. This is a measure of
input wattage/amperes after 30 seconds of operation. The blender
as provided may draw significantly less power.
Peak power is the measure of the motor wattage during the first
seconds of operation. This is when a blender requires the most
power to crush ice, frozen fruit, etc. This is a better measure of what
a blender motor can consume when power is needed most.
BEFORE FIRST USE: After unpacking blender, wash everything
except blender base in hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Wipe
blender base with a damp cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE
BASE IN WATER. Care should be taken when handling cutting blade
assembly as it is very sharp.

How to Use
BEFORE FIRST USE: After unpacking the blender, follow the
instructions in “Care and Cleaning.” Insert the cutting blade
assembly through the bottom of the blender jar; then attach the
collar and twist until secure.
IMPORTANT: Your blender jar and cutting blade assembly are
subject to wear during normal use. Always inspect jar for nicks,
chips, or cracks. Always inspect cutting blade assembly for
broken, cracked, or loose blades. If jar or cutting blade assembly
is damaged, do not use. Call our toll-free customer service
number to obtain replacement parts.
1. Make sure blender is unplugged. Place blender base on
clean, dry surface to keep foreign particles from being pulled
up into motor during operation.
2. Set jar into place on blender base, making sure it is securely
seated.
3. Put ingredients in jar and place lid on jar.
4. Plug cord into outlet.
5. Before processing food or beverages, ensure that blender lid
is secured onto jar and jar is secured onto blender base. Push
the desired speed button. When using the PULSO (Pulse) button,
the blender will only run when the button is held down.
Always place one hand on blender lid during operation.
Laceration Hazard.
Handle blade carefully; it is very sharp. Make sure unit
is turned OFF (O) and is unplugged.

the cutting blade assembly as it is very sharp. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. Do not soak. These parts may also be washed
in a dishwasher.

Care and Cleaning
Blender Tips
• To add foods when blender is operating, remove filler-cap from
blender lid and add ingredients through the opening.
• For best performance, the minimum amount of liquid needed
per recipe is one cup (8 ounces/236.6 ml). Add more liquid if
food is not blending properly.
• If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to
sides of the jar, there may not be enough liquid in the jar to
blend efficiently.
• Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip egg whites,
grind raw meat, or extract juices from fruits and vegetables.
• Do not store food or liquids in the blender jar.
• Avoid bumping or dropping the blender when in operation or
at any time.
