• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
• Avoid contacting moving parts.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact the consumer service number listed in this manual.
• This appliance has important markings on the plug blade. The attachment plug or entire cordset (if plug is molded onto cord) is not suitable for replacement. If damaged, the appliance shall be replaced.
• The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let the plug or cord hang over the edge of table or counter.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
• Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the blender is not running.

SAFETY FEATURES

POLARIZED PLUG (120V models only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, 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.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If an extension cord is used,
   a) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
   b) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
   c) 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 unintentionally.

Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed in these instructions.

USING YOUR BLENDER

Important: Appliance should always have lid in place when in use.
Caution: Do not place blender jar onto base when motor is running.

1. Make sure appliance is OFF.

2. Place foods to be blended into jar. For best results place ingredients in jar in the following order: liquids, powders, soft foods, hard foods, ice.
   Note: You must always add a liquid before blending.

3. Place lid on jar. Make sure the pour spout and ingredient slot are closed.

4. Plug power cord into outlet.
   Note: When in use, do not leave blender unattended. When using hard foods, such as ice or cheese, keep one hand on the lid to keep blender in place.

5. Select the speed that best suits your desired task. (See SPEED CHART)

6. When blending thick mixtures, such as smoothies and milkshakes, press the Hi Pulse button for several seconds, then release. Repeat until food has desired consistency. (C) Note: Use PULSE for no more than five seconds at a time, allowing the blender to rest briefly between each pulse, no more than two minutes total. This helps break up the ice and distribute the ingredients.

BLENDING TIPS AND TRICKS

• Cut food into pieces no larger than 3⁄4” for use in the blender.
• When preparing foods that have several different kinds of ingredients, always add liquid ingredients first.
• When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar or the mixture is very thick, press the OFF button to turn appliance off. Remove the lid and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the jar and to redistribute the food, pushing food toward the blades. Replace the lid and continue blending.
• When making bread crumbs make sure blender jar is completely dry.
• When using PULSE function; use short bursts. Allow the blades to stop rotating between pulses. Do not use PULSE for more than 2 minutes.
• Use the Hi Pulse button when preparing beverages that include ice cubes or anything frozen; this helps to produce a smoother texture.
• It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest speed and then increase to a higher speed, if necessary.
• To stop blending at any time, press the OFF button.
• When blending hot ingredients, open the ingredient slot. Cover lid with a cloth to avoid splattering and only use the lowest speed. Do not blend more than 21⁄2 to 3 cups at a time.
• Do not store foods in the blending jar.
• Do not overfill the blender (the blender is more efficient with less rather than more).
• Do not run blender for longer than 11⁄2 minutes at a time. Scrape down sides of blending jar, if necessary, and continue blending.
• Do not use if blending jar is chipped or cracked.
• It is not recommended to use your blender to beat egg whites, mix dough, mash potatoes, or grind meats.

• Large pieces of frozen foods
• Tough foods such as raw turnips, sweet potatoes and potatoes
• Bones
• Hard salami, pepperoni
• Boiling liquids (cool for 5 minutes before placing in blending jar)

   Note: Always make sure blades have stopped moving before removing jar.
   Important: If the jar gets stuck on the blending base or begins to loosen from the jar base, follow these steps:
   a. Unplug the unit
   b. Turn the jar clockwise to tighten jar onto the jar base

7. Remove the jar base from the personal jar by turning counterclockwise. Then carefully remove blade assembly

8. Place the personal jar drinking lid on the personal jar and enjoy your delicious drinks on-the-go.
