This is normal and should quickly disappear. It will not recur after appliance has been
used a few more times.

and dry thoroughly.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE BASE (MOTOR HOUSING) IN
WATER.
3. Care should be taken when cleaning the blades, as the blades are sharp.
4. Wipe exterior surfaces of the base with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust particles
collected during packing and handling.
ASSEMBLING THE BLENDER
1. Position the motor base on a dry, level surface such as a countertop or table. Be
sure the power cord is unplugged.

blade assembly, making sure all edges have been pressed down.
3. Insert the threaded end of the glass jar into the cutting blade assembly and turn
clockwise to tighten.

assembly with the dots on the motor housing and turn clockwise to lock in place.
