IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions

and warnings.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be

followed including the following:

•Read all instructions, including these important safeguards and the care and use

instructions in this manual.

•To protect against electrical shock, do not put the cord, plug or the motor

assembly in water or other liquid.

•Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children.

•Unplug the appliance from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off

parts and before cleaning.

•Avoid contact with moving parts.

•Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance

malfunctions or if the appliance is dropped or damaged in any manner. If you

ASSEMBLING YOUR BLENDER

Before assembling your blender, wash all parts, except for the motor base in

warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry. Unscrew and disassemble the valve

for cleaning (see Cleaning Your Appliance section). To prolong the life of your

appliance, do not wash parts in the dishwasher.

1. Position the rubber gasket down onto the circular flat surface in the blender or

smoothie blade base.

2. Screw the blade base onto the bottom of the blending jar by twisting the blade

base clockwise until tightened. Make sure that the blade base is tightly fastened

to the blending jar and that the rubber gasket is properly compressed between

the blending jar and the blade base.

3. Press the lid onto the top of the blending jar. Press the clear lid cap in the

center of the lid or place the stir stick through the center of the lid if blending

liquids or frozen drinks.

4. Place the blending jar onto the motor base so that the bottom of the blade base

is sitting flat on the motor base.

5. Plug in the cord. Your blender is now ready to use.

USING YOUR BLENDER

CONTROL BUTTONS:

PULSE - gives short bursts of power at high speed. Use “PULSE” to begin the

mixing of ice and other hard ingredients.

HIGH – runs the appliance at high speed. Use this speed for the final stages of

mixing. Do not use this speed for dispensing.

MED – runs the appliance at medium speed. Use this speed for the majority of

blending tasks.

LOW - runs the appliance at low speed. Use this speed for the initial 30 seconds of

mixing as well as for dispensing.

OFF - turns the appliance off.

BLENDER OPERATION

1. Assemble the blender blade base onto the blending jar.

2. Add ingredients to the blending jar and replace the lid. You may add more

ingredients through the hole in the center of the lid. Cover the hole with the

clear lid cap or stir stick during operation. Note: Add liquid ingredients first then

add frozen or solid ingredients. This will prevent excessive wear and stress on

the motor.

3. To start blending, choose a speed for blending the ingredients on the dial switch

and then press the “ON” button.

4. To stop blending press the “OFF” button.

5. The “PULSE” button allows you to create short bursts of power. To use the

“PULSE” function, repeatedly press and release the “PULSE” button. The

“PULSE” function should be used in the initial stage of blending ice and frozen

ingredients for smoothies and other frozen drinks. The “PULSE” function should

also be used to break apart larger pieces of food or to control the texture of food

when chunkier results are desired.

SMOOTHIE MAKER OPERATION

To make your favorite frozen drinks, follow the steps below.

1. Assemble the smoothie blade base, with dispensing valve, onto the blending jar.

2. ADD LIQUIDS – Add any combination of liquid ingredients up to the LIQUIDS

mark under SERVES 2 or SERVES 4 located on the blending jar. Liquids

include any soft ingredients such as fruit, milk, fruit juice, herbal supplements, or

yogurt in any combination you think would be tasty.

We are, of course, partial to the Back to Basics®smoothie mixes, which quickly

and easily make three delicious 8-ounce smoothies.

3. ADD ICE – Add ice or frozen ingredients until the total level reaches the

FROZEN INGREDIENTS line on the side of the blending jar. Frozen ingredients

include ice, frozen fruit, frozen yogurt, ice cream, etc.

4. SMOOTH IT – With the lid on and the stir stick (use as directed

below) set in the hole on the lid, pulse the mixture 3 to 5 times

by pressing the “PULSE” button. Move the switch to “LOW”

and press the “ON” button for about 30 seconds. Move the

switch to the “HIGH” position and wait until the ingredients are

completely mixed.

STIR STICK OPERATION – When in use and while the

machine is running, stir or rotate the Stir Stick in a counter-

clockwise direction so that the Stir Stick scrapes or contacts

the sides of the blending jar. This stirring operation will aid in

mixing the contents of the blending jar by forcing the

ingredients into the mixing blades.

5. SERVE IT – To serve the smoothie, turn the appliance “ON”, move the dial to

“LOW”, place a cup under the valve and press down on the valve lever. Stir the

contents in the blending jar with the stir stick while dispensing thick smoothies.

As the smoothie level reaches the bottom of the blending jar, a thick mix may

stop dispensing. Add a few tablespoons of liquid to increase flow. When the

blending jar is empty, turn the machine “OFF” and enjoy. You can continue

making smoothies one after another, but be sure to give the smoothie maker a

3-minute break after 90 seconds of continuous use.

•To make a thicker smoothie, add more frozen ingredients.

•To make a thinner smoothie, add more liquid ingredients.

USING YOUR FOOD PROCESSOR (if included)

Food Pusher/Measuring

Cup

Feed Tube

Food Processor Lid

Chopping Blade

Mixing Container

Gear Base

Motor Base

To use your Food Processor Attachment, the mixing container must be assembled

properly and the blade and lid must be locked into place. Begin assembling by

following the simple steps below.

1. Hold the gear base in one hand and the mixing container in the other hand.

Twist the mixing container clockwise onto the gear base.

2. Place the gear base with the attached mixing container onto the motor base.

3. Place the chopping blade over the shaft in the mixing container. The chopping

blade should slide easily to the bottom of the mixing container. The lower blade

will almost touch the bottom.

4. Place the food to be processed into the mixing container. To attach the lid onto

the mixing container, turn the lid clockwise until it fits into position. The lid lock

must click into the locked position prior to use. Note: The chopping blade will

not turn until the gear base, mixing container, and lid are locked into place. If

you have trouble fitting the lid onto the mixing container, turn the chopping blade

slightly and replace the lid.

5. Plug the appliance into an electrical outlet. Push the “ON” button to start

chopping or pureeing. While the food processor can be used at “LOW”, “MED”

or “HIGH” speeds, the “MED” speed is recommended for all food processing

jobs. It is recommended that one hand be placed on the food processor lid

while in use to provide more stability. CAUTION: Always use the food pusher

to guide food through the feed tube. Never use your fingers or other utensils

because damage to the appliance or injury could occur.

6. To stop chopping or pureeing, press the “OFF” button. When the blades have

stopped spinning unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet.

Note: For pulse-chopping, press and release the “PULSE” button until the

ingredients reach the desired consistency. The motor will run as long as you

hold the “PULSE” button down. The motor stops when you release the

“PULSE” button. For best results, allow enough time between pulses for the

food to fall back to the bottom of the mixing container.

7. Remove the lid by turning it counter-clockwise. Note: Never try to remove the

lid and the mixing container together as this can damage the appliance.

8. Be careful not to let the chopping blade fall out of the mixing container as you

empty it. To prevent this from happening, carefully remove the chopping blade

by lifting up on the plastic hub before attempting to pour out the processed food,

or hold the top of the plastic hub in place with your finger while pouring.

9. To remove the mixing container from the motor base, turn the handle of the

mixing container counter-clockwise and lift the mixing container straight up.

Note: Occasionally, a piece of food may become wedged between the

chopping blade and the mixing container. If this happens, unplug the appliance,

remove the lid, carefully lift the chopping blade out and remove the wedged

piece.

HELPFUL HINTS

•Cut food into approximately ¾” pieces. You will get a more even chop if

you start with pieces that are all the same size.

•The chopping blade should be in place before adding food into the mixing

container.

•You can put up to 1 cup of food in the mixing container at a time. Chop

food in batches if you want to process more.

•Watch the food closely. With the pulse/chopping technique you can get an

even chop without over-processing the food.

•For a coarse chop, pulse only a few times.

•For a finer chop or puree, press the “ON” button and let the food processor

run continuously at “MED” speed until the food is chopped to desired

consistency. Do not operate motor base for longer than 90 seconds at a

time.

•Unplug the appliance and use a plastic spatula to scrape down any pieces

that stick to the inside of the mixing container.

•You may add liquid or small pieces of food to the mixing container while the

appliance is operating by dropping them through the feed tube located on

the food processor lid.

•When chopping dry ingredients such as bread crumbs, nuts, spices, etc.,

make sure that the blending jar, or mixing container, and blade bases are

completely dry.

•The “PULSE” button should be operated in short bursts. As the “PULSE”

button is pressed and released, the blades should stop rotating between

pulses.

•Do not attempt to mix or knead heavy dough, mash potatoes, or beat egg

whites.

•Do not over-blend foods. Most ingredients should be properly blended or

chopped in seconds. Do not operate the motor base for longer than 90

seconds at a time.

•If the motor stalls, turn off and unplug the appliance. Remove a portion of

the ingredients before attempting to continue.

•Do not add boiling liquids to the blending jar or mixing container.

FOOD PREPARATION

Fruits and vegetables Peel and core if necessary. Remove

large, hard pits and seeds. Cut into ¾-

inch pieces and process up to 2 cups at

a time.

Meat, poultry and fish Meat should be cold but not frozen.

First, cut into ¾-inch pieces. Put up to ½

pound of meat in mixing container.

Pulse or run the motor continuously until

the desired consistency is reached.

Check texture every 2 or 3 seconds to

avoid over-processing.

Bread, crackers or cookies Break into 1-inch pieces and process

continuously until the desired texture is

reached.

Hard cheese If cheese is too hard to cut with a knife,

don’t try to chop it in the food processor

as it may damage the chopping blade.

(Do not attempt to chop parmesan

cheese in the food processor). Cut

cheese into ½-inch pieces. Pulse the

motor until the desired consistency is

reached. Do not attempt to process

more than 3 ounces of cheese at one

time.

Whipping cream Cream must be at refrigerator

temperature. Whip up to 1 cup at a time.

CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

1. Switch to “OFF” and unplug from electrical outlet.

2. Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth or sponge. To remove stubborn spots,

use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser.

3. Remove blade base and rubber gasket from the blending jar. Unscrew and

disassemble the dispensing valve. Carefully wash all parts except the motor

base in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. To prolong the life of your

appliance, do not wash parts in the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE DISPENSING VALVE

1. Remove the valve from the smoothie blade base by unscrewing the entire valve

counter-clockwise.

2. Remove the cap from the valve body by unscrewing it counter-clockwise.

3. Squeeze cap and stopper together and slide the lever off the stopper pin.

4. Remove the spring.

5. Remove the stopper and stopper pin by pulling the rubber rim of the stopper.

The stopper and pin are tightly fit and need not be separated.
