7. Set the ON/OFF switch to ON.

8. When blending hard to blend mixtures such as dips and spreads, or mixtures using frozen

ingredients, use the accelerator tool (see page 11) to help ingredients flow into the blades.

Continuously moving the tool around in a circular motion during blending will help eliminate

air pockets and encourage an even blend.

9. After the blender has been stopped, wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before

removing the lid or container from the motor base.

10.

To use the PULSE switch:

Turn the dial to the desired variable speed. With the container on

the motor base, depress the pulse switch. Release the switch to stop the motor. Repeat multiple

times until mixture is blended to desired consistency.

11. Unplug the machine when not in use.

Maintenance Tips:

•

Never bang the container against a surface to loosen the ingredients.

Remove the

container from the base and use a rubber spatula to remove thick mixtures from the

bottom of your container.

•

Never shake or rattle a container while in use.

• Never remove the container before the machine has come to a complete stop.

• Never start the motor before the container is in place.

IMPORTANT NOTES!

• The automatic overload protection shuts the motor off when the resettable circuit breaker pops

out. It does so to protect the motor from overheating. If the motor shuts off, it could be due to:

– Recipe being too thick

– Recipe having too many ingredients in it

– Recipe was being processed too long at too low a speed

• The machine may stop working if it is overloaded on low speed. Reset the machine by turning

power off for 30 seconds.

THERMAL PROTECTOR: The thermal protector may shut the motor off to protect it from

overheating. To restart, wait for motor to cool down with the power off (up to 45 minutes). Cooling

may be quickened by placing the motor base in a cool spot. (Unplug first.) To speed up the process,

try circulating the air with a vacuum or fan aimed at the bottom of the base. When the thermal

protector shuts the motor off, review your processing techniques and your instructions. Your recipes

may be too thick or have too much material in them. If the motor seems to be overheating but the

thermal overload protector has not turned the machine off, stop the machine and remove the

container from the base. Turn the machine ON and let the machine run for 20 seconds. Repeat this

step 3 times for a total of 1 minute. Be careful never to touch any moving parts while in use.
