CLEANING

HOW TO OPERATE

Now that your RETRO BLENDER is cleaned, making perfect frozen drinks is both easy and fun!

First, find a stable surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Make sure the cord is away from any water source and then plug cord into the electrical outlet.
Fill the Pitcher with all necessary ingredients and place the Pitcher Lid back on the Pitcher. It is best to begin by adding liquid ingredients, then following with solid ingredients. Additional ingredients may be added by twisting and lifting the Blender Cap
NOTE: Do not exceed MAX fill line marked on the Pitcher.
Place the Pitcher onto the Base and lock into place.
To start blending, pull down on the Control Lever on the side. CAUTION: Do not place hands into Pitcher with blender plugged in.
Allow ingredients to blend to the desired consistency, then let go of the Control Lever.
Wait until all moving parts have stopped and the unit is unplugged from the outlet before moving or cleaning the unit. Drink up and enjoy!

HELPFUL TIPS

Blending
To achieve the best results when blending:

Always add liquid to the Pitcher before adding solid ingredients.
This will ensure that ingredients are uniformly mixed.
Cut most foods into cubes approximately ½” to 1″ to achieve a more uniform result.
To dislodge food, use a rubber spatula or plastic spoon to help remove food lodged around the blade assembly. DO NOT use spatula until you have turned off the blender. Make sure spatula is not inside the Pitcher before blending.
To prolong the life of your RETRO BLENDER, allow 5 minutes for unit to cool before using again.
DO NOT overload the blender. If the motor stalls, turn the blender off immediately, unplug the unit, and remove a portion of the food, then continue.
DO NOT leave unit running for an extended period of time. This is not a commercial unit. Odor
As with most modern blending appliances, this unit has a high RPM electric motor. It is common for the motor to emit a slight graphite or burning odor for the first few uses. After the first few uses, the odor will go away.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Follow these steps to keep your RETRO BLENDER in great condition:

Begin by disconnecting the unit from the electrical outlet. Remove plug by gripping the plug body and pulling out of the outlet. Never yank or twist cord to unplug the unit.
Thoroughly wash the Pitcher and Blender Cap in warm, sudsy water and thoroughly dry. DO NOT put the Base in water. To clean the Base, use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior and dry with a clean, dry towel.
Once washing and drying is complete, reassemble your RETRO BLENDER . It is now ready to use again.
