Users can add 4 new programs to meet their needs. A program can consist of several sections, each with a different speed and running time.
For example, can be replaced with a new program that has 3 sections, as shown below:
Section 1: speed = 75%; time = 30 seconds
Section 2: speed = 100%; time = 20 seconds
Section 3: speed = 50%; time = 20 seconds

The program has the following limitations:
Speed: 5% to 100%
Time: 5 to 90 seconds
Total running time in a program cannot exceed 90 seconds, i.e., some of the sections cannot be longer than 90 seconds.

NOTE: The button will act as the enter key to proceed to the next step during the reprogramming process.

To enter the new program, press both Speed Up and Speed Down buttons simultaneously while the unit is in STANDBY mode. The blender will enter new programming mode and the LCD will prompt “ADD NEW PROGRAM.”

RESETTING THERMAL PROTECTION

The blender you have purchased is equipped with an Automatic Reset Switch to protect the motor from overheating.
If your blender stops running under heavy use, turn the power switch to the STANDBY or OFF position and unplug the power cord. Empty the blender container of all its contents and allow approximately 5 minutes for the motor to cool down.
Plug the power cord back into the outlet and continue blending.

IMPORTANT — HOT BLENDING INSTRUCTIONS

To minimize the possibility of being scalded when blending hot materials, the following precautions and procedures must be observed.

Hot materials are those that are 100°F (38°C) or hotter.
Limit the number of materials processed to 1 pint.
Completely remove the center portion of the two-piece container lid before starting the motor (this will allow venting of the rapidly heated and expanded air inside the container when the blender is running).
Always start blending on the lowest speed setting, and then progress to the desired speed.
Never stand directly over the blender when it is being started or while it is running.

INSTALLING THE SOUND ENCLOSURE

NOTE: If you are installing a sound enclosure as an optional accessory, remove the standard jar pad to access the screw holes on the upper housing. This jar pad will not fit properly with the sound enclosure. To remove it, peel it back, starting in the corner and working your way over the drive coupling until it is completely off the base unit, as seen in Figures 1, 2, and 3.

Once you have finished removing the standard jar pad OR if your blender came packed with a sound enclosure, follow these instructions:
Step 1: Find the 3 screw holes located on the left, back and right sides of the upper housing as seen in Figures 4, 5 and 6.
Step 2: Place the base of the sound enclosure on the motor housing so the screw holes on the enclosure line up with the screw holes on the base. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver and the 3 screws included with sound enclosure to secure the enclosure to the base unit in the 3 locations as seen in Figures 7, 8 and 9.
Step 3: Once the sound enclosure is secured tightly, select the custom jar pad (included with sound enclosure). Please note the standard jar pad will NOT fit properly with the sound enclosure. The correct custom jar pad has a recessed area around the outer edge. It also has a curved front with tabs on the sides, as seen in Figures 10, 11, and 12. This curved area should face the front of the blender.
Step 4: Attach custom jar pad included with sound enclosure onto upper housing with the curve facing out, as seen in Figure 13. Press tightly around coupling to secure custom jar pad onto upper housing, as seen in Figures 14 and 15.

REMOVING THE SOUND ENCLOSURE

To remove the sound enclosure, unplug your blender and follow these steps:

Open sound enclosure and remove blender container.
Remove a front portion of the sound enclosure by disengaging both sides at the pivot point.
Remove rubber jar pad.
Remove 3 screws from the blender base and remove the sound enclosure.

TURNING OFF YOUR BLENDER

Whether your blender is in STANDBY mode, NEW PROGRAM mode, or the motor is running, pressing the ON/OFF button will stop the unit from running and will turn the power off. The LCD display will turn off.
NOTE: All programs and current settings will be restored next time you turn unit on.

CLEANING AND SANITIZING INSTRUCTIONS

THE CONTAINER MUST BE CLEANED AND DRIED AFTER EACH USE OF THE BLENDER ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.

Wash, rinse, sanitize, and dry the container prior to initial use and whenever it will not be used again within a period of 1 hour.
Wash and rinse container after each use.
Clean and sanitize the motor base prior to initial use and after each use.
Washing solutions based on non-sudsing detergents and chlorine-based sanitizing solutions having a minimum chlorine concentration of 100 PPM are recommended.

The following washing, rinsing, and sanitizing solutions, or their equivalents, may be used.

SOLUTION	PRODUCT	DILUTION IN WATER	TEMPERATURE
Washing	International Products

Corporation LF2100 Liquid
Low-Foam Cleaner| 1%-2%: 11/4 – 23/4 Ounce/Gallon (lower dilution of 1% for normal cleaning and up to 2% for more stubborn soils)| Room
Temperature
Rinsing| Plain Water| | Warm 95°F (35°C)
Sanitizing| Clorox® Regular Bleach (8.25% Hypochlorite Concentration)| 2 Teaspoons/Gallon (Alternately a bleach with 5.25% Hypochlorite Concentration can be used at a dilution of 3 Teaspoons/ Gallon)|

In repetitive batch-processing applications, frequent cleaning of the container will prolong the life of the blade assembly. In no case should the actual running time between cleanings exceed ½ hour.
Do not use containers to store processed foods or beverages.

TO WASH AND RINSE CONTAINER:

REMOVE CONTAINER FROM MOTOR BASE. Remove lid. Rinse the container interior and lid under running water. Add washing solution to the container. Scrub and flush out the container interior and lid to dislodge and remove as much food residue as possible. Empty container.

Empty container.
Repeat step (2) using clean rinse water in place of the washing solution.

IMPORTANT

NOTE: IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF SCALDING, THE TEMPERATURE OF WASHING SOLUTION AND RINSE WATER MUST NOT EXCEED 115˚F (46˚C), AND THE QUANTITY USED MUST NOT EXCEED ¼ CONTAINER FULL.

TO SANITIZE AND DRY THE CONTAINER:

Wipe down exterior of container with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with sanitizing solution.
Fill the container with sanitizing solution, cover, place on motor base, and run on high speed for two (2) minutes. Empty container. Dislodge any residual moisture from blade assembly by placing empty container on motor base and running on the highest speed for two (2) seconds.
