This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the  
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a  
polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If the plug does not fit  
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a  
qualified electrician for assistance. Do no attempt to modify this plug in any way.  
Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of this polarized plug.  
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from  
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. If it is necessary to use an extension  
cord:  
A. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the  
rating of this appliance.  
B. It should be positioned such that it does not drape over the counter or tabletop  
where it can be pulled on children or tripped over.

Assembling the Blender  
1. Place the blender on a flat, level surface. Always operate the  
blender on a clean, dry surface.  
2. Place the gasket (4) around the blade assembly (5).  
3. Place the blade assembly (5) with the gasket (4) into the collar (6).  
4. Insert the assembled collar (6) into the bottom of the glass jar (3)  
and turn clockwise to secure tightly. Always do this prior to placing  
on top of the motor base.  
5. Insert the measuring cup (1) into the cover (2) and turn clockwise to  
secure.  
6. Place the cover (2) inside the top of the glass jar (3). Push in  
securely to prevent leaking and splashing. Never operate the  
blender without the cover in place.  
7. Place the jar assembly (10) onto the motor base (7) and press  
down until securely engaged.  
8. Make sure that the power switch (9) is set in the “0” off position.  
9. Uncoil the required length of the power cord.  
10. Plug the blender into a 120V, 60 Hz AC-only outlet. Your blender  
is now ready for use!  
11. Before removing the jar assembly from the blender base after use,  
be sure the power switch is in the “0” off position.  
Using the Blender  
1. Make sure that the power cord is unplugged and that the power  
switch is in the “0” off position.  
2. Check that all parts of the jar assembly are secured in their proper  
positions.  
Warning! The blade assembly must be securely tightened to the  
jar before food or liquid is placed inside the jar.  
3. Firmly place the jar assembly onto the motor base so that it is  
secure.  
Note: Never place the blade assembly on the motor base without  
the jar being completely assembled and securely tightened.  
4. Check that the power switch is set in the “0” off position and plug  
the blender into a standard polarized outlet.

English  
5. Add the ingredients to be processed into the glass jar.  
6. Put the cover with the measuring cup into the glass jar and press  
down to secure.  
7. The blender has 3 settings. Turn the power switch to the desired  
setting or press the black button to pulse. Always hold the top of  
the glass jar while blending.  
Speed Setting  
0 = Off  
Usage  
For turning off the power  
For light usage with liquids  
For mixing liquids with solid foods  
1 = Low  
2 = High  
Black Button = Pulse For crushing ice and solid foods in short,  
powerful bursts  
Note: The pulse setting does not permanently engage in the pulse  
setting. It will return to the off setting as soon as the button  
is released. Either press and hold the button in the pulse  
setting or press repeatedly.  
Operate the blender for a maximum of 60 seconds at a time or  
alternate 60 seconds on, then 60 seconds off to prevent  
overheating or consequent damage to the blender. For continuous  
blending action, set the power switch to either the Low or High  
setting. For short bursts of high speed blending, use the Pulse  
setting.  
When crushing ice alone, add a small amount of water since ice  
will not crush without some form of liquid. For best results, add  
1/2 cup of water for every 1-1/2 cups of ice. Drain any excess  
water after blending if only ice is required.  
8. After using the blender, always move the switch back to the “0” off  
setting and unplug the appliance from the outlet.  
9. To remove the glass jar, simply lift it off the motor base. It is not  
necessary to rotate the glass jar to remove it.  
10. Always clean the jar assembly after each use.

USEFUL TIPS  
• Always keep the cover on the jar while blending.  
• Always hold the jar while blending.  
• Never use any utensils, including spatulas, in the jar while the blender  
is operating. Always turn the power switch to the “0” off position first.  
• When blending solid or thick liquid ingredients, use the Pulse setting  
to prevent blades from becoming stuck.  
• If food or ice becomes clumped, turn the blender off and use a rub-  
ber spatula to redistribute the ingredients.  
• Always place liquid ingredients into the jar first, unless the recipe  
specifically states otherwise.  
• When crushing ice alone, add a small quantity of water.  
• Smaller ice cubes can be crushed faster than larger ice cubes.  
• When blending solid foods, always cut them into pieces no larger  
than 1” before placing them into the glass jar.  
• Blend no more than 1/2 cup of solid foods at a time. This will speed  
the blending process and reduce wear on the blades and motor. If  
too much food is blended at one time, the motor may stall. If this  
happens, turn the power to the “0” off position and remove a portion  
of the food. Repeat the blending process.  
• If additional foods, ice or liquids need to be added to the jar while  
blending, remove the measuring cup from the cover by turning  
counter-clockwise and add the ingredients from the opening in the  
cover. Be sure that food is cut into 1” pieces first and ice cubes are  
added one piece at a time. Wait a few seconds between adding  
each ice cube so that the blender can properly blend the ice.  
• Remember to replace the measuring cup when all ingredients have  
been added.  
• Be careful when blending hot liquids. Remove the measuring cup  
while blending hot liquids to release steam and condensation that  
would build up in the jar.  
• Avoid over-blending. Usually, only a few seconds is needed to blend  
the ingredients, not a few minutes.  
• Chill the jar in the freezer before blending frozen drinks.  
• When removing the jar from the base, be sure that the motor has  
stopped completely.

Cleaning and Maintenance  
Warning! Never immerse the motor base, power cord and plug in water or  
other liquids as this may cause a risk of fire or electrical shock. Do  
not use harsh or abrasive cleaners on any part of the blender.  
Quick Cleaning  
• Make sure that the power switch is in the “0” off position.  
• Remove the glass jar from the motor base and rinse with warm water to  
remove large food particles.  
• Fill the glass jar with 1-1/2 cups of warm, soapy water and cover tightly.  
Note: Never use boiling water as it may damage the blade assembly and  
shorten the life of the blender. Boiling water may also cause steam  
buildup and cause personal injury.  
• Replace the jar on the motor base.  
• Press the Pulse button for a few seconds and repeat several times.  
• Remove the jar from the motor base and rinse well.  
• Repeat as necessary.  
• Dry thoroughly.  
Thorough Cleaning  
• Make sure that the power switch is in the “0” off position.  
• Always unplug the blender before cleaning.  
• Remove the glass jar from the motor base and rinse with warm water to  
remove large food particles.  
• Disassemble the jar assembly parts. Be careful when handling the blade  
assembly.  
• Wash the jar, cover, measuring cup, gasket, collar and blade assembly in  
warm, soapy water.  
Note: All components of the jar assembly are dishwasher safe. The cover  
and the gasket should be washed on the upper rack of the dishwasher.  
• Dry thoroughly.  
• Wipe the power cord and the motor base with a clean, damp cloth and wipe  
dry.  
Storage  
Store the blender fully assembled and in an upright position in a clean,
