1. Place the blender base on a stable, flat surface.
2. Ensure the blade assembly is securely attached to the bottom of the 6-cup Boroclass glass jar.
3. Carefully place the assembled jar onto the blender base, aligning it properly.
4. Place the lid securely on the glass jar. The 2-ounce filler cap should be inserted into the opening of the lid.
5. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

The Oster Classic Series Heritage Blender features a simple 2-speed toggle control for ease of use.

• Adding Ingredients: Add your desired ingredients to the Boroclass glass jar. Ensure the liquid ingredients are added first to facilitate smoother blending. The 2-ounce filler cap allows for convenient addition of ingredients while blending.
• Speed Selection: Use the toggle switch on the blender base to select your desired speed.
  • HIGH: For powerful blending, ideal for crushing ice, frozen fruits, and tougher ingredients.
  • LOW: For lighter blending tasks, such as mixing sauces or pureeing soft foods.
  • PULSE: For short bursts of power, useful for chopping or controlling texture. Activate by momentarily moving the toggle switch to the pulse position and releasing.
• Blending: Begin blending by selecting the appropriate speed. The powerful 1000-watt motor and Crush Pro 4 Blade (stainless steel, 4-point design) will pulverize and chop ingredients with precision.
• Stopping: To stop blending, return the toggle switch to the 'OFF' (center) position.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and hygiene of your blender.

• Unplug Before Cleaning: Always unplug the blender from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
• Glass Jar and Lid: The 6-Cup Boroclass Glass Jar and its lid are dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. They can also be washed by hand with warm, soapy water.
• Blade Assembly: The Crush Pro 4 Blade assembly can be detached from the jar for thorough cleaning. Exercise caution as the blades are sharp. Wash with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
• Blender Base: Wipe the blender base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water or any other liquid.
• Storage: Store the blender in a dry place. Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing.

Troubleshooting

If your blender is not operating as expected, please check the following common issues:

• Blender Does Not Turn On: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the toggle switch is in the 'ON' position.
• Ingredients Not Blending Properly: Ensure the jar is properly seated on the base. Add more liquid if the mixture is too thick. Cut larger ingredients into smaller pieces.
• Loud Noise/Vibration: This may indicate that the jar is not properly aligned on the base or that the ingredients are too dense. Stop the blender, adjust the jar, or add more liquid.
• Leakage from Jar: Ensure the blade assembly is tightly secured to the bottom of the jar and that the gasket is correctly in place. Also, check that the lid is properly sealed.
