Introduction

The Precise Blend 300 is strong and adaptable, making it ideal for preparing and producing smoothies. It can also be used to help make wonderful, enticing, and delectable meals. With a blast of extra power at startup, the 700-watt motor propels materials into the blade for smooth blending, and a variety of settings offers plenty of possibilities for the ideal consistency. This effective countertop blender works excellent for whipping up fruit smoothies, mixing frozen margaritas, blending pureed soups, stirring up zesty salsas, and more. It has a sleek modern design and a strong 450 watt engine. Ingredients may be added to the huge 5 cup scratch-resistant glass jar, the lid can be closed, and a speed option can be made from the push button control panel. Select from 16 speed settings, including grate, mix, shred, grind, mash, liquefy, frappe, stir, beat, puree, chop, whip, pulse, ice crush, and more. You may also choose between low power and high power. The device has razor- sharp stainless steel blades for smashing ice, and it has an exclusive all- metal drive system where the two connecting parts from the motor to the blade are composed of metal (instead of plastic). For improved durability and long- lasting performance (rather than plastic). The glass jar can be easily cleaned by putting it in the dishwasher, which is the best part. The blender, which measures about 8 3/5 by 10 1/5 by 14 inches, could be best placed out on the counter for simple, regular access from breakfast smoothies to party drinks.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

• Unplug cord from outlet when not in use or before cleaning.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug or motor base in water or any other liquids.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
• Never leave appliance unattended when in use.
• Close supervision is necessary when used by or near children.
• Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to prevent personal injury or damage to the blender. A rubber spatula may be used only when the blender is not running.
• The blade is sharp. Handle with care.
• To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter-assembly blades on base without jar properly attached.
• Always put the lid on the jar before operating the blender.
• Do not blend boiling liquids in the blender.
• When blending hot liquids beware of steam. Remove the filler cap from the lid to allow steam to escape.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest Authorized Sunbeam Appliance Service Center for examination, repair or electrical mechanical adjustment.
• Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes; this appliance is for household use only.

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS

Please follow the instructions below to ensure the safe use of the power cord.

• This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade that is wider than the other. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.
• You may use an extension cord, if necessary, but be certain to follow these guidelines:
  • The marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least 120/127 Volt, 60 Hz, 10A.
  • The extension must be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop, will not be within the reach of children, and will not be tripped over.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this blender make green smoothie?

As long as the ingredients are green, sure it can I’m not really sure how to put this blender together. I think I’ve got it right, but it isn’t like other blenders I’ve owned. Those I simply twist the glass jar into the base and connect it to the blender motor. This one has more flimsy parts that I don’t really enjoy having to take apart and re-assemble every time.
Up against the glass base, the gray rubbery gasket will be placed. This keeps the liquid from oozing out the bottom. Then place the steel blades inside the glass jar, from the bottom, with the gray gasket in between the glass jar and the round base of the steel blades. Last comes the black plastic bottom, which screws on—it should screw on easily if placed right. Make sure it is tight.

Can this be used as a whisk? Like mashed potatoes?

I wouldn’t use it as a wisk neccesarily…but yes you could put cooked potatoes in it but you will get potato soup before you get mashed potatoes.

Is this blender bpa free?

Yes, the glass jar of the blender is BPA free.

Can mason jars be used with it?

Sorry, not sure never tried.

What blender is equal to the Osterizer dual range 16pulse matic?

I don’t know why you’re asking that question, I just know that I have been very happy with this blender.

Does it did a lot of water to get going?

It does need more liquid to get going. I use it to make smooties in the morning and im constantly having to add more liquid and using a spatula to move the ingridents around. But it eventually gets the job done.

Does it good with veggies?

YOU MUST ADD LIQUID AND HAVE THE VEGGIES ALREADY IN SMALL PIECES..DOESNT DO LARGE STUFF AND NEEDS WATER OR WHATEVER TO BLEND..

Which blender is best for grating cabbage for cole slaw?

I do my cole slaw in here. Fill pitcher with cut up cabbage. Fill with water. Pulse on off, on off until desire size pieces of cabbage. Drain in colander. Place in bowl and add dressing and parsley.

Please let me know if the base is black or nickle?

The base of this blender is brushed nickel.

How does this blender work for making baby puree?

I purchased the Oyster to make Protein shakes and smoothies. I add pieces of fresh fruit and have been pleased with the smooth blend. I would imagine it would purée fine.

Does it grind rice?

Not sure, I never tried rice

Is there any way to fit a straw (or temperature probe) through the lid without removing the lid?

The lid features a removable filler cap which allows you to add additional items as you are blending. We do not recommend inserting non-food items inside the blender while it is in use.

Is this blender glass?

Yes, the blender is made of glass.

Does this fit a wide mouth mason jar?

No, we do not recommend using mason jars for your blender. They are designed for Oster accessories only.

What is the jar skirt for and how do I attach it to the threaded jar nut?

We appreciate the opportunity to respond to your inquiry about the blender. The jar skirt is being used so you can place the jar blender on your countertop and you just have to snap threaded bottom disc and collar together. Place collar over blade and jar.

I have 2 older oster blender glass jars with the blade, gasket and plastic screw base. will

i be able to use them in this new oster blender?
I think you can if they are from the same model of Oster blender.

Do the base and blades from an older oster blender fit this blender?

If it’s the same ‘style’ it will. The design hasn’t changed in decades!

How well does this blender make almond milk?

Not very well. It’s an amazing blender for softer things like fruit and veg, but if your wanting to do almond milk I would suggest something with a higher speed to blade ratio.

Can the blade and the base be disassembled and fix smaller jar or a mason jar?

I used the base with the blade on a mason jar and it worked fine. I use this method to make my protein shake so I can take it to work.

Does the glass jar lock into position on the base when assembled for use? Or does it seat loosely?

The jar does not lock, but it will not fall off while blending.

Does it come with instructions?

Yes it does. But I would not purchase this blender. I should have listened to the other reviews. It stopped working after 3 months. Amazon gave me a refund to purchase another.

Can you blend hot cooked food?

Our classic blenders are great for smoothies, milkshakes and other cold drinks. We would not recommend blending hot food, as it may damage the glass jar.

Can you use mason jars on this blender?

Mason Jars are not compatible with this Oster blender.
