Electrical Safety

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug in which one prong is wider than the other. This is a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock. The plug will fit into a polarized outlet only 1 way. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to modify the plug in any way. Montgomery Ward can not accept any liability for damage or injury resulting from failure to observe these safety procedures.

How to Use

WARNING: Be extremely careful when handling blades— they are very sharp!
Note: DO NOT operate the appliance for more than 30 seconds at a time. If needed, let the motor cool for a few minutes before the next round of operation. (This can lengthen the lifespan of the motor.)

CHOPPING

1. Attach the nonslip gasket to the bottom of the bowl and place the bowl on a stable surface.

2. Position the blade over the stainless steel rod in the center of the bowl.

3. Place ingredients to be chopped in the bowl per your recipe instructions. Work in batches, if needed. DO NOT overfill the bowl (food should not exceed height of 3rd highest blade).

4.  Place the lid on the bowl, aligning the handles on each side. The gear on the top of the blade will poke through the hole in the lid.
   Note: The lid gasket must be in place on the bottom of the lid to achieve a secure fit of the lid to the bowl.

5. Insert the bottom of the motor housing, with the stainless steel panel facing you, down into the round indentation of the lid.

6. Swivel the motor housing left and right until the 4 notches in the lid align with the notches on the bottom of the motor and the gear on the blade inserts up into the center of the motor.

7. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
8. Use 1 hand on top of the lid to stabilize the bowl and use the other hand to press speed I or II per recipe instructions to chop food to desired consistency. Press the speed button with a “pulsing” motion so you can easily monitor the progress of the chopping. The motor will stop when the button is released.
9. When finished, unplug the power cord and lift the motor housing up off the chopper. Set aside.
10. Lift off the lid and carefully grasp the gear of the blade and lift the blade up and out of the bowl. Use the scraper to remove the chopped food.

BLENDING

1. Attach the nonslip gasket to the bottom of the jar and place the jar on a stable surface.

2. Position the blade over the stainless steel rod in the center of the jar.

3.  Place ingredients to be blended in the jar per your recipe instructions. Work in batches, if needed. DO NOT overfill the jar (food should not exceed height of highest blade).

4. Place the lid on the jar, aligning the 4 locking tabs. Turn the lid slightly counterclockwise to lock in place. The gear on the top of the blade will poke through the hole in the lid.
   Note: The lid must be properly locked in place or the blender will not operate.

5. Insert the bottom of the motor housing, with the stainless steel panel facing you, down into the round indentation of the lid.

6. Swivel the motor housing left and right until the 4 notches in the lid align with the notches on the bottom of the motor and the gear on the blade inserts up into the center of the motor.
7. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
8. Hold the handle of the jar with 1 hand and press speed I or II with other hand per recipe instructions to blend food to desired consistency. Press the speed button with a “pulsing” motion so you can easily monitor the progress of the blending. The motor will stop when the button is released.
9. When finished, unplug the power cord and lift the motor housing up off the blender. Set aside.
10. Turn the lid clockwise and lift it off the jar. Carefully grasp the gear of the blade and lift the blade up and out of the jar. Use the scraper to remove the food.

Troubleshooting

Make sure power plug is plugged in properly.

Check fuses or circuit breakers.
