To avoid overheating the motor, do not use the blender for more than 10 minutes continuously. Allow the motor to cool between uses.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of injury, avoid the blade when the unit is still rotating.

WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). 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 or force it into the outlet. This could result in injury or electric shock.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power supply extension cord is used:

The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
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.

POWER CORD SAFETY TIPS

Never pull or yank on a cord or the appliance.
To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into an outlet.
To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
Before each use, inspect the power cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced, and the power cord replaced. Please contact Chefman Customer Support for assistance.
Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove and discard all packaging materials and check to ensure that all parts and accessories are accounted for. Read and remove all removable stickers.
Wash and dry all attachments and accessories in warm, soapy water to remove any packaging debris. Rinse well and dry thoroughly. All attachments and accessories, except for the motor base, are also top-rack only dishwasher safe.
WARNING: The mixing blades are sharp. Handle them by their collars when assembling and cleaning the blender. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
Wipe down the motor base with a damp cloth; the motor base is not dishwasher safe.
WARNING: Never immerse the motor base or cord in water.

HOW TO BLEND USING THE BLENDING PITCHER
When blending large amounts, reach for the blending pitcher. Both the pitcher and the tumblers are made of sturdy, BPA-free plastic.

With blender unplugged, set motor base on a flat surface.
Choose the blade you want to use:
· For processing softer ingredients in sauces, soups, and smoothies, use the emulsifying blade, which looks like an X.
· For processing harder ingredients, such as chopping nuts and grinding coffee beans, choose the grinding blade.
NOTE: The grinding blade should only be used with dry foods; do not use it for ice.
Check that the white sealing ring is fitted into the collar of the blade; this creates an airtight seal.
Holding the blade attachment by its collar, screw it onto the bottom of the pitcher and turn it clockwise to tighten. 6
Add the ingredients to be blended to the pitcher up to the “Max” line.
WARNING: To avoid leaking and/or personal injury, never fill past the “Max” line as foods, especially liquids, rise in the pitcher when blended.
Secure the lid on the pitcher by twisting it clockwise. If the filler cap is not in already, insert it into the lid and twist clockwise until you hear a click to seal. (You can remove the filler cap during blending to add ingredients.)
Position the pitcher on the base by inserting the blade attachment collar into the motor base and fitting the locking tabs on the blade attachment into the slots on the motor base. Press the pitcher firmly down into the base, then turn clockwise until the blade attachment tabs lock securely in position.
Plug in the blender and press a speed button (HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, or PULSE) to begin blending. (See p. 9 for more information on speeds.) WARNING: Do not operate the motor continuously for more than 1 minute at a time. Allow the motor to rest for 3 minutes before continuing.
Press the OFF button to stop blending. (If using the pulse function, the unit will turn off when the PULSE button is released.)
Remove the blending pitcher from base by rotating it counterclockwise.

HOW TO BLEND IN A TUMBLER
For smaller amounts, for blending and storing, or for making smoothie drinks to go, use a tumbler.

Follow steps 1-3 from How to Blend in the Blending Pitcher on p. 6.
Add ingredients to the tumbler; do not exceed the “Max” line.
Holding the blade attachment by its collar, screw it onto the open end of the tumbler and turn it clockwise to tighten.
NOTE: The blade attachment goes on what will be the top of the tumbler after blending is done.
Position the tumbler on the base by inserting the blade attachment collar into the motor base and fitting the locking tabs on the blade attachment into the slots on the motor base. Press the tumbler firmly down into the base, then turn clockwise until the blade attachment tabs lock securely in position.
Plug in the blender and press a speed button (HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, or PULSE) to begin blending. (See p. 9 for more information on speeds.)
WARNING: Do not operate the motor continuously for more than 1 minute at a time. Allow the motor to rest for 3 minutes before continuing.
Press the OFF button to stop blending. (If using the pulse function, the unit will turn off when the PULSE button is released.)
Remove the tumbler from the base by turning the blade attachment counterclockwise, then flip the tumbler over so that the blade attachment is facing up. Twist the blade collar counterclockwise, and then lift the blade attachment up and out of the tumbler.
If drinking straight from the tumbler, press the tumbler comfort ring onto the lip of the tumbler. If taking the tumbler on the road, put on the travel lid. If storing the contents in the tumbler, put on the storage lid.

BLADE SPEED
Low

Use low speed for lighter mixtures and creamy toppings. Ideal for mayonnaise, whipped cream, salad dressings, soups, sauces, and shakes. Generally used with the emulsifying blade.
Medium
Use medium and emulsifying blades for perfectly blended smoothies, fruit and vegetable purees, hummus, and bean dips. Use medium with the grinding blade to chop softer ingredients like onions, ginger, and garlic.

High

Use high speed with the emulsifying blade to uniformly blend thick fruits and vegetables. Or use high speed with the grinding blade to chop or grind harder ingredients, such as coffee beans, nuts, and cinnamon sticks.
NOTE: Grinding blades should only be used with dry foods.

Pulse

Use pulse function for short bursts of high power or for coarse chopping and blending any food, especially when you want to be careful about over-blending. Pulse is only activated for as long as the button is pressed and ends when the pulse button is released.

WARNING: Do not operate the motor continuously for more than 1 minute at a time. Allow the motor to rest for 3 minutes before continuing.
HOW TO CRUSH ICE

If using a large pitcher, fit the pitcher with the emulsifying blade.
Fill the container of choice (pitcher or tumbler) no more than halfway with ice.
TIP: Remove ice cubes from the freezer for a few minutes before crushing.
If using a large blending pitcher, add ¾ cup of water or other liquid. If using tumblers, add ½ and ¼ cups respectively for tall and short tumblers, then attach the emulsifying blade.
Attach container to base; put on the lid if necessary.
Press the PULSE button six times, then blend continuously at high speed for several seconds.
Check contents and, if necessary, add more liquid and continue to process until all cubes are reduced to the desired consistency.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

With easy-to-disassemble parts, the blender is easy to clean.

Always turn off and unplug the Chefman Dynamic Blending System before cleaning.
Whenever possible, rinse attachments and accessories immediately after processing for sanitary reasons and to make cleanup easier.
Except for the motor base, all parts are top-rack dishwasher safe. You can also wash parts (except for the motor base) by hand with soapy water; rinse and dry well. Do not use rough scouring pads or abrasive cleansers on any plastic or metal parts as the surface may be damaged.
WARNING: Use extreme care when handling blades. Handle the blades by the collar and do not touch the blades with your fingers. The blades are very sharp and can cause injury.
If necessary, soak the blades in soapy water for 10 to 15 minutes. Use a small nylon bristle brush to remove processed food from the blade and the blade area.
Clean the motor base as needed with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry thoroughly.
WARNING: Never immerse the base or the cord in water as damage and injury can occur.
Dry well before storing.
WARNING: Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance. Never place any stress on the cord, especially where the cord enters the motor base, as this could cause the cord to fray and break.
