1. Read all instructions.
2. Observe and follow all warnings and instructions carefully.
3. Be careful and cautious when unpacking and installing the appliance. The appliance contains sharp blades that can cause injury if handled improperly.
4. Inventory all contents to ensure you have all parts necessary for the correct and safe operation of the device.
5. 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 are closely supervised and instructed on the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Close supervision is necessary when any electrical appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
6. Do not allow children to use this appliance or use it as a toy. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children.
7. To avoid the risk of electric shock, DO NOT immerse the appliance or allow the power cord to come into contact with any form of liquid.
8. Turn off the appliance, then unplug it from the outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
9. To avoid a hazard of overload, the blender must not be electrically operated through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly turned on and off by the user.
10. Do not operate the blender with a damaged cord or plug, or after the blender malfunctions, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any way. In this case, contact info01@iamzchef.com immediately for examination, repair, or adjustment of the blender.
11. GFI circuit breakers (residual current circuit breakers) may be installed in your kitchen. Look for them in outlets near sinks. If the blender does not work, unplug the blender. Reset the wall outlet or circuit breaker. If the breaker continues to trip, unplug the blender from the outlet. Let the blender rest for 24 hours before using it again. If the problem persists, contact customer service.
12. This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). This plug fits into a polarized outlet in only one way, to reduce the risk of electric shock. If the plug does not fit completely into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT modify the plug in any way.
13. This appliance has important information printed on the plug. The power cord must not be replaced. If damaged, contact info01@iamzchef.com for maintenance to avoid any danger.
14. Before use, wash all parts that may come into contact with food. Follow the washing instructions described in this instruction manual.
15. ALWAYS use the appliance on a dry, flat, and solid surface. Never use the appliance on soft surfaces.
16. Avoid touching moving parts.
17. The modification or alteration of any part of the blender base or container, including the use of parts or accessories that are not original approved parts, can cause fires, electric shocks, or injuries.
18. We do not recommend using accessories not expressly authorized or sold by amzchef with this blender, including the container, to avoid causing fires, electric shocks, or injuries.
19. Do not use outdoors.
20. THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. Do not use the blender for purposes other than intended.
21. Check if the voltage you are using corresponds to the voltage indicated on the blender.
22. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
23. Do not let the cord come into contact with a hot surface, including stoves.
24. DO NOT operate the appliance on or near hot surfaces (such as a gas or electric burner or a hot oven). Never leave an appliance unattended when in use.
25. Keep hands and utensils out of the container during blending to reduce the risk of serious injury to persons or damage to the blender. A scraper may be used, but it should only be used when the blender is not in operation.
26. The supplied tamper should only be used when the main part of the lid is in place.
27. Do not leave foreign objects, such as spoons, forks, knives, or the lid cap, in the container as this will damage the blades and other components when the machine starts and may cause injury.
28. Never attempt to use a blender with damaged blades.
29. DO NOT operate the appliance if the blade assembly is bent or damaged.
30. Before each use, check that the blades are not damaged. If the blades are bent or damage is suspected, contact info01@iamzchef.com for replacement.
31. Always use the blender with the lid and lid cap securely in place. The lid cap should only be removed when adding ingredients and when using the tamper.
32. If there are unblended ingredients sticking to the sides of the container, turn off the blender, remove the lid, and use a spatula to remove the ingredients. NEVER put your hands into the container, as there is a risk of contact with the blades and injury.
33. DO NOT attempt to remove the container and lids from the motor base while the blades are still moving. Allow the appliance to stop completely before removing lids and containers.
34. Add ingredients to the container. NOTE: do not overfill! To prevent overflow, do not add ingredients beyond the "MAX" fill line.
35. Be careful when blending liquids or hot ingredients: splashes or steam escape can cause burns and scalds. Do not fill the container more than half full. Always start using the blender at the lowest speed setting, speed 0, and gradually increase the speed. Keep hands and exposed skin away from the lid opening to avoid possible burns.
36. When preparing nut butter or oil-based foods, do not operate for more than one minute after the mixture begins to blend in the container. Longer processing times can cause a overheating hazard.
37. The blender and power cord should be stored in a safe place to prevent children from pulling or playing with the power cord.
38. Blades should be handled with care. Clean the blades in the container with extreme care to avoid injury.
39. Never attempt to use the blender without the centering plate.
40. Ensure that the container and blade base are flush with the centering plate so that the unit's groove engages with the drive cavity before operating the blender.
41. DO NOT attempt to force the interlock mechanism.
42. DO NOT use the container to heat ingredients.
43. DO NOT use the blender continuously for more than 5 minutes.
44. DO NOT attempt to sharpen the blades.
45. DO NOT expose the container to extreme temperature fluctuations.
46. Blender accessories are not suitable for microwave use. Do not place the container or lid in the microwave as it may cause damage to the accessories.
47. Extension cords are not recommended for use with this blender.
48. If the appliance overheats, a thermal cut-off will activate and temporarily disable the motor. To reset, unplug the appliance and let it cool for about 1 hour before reusing.
49. After blending ingredients, DO NOT leave them in the container with the blades engaged. Some foods may contain active ingredients or release gases that expand when left in a sealed container, causing excessive pressure buildup that could pose a risk of injury.
50. Never handle the plug with wet hands.
51. Always plug the blender in first, then plug the power cord into the wall outlet. To unplug, turn all controls to "Off", then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
52. The flashing light indicates that the blender is ready to operate. Avoid any contact with blades or moving parts.
53. Store this manual for future reference.
