For safety purposes your blade assembly is designed to not fully remove from
your blender jar.
Your blender lid is designed to defeat operation of the blender unless the lid is
properly in place. You will notice three tabs on your blender lid, and two tabs on
your blender jar. The straight tab on the blender lid is used to engage the safety
interlock in the handle (Figure 1). Place the blender jar in front of you with the
handle facing to the right. Place the lid on the jar with the lid tabs to the left of
the tabs on the glass. Turn the lid counter clockwise until the straight tab is fully
engaged in the handle interlock above the handle and you cannot turn the lid
any further.

Blender Helpful Hints
1
Before operating the blender, make sure the blender jar is properly assembled
and in place on the motor base as outlined in the “Assembling Your Blender”
section on page 6. Put ingredients in jar and firmly attach lid. Always add
liquid ingredients first followed by solid ingredients.
•
Your blender is equipped with a safety interlock that will prevent operation unless the
lid is properly placed on the blender jar, and the blender is properly placed on the
motor base. See Assembling Your Blender page 6.
Remove the lid cap while blending hot liquids; this will release any steam and
condensation that may build up inside the jar.
Do not place any utensil (spatula, fork, etc.) in the blender container while the
blender is operating. If you need to scrape ingredients from the sides of the jar, first
stop the blender and wait for the blades to completely stop moving.
When blending solid foods, always cut them into no larger than 1/2 inch to
1-inch pieces before placing them into the jar. Blend no more than 1/2 cup of these
foods at a time for uniform blending.
Remember that ice cubes vary in size and shape. Smaller ice cubes can be chopped
or crushed faster than larger ones. To add ice cubes to mixtures while the blender is
operating remove the lid cap and drop through the opening. Never attempt to crush
ice utilizing your food processor bowl.
If too much food is blended at one time, the motor may stall. If this happens, stop
the blender. Remove a portion of the food; repeat the blending process.

This blender has 7 speeds or functions. Select the speed that best suits
your blending task. The indicator light will glow and indicate which speed you
have selected.
To add ingredients while the blender is on, remove the lid cap and drop
ingredients through the lid opening. Replace the lid cap securely when done.
Do not place your hands into the blender jar with the blender plugged in.
•
•
To start blending, press the On button and then select the desired speed. You can
change speeds during the blending process. When the blending process is
completed, press the Off button or re-press the currently selected speed button.
This blender is equipped with a Pulse function which allows you to pulse the
blender on and off at the desired speed without turning the blender off each time.
To utilize the Pulse function press the On button and then press the Pulse button.
You will notice that the Pulse indicator light will blink. Select the speed that you
wish to pulse and hold the button down for the desired time to pulse. Once you
remove your finger from the desired speed the blender will stop operating. Press
again to continue operation. To turn the pulse function off simply press the Pulse
button and the Pulse indicator will stop blinking.
•
•
•
Always add liquid ingredients first, followed by solid ingredients.
To add food or liquid while the blender is operating, remove the lid cap from the
blender jar cover and drop the ingredients through the opening. Remember to replace
the lid cap when you have finished adding the ingredients.
•
•
•
Avoid over-blending. Usually, you will need to blend for only a few seconds,
not minutes.
This blender is not intended to do any of the following tasks: grind meat, mash
potatoes, whip cream, knead dough, whip egg whites, or serve as a juice extractor.
Never place any of the following ingredients into the blender jar: bones or large
pieces of solidly frozen foods. If the food cannot be cut with a knife, do not place
in the blender jar.
Cleaning Your Blender
Unplug your blender and remove glass jar from blender base by lifting straight up.
Rinse with warm water to remove any large food particles that may have accumulated
in the jar. For safety purposes your blade assembly is designed to not fully remove from
your blender jar. When cleaning your blender jar by hand always ensure that the jar is
removed from the motor base, and that the motor base is unplugged. Extreme caution
should be used when cleaning your blender jar as the blades are very sharp.

Be sure the unit is unplugged. Place the work bowl on the
food processor gear box collar and twist counter-clockwise to lock
in place (see figure 1).
The feed tube on the bowl can be used to add ingredients for processing. Use the
food pusher to push ingredients through the feed tube. You can also use the pusher
to seal off the feed tube while the appliance is running to prevent dust from entering
or foods/liquids from escaping.

Place the assembled work bowl and gear box onto the
motor base.
If using the stainless steel chopping blade simply place it over
the shaft and allow it to fall freely to the bottom of the bowl.
Do not force the blade into the bowl. If the blade does not fall
freely simply turn it slightly left or right and place it onto the
shaft (see figure 2).

Precut large chunks of food to fit the size of the feed tube.
For best results, fill the feed tube evenly.

If using the reversible slicing / shredding disc first place the
stem adapter onto the gearbox shaft with large opening facing
down (see figure 3) and allow it to fall freely down onto the shaft.
Do not force stem adaptor onto the shaft. Then place the
slicing/shredding disc onto the stem (see figure 4) by matching
the shape of the stem adaptor to the slicing/shredding disk.
Press the ingredients down slowly and steadily with the pusher.

a. If shredding ensure that the raised shredding holes are on
top, if slicing ensure the raised slicing blade is on top.
•
When processing large quantities, process small batches at a time and empty the
bowl between batches. Caution: Blades are very sharp. Use care when handling.
5
Place the lid on the bowl by turning it counter-clockwise until
the lid clicks into place (see figure 5). The feed tube should be
in the same position and side as the handle. Place the food
pusher into the feed tube (see figure 6).
Stainless Steel Chopping Blade
Use the stainless steel chopping blade for chopping, mixing,
blending, pureeing and preparing crumbs, and short crust pastry.
Note: Your food processor features a safety interlock system.
The unit will not operate unless the bowl and bowl cover are
properly aligned and locked into place.
•
•
•
Cut food into 3/4” pieces for best results.
Use the pulse feature to prevent over-processing.
Plug unit into a 120-volt 60 Hz AC only outlet. Turn the unit
on by pressing the On/Off button and then pressing the “Proc”
button. Use the food pusher when using the slicing or
shredding disks. Press the food down slowly and steadily
with the pusher.
Most foods should take 10 to 60 seconds to process. Avoid
letting the appliance run continuously.
•
If food sticks to the blade or side of bowl while processing, turn the unit off,
remove the lid, and use a spatula to remove or scrape down the ingredients.
IMPORTANT: Use GENTLE force to press down on the food
pusher. Excessive force could cause damage to the disk.
When using the stainless steel chopping blade to chop, mince or puree, do not exceed 2
cups of liquid ingredients or 3 cups of dry ingredients. Use maximum quantity, and
then empty bowl for another batch.

To stop your food processor, press the on/off button or
re-press the “Proc” button. Wait until the blade or disc comes to
a complete stop before removing the lid or bowl.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
There is nothing more refreshing, or feels more wonderful on your tongue than
gelato. Less firm than ice cream or sorbet, yet more fruit flavored intense. There
are tons of flavors of frozen fruit concentrate in your freezer section of the grocery
store, like coconut, tangerine, passion fruit, and guava. Experiment with them
all. On lemonade, we add 3 tablespoons of yogurt to blender and puree. It's like
divine lemon custard.

With the motor running, remove clear plastic cap on blender and gradually
pour the peanut oil into the blender until smooth. Pour into a jar and
refrigerate, covered, until needed.
