IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using the electrical appliance, the below basic safety precautions should be followed:

1. Read all instructions.

2.  Before using check that the voltage power corresponds to the one shown on the appliance nameplate.

3.  Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter

4. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

5.  If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by qualified electrical person in order to avoid a hazard or the product must be disposed.

6. Avoid contacting moving parts.

7.  Do not leave foreign objects, such as spoons, forks, knives or the measuring cup, inside the jar as this will damage the blades and other components when starting the machine and may cause injury.

8. Blades are sharp, handle carefully.

9.  The use of attachments, including jar, jar lid, not recommended or sold by manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

10.  The jar should not be more than 2/3 full when the tamper is used when blending.
    IMPORTANT! To avoid damage to the blender do not exceed 30 seconds of continuous blending when using the ‘tamper’.

11.  When making nut butters or oil-based foods, do not process for more than one minute after the mixture starts circulating. Over-processing can  cause dangerous overheating.
    CAUTION: When blending hot liquids or ingredients, use caution: spray or escaping steam may cause scalding and burns. DO NOT FILL THE CONTAINER TO MAXIMUM CAPACITY. Always begin processing on the  lowest speed setting. Keep hands and other exposed skin away from the lid opening to prevent possible burns.

12. Turn all controls to OFF/STOP and unplug the blender when it is not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
    IMPORTANT! Never leave the appliance unattended during use.

13.  To protect against risk of electrical shock do not put motor unit or power cord in water or other liquid.

14.  Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to reduce the risk of  severe injury to persons or damage to the blender.

15.  If scraping is necessary, turn the power OFF, disconnect from electrical power outlet, and use a rubber spatula only.
    IMPORTANT! Never operate the blender without the jar lid in place.

16.  Never use non-food items in the jar when blending.

17. To avoid possible injury, do not open the lid until the blade has come to a complete stop.

18.  Do not put hands or other objects into the jar during use.

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

KNOW YOUR BLENDER

Function switch: With “Soup” and “Pulse” for selection.
Speed dial: Turn the dial to choose from manual speed settings from “Low” to “High”. Once you select a speed, the blender will run until you turn it back to “STOP”.
Tamper: The tamper allows you to accelerate the process of very thick and/or frozen mixtures  that cannot be processed in a regular blender. If food is not circulating the  machine may be overloaded or may have a trapped air bubble. Using the tamper helps to maintain circulation by preventing air pockets from forming. While the machine is running, remove the measuring cup, and through the hole in the lid insert the tamper and use it to press ingredients into the blades  as  you make frozen ice creams, nut butters, etc.
Resettable fuse button: Incorporated to protect the motor from overheating. If the motor shuts off while in use: turn Power Switch to “OFF” and unplug from  mains power outlet. Remove the  jar from the motor unit and free the blade of any obstructions. Wait 30-45 minutes for the unit to cool down. Press external resettable fuse button on the bottom of the motor unit.

NOTE:

1.  “Function switch” is interlocked with “Speed dial”. When operating “Function switch”, “Speed dial” is invalid; and when operating “Speed  dial”,“Function switch” is invalid.
2. The jar must not be more than 2/3 full when the tamper is used during blending.
3.  Do not use tamper for more than 30 consecutive seconds (to  avoid overloading the motor).
