Blender Operation – Quick Start Guide
- Read Important Safety Instructions and Warnings before use.
- Place Blender on a dry, level surface.
- Make sure power switch is in OFF () position. Plug Blender into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Place Jar on Base with ingredients and Lid in place.
- Move power switch to LOW (1) or HIGH (2) position.
Operating the Blender
ControlsSwitch on front panel allows you to control Blender for precise blending requirements. OFF ( )/LOW (1)/HIGH (2) switch will turn Blender on for continuous operation at Low or High speed or OFF.
Using the BlenderBefore you use Blender for first time, wash Jar and Lid. Refer to “Care and Cleaning” on page 6. Do not put Jar in dishwasher.To operate Blender, proceed as follows:
- Place Blender on a clean, dry, level surface. Make sure that OFF/LOW/HIGH switch on control panel is set to OFF ().
- Plug Blender into an electric outlet.
- Place ingredients to be blended into Jar.
- Place Jar onto Base. Make sure it rests securely on Base.
- Place Lid on Jar.
- Move OFF/LOW/HIGH switch to desired speed.
- When blending is complete, set OFF/LOW/HIGH switch to OFF ().Do not remove Jar from Base until unit has stopped completely.
Filling the JarWhen filling Jar with ingredients, follow these recommendations:
- Use a sufficient amount of liquid to ensure that mixture is fluid and free-running at all times. Pour liquid into Jar FIRST.
- Cut solid ingredients into pieces that are no bigger than a 1″ (25-mm) cube.
- Add ingredients to Jar in batches. Do not blend maximum volume all at once.
- Do NOT overfill Jar with ingredients. This may prevent Blender from processing ingredients properly. Process dense foods or thick mixtures in small batches, and remember that volume of product normally increases during processing.
Blending TechniquesIcy Drinks – Do not use Blender to crush large ice cubes. Blender is not designed for this. Small ice cubes or crushed ice is recommended. Pour in liquid; then add ice. Cover. Set speed at HIGH (2) and process until desired consistency is reached. Chunks of frozen fruit can be added to milk or fruit juice to produce a sherbet or slush.
Care and Cleaning
General CleaningDo not allow food residue to dry on any part of Blender. Wash and rinse Jar, and Base after each use, or whenever it will not be used again within 1 hour, as follows:
- Remove Jar from Base, and then remove Lid. Add cleaning solution to Jar. Use a washing solution of hot water (less than 115°F/46°C) and a nonsudsing detergent. Use recommended amount of detergent.
- Scrub and flush out Jar. Empty Jar.
- Fill Jar 1/4 full with fresh washing solution and place it on Base.
- Replace Lid on Jar and run Blender on HIGH (2) speed for 2 minutes.
- Repeat Step 3 using clean rinse water (95°F/35°C).
- Wipe down Jar and Lid with a soft cloth or sponge, dampened with fresh washing solution.
- Wipe Base with a damp cloth or sponge. Base contains electrical components; do not immerse in water. Do not use a high-pressure washer or use a dishwasher to clean Base.
Maintenance
Inspect Blender and its various parts and replace as follows:
| Daily |
Unplug Blender, remove Jar from Base, and then inspect Jar and cutter assembly for wear, nicks, and broken or loose blades. Replace if necessary. If blades are loose, discontinue use immediately and replace blades. Do not attempt to repair or tighten cutter assembly. See “Technical Services.” |
| Weekly | Unplug Blender, and then inspect power cord insulation and power plug for cracks. See “Technical Services.” |
| Quarterly | Replace Jar as needed if inspection finds wear, nicks, or broken or loose blades. See “Technical Services.” |
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
| Blender fails to start, or stops while it is running and cannot be restarted. |
• Check to see if unit is securely plugged into an electrical outlet.• Check to see if fuse for electrical outlet has blown or if a circuit breaker has tripped.• If motor stops during operation due to overheating, unplug and allow unit to cool down for 15 minutes. Plug Blender back in after 15 minutes to resume normal operation. |
| Ingredients will not mix properly. |
• Check to see if enough liquid has been added to ingredients. Mixture should be fluid and free-running at all times.• Solid pieces are too large. Pieces should not exceed 1″ (25-mm) cubes.• Jar is too full. Do not fill past highest graduation marking.• Blades are not sharp or are damaged. Inspect Jar and cutter assembly daily. Replace Jar and cutter assembly as needed if inspection finds wear, nicks, or broken or loose blades. See “Technical Services.”• Check to see if cutter assembly is installed properly.• Select speed to create a fluid blend. |
