IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, the following basic safety precautions
should always be adhered to:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Avoid electrical shock: do not put cord plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid;
never put a wet plug into an outlet, or handle with wet hands; and never immerse the
Motor Base into water, instead wipe with a damp cloth only and dry promptly.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4. Unplug from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and
before cleaning.
5. Blades are sharp, handle carefully. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Always use on a level, sturdy surface.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. Do not operate while driving a vehicle.
9. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug. If the Dynablend®
malfunctions, is dropped, or damaged in any manner, call the main service center
(888-254-7336) to get a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) No. to send your
Dynablend®to the service center. Returns will not be accepted without a RMA No.
clearly written on the box.
10. Only use attachments sold by Tribest®with the Motor Base. The use of attachments,
including canning jars, is not recommended by the manufacturer and may cause injury
to persons or damage to the Dynablend®.
11. Do not let cord hang over edge of a table or counter, or touch the stove or other
hot surfaces.
12. To avoid injury, properly attach the Blade Assembly to the Glass Pitcher base.
13. Do not blend liquids over 104°F. When blending hot liquids, remove center piece of the
two-piece lid.
14. Only use the Dynablend®for its intended purpose. For Household use only. Not for
commercial use.
15. Wash the Glass Pitcher and Blade Assembly immediately after each use.
16. In 30 second Pulse mode, always allow the machine to rest for at least one minute
between consecutive blending cycles of 30 seconds. When blending in the 60 second
cycles, 60 second Blend or Combo mode, do not exceed 3 consecutive cycles.
17. Store the Glass Jar with its Lid. Make sure the parts are thoroughly dry.
18. The Dynablend®has a polarized plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug
will fit in a polarized outlet in only one way. If the plug does not fit properly in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.

7
19. Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to reduce the risk of severe
injury to persons or damage to the Dynablend®. A scraper may be used but must be
used only when the Dynablend®is not running.
20. Always operate the Dynablend®with the lid in place.
21. To reduce the risk of injury, never place the Blade Assembly on the Motor Base without
the Glass Pitcher properly attached.

BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Clean all parts thoroughly and dry.
2. Take out the required length of cord from the Electric Cord Tidy at the base of the
Dynablend®and plug it into an outlet.
NOTE: The Red Dial Light will flash IF the Dial is at the ‘OFF’ position.
3. Turn on the machine by turning the Dial to the ‘ON’ position. The Red Dial Light
will become solid and the Blue Pre-Programmed Button Lights will be blinking.
Now, your machine is ready to use.
NOTE: 1) For safety reasons, if the electricity goes out while the Dynablend®is in
operation with the Dial positioned at a variable speed, the Red Dial Light will
flash without resuming operation, this prevents the machine from working
without your awareness when the electricity comes back on. If this happens,
turn the Dial to the ‘ON’ position, make sure the Red Dial Light becomes solid
and the Blue Pre-Programmed Button Lights blink, and then resume operation.
2) If the electricity goes out while the machine was in operation with the
Pre-Programmed Buttons, the Red Dial Light will be solid and the Blue
Pre-Programmed Button Lights will blink when the electricity comes back on.
You may then resume operation.

Useful Tips For The Best Results
• To achieve the best results when pureeing solid ingredients, place small portions into
the Glass Pitcher one by one instead of blending a large quantity all at once.
• If you are processing solid ingredients like celery, tomato, or apples, cut them into
small pieces (2-3 cm) first.
• When mixing solid ingredients start off with a small amount of liquid. Gradually add
more liquid through the opening in the Lid.
• Always place your hand on top of the Lid when you are operating the Dynablend®.
• For stirring solid or very thick liquid ingredients we recommend that you use the
blender in pulse mode to prevent the blades from creating an air pocket.
• Overloading the Glass Pitcher with more than 1.5 liters could cause the motor to stall.
Should the motor stall, turn the Dynablend®off, unplug from the outlet, and remove a
portion of the mixture before continuing.
• Do NOT place hands or utensils into the Glass Pitcher during operation or when the
Dynablend®is plugged in.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

Buttons to remove most of food debris remaining in the Glass Pitcher.
NOTE: If necessary you may add a couple of drops of dish soap.
2. Empty the Glass Pitcher.
3. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 with the Glass Pitcher 2/3full of clean warm water with NO SOAP
to rinse the pitcher thoroughly.
4. Empty the Glass Pitcher.
5. Dry the Glass Pitcher fully for the next use.

2. Wipe the outside surface with a damp cloth or sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners
on the Motor Base.

the machine may move on the counter.
WARNING: Do not immerse the Motor Base in water.
How to Clean the White Silicone Seal

inside ridge of the Glass Pitcher. Clean it and keep it in a safe place, then replace when
reassembling the Blade Assembly and the Glass Pitcher. (Please see “How to Reassemble
the Blade Assembly” page 13.)

• Source of EFA (essential fatty acids) from flax,hemp oil or seeds, or soaked chia seeds.
• 1 Tbsp. of soaked seeds or nuts (e.g. sesame, sunflower, pumpkin, flax seeds; or

and will blend easier than almonds or brazil nuts.
Liquid choices:
• ½ - 1 cup liquid of choice:
- Apple Juice
- Orange Juice
- Coffee (Teeccino, Pero, or Caf-Lib)
- Yogurt (soy or dairy)
- Milk
- Tofu (blend into liquid first with 1 /8cup water)

leak out during the blending process.

• 1 /5-1 /3cup of fresh or frozen fruit
- Any fresh or frozen fruit in season that you like can be used for smoothies.
NOTE: The maximum amount of fruit is 1 cup, adjust liquid levels to accommodate. The
more fruit you add the thicker the drink. With a ¼cup liquid you can create a pudding like

19
A Date with an Orange:
• ½ cup fresh orange juice
• 1 frozen banana
