IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, including the following:

• Read all instructions.
• To protect against the risk of electrical shock do not immerse cords, plugs or appliances in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
• Avoid contacting moving parts.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call the appropriate toll-free number within this manual.
• The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
• Keep hands and utensils out of the 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.
• Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
• To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter-assembly blades on the base without the jar properly attached.
• Always operate the blender with the cover in place.
• When blending hot liquids, remove the centerpiece of the two-piece cover.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V models only) 

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 fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent the removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire 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 CORD 

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long detachable extension cord is used:
   • The marked electrical rating of the power cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
   • If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
   • The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
     Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed in these instructions.

BLENDER JAR ASSEMBLY

5. Turn assembled jar right side up.
6. Place lid with lid cap onto blending jar.
   Note: Do not plug in the cord.
7. Place on base, making sure it is pressed firmly into place. (Jar base should not extend more than 1⁄8-inch above the rim at the top of the base.)

USING YOUR BLENDER

1. Make sure the appliance is OFF.
2. Place foods to be blended into the jar.
3. Place lid on jar; make sure lid cap is in place.

BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

• Cut food into pieces no larger than 3/4 inch for use in the blender.
• When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar or the mixture is very thick, press the OFF button to turn the appliance off. Remove the lid and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the jar. Replace the lid and continue blending.
  Important: Blenders should always have a lid in place when in use. Caution: Do not place the blending jar on the base when the motor is running.
• The lid cap holds up to 11/2 oz. liquid and can be used as a measure when adding ingredients (D).
  
• When making bread crumbs, chopping nuts, or grinding coffee beans make sure the blending jar is completely dry. Do not run for longer than 30 seconds.
• The PULSE function is helpful when short bursts of power are needed such as when preparing thick smoothies or milkshakes, chopping nuts or grinding coffee beans, or preparing beverages that include ice cubes.
• Start blending on the lowest speed and then increase to a higher speed, if necessary.
• To stop blending, press the OFF button at any time.
• When blending hot liquids always let them cool for at least 5 minutes before blending. Before blending, remove the lid cap and put it back with
  the opened side tilted away from you. Cover the lid with a cloth to avoid splattering and only use the lowest speed. Do not blend more than 2 1/2 to 3 cups at a time.
• Blenders not recommended for hard foods such as raw turnips, bones, hard salami or sausages, and boiling liquids.
• Not recommended for whipping cream, beating egg whites, mixing dough, mashing potatoes, grinding meats, or extracting juice.
