IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
Read all instructions before use
- To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug or motor base in
water or any other liquids. - Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
- Never leave appliance unattended when in use.
- Close supervision is necessary when used by or near children.
- Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to prevent personal injury or damage to the blender. A rubber spatula may be used only when the blender is not running.
- The blade is sharp. Handle with care.
- To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter-assembly blades on base without jar properly
attached. - Always put the lid on the jar before operating the blender.
- Do not blend boiling liquids in the blender.
- When blending hot liquids beware of steam. Remove the filler cap from the lid to allow steam to escape.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest Authorized Sunbeam Appliance Service Center for examination, repair or electrical mechanical adjustment.
- Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes; this appliance is for household use only.
- Always operate on a flat surface.
- Unplug the blender when not in use, before taking off or putting on parts and before cleaning.
- Use this appliance for its intended use as described in this manual. The use of attachments not made by the manufacturer, including canning or ordinary jar and processing assembly parts, is not recommended by Sunbeam Products, Inc. and may cause injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This Product Is for Household Use Only
The maximum rating marked on the product is based on the attachment that draws the greatest load. Other attachments may draw less power.
Power Cord Instructions
Please follow the instructions below to ensure the safe use of the power cord.
- This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade that is wider than the other. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.
- You may use an extension cord, if necessary, but be certain to follow these guidelines:
– The marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the appliance itself. The electrical ratings are marked directly on the appliance.
– The extension must be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop, will not be within the reach of children, and will not be tripped over.
– Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.

Can we blend hard nuts in blenders?
Can Oster Push Button Blenders blend hard nuts?
While the Oster Push Button Blender manual does not explicitly list "nuts" in its prohibited items, it does provide specific guidelines for processing firm foods. To blend hard nuts effectively and safely, please consider the following:
If you are attempting to make nut butter or a fine nut flour, you may need to process in small batches and use the Pulse setting to ensure the Duralast All-Metal-Drive system is not overloaded.

Where is pulse button
Where is the pulse button located on the Oster Push Button Blender?
The location of the PULSE button on Oster Classic Series blenders varies depending on your specific model. According to the manual:
If you do not see a button explicitly labeled 'Pulse,' check if one of your speed buttons has 'Pulse' written in smaller text above or below it, as some models require you to hold a specific speed button to achieve the pulsing effect.

This machine’s awesome–she’s really a computer in disguise. I have a toothless cat whose food needs to be reduced into soup–why does Blender seem to get hot, smells machiney, when I use her? I do turn her off immediately, sometimes she seems to smoke from the base. You should tell people to make sure thebase is screwed on tightly–I love being able to take it apart to clean, but got in big bad trouble when the base fell off with the Fancy Feast in it. I just want to make her happy so she lasts forever. Cheers for your wonderful engineers! Warmly, Deirdre
Why does my Oster blender get hot, smell like a machine, and smoke from the base during use, and how do I properly secure the base?
It is concerning to hear that your blender is smoking and smelling. While a new motor can sometimes emit a slight odor during its first few uses as the internal coatings heat up, visible smoke and excessive heat often indicate the motor is being overtaxed or there is a mechanical issue.
Troubleshooting the Heat and Smoke:
Proper Base Assembly:
To prevent the base from falling off and causing a mess, follow these assembly steps carefully:
Always keep one hand on the container cover while operating the blender to ensure stability.
