Control Panels
Your blender may have 8 to 12 speeds.
They all operate similarly. For blenders
with 10 or more speeds, first select and
push a LO or HI power button then push
desired speed button. When using
PULSE or IceBreaker the blender will
operate only as long as button is
pushed. The remaining speed buttons
will run the blender until OFF is pushed.
Hints for General Use
NOTE: After extended blending, espe-
cially dry food, you may notice a black
film inside the top of the blender base.
This is a normal, FDA-approved, food-
grade lubricant used to ensure the
long-life of your cutting assembly.
• Processing hot foods or liquids in the
blender may cause hot liquid to spurt
out when the cover is removed.
Always remove the filler cap of the lid
before blending hot foods or liquids.
Keep hands and other exposed skin
away from the cover opening to
reduce risk of possible burns.
• To add foods when blender is
operating, remove filler cap from
container lid and add ingredients
through the opening.
• Do not store food or liquids in the
blender jar.
