IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions must always be followed, including the following:
- Read all instructions before using your NuWave Party Mixer.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- To protect against electric shock, DO NOT immerse cord, plug or any part of the main unit in water or any other liquids.
- DO NOT let cord hang over the edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

- Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot food, water or other liquids.
- Use this appliance on a stable work surface away from water.
- DO NOT remove the power head before the dual blades have stopped turning.
- CAUTION! Dual blades are sharp, always handle with care. When handling the blades, always hold by the plastic hub.
- DO NOT expose jars to extreme temperature changes.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
This appliance is supplied with a short power cord to reduce the risk of
entanglement or tripping. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in
their use. If an 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 longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter or tabletop where it could be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
The appliance should be operated on a separate electrical outlet from other
operating appliances due to wattage limitations. Certain models of the
appliances may have a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of an electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug
still does not fit properly, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt
to modify the plug in any way.
This appliance is intended for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
CAUTION
**** The power head needs to be unplugged from the power source before
inserting or removing any attachments and before cleaning.

CARE & CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Before First Use:
Before using the Party Mixer, wash the storage lid, cover guard, double blade,
silicone seals and pitcher in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly prior
to operation.
The cover guard, storing lid and the chopping blades may be cleaned in the
upper basket of the dishwasher only. Hand washing the pitcher is recommended.
WARNING: As with most electrical appliances, electrical parts are live
even when the Party Mixer is off.
Be sure the power head is unplugged. Do not immerse the power head in water.
Clean with a damp sponge and cloth and wipe dry.
- The blades are sharp! Always use extreme caution when handling the blades. Always hold them by the plastic holder.
- Make sure all parts are securly attached. The silicone seals around the cover guard and the rim on the bottom of the pitcher may be removed for easy clean up.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1:
Place the pitcher on a flat, level surface. Holding the blade by the plastic
material, place it onto the pin inside the pitcher.
Now, add the ingredients to be processed into the pitcher after the blade is
in place.
Step 2:
Place the cover guard onto the top of the pitcher. The guard’s spring
mechanism must be alligned properly to the pitcher. Press the cover guard down
firmly, this will allow the spring to activate the safety switch inside. This
safety switch must be in place for the power head to work.
Step 3:
Place the power head on top of the cover guard making sure that it is securely
in place. The “Party Mixer” name on the power head should be centered above
the pour spout.
Do not attempt to operate the mixer without this in place.
Step 4 & 5:
To start processing, press on the On/Off Pulse button located on the top of
the power head.
To stop processing, remove your fingers from the On/Off Pulse button.
Hold the pitcher firmly while depressing the On/Off Pulse button to ensure the
unit stays in place.
Make sure that the blades have stopped completely before removing the power
head and cover guard.
Step 6:
Remove the blade assembly by its shaft before you pour with the pitcher.
In order to obtain a better quality of chopping, operate the Party Mixer by
using the “pulse” method. If the ingredients stick to the side of the pitcher,
stop processing, remove the power head and the cover guard. Use a spatula to
move the pieces and then replace the cover guard and the power head. Continue
processing.
WARNING: Do not hold the On/Off Pulse button down continuously for more
than 20 seconds at a time.
Additional Guidelines:
- Never add ingredients into the pitcher before placing the blade assembly in first.
- Never place the blades onto the power head and then into the pitcher.
- Again, make sure all parts are securely attached before operating.
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when cleaning the chopping blades as the blades are very
sharp.

PARTY MIXER TIPS:
- The chopping blades can be used for chopping meat, fish, vegetables, cheese, etc.
- For finer chopping, increase the length of time you process.
- For coarser chopping, use the pulse button for a few seconds and monitor food texture.
- Pre-cut larger pieces to help with evenness of chopping. When chopping hard foods (e.g. meat, cheese) cut into 1-inch cubes.
- Use semi crushed ice or ice with holes in the center. This will help increase the life of the blades.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
-
Motor doesn’t start or dual blades don’t rotate:
Check that the plug is securely inserted into the electrical outlet. -
Food is unevenly chopped:
Either you are chopping too much food at one time, or the pieces are not small enough. Try cutting the food into smaller pieces of even size and processing smaller amounts per batch. -
Food is chopped too fine or is too watery:
The food has been over processed. Use brief pulses or process for shorter time. Let dual blades stop completely between pulses. -
Food collects on pouring lid or storage lid or on the sides of the pitcher:
You may be processing too much food. Turn the machine off. When the dual blades stop rotating, remove the power head and the pouring lid. Remove some of the food being processed.
For any other inquiries, please contact IBC-Hearthware, Inc.
