HELPFUL REMINDERS
• Once the cover is in position, additional ingredients can be added during
blending by simply lifting the measured pour lid, adding ingredients, and
replacing the measured pour lid.
• Cover should always be in place while the unit is on. Make sure the cover
is properly aligned.
• Warning: Do not place blender jar onto base while motor is running.
• Do not twist locking ring from blender jar when removing blender jar from
base. Simply lift blender jar from motor base.
• Add liquid ingredients first, then follow with solid ingredients. This will
provide more consistent blending and prevent unnecessary stress on
the motor.
• Do not place ice, frozen foods or very cold liquids into a blender jar that
has come directly from a hot dishwasher.
• Boiling liquids should cool for 5 minutes before being placed in
blender jar.
• Follow Cleaning and Maintenance instructions on page 7 prior to your
first use.
