Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or disposal.
2. Clean: Before first use, wash all removable parts (glass jar, lid, blade assembly) in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The glass jar and removable parts are dishwasher-safe.
3. Assemble:
   • Place the blender base on a clean, dry, and stable surface. The base features non-skid suction feet for stability.
   • Ensure the FusionBlade 4-point stainless steel blade assembly is securely attached to the bottom of the glass jar.
   • Place the glass jar onto the blender base, aligning the tabs on the jar with the slots on the base. Twist clockwise until it locks securely into place.
   • Place the lid firmly onto the glass jar. Ensure the clear lid insert (which doubles as a 1-ounce measuring cup) is in place.
4. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The base has a cord storage feature to keep your counter tidy.

3. Pulse Function: For short bursts of power or to control consistency, press and hold the "P" (Pulse) button. Release to stop. This is ideal for chopping or quick mixing.
4. Stop Blending: Press the "0" (Off) button to stop the blender.
5. Remove Contents: Unplug the blender before removing the lid and pouring out contents.
