HELPFUL HINTS
• Prepare solid ingredients by cutting into small pieces 1”-1-1/4” (2-3 cm).
Add a small amount of liquid and place small portions into the Blender
Jar instead of large quantity all at once. Gradually add more liquid
through the Filler Cap opening.
• Allow hot liquids to cool to a lukewarm temperature before processing.
• Always place your hand on top of the Lid when operating.
• While the motor is running, ingredients can be added through the Filler
Cap opening in the center of the Blender Lid.
• When chopping nuts or other dry mixtures use 3/4 cup (180 ml) at a
time, to ensure even chopping.
• To crush ice, place the ice cubes into the Jar with the motor switched off.
Close the Lid and turn the Speed Control to the Pulse setting. Add a little
water through the Filler Cap opening for more even ice crushing.
• DO NOT operate the Blender for more than 90 seconds when
processing dry ingredients.
• DO NOT run the Blender when empty

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled
in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised
in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the
detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type,
the extension cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top,
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
