SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
NOTE: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualied personnel; or by
an authorized service center.
WARNING
WARNING: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent
removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not
attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to t into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not t into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
POWER SUPPLY CORD
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
2. If the power supply cord is too short, do not use an extension cord. Have a
qualied electrician or serviceman to install an outlet near the appliance.
3. If it is absolutely necessary to use longer cord sets or an extension cord, extreme
care must be exercised.
a) Use an extension cord rated no less than 10-amperes.
b) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord must equal to or
be greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer 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 unintentionally.
NOTE: Neither Westinghouse nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the product or
personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.

SET UP & USE
PULSE BLENDING TECHNIQUE
Use this technique when short bursts of high power are required. It is ideal for
chopping when a chunky texture is desired.
Holding the power base with one hand, turn the variable speed dial to PULSE (P)
position and hold for a few seconds. Release, then repeat until desired consistency is
achieved.
NOTE: Do not run the appliance for more than 1 minute at a time. Allow unit to rest
for at least 3 minutes between maximum blending cycles.
BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
• Always attach the blade assembly to the jar/cup before placing on the power base.
• If ingredients being blended become stuck around blades or on sides of jar, turn the
variable speed dial to the OFF ( ) position, lift jar off of power base and shake to
loosen food.
• When blending or chopping solid foods, such as raw vegetables, cooked meats, and
fruits, always cut into pieces no larger than 1 inch before placing in the jar. Blend no
more than cup (125 mL) of these foods at a time. This will speed up the process and
reduce wear on the blades and motor.
• The Blender is not designed for crushing ice alone, but can be used for preparing
frozen drinks. 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. Add 1/2 cup (125 ml) of water for every 1-1/2 cup (375 ml) of ice.
• Smaller ice cubes can be chopped or crushed faster than large ones.
• If too much food is blended/chopped at one time, the motor may stall. If this
happens, turn the blender off, remove a portion of the food and repeat the blending
process.
• Chill the jar in the fridge before blending frozen drinks. This will help retain a cooler
temperature.
• Avoid over-blending. Usually, you will only need to blend for a few seconds, not
minutes. Over-blending may cause food to be mushy.
• Be sure the motor is completely stopped before removing the jar from the power
base.
• When using the blender to prepare drinks, use the travel lids after blending to
eliminate extra dishes.
• The travel lid allows you to blend and store beverages in the same cup.

1. Remove jar from the power base and then remove blade assembly from jar. Rinse
with warm water to remove any large food particles.
2. Fill jar half way with warm, soapy water.
3. Twist the blade assembly back onto jar. Replace jar on power base and turn the
blender on for a few seconds.
4. Remove the jar assembly from the base and rinse well. Repeat procedure as
necessary.
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 10 water could also cause excessive steam buildup, which may
result in personal injury.
The power base may be wiped with a clean, damp cloth or sponge.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the power base, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleansers on any part of the
blender or accessories.
Blending jars, blade assembly and travel lids can be washed in warm, soapy water or
placed on the top rack of a dishwasher. Rinse and dry thoroughly before use.
WARNING: Be sure to handle the blade assembly carefully; blades are sharp.
