1. Place appliance on dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge.
NOTE: Do not operate blender where dust or flour can be sucked up into the
vent openings, as this will cause damage to the blender.
2. Plug cord into a 120 volt AC electric outlet only.
3. Put liquids into the blender first unless recipes call for an alternate processing
sequence.
4. Prepare ingredients for blending. Cut all solid ingredients, i.e. fruits, vegetables,
or cheeses or meats into uniform pieces, ½ to 1-inch cubes. Place lid on
blender. NOTE: Always place one hand on mixing jar or lid to steady blender
while operating.
5. Blend foods according to the recipe or until the desired results are achieved.
NOTE: If scraping or stirring of contents is required, turn blender to the “off”
position and unplug from electrical outlet. Do not use metal utensils to stir as
scratching of mixing jar may occur.

A small amount of odor may occur during operation due to the release of
manufacturing oils – this is normal.

to desired consistency.
