How to Assemble and Use
IMPORTANT: Your blender jar and
cutting blade assembly are subject to
wear during normal use. Always
inspect jar for nicks, chips, or cracks.
Always inspect cutting blade assem-
bly for broken, cracked, or loose
blades. If jar or cutting blade assem-
bly are damaged, do not use. Call
our toll-free customer service number
to obtain replacement parts.
The gasket is permanently attatched
to the cutting blade assembly. DO
NOT attempt to remove it.
1. Make sure blender is unplugged.
Place blender base on clean, dry
surface to keep foreign particles
from being pulled up into motor
during operation.
2. Place cutting blade assembly in
the collar. Screw collar and cutting
blade assembly onto jar.
3. Make sure collar is firmly screwed
onto the jar. If not, it may loosen
later when motor is turned on.
Fill blender jar with 1 cup (250 ml) of
ice cubes. Place lid on blender jar
then Pulse. Allow blades to come to a
complete stop between pulses.
• Processing hot foods or liquids in
the blender may cause hot liquid to
spurt out when the lid is removed.
Always remove the filler cap of the
cover before blending hot foods or
liquids. When blending hot liquids,
remove center piece of two-piece
lid. Do not fill blender jar beyond
the 3-cup (750 ml) level. Remove
filler cap and, with the protection of
an oven mitt or thick towel, place
hand on top of the blender jar lid
and hold down while blending.
Always begin processing at the
lowest speed setting. Ensure skin
and hands are covered to reduce
the risk of possible burns.
