13. Make sure the motor and the blades completely stop
turning before putting on or taking off parts.
14. Keep hands, hair, and clothing, as well as spatulas and
other utensils out of blender jar and away from sharp
blades while blending to prevent the possibility of
severe injury to persons and/or damage to the Blender.
If scraping, folding, etc., is necessary, Blender must be
turned off and unplugged, and only use a rubber spatula.
15. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully and with caution.
16. To reduce risk of injury to persons, never place
mixing blades on base without blender jar properly
attached.
17. Screw on blender jar bottom firmly. Injury can result if
moving blades become exposed.
18 Always operate Blender with lid in place and in
"closed" position.
19. Always hold blender jar while processing. If the jar
should turn when the motor is switched "ON", switch
Blender "OFF" by pressing "O" button immediately and
tighten blender jar in threaded container bottom.
20. Do not fill the blender jar with ingredients hotter than
140ºF/60ºC.
21. To avoid spillage, do not fill blender jar above the
maximum level indication (5 cups/1.25 liters),
particularly when blending liquids. Always insert
stopper into the lid before you begin processing.
22. Never let the appliance run unattended.
23. When blending hot liquids, remove the stopper from
the two-piece cover. DO NOT fill beyond 5 cups/1.25
liters level. Always begin processing at the lowest
speed setting. Keep hands and other exposed skin
away from the cover opening to prevent possible burns.
24. The blender jar is made of glass and therefore
breakable. Do not drop the glass container on a
floor or hard surface. Avoid extreme temperatures.
If the glass container is very cold, rinse it well with
lukewarm water before pouring in hot liquid.
25. If the glass jar cracks, discontinue use.
26. Always make sure that the rubber sealing ring is
in the correct position before you use the Blender.
27. The blender base is intended for use only with this
blender jar. Do not substitute any other blender jar.
28. This Blender has been equipped with an automatic
safety cut-out which cuts off the power supply in case
of an overload. In this case, the pin at the bottom of
the Blender will pop out. If you push the pin back into
the appliance, it will start again.

INSTRUCTIONS
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
This Blender has a short cord to reduce the hazards of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An
extension cord may be used if the rating is equal to or
greater than the rating of the Blender. Use an extension
cord rated 13 amperes or greater. Care must be taken to
arrange extension cord so that it will not drape over
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
Operating the Blender and another appliance at the same
time from the same electrical circuit could cause an
electrical overload condition, which would blow the fuse or
trip the circuit breaker.
SPECIAL POLARIZED PLUG
INSTRUCTIONS
This Philips Blender has a polarized plug for an
added safety feature (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electrical shock:
• Plug will fit into polarized outlet only one way.
• If plug does not properly fit outlet at first, reverse it.
• If plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

Pre-cut meat and other solid ingredients into smaller pieces
before putting them into the blender jar.
For optimal blending of solid ingredients, feed a series of small
amounts into the jar rather than processing a large quantity at
once.
6
If the ingredients are still too large or chunky, switch the
Blender to off (O) position and then let it run briefly a couple
of times by pressing the M (momentary/pulse) button, or turn
the appliance off (O), wait until blades stop turning and stir the
ingredients with a rubber spatula or reduce the contents of
the blender jar and process smaller amounts at a time.
7
To crush ice cubes drop them onto the blades through the
opening in the lid while the motor is running. Remove the
crushed ice when the blender jar is 1/2 full.You may find that
using the M (momentary/pulse) button works best.
NOTE: Hold lid in place with one hand while processing ice cubes.
8
If you are processing solid and liquid ingredients at the same
time, first put the liquid ingredients in the blender jar. Add the
solid ingredients while the Blender is running.

Using the Fruit Filter
With this filter you can make delicious fresh fruit juices and cocktails.
All pits, skins, and seeds will remain behind in the filter. However, large
hard pits (e.g. peach, nectarine, avocado, etc.) should be removed
before adding fruit so as not to jam the blades.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the filter before you have poured all
liquid out of the Blender. If you do, the contents of the filter will fall
into the remaining liquid in Blender Jar.
HelpfulTips Using the Fruit Filter
Particularly when you are processing large quantities, we advise that you
do not put all the ingredients in the filter at the same time. Start
processing a small quantity, let the Blender run for a moment, switch it
off by pressing the“O” button and then add another small quantity.
Repeat this procedure until you have processed all the ingredients.
For Soy Milk
A maximum of 2 oz./50g of dry soy beans can be processed with
max. 2 cups/ 500 ml water. Soak soy beans for 4 hours before
processing them.
For Fruit Juices and Cocktails
For best results, add approximately 1 1/4 cup/300 ml water (or
other liquid for cocktails, etc.) to 5 oz./150g fruit.
