POLARIZED PLUG  
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce  
the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the  
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact  
a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

HELPFUL HINTS  
Prepare solid ingredients by cutting into small pieces 1” – 1-1/4”  
(2 – 3 cm). Add a small amount of liquid and place small portions into  
the Blender Jar instead of a large quantity all at once. Gradually add  
more liquid through the Filler Cap opening.  
Allow hot liquids to cool to a lukewarm temperature before processing.  
Always place your hand on top of the Lid when operating.  
When chopping nuts or other dry mixtures use 3/4 cup (180 ml) at a time,  
to ensure even chopping.  
While the motor is running, ingredients can be added through the Filler  
Cap opening in the center of the Blender Lid.  
To crush ice, place the ice cubes into the Jar with the motor switched off.  
Close the Lid and press the ‘ICE CRUSH’ setting. Add a little water through  
the Filler Cap opening for more even ice crushing.  
DO NOT operate the Blender for more than 90 seconds when processing  
dry ingredients.  
DO NOT run the Blender when empty

2. Remove Blender Jar from Blender Base. Wipe the Blender Base with a damp

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled in or  
tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their  
use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the detachable  
power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical  
rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension  
cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so  
that it will not drape over the counter top or table top, where it can be pulled on  
by children or tripped over.
