HOW YOUR OSTER
TM
BLENDER WORKS
Your OSTER
TM
Blender is a multi-speed appliance which operates on a wide range
of speeds from very slow to very fast. This range of speeds makes food preparation
easy, interesting and fast.
In addition, your OSTER
TM
Blender has two distinct methods of operation:
1. CONTINUOUS run for blending, liquefying and fine chopping.
2. CONTROLLED CYCLE BLENDING, used for chopping pieces of food, such as
vegetables, nuts or cheeses. There are several different ways of operating the
CONTROLLED CYCLE / BLENDING CYCLE feature, but all involve turning the
motor on and off intermittently.
When on, food is chopped and tossed away from the blades. When off, the food is
distributed around the blades to make processing more uniform.
NOTE:
A cycle consists of operating the blender for about two seconds and then
allowing the blades to coast to a stop.
CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR OSTER
TM
BLENDER
Blender container parts are corrosion resistant, sanitary and easily cleaned. Before
first use and after every use, separate container parts by removing the threaded
bottom cap from the jar, and put the jar, cover, feeder cap, and threaded bottom cap
to clean thoroughly in warm, soapy water then rinse and dry well. Care shall be taken
when handling the sharp cutting blades during cleaning. After cleaning, assemble the
threaded bottom cap on jar properly.
Periodically check all parts before re-assembly. If the processing blades are stuck
or difficult to turn,
DO NOT USE BLENDER.
Check by carefully turning the blades
in an anti-clockwise direction
(opposite edges are sharp)
. Blades should turn freely.
If the container is chipped or cracked,
DO NOT USE BLENDER.
Further use could
result in the container breaking during use. Use only OSTER
