IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons including the following:

Read all instructions before using this product.
To protect against electric shock, do not place or immerse cords, plugs, or appliances in water or other liquid.
This appliance is not intended for use by children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. 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. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
Never leave appliances unattended when in use.
Unplug from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. To disconnect, turn any control to OFF, then unplug the power cord from the outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
Avoid contacting moving parts.
The flashing light indicates ready to operate (models with standby mode). Avoid any contact with blades or moveable parts.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Do not attempt to replace or splice a damaged cord. Return the appliance to the manufacturer (see warranty) for examination, repair or adjustment.
For appliances with markings on the plug blade: This appliance has important markings on the plug blade. The attachment plug or entire cord set (if the plug is molded onto the 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 manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
Do not use it outdoors or for commercial purposes.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
Keep hands and utensils out of the 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.
Blades are sharp. Handle carefully, especially when removing the blades from the container, emptying the container, and during cleaning.
To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter-assembly blades on the base without the jar properly attached.
Always hold the container while operating the appliance. If the container should turn when the motor is turned ON, switch the appliance OFF immediately and tighten the container in the threaded bottom.
Always operate the blender with the cover in place. Always wait until all moving parts have stopped before removing any lid or cover.
When blending hot liquids, remove the centerpiece of the two-piece cover (if a two-piece cover is provided). Beware of steam. Do not blend boiling liquids.
Do not use the appliance for other than intended use. Misuse can cause injuries. Always use the appliance on a dry, stable, level surface. Never fill beyond the MAX fill line.
For containers with no lids or vents (when inserted in the blender), such as personal Blend and Go containers:
Do not blend carbonated, hot, or boiling liquids and ingredients, as this may create pressure buildup. Only blend non-carbonated liquids and ingredients that are at room temperature or cooler. If the container is warm to the touch, allow to cool before opening.
Do not use the blender for longer than 1 minute at a time to avoid heat and pressure buildup. Allow to cool for 1 minute between cycles.
For appliances with food processor or food chopper attachments:
Keep hands and utensils away from moving blades or discs while processing or chopping food to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the food processor or chopper. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the food processor or chopper is not running.
To reduce the risk of injury, never place the cutting blade or discs on the base without first putting the container properly in place.
Be certain the cover is securely locked in place before operating the appliance.
For food processors: Never feed food by hand. Always use a food pusher.
Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS:

A short power-supply cord or detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in 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 long detachable power- supply cord or extension cord is used on short-cord models:

The marked electrical rating of the detachable power supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
When the product is of the grounded type, the extension cord shall be a grounding-type 3-wire cord; and
The longer 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.

Do not pull, twist, or otherwise abuse the power cord.
Do not wrap the power cord around the main body of the blender during or after use.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

USING THE PRE-PROGRAMMED SETTINGS

To cancel the program at any time, press the POWER button.

THE ADD LIQUID FUNCTION

ActiveSense Technology™ has the ability to sense when there is not enough liquid in the jar to properly blend. If the blender senses this issue, it will stop blending and display an “Add Liquid” notification. Add more liquid and press the Start/Pause button to resume blending.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Blases are sharp. Handle carefully.

CAREFULLY release the blade from the Blending Jar or Blend-N-Go® Cup by turning the Threaded Jar Bottom counterclockwise.
Filler Cap can be used as a tool to hold the jar bottom for better grip while unscrewing. The bottom of the Filler Cap will mesh with the center of the jar bottom and act as a handle.
The Blending Jar, Jar Lid, Filler Cap, Blade Assembly, and Blend-N-Go® Cup are dishwasher safe. Use the top rack of the dishwasher for the Jar Lid, Filler Cap, and blade assembly. Place the Sealing Ring into the bottom basket of the dishwasher.
You can also wash the parts in warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry. Wipe the base with a soft, damp cloth to clean.
Reassemble the blender for storage. Leave the Jar Lid open a gap so no odors are retained. CAUTION: Never submerge the blender base in a liquid.

CAUTION: Never put the Jar, or any other parts, in a microwave oven. Never store foods or drinks in the Jar.

TIP: Run blender with soapy water for 20-30 seconds on Low or Medium Speed for cleaning without disassembly. Follow with a clean water rinse. This appliance has no user-serviceable parts. Any servicing beyond that described in the Cleaning Section should be performed by an Authorized Service Representative only. See Warranty Section.
