•
Do not use the appliance outdoors.
•
Do not leave your Chef Series Power Blender unattended
while it is operating.
•
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of tables, counters,
or touch hot surfaces.
•
Always make sure that the Pitcher is locked securely in
place before engaging the motor. Do not remove the
Pitcher before the blender is finished operating.
•
Make sure that the Control Dial is in the standby position
with the Position Indicator pointing toward the Power
Indicator Light after each use. Make sure that the motor
stops completely before disassembling.
•
Do not place your fingers or other foreign objects into the
appliance while it is operating. If food becomes lodged
in the blades, turn off and unplug the appliance before
trying to remove the ingredients.
•
Do not use the appliance if any of the parts are damaged.
•
Do not use without Lid in place.
•
Keep hands and utensils away from the moving blades
while the appliance is engaged to reduce the risk of
severe injury or damage to the blender or person.
•
Do not place the appliance on or near a hot gas burner,
hot electric burner, or in a heated oven.
•
When cleaning, do not submerge the Motor Base (with
electrical parts) in any liquid; instead use a soft, wet cloth
to wipe down. The Chef Series Power Blender Motor Base
is NOT dishwasher safe.
•
Caution: Blades are sharp and can cause injury! Handle
and clean with care. Wash using a brush or gloves. Do not
touch the blades in the base of the Pitcher.
•
Do not operate the blender when the Pitcher is empty.
•
Do not operate this appliance with an external timer.
When blending thick or tough ingredients for a prolonged
period of time, the temperature monitoring system may
shut down the motor to prevent overheating. This may
also occur when the blender is overloaded. Unplug the
blender and place the Motor Base in a well-ventilated
area, allowing it to cool down for 45 minutes. Try removing
some of the ingredients before continuing to blend.
•
Make sure the Lid is closed tightly during blending to
prevent liquid from splashing out.
•
Keep hands and utensils out of the Pitcher while the motor
is running to prevent injuries or damages.
•
When making hot food, it is highly recommended to start
at a low setting and gradually increase the speed setting,
or simply use the “Pulse” mode.
•
When using your Power Blender, only add 2-3 cups of
ingredients at a time. When blending manually using only
dry ingredients, please keep the blending time below
2 minutes to prevent the motor from overloading or
overheating. If the motor stops abruptly, allow the motor
temperature to decrease before continuing to blend.
•
Always place soft or liquid ingredients in the blender
before adding hard ingredients or ice cubes.
•
Wait until the blades come to a complete stop before
removing the Pitcher. If not done accordingly, the drive
gear may become damaged.
•
If the Motor Base gives off a burnt smell, immediately turn
off and unplug the Power Blender. This can be caused by
abrasion of the rubber bottom of the Motor Base. Make
sure that the Motor Base is stable and that the appliance
is properly assembled. Allow appliance to cool for at least
10 minutes before resuming use. If the smell persists,
discontinue use and call customer service.
•
When blending tough ingredients at a high speed, begin
blending at a low speed. If the blender does not mix the
ingredients to your preference, disconnect the appliance
and use the Tamper to incorporate the ingredients and
release any captured air in the Pitcher. Close the Lid and
continue blending.
•
Extension cords are not recommended for use with this
appliance. However, if an extension cord must be used,
make sure the electrical rating of the wire is compatible
with the Power Blender.
•
Improper use of the Power Blender can result in property
damage or even in personal injury.
•
StoreBound shall not accept liability for damages caused
by improper use of the appliance.
•
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not completely fit in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
attempt to modify the plug in any way.
•
Do not operate the appliance for more than 10 minutes at
a time.
