Care and Cleaning  
The Blender pitcher, locking collar and  
To Clean Without Disassembly  
blade assembly can be easily cleaned as  
individual components or together without  
disassembly.  
• Clean the Blender thoroughly after  
every use  
• Do not immerse the Blender base or  
cord in water  
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or  
scouring pads  
1. Put the pitcher on the Blender base,  
fill half full with warm (not hot) water,  
and add 1 or 2 drops of dishwashing  
liquid. Put the lid on the pitcher, press  
the STIR speed setting, and run the  
Blender for 5 to 10 seconds. Remove  
the pitcher and empty contents. Rinse  
with warm water until clean.  
2. To clean the lid and ingredient cup,  
wash in warm soapy water, then rinse  
and dry thoroughly.  
To Clean Individual Components  
1. Lift the pitcher assembly in a straight,  
upwards motion off the Blender base.  
Place jar assembly on a hard surface.  
Then, while holding locking collar,  
rotate pitcher counterclockwise, two  
clicks, to separate locking collar and  
blade assembly, and sealing ring from  
the pitcher. Wash components with  
soapy water. Rinse and wipe dry.  
NOTE: Pitcher can be placed in the  
bottom rack of an automatic dishwasher.  
For best results, hand washing is  
recommended for the lid, ingredient cup,  
locking collar and blade assembly, and  
sealing ring.  
3. Wipe the Blender base and cord with  
a warm, sudsy cloth; wipe clean with a  
damp cloth, and dry with a soft cloth.

Troubleshooting  
The Blender does not operate when a setting is selected:  
Check to see if the Blender is plugged  
into an outlet. If it is, press “O”, then  
unplug the Blender. Plug it back in to the  
same outlet. If the Blender still does not  
work, check the fuse or circuit breaker  
on the electrical circuit the Blender is  
connected to and make sure the circuit  
is closed.  
No indicator lights are lit.  
The Blender stops while blending:  
The Blender may be overloaded. If the  
Blender becomes overloaded when  
blending heavy ingredients, it will  
automatically shut off to prevent damage  
to the motor. Press “O” to reset the Blender  
and unplug the power cord. Remove the  
pitcher assembly from the base and divide  
contents into smaller batches. Adding  
liquid to the pitcher may also reduce the  
load on the Blender.  
All indicator lights are flashing  
at the same time.  
The Blender may be jammed. If it’s  
jammed, the Blender will stop running  
to prevent damage to the motor. Press  
“O” to reset the Blender and unplug  
the power cord. Remove the pitcher  
assembly from the base and with a  
scraper, free the blades by breaking-up or  
removing the contents at the bottom of  
the pitcher.  
Indicator lights are flashing alternately.  
The Blender turns on, but blades will not rotate.  
The pitcher is not properly secured in  
the locking collar, not allowing couplers  
to engage. Remove pitcher from base  
and fully seat into collar. Press down and  
rotate pitcher clockwise in the locking  
collar past the second “click.” This will  
allow the pitcher assembly to engage the  
coupler. See page 5 for Blender Assembly.

If the problem cannot be fixed with the steps provided in this section, then contact an  
authorized service center (see page 14).  
Do not return the Blender to the retailer – they do not provide service.

Blender Tips  
Quick Tips  
How To ...  
• In order to produce a smoother texture,  
blend with CRUSH ICE ( ) if you’re  
making beverages using ice.  
• Smaller ice cubes can be chopped or  
crushed faster than large ones.  
• Add food to this Blender pitcher in  
larger quantities than you would with  
other blenders – you can add 2 to  
3 cups (475 to 710 ml) at a time versus  
1 cup (235 ml) portions.  
• For many ingredient mixtures, start the  
blending process at STIR ( ) to  
thoroughly combine the ingredients. Then  
increase to a higher speed, if necessary.  
• Be sure to keep lid on pitcher while  
blending.  
• If desired, remove center ingredient cup  
of pitcher lid to add liquids or ice cubes  
while the Blender is operating at STIR ( ),  
CHOP ( ) or MIX ( ) speeds.  
• When operating at higher speeds with  
a full pitcher or with hot contents, stop  
the Blender and then add ingredients.  
• Stop the Blender before using utensils  
in the pitcher. Use a rubber spatula to  
mix ingredients only when the Blender  
is “O”. Never use any utensil, including  
spatulas, in the pitcher while the motor  
is running.  
• Cool hot foods, if possible, before  
blending. Begin blending warm foods  
at STIR ( ). Increase to higher speed,  
if necessary.  
Remove center ingredient cup when  
blending hot liquids and operate  
Reconstitute frozen juice: For a 175 ml  
can of orange juice concentrate, combine  
the juice and correct amount of water in  
the pitcher. Cover and blend at MIX (  
until thoroughly combined, about 10 to  
15 seconds.  
)
For a 355 ml can, combine the juice  
and 1 can of water in the pitcher. Cover  
and blend at MIX ( ) until thoroughly  
combined, about 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in  
remaining 2 cans of water.  
Dissolve flavored gelatin: Pour boiling  
water into the pitcher; add gelatin. Remove  
center ingredient cup and blend at STIR (  
until gelatin is dissolved, about 10 to 30  
seconds. Add other ingredients.  
)
Make cookie and graham cracker  
crumbs: Break larger cookies into pieces  
about 4 cm in diameter. Use smaller cookies  
as-is. Place in pitcher. In PULSE ( ) mode,  
cover and blend at CHOP ( ), pulsing a  
few times, about 3 seconds each time,  
until desired consistency is reached. Use  
the crumbs to make a quick topping for  
frozen yogurt, pudding, or a fruit compote.  
To make a finer crumb for pie and dessert  
crusts, break graham crackers or cookies  
into pieces about 4 cm in diameter and  
place in the pitcher. In PULSE ( ) mode,  
cover and blend at LIQUEFY ( ), pulsing  
a few times until desired consistency is  
reached, about 20 to 30 seconds.  
Make cracker crumbs: Follow procedure  
only on STIR ( ). Do not place bare for cookies. Use as a topping or as an  
hand on pitcher lid when processing ingredient in main dish casseroles and  
hot liquids.  
vegetable dishes.  
• Stop and check the consistency of foods  
after a few seconds to prevent  
over-processing.  
Make bread crumbs: Tear bread into  
pieces about 4 cm in diameter. Follow  
procedure for cookies. Use as a topping  
or as an ingredient in main dish casseroles  
and vegetable dishes.
