OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PRODUCT MAY VARY SLIGHTLY FROM ILLUSTRATIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into an AC electrical outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other electrical outlet.

CORD PLUG
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 into the outlet, reverse the plug and try again. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
This appliance has important markings on the plug blade. The attachment plug or entire cord set is not suitable for replacement. lf damaged, the appliance shall be replaced.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from 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 cord or extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
2. 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.

BLENDING HINTS AND TIPS

• If ingredients stick to the sides of the plastic jar during the blending process, the contents need to be pushed back into the blending zone of the blades. DO NOT DO THIS WHILE THE BLENDER IS RUNNING. Press the OFF button and unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Remove the lid and with a plastic or silicone spatula, scrape the contents from the sides of the jar. Replace the lid before continuing to blend.
• Do not over load the blender jar. This blender is intended to process regular household quantities.
• For better and more even blending performance, cut vegetables into wedges or strips. Cut other food into 1” cubes.
• Do not place anything other than liquids or food inside the blender jar before adding solid ingredients.
• This blender is not meant to knead dough or mash potatoes.
• NEVER place hot or boiling ingredients into the blender jar. If blending warm ingredients, do not fill blender jar with more than 2 cups of ingredients.
• Follow recipe directions, but as a rule of thumb add liquid ingredients into the blender jar before adding solid ingredients.
• Heavy ingredients and mixtures will blend more evenly by using intermittent pulses of about 10 seconds.
• Do not run blender for more than 1 minute without turning off the blender motor and allowing the ingredients to slightly settle. This will help prevent over-blending.
• The blender motor will not operate without the plastic jar positioned correctly on top of the blender base.
• Do not remove the blender lid while operating. To add liquid ingredients while blending, remove the center piece of the two-piece lid and pour ingredients through the opening. Do not put a utensil or any other object through the opening in the lid.
• NEVER store foods or liquid in the jar.
• To reduce wear on the blade assembly and motor, add solid foods in ½ cup increments.
• If a recipe requires different speeds for blending, blend a portion at a time.
• When crushing ice, start with 4 to 6 ice cubes and add 1 to 2 ice cubes at a time. The type of ice cube used does matter. It is recommended to use only large, solid ice cubes from the freezer. The ice cubes also should not be wet.
