on/off Switch:

  

Always start the machine with the High/Variable switch in the  

Variable ( ) position and the Variable Speed Dial pointed to 1. 

Lift the 

 

On/Off Switch to the On position (|) to begin blending.  Press the switch to the  
Off position (O) to stop blending. 

High/Variable Switch:  

Variable ( ) allows use of the Variable Speed Dial.  

High ( ) is the fastest speed available. 

Variable Speed Dial: 

 The Variable Speed Dial selects blade rotation speeds from 

1 to 10 (low to high).

Container:  

Ounces, cups, and milliliters are clearly marked.

  CAUtIon:

 

Lids and tampers are not interchangeable between different 

container styles, types, and sizes.

 

2-Part Lid:

 The 2-part Lid is easy to put on and take off and easy to clean. Always 

use the lid and the lid plug during blending. 
Snap the lid onto the container and leave in place for a few minutes. Once the lid 
has been left on the container, it will be much easier to lock or remove.

Lid Plug:

 Insert through the lid and secure by  turning clockwise. Remove the lid 

plug to use the tamper or add ingredients.

tamper:

 The tamper allows you to accelerate the process of very thick and/or 

frozen mixtures that cannot be processed in a regular blender. Using the tamper 
maintains circulation by preventing air pockets from forming during blending. 

to Lock the Lid in Place: 

Position the lid on the container with the lid flaps midway 

between the spout and the handle. Push the lid onto the container until it locks 
into place. The lid must always be secured when processing, especially when 
blending hot liquids that may scald. 

never operate the blender without checking 

to make sure that the lid is securely locked in place.
to Remove the Lid:

 Lift up on one lid flap, while holding the container securely.

to Remove the Lid Cap: 

Rotate the lid cap anti-clockwise from the “locked” to the 

“unlocked” position and lift out.

Power Cable: 

Your machine is equipped with a long power cable. Store the unused 

portion neatly underneath.

Bottom View/Cable Wrap: 

Plastic cable retainers hold the cable securely. They are 

flexible and return to position after the cable is lifted out.

WARNING

Rotating Blades Can 

Cause Severe Injury.

Do not

 reach into the container while the 

machine is running.
