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. Always
begin processing at the lowest
speed setting. Keep hands and
other exposed skin away from the
cover opening to reduce the risk of
possible burns.
• To add foods when blender is
operating, remove filler cap from lid
and add ingredients through the
opening.
