Instructions For Use
CAUTION: Keep hands and utensils out of the Container
while blending to prevent the possibility of severe injury to
persons or damage to the unit. A scraper may be used but
must only be used when the unit is not running.
CAUTION: Use extreme care when handling the Blade
Assembly. Do not touch the Blades with your fingers. The
Blades are very sharp and can cause injury if touched.
1. Place the Motor Housing on a clean, dry surface to prevent
debris being pulled into the motor during operation.
2. Make sure that the Blade Assembly, Rubber Seal Ring and
Collar are properly assembled and securely fastened to the
Blender Container. See
Assembly Instructions
for details.
3. Place the Blender Container on the Motor Housing, making
sure it is properly seated and not tilting to one side.
CAUTION: Never place the Blade Assembly on the Motor
Housing without the Blender Container being completely
assembled and securely tightened.
4. Add ingredients to the Blender Container. Align the spout seal
of the Lid with the spout of the Blender Container and firmly
press the Lid down into place.
NOTE:
Do not fill the Container with more than 52 ounces of
ingredients (6 1/2 cups).
Never operate the Blender when
the Container is empty.
5. Insert the Measuring Cap into the center of the Lid and press
down to engage the tabs. The Measuring Cap may be removed
as needed to add additional ingredients during processing.
However, when processing hot foods or liquids, remove the
Measuring Cap to allow steam to escape and to prevent pres-
sure build-up.
6. At the start of the blending process, the powerful motor may
cause the liquid to surge against the Lid and cause leakage. To
prevent leakage, as well as steadying the unit, place one hand
firmly on top of the Lid and select your desired blending func-
tion. Never lean over the Blender when it is started or while it is
running.
