Important Safeguards

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before use.
2. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4. Unplug 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 has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the blender is not running.
11. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
12. Always operate blender with lid in place.
13. When blending hot liquids, use caution; steam can cause burns.

Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for storage or disposal.
2. Clean: Wash the glass jar, lid, filler cap, and blade assembly in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The Boroclass glass jar is dishwasher safe.
3. Assemble Blade: Place the sealing gasket onto the blade assembly.
4. Attach Blade to Jar: Invert the glass jar and place the blade assembly with gasket into the opening at the bottom of the jar. Twist the jar bottom/blade assembly clockwise until securely tightened.
5. Place Jar on Base: Place the assembled jar onto the blender base, ensuring it is seated correctly.
6. Plug In: Plug the blender into a standard electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

1. Add Ingredients: Place ingredients into the glass jar. Do not fill above the maximum fill line. For best results, add liquids first, then soft ingredients, and finally ice or frozen items.
2. Secure Lid: Place the lid firmly on the jar and insert the filler cap.
3. Select Speed: Choose the desired speed setting from the control panel. The blender offers 10 speeds, including specific functions like:
   • OFF: Turns the blender off.
   • LOW/HIGH: Continuous blending at low or high speed.
   • PULSE: For short bursts of power and controlled chopping.
   • Grate, Blend, Grind, Liquefy, Crush, Chop, Whip, Mix, Puree: Pre-programmed settings for various tasks.
4. Start Blending: Press the desired speed button. For PULSE, hold the button for short intervals.
5. Add Ingredients During Blending: If needed, remove the filler cap and add small ingredients through the opening while the blender is running. Replace the cap immediately.
6. Stop Blending: Press the "OFF" button when blending is complete.
7. Remove Jar: Unplug the blender before removing the jar from the base.

Tips for Best Performance:

• Do not overload the blender. If the motor stalls, turn it off immediately, unplug, and remove some ingredients.
• For thick mixtures, use the PULSE function or add more liquid.
• The 450 blending watts and Crush Pro 4 Blade are designed for efficient ice crushing.

Maintenance and Cleaning

1. Unplug: Always unplug the blender before cleaning.
2. Disassemble: Remove the jar from the base. Unscrew the jar bottom/blade assembly from the jar. Remove the blade and gasket.
3. Clean Jar and Parts: The 5-Cup Boroclass Glass Jar, lid, filler cap, blade, and gasket are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, wash them in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
