To Avoid Possible Burns, Never Start on Speeds Above 1 when Processing Hot Liquids in a Large Container.
Escaping steam, splashes or contents may burn. Always start on Variable 1, then slowly increase to 10.
DO NOT use your 20 ounce cup or 8 ounce cup to heat ingredients or to blend hot liquids. Heated ingredients and
liquids may create internal pressure which could cause the cup to burst and cause injury.
DO NOT continuously use your machine for more than 75 seconds when blending with a cup and blending adapter.
If a cup becomes warm to the touch or steams or vents, immediately stop blending ingredients and turn off or
unplug blender. Allow the cup and ingredients to cool to room temperature before removing the blending adapter.
Parts will become hot with extended use.
DO NOT touch the drive socket in the motor base or the drive spline in the adapter.
To avoid damage or personal injury, DO NOT use the cups (including the adapter or lids) in the microwave.
IMPORTANT! Always use the lid and the lid plug on the Large Container when the
machine is in operation. Never operate the blender without checking to make sure
that the lid and lid plug are securely locked in place. After blending, wait until the
blades completely stop before removing the lid or container/cup from the blender
base.

until the two tabs snap onto the lip of the container. Insert the lid plug. Turn the
lid plug clockwise to lock.
• Cups -
Locate the arrows on the blade base and cup or bowl. The arrows are
important alignment features to ensure safe use of the product. Put a seal on the
bottom thread of the blade base. The seal should fit snugly and evenly around the
thread. Thread the blade base onto the cup or bowl in a clockwise direction. Tighten
the blade base onto the bowl or cup until the arrows line up. DO NOT overtighten or
leaking can occur.

If this does not work, press the On/Off switch to stop the motor. Remove
the container from the blender base and use a rubber spatula to press the air
bubble away from the blades. Add liquid if necessary. Replace the lid and lid
plug. Return the container to the blender base and continue blending.
