IMPORTANT OPERATION INFORMATION
• Make sure the cover is securely in place and keep hands away from blades and
moving parts.
• Maximum operating time: Never use the appliance continuously for more
than 1 minute at a time.
• Maximum quantity: Never overload the Chopper or Blender jars. As a guide,
the maximum volume of ingredients to be processed is about ¾ of the Chop-
per or Blender jar capacity after processing.
• Chopper and Blender jars: The jars are made of high quality plastic. However
they may become scratched when used for grinding dry fruits, beans, nuts or
some herbs. These scratches will not affect the performance or hygiene of the
appliance.
• Removing food from the sides of the jars: If during processing you find some
food sticking to the sides, unplug the unit and wait until the blades have come
to a complete stop. Remove the cover and use a spatula to scrape the food in-
ward toward the center and blades. DO NOT USE YOUR HAND OR
FINGERS.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
After each use and before cleaning, unplug the appliance from outlet and allow the
unit to stop. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN WHILE THE MOTOR IS
RUNNING OR THE COMPONENTS ARE STILL MOVING.
•
CAUTION: NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE UNIT, CORD OR
PLUG IN WATER
• Twist the jar collar, travel jar collar or blending jar in a counter-clockwise di-
rection to remove it from the base unit.
• It is recommended to wash the components immediately after each use in
warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The blades are extremely
sharp. Wash the blades carefully and avoid direct contact with the blades
themselves. The preferred method of drying is to lay on a flat surface and air
dry. Do not leave the blade where children can reach it.
• NEVER WASH THE BASE MOTOR UNIT. To clean the base, wipe
clean with a damp sponge or cloth and dry immediately. Never use excess
water, treated cloths, harsh cleaning agents, or sprays.
• Reassemble all parts and store in a dry place, unplugged and away from the
reach of children.
• Some foods may discolor the containers. This is normal and will not affect the
flavor of your food. Rub a soft cloth, dipped in vegetable oil to remove dis-
coloration.
