How to Assemble and Use
IMPORTANT:
Your blender jar and
cutting blades are subject to wear dur-
ing normal use. Always inspect jar for
nicks, chips, or cracks. Always inspect
cutting blades for broken, cracked, or
loose blades. If jar or cutting blades are
damaged, do not use. Call our toll-free
customer service number to obtain
replacement parts.
1.
Make sure blender is unplugged.
Place blender base on clean, dry
surface to keep foreign particles
from being pulled up into motor
during operation.
2. For Models with Sure Rest
™
Base
or Jar Nut:
Place cutting blades in Sure Rest
™
base or jar nut. Set jar on top of cut-
ting blades and screw Sure Rest
™
base or jar nut onto jar.
For Models with Cutting Assembly:
Fit gasket over cutting blades. The
gasket must lie flat. Set jar on top
of gasket and screw on cutting
assembly.
3.
Make sure the jar nut, Sure Rest™
base, or cutting assembly is firmly
screwed onto the jar. If not, it may
loosen later when motor is turned on.
Your blender may have 6 to 16 speeds.
They all operate similarly. For blenders
with 10 or more speeds, first select and
push a LO or HI power button then push
desired speed button. When using
PULSE the blender will operate only as
long as button is pushed. The remaining
speed buttons will run the blender until
OFF is pushed.
NOTE:
Speed increases as the buttons
are pushed left to right.
