BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Carefully unpack the Personal Blender and remove all packaging materials. Check the contents to ensure
that all attachments and accessories are present (see Figure 1) and have been received in good condition.
Handle the blending blade attachments by its collar only.
WARNING:
Do not touch blades. Blade attachments are very sharp. Use extreme care when handling.
Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
Wash all lids in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Clean each cup before first use. Fill cup 1/4 full with clean, warm water.
Following the steps outlined in the “Making Smoothies or Dips” section, pulse several times using
the blending blade. Rinse thoroughly.
The motor base may be wiped with a damp cloth.
WARNING: DO NOT IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER.
MAKING SMOOTHIES OR DIPS
Place the motor base on a flat, clean, dry countertop or table.
Make sure the unit is unplugged.
Place the food to be processed into the cup (24-oz. /3 cups MAX).
To assemble for blending, chopping, or mixing, using the blade’s collar to handle, place the blending
(cross) blade into the tall cup.
IMPORTANT:
Check to make sure the cup ring is not attached to the cup before assembling
the blade. If it is, simply lift off to remove.
IMPORTANT:
In the base of each blade’s collar, there is a plastic gasket seal that creates an airtight fit
with the Personal Blender processing cups. After dishwashing and before each use, always check to
make sure the gasket is properly in place, as the heat from some dishwashers may cause the gasket
to become loose.
WARNING:
Never operate the Personal Blender when the processing cup is empty.
WARNING:
Never overfill the processing cup. Do not exceed the MAX line.
Hold the cup firmly in one hand. Use the other hand to tighten the cup/blade assembly by turning
the blade collar clockwise until snug (figure 2).
