HOW TO USE
1 Place pitcher on motor base and insert
the blade assembly. (See HOW TO
ASSEMBLE.)
2 Add the ingredients to the pitcher. Make
sure your total of ingredients don’t
exceed the highest measured marking
line on the side of the pitcher.
IMPORTANT: Never add ingredients into
the pitcher before placing the blades in
first.
3 Place the lid onto the pitcher with the
locking handle in the upright position and
the pouring spout on the corner opposite
the pitcher handle. Align the arrows (
)
located on the lid and pitcher handle.
Ensure that the lid is completely seated
and press the lid down into the pitcher.
Press the locking handle down so that
the latches on the lid fit under the tabs
on the pitcher. (Fig. 5)
4 Plug the power cord into the electrical
outlet.
NOTE: As a safety feature, the motor
will not work if the pitcher and lid are
not installed correctly. When the pitcher
and lid are installed properly, the ready
light will be solid green, indicating that
the blender is ready for use.
5 Use the control panel according to your
blending requirements:
• Turn the knob to the “ON” position to
continually process the ingredients to a
smooth mixture.
• Turn the knob to the “PULSE” position for
controlled processing.
• Turn the knob to the “OFF” position once
you are finished processing.
NOTE: If you need to add additional
ingredients while the blender is
processing, open the pouring spout cap
and pour the ingredients in through the
opening.

BEFORE FIRST USE
1 Remove all packaging material and labels
from the appliance.
2 Wash the lid, pitcher and blade assembly
in warm, soapy water with a soft cloth.
Use caution when washing the blade
assembly as the blades are very sharp.
3 Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4 The pitcher, lid and blade assembly are
all dishwasher safe. It is recommended
that the lid and blade assembly go on the
top rack. Ensure that the blade assembly
is removed from the pitcher before
placing in the dishwasher.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE
CAUTION: Make sure that the motor base
is unplugged from the power source.
1 Place the motor base on a clean, dry,
level surface.
2 Lower the pitcher onto the motor base.
(Fig. 1)
3 Rotate the pitcher to the left as far as
it will go. As the pitcher rotates, it will
lower and the safety tabs on the bottom
of the pitcher will slide under the safety
tabs on the top of the motor base.
(Fig. 2)
4 The pitcher can be placed on the motor
base two ways; the handle can be on the
front right corner or the front left corner.
(Fig. 3a, Fig. 3b)
5 Holding the blade assembly by the shaft,
place it onto the gear shaft inside the
pitcher. (Fig. 4) Ensure that the blade
assembly fits around the gear shaft and
that the blade shaft is standing straight.
CAUTION: Blades are sharp! Use extreme
caution when handling the blades.
Always hold them by the shaft.
