OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT USE OF THE DRY CONTAINER:
•
Grinding dry material for more than two minutes could damage your blender.
•
Regular use may result in cosmetic marring of the container and cause the
blades to become dull over time.
•
Grinding some herbs may release oils, causing the container to discolor
permanently.
•
Others have strong odors that may linger in the container, affecting the
flavor of other foods.
•
The grinding of some herbs and spices may also cause the blade to dull over
time, or the container to crack.
The blender motor is designed to be protected from overheating during use.
This feature will shut off the motor. The motor will possibly emit a slight odor.
If the motor shuts off due to overheating while blending, allow the blender to
cool for 20-45 minutes before beginning another blending cycle. If you continue
to experience problems after following these instructions, contact our Customer
Service Department at 1.800.848.2649 or 1.440.235.4840 for instruction.
