PRODUCT SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER?” or “WARNING.” These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

MOTOR HORSEPOWER

Motor horsepower for the blender motor was measured using a dynamometer, a machine that laboratories routinely use to measure the mechanical power of motors. Our 3.0 peak horsepower (HP) motor reference reflects the horsepower output of the motor itself and not the Blender’s horsepower output in the blender jar. As with any blender, the power output in the jar is not the same as the horsepower of the motor itself. This motor delivers 2.40 peak HP in the jar, enabling your Blender to deliver robust power for all your recipes.

GET STARTED

First, clean all parts and accessories (see “Care and Cleaning” section). Be sure the countertop beneath the Blender and surrounding areas are dry and clean.

Using the Tamper: Remove the ingredient measuring cap only. Stir or press contents down towards the blade. When finished, replace the ingredient-measuring cap before resuming blending.
The Pulse function may also be used on its own as a separate blending function while the Blender is in Standby mode.

NOTE: Allow the Blender to come to a complete stop before removing the lid and pouring your blended ingredients.
After blending, flip the START/STOP toggle switch up or down to stop. Unplug the Blender before removing the blender jar.

CARE AND CLEANING

SANITIZING THE BLENDER

  1. Remove any remaining contents from the blender jar.
  2. Prepare a 200 ppm sodium hypochlorite solution* using 1.75 L of hot water in the blender jar. Place the lid on the blender jar, and make sure the blender jar is fully in place on the blender base.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE



Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Problem Solution
Status indicator light is off while unit is plugged in and On/Off switch is in On position: After 10 minutes of no activity, the blender will go into Sleep mode. Flip START/STOP toggle switch up or down to bring the blender back into Standby mode.
Status indicator light is flashing orange color: Indicates error mode. This can be caused by: using a spatula or any other utensil that could obstruct the blade to freely spin, or having an ice cube or hard food in a location that locks up the blade.
Unplug the blender and remove the jar from the base, and clear the items. Place the jar back on the base, and then turn on the blender to continue regular use.
Blender stops after continuously running for 6 minutes: This is normal operation for variable speed functions. Refer to “Blender function guide” for details.
Blender stops while blending: If blender stops prior to the completion of the selected function, contact an authorized service center for assistance.
If the ingredients of a recipe aren’t blending: An air pocket can be created around the blade causing the ingredients to miss the blade. Use the tamper to push ingredients down into the blade. Refer to “Using the commercial blender” section. For certain recipes, adding more liquid may also assist in incorporating the ingredients.
Blender jar overflows: Unplug and remove the jar pad from the housing to make sure the base is fully dry. The control dial can be detached by pulling it off with force. Wipe dry, and then replace it back.
Troubleshooting does not solve the problem: See the “Warranty and service” section. Contact an Authorized Service Center for assistance.
Do not return the Blender to the retailer — retailers do not provide service.
