11 10 Helpful Hints • Add ingredients to Blender Container a little at a time to ensure proper blending and prevent overflow. Never fill Blender Container with more than 52 ounces of ingredients (6 1/2 cups); the action of the Blade will cause ingredients to rise in the Container. Make large recipes in several batches. • Place liquid ingredients into the Blender first, unless recipe instructs otherwise. The liquid will speed processing. • Always secure the Lid on the Blender Container before operat- ing. Firmly press the spout end of the Lid into position on the Blender Container then press the opposite end of the Lid into place. When removing the Lid, be sure to hold the Blender Container by the Handle before lifting the Lid to avoid tipping the Container. • Do not remove Blender Container from the Motor Housing while the motor is running. • Thick mixtures require special attention during processing. Turn Blender off if blending stops or ingredients stick to sides of the Container. Remove the Lid and, with a rubber spatula, push the mixture toward the blades. Replace the Lid and continue pro- cessing. • Extra ingredients may be added while blending by removing the Measuring Cap on top of Lid. Add solids and ice a little at a time through the hole in the Container Lid. Always cut solid foods, such as vegetables and cheese, into small chunks before placing in the Blender Container. • To reduce wear on the Blade Assembly, place solid food por- tions in Blender 1/2 cup at a time. Raw fruits and vegetables as well as cooked meats should be cut into 1 inch pieces before processing. • Remove thick mixtures easily through bottom of the Blender Container after removing the Collar and Blade Assembly. • Do not store food in Blender. • To prevent excessive heat expansion, always remove Measuring Cap from Lid when processing hot ingredients. Add hot foods slowly (to a maximum of 2 cups). User Maintenance Instructions This Blender requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassem- bly must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician. CAUTION: Never immerse the Motor Housing, plug or cord in water or any other liquid. 1. Always unplug the unit before cleaning. 2. Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing to make cleanup easier. CAUTION: Use extreme care when handling the Blade Assembly. Do not touch the Blades with your fingers. The Blades are very sharp and can cause injury if touched. 3. Wash the Blender Container, Lid, Measuring Cap and Blade Assembly in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Never use rough scouring pads or abrasive cleansers on any plastic or metal parts as the surface may be damaged. Only the Blender Container may be washed in the dishwasher. 4. If necessary, wipe exterior surfaces with a moist cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly. 5. Do not fill the Blender Container with boiling water or place any of the parts in boiling water. 6. Do not allow the Blade Assembly to soak in water for long periods of time. 7. Quick clean-ups of the interior of the Blender Container can be made by using the Pulse function. Plug the Blender into an electri- cal outlet then pour some warm water and a very small amount of detergent into the Blender Container. Place the Lid with Measuring Cap on the Blender Container then press the Pulse button several times. The unit will clean itself without you having to handle the sharp Blades. Unplug the Blender, rinse and dry thoroughly, being careful as the Blades are sharp. 8. Properly reassemble all parts before storing. STORAGE CAUTION: Always assemble clean Blender parts correctly before storing on the Motor Housing. Severe injury can result if Blender is accidentally turned ON when not properly assem- bled. Unplug and clean unit. Store in original box or in a clean, dry place. Never store Blender while it is hot or plugged in. Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance. Never place any stress on cord, especial- ly where the cord enters the unit, as this could cause the cord to fray and break.
