4a. If mixture stops circulating, you have likely trapped an air bubble. Either insert the
accelerator tool (sold separately, see page 12) through the lid while blending, or stop
the motor, remove the container from the base and stir or scrape the mixture from the
sides of container into the center using a rubber spatula to press any air bubbles away
from the blades. Replace the lid and continue blending.
4b. To prevent possible splashing, lightly rest your hand on the lid while turning the
machine on (except when processing hot liquids).
4c. Due to the blending speed of the machine, processing times are greatly reduced over
other manufacturers’ machines. Until you become accustomed to the speed, watch your
mixture carefully to avoid over-blending.
4d. If stopping the machine mid-cycle, use the START/STOP switch, not the ON/OFF switch.
If the ON/OFF switch was used, wait 30 seconds for power to recycle and the timer to
reset before resuming operation.
5. After the blender has been stopped, wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before
removing the lid or container from the motor base.
6.
To use the PULSE Switch to refresh drinks:
Make sure the power is ON. With the container
on the motor base, depress the PULSE switch. Release the switch to stop the motor.
7. Press the ON/OFF Switch to OFF when not in use.
Maintenance Tips:
•
Never bang the container against a surface to loosen the ingredients.
Remove the
container from the base and use a rubber spatula to remove thick mixtures from the
bottom of your container.
•
Never shake or rattle a container while in use.
• Never remove the container before the machine has come to a complete stop.
• Never start the motor before the container is in place.
IMPORTANT NOTES!
START/STOP :
The START/STOP switch on your machine is lit when power is ON. Avoid moveable
parts. The machine may stop working if it is overloaded on low speed. Reset the machine by turning
power off for 30 seconds.
THERMAL PROTECTOR:
The thermal protector may shut the motor off to protect it from
overheating. To restart, wait for motor to cool down with the power off (up to 45 minutes). Cooling
may be quickened by placing the motor base in a cool spot. (Unplug first.) To speed up the process,
try circulating the air with a vacuum or fan aimed at the bottom of the base. When the thermal
protector shuts the motor off, review your processing techniques and your instructions. Your recipes
may be too thick or have too much material in them. If the motor seems to be overheating but the
thermal overload protector has not turned the machine off, stop the machine and remove the
container from the base. Turn the machine ON and let the machine run for 20 seconds. Repeat this
step 3 times for a total of 1 minute. Be careful never to touch any moving parts while in use.
