USING YOUR BLENDER & CHOPPING JAR
BEFORE FIRST USE
•
Make sure the voltage in your outlet is the same as the voltage indicated on
the appliance. This appliance is for 120 –Volt AC electrical outlet only.
• The chopper bowl is equipped with a safety locking system to increase secu-
rity during operation. The chopper function will not work if the chopper
bowl, blades and cover are not properly locked in place.
• Remove any bags, labels or stickers from the appliance.
• Clean the main unit with a damp soft cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly.
• Wash all of the removable parts – chopper bowl, blades and lid, blending mug
and blending lid using a sponge, warm water and mild dish detergent. Rinse
and dry carefully. Do not wash in an automatic dishwasher.
• Wash the blending wand with mild dish detergent and rinse under running
water, being careful not to allow water to enter the hollow shaft. Dry thor-
oughly.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
•
Do not immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid when cleaning.
• Remove blade if you plan to store the chopper bowl in the refrigerator.
• Do not put the chopper bowl or the blending mug in the microwave
HOW TO USE YOUR BLENDER
Best for blending liquids, including soups, gravies, lattes, salad dressings, powdered
drink mixes and sauces. It may also be used to combine dry ingredients or to
emulsify. This blade stirs while adding a minimum of air to the mixture.
1. Wash and dry all components thoroughly as stated above.
2. Assemble with blender components. Always be sure that the appliance is
properly assembled before using. Blender blades are extremely sharp; never
touch the cutting edge of blades.
3. Insert the detachable blending wand into the main unit’s lower part by turning
the foot clockwise.
4. Add ingredients into the blending mug or other container that is tall enough
to avoid splashing. Add ingredients a little at a time to ensure proper blending
and to prevent overflow. Never fill container more than ¾ full; the action of
the blade and immersing the wand into the container will cause ingredients to
rise in the container. Make large recipes in multiple batches.
5. Unless the recipe states differently, pour liquid ingredients into the blender be-
fore solid ingredients. The liquid will help the processing time go faster.
6. Plug the appliance into the power outlet.
7. Dip the blending wand as deeply as possible into the mug, but only up to
within one inch of the connection to main unit; then select the speed, switch
on the unit by holding the speed selector button on the front panel.To avoid
splashing, do not turn the unit on until the blade is beneath the surface of the
