Hints on Use
• Avoid contact with moving parts.
• Keep hands and utensils away from the cutting blade while chopping or blending food to reduce the risk of
severe personal injury or damage to the device. A scraper may be used, but only when the blender/food
chopper is not running.
• Never leave the unit unattended while it is in use.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• To prevent overheating, do not operate the unit continuously for more than 2 minutes. Allow it to rest for 5
minutes before using again. After three cycles, allow the unit to cool completely before using again
• To reduce the risk of injury and leakage, make sure the blade base is securely screwed onto the cup before
placing it on the Power Base and operating the appliance.
• Do not use Unit outdoors if exposed to inclement weather elements such as rain or other wet conditions. •
Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
• Check gasket to make sure it is completely seated in the cross blade or flat blade unit before each use.
• Cups, Power Base or any accessories in a microwave as this may result in damage to the appliance.
• Never blend carbonated beverages. Built-up pressure from released gases can cause container to burst,
resulting in possible injury.
• Do not put hot liquids in any of the blending vessels before blending. Start with cool or room temperature
ingredients. Heated ingredients can create internal pressure in a sealed blending vessel, which may erupt on
opening and cause thermal injury.
• Do not run the Unit when the cups are empty which can damage the unit.
• Friction from the rotating blade can cause ingredients to heat and generate internal pressure in the sealed
vessel. Do not continuously operate for more than one minute. If the vessel is warm to touch, allow to cool
before carefully opening pointed away from your body.
• Never permit any blended mixture to sit inside a sealed vessel without first releasing internal pressure. Do
not allow blended mixtures to sit for long periods in a sealed container. The sugars in the fruit and vegetables
can ferment, causing pressure to build up and expand in the vessel which can cause ingredients to burst and
spray out when moved or opened.
• Never use the Unit with the Extractor Blade to Blend without liquid as doing so may damage the blade.
• The unit is not intended to be used as an ice crusher, and not without liquids. To make a delicious cold
Smoothie, we suggest that you use frozen fruit and chilled liquids.
• Never remove cup/blade assembly from the power base until the motor comes to a complete stop. Re-
moving the cup/blade assembly while power base is still running may cause damage the blade coupling or
motor gear.
• To stop the motor, twist to release the cup if in lock mode and stop pressing cup/blade assembly down if in
pulse mode and wait for motor to power down completely.
Hints on Location
• Always operate the UNIT on level surface, leaving unobstructed space beneath and around the power base
to permit proper air circulation.
• Slots and openings on the bottom the product are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable motor opera-
tion and to prevent over-heating.
• To prevent fire hazard, power base openings should be free of dust or lint and never obstructed with flam-
mable materials such as newspapers, tablecloths, napkins, dishtowels, or placemats.
