This appliance shall not be used by children. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.
Turn the appliance OFF( ), then unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
Avoid any contact with moving parts.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged supply cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement and repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Call the provided customer service number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.
The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to persons.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only. Use for food or liquids only.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard:
This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

If the cutting unit blades lock and do not move, it will damage the motor. Do not use. Call the toll-free customer service number for information.

Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid. This will freeze and damage the cutting unit, jar, and motor.

Using the Blender

IMPORTANT: Your blender jar and blade are subject to wear during normal use. Always inspect jar and blade for breaks, nicks, chips, or cracks. If any parts are damaged, do not use.

Add ingredients to jar. Add drinking lid, pressing down to secure.
Plug into outlet. Always operate on a countertop or other supporting surface.
Press and hold ON button for 15 to 30 seconds or pulse ON button until desired consistency.
Unplug. To remove jar, turn clockwise and lift up.

Blending Tips:

Always add liquid first ½ cup or enough to cover cutting blades.
Do not chop or process hard foods such as cheese, crackers, or meat.
If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to the sides of the Personal Blending Jar, release Pulse Button and then unplug. Remove Lid and use a rubber spatula to push mixture toward Cutting Blades.
Do not store food or liquids in the Personal Blending Jar.
This machine is equipped with motor overload protection. If the motor stops during operation due to overheating, unplug and allow it to cool down for approximately 15 minutes. Plug machine back in to resume normal operation.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard:
Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse cord, plug, or base in any liquid.
NOTE: Clean before first use.

Unplug.
Wipe Base, Pulse Button, and cord with a damp cloth or sponge. To remove stubborn spots, use a mild, nonabrasive cleanser.
Personal Blending Jar and Lid are dishwasher safe.
DO NOT use “SANI” setting when washing in dishwasher. “SANI” cycle temperatures could damage your product. Parts may also be washed with hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not soak.

Troubleshooting

Does not blend well. Not enough liquid added to jar. For correct blending, you need to add 1/2 to 1 cup (118-236 ml) of liquid (milk, juice, yogurt) before adding other ingredients.
Pieces of ice or frozen fruits are stuck under the blade. Take jar off of the base and shake. Place on base and blend, or add more liquid. Blending fresh fruit requires less liquid than blending frozen fruit.
