Important Safeguards

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

• Read all instructions.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or blender base in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
• Avoid contact with moving parts.
• 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. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
• The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• Always operate blender with lid in place.
• Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

Parts and Features

Setup

1. Before first use, wash the blending cup, lid, and blade assembly in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The blender base should be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
2. Place the blender base on a clean, dry, and stable surface.
3. Ensure the power cord is unplugged from the electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

Blending Your Ingredients

1. Add your desired ingredients to the blending cup. Do not fill past the 15 oz (445 mL) maximum fill line. For best results, add liquids first, then soft ingredients, and finally harder ingredients or ice.
2. Securely screw the blade assembly onto the open end of the blending cup. Ensure it is tightened completely to prevent leaks.
3. Invert the blending cup and place it onto the blender base. Align the tabs on the cup with the slots on the base and twist clockwise until it locks securely into place. The safety lock feature prevents operation if not properly assembled.
4. Plug the blender into a standard 120-volt AC electrical outlet.
5. Press and hold the power button on the front of the base to begin blending. This blender features one-touch pulse operation, meaning it will blend as long as the button is held down. Release the button to stop blending.
6. Blend until desired consistency is achieved. For thicker mixtures, you may need to pulse several times or add more liquid.
7. Once blending is complete, release the button, unplug the blender, and twist the blending cup counter-clockwise to remove it from the base.
8. Unscrew the blade assembly from the blending cup.
9. Replace the blade assembly with the drink-through lid for immediate consumption or storage.

Tips for Best Results

• Do not overload the blender.
• For frozen fruits or ice, allow them to soften slightly before blending to avoid overworking the motor.
• If the blender stalls, unplug it, remove the cup, shake the contents, and re-attach.
• Do not operate continuously for more than 1 minute. Allow the motor to rest for 10 minutes between cycles if blending for extended periods.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity of your blender.

1. Unplug: Always ensure the blender is unplugged from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. Disassemble: Separate the blending cup, lid, and blade assembly from the blender base.
3. Wash Parts: Wash the blending cup, lid, and blade assembly in warm, soapy water. The blending cup and lid are top-rack dishwasher safe. The blade assembly should be hand-washed carefully due to sharp blades.
4. Clean Base: Wipe the blender base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the base in water or any other liquid.
5. Dry: Ensure all parts are thoroughly dry before reassembling or storing.
6. Storage: The compact design includes a convenient cord wrap for clutter-free storage.
