IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Read all instructions carefully before using your Total Blender™
1.1 SAFETY CERTIFICATION
The Total Blender is certified by ETL (Report No. 3018204-4,
3018204-2 & 3018204-3) to comply with UL standard 982 4th ed.
11-29-2001, and to CSA standard C22.2 No. 195-m 1987, Nov. 1990,
R 1994
1.2 TOTAL BLENDER CERTIFICATION
The Total Blender and its accessories are certified by NSF Interna-
tional (NSF) under Blendtec in the NSF Official Listing.
1.3 AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS
• Keep fingers, hands, hair and clothing away from all moving parts.
• Keep all utensils away from the drive socket and blender jar blades during
operation. Metal utensils may damage blades.
• NEVER put hands into the blender jar or add substances by hand when the
blender jar is on the motor base.
• NEVER touch the blade with your fingers whether it is on or off the motor base.
• NEVER place jar into drive socket if blender motor is operating.
• DO NOT rock the blender jar during operation.
These precautions will prevent personal injury and/or damage to the blender.
1.4 NEVER OPERATE THE BLENDER IF IT APPEARS DAMAGED
If the blender malfunctions call your service agent first. If it is dropped or damaged in
any way, return the blender to a Blendtec service agent immediately for examination,
repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or possible replacement.
1.5 NEVER OPERATE BLENDER IN LIQUID
To protect against the risk of electrical shock do not put the motor base in water or
other liquid. Do not use the blender outdoors where it is subject to precipitation.
1.6 NEVER PUT NON-FOOD ITEMS INTO JAR
Metal utensils, rocks, and glass are dangerous if placed in jar. Damage caused by
such foreign objects will void the warranty. Keep hands and utensils out of jar while
blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender.
Utensils may only be used when the blender is not running.
1.7 NEVER OPERATE THE BLENDER WITHOUT THE LID IN PLACE

The use of any unauthorized attachments may cause fire, electric shock, and/or injury
and will void the warranty.
1.9 CONTAINER MUST BE PROPERLY IN PLACE WHILE APPLIANCE IS
OPERATING
1.10 BLADES ARE SHARP! HANDLE CAREFULLY!
1.11 WHEN BLENDING HOT LIQUIDS, THE VENTED LID WILL ALLOW PRES-
SURE RELIEF. BE CAREFUL NOT TO COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY STEAM

1.12 POWER CORD PRECAUTIONS
• NEVER operate with a damaged cord or plug. (If the supply cord is damaged it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or authorized service agent to avoid a

• NEVER use an extension cord with the unit.
• Unplug the blender motor when not in use, before changing blender locations, or
cleaning.
1.13 NEVER ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE POWER UNIT

(Refer to Figures 1 and 2)
3.1 BLENDER MOTOR
• Touch Pad: Consists of nine buttons that contain pre-programmed settings for
selective blender control, a pulse button, and two speed control buttons.
• Blender Drive Socket: This is where the jar couples with the motor to turn the blade
assembly.
• LCD Information Center: Indicates status of unit as well as overload or over-tem-
perature conditions.
• Power Unit: This unit is located with the blender motor and contains the machinery
that runs the blender.
3.2 BLENDER JAR ASSEMBLY
The blender jar assembly consists of the blender jar, blade assembly, and lid.
• Jar: Made from a tough durable material to provide maximum efficiency and clear
visibility of blender performance.
• Lid: Flexible rubber lid seals liquids within the jar during blending.
• Blade Assembly: Stainless steel designed to provide fast, consistent blending.
• Power Switch: Located on the back lower-right corner of the motor base cover.

polycarbonate.
NOTE: Filling the blender jar beyond the marked capacity is not recommended.
SECTION 4 - INSTALLATION
1. Place blender on a flat, clean, and dry surface.
2. Make sure a plug outlet is available within four feet of the blender motor.
3. Ensure the unit is turned off before plugging it into a separate 120-volt recep-
tacle.

We recommend that surge protection be placed between the receptacle and the
blender motor.

3. Rinse with clear water until all soap is rinsed from jar and lid.
4. Clean the blender base by simply wiping the base and touchpad with a damp
cloth and water.
5.2 LONG-TERM SANITATION
1. For long-term sanitation, occasionally fill the blender jar half way with hot water.
2. Add one teaspoon of liquid chlorine bleach.
3. Stir for 10 seconds to mix water and bleach. Let mixture stand in blender jar for
five minutes.
4. Empty water/bleach mixture and rinse the jar thoroughly to ensure that there is
no bleach mixture left in the jar. Turn jar up side down on dish rack until dry.
5.3 CLEANING TIPS AND CAUTIONS
• Do not use abrasives or stiff brushes to clean the blender base or jar as this will
dull or scratch the surface. Cosmetic damage is not covered by warranty.
• NEVER submerge the blender motor in water. Avoid submerging blender jars for
more than 5 minutes. Water penetration through the lower jar seals will reduce
the life of the jar. After cleaning, we recommend the blender jar be stored up-
right.
• BLENDER JAR IS DISHWASHER SAFE–TOP RACK ONLY! Extreme temperatures
damage the lower seal to the jar.
SECTION 6 OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
6.1 MAIN POINTS OF OPERATION
1. Turn on the main power switch located on the back of the blender motor base in the
lower right corner.
2. Place the blender jar on the base, making sure the jar is secure. Attach the blender
lid.
3. Press the desired touch pad button once. You may press any button on the lower
row to stop the cycle.
4. When cycle is complete, remove the blender jar and serve.
6.2 AUTOMATIC CYCLE OPERATION
The Blendtec Total Blender has automatic blending cycles for ice cream, frozen
yogurt, ice crushing, milkshakes, soups, syrups, fondues, sauces, dips, dressings, bat-
ters, whole juice, and smoothies. These cycles have variable speed settings that will
change during the course of the cycle. This allows the blender to draw the contents
into the blending vortex, which creates the desired texture. The blender will run its
pre-programmed cycle and automatically shut off. If at any point you want to stop the
blender before it has completed its cycle press any lower row button.

6.3 BLEND CYCLES
The 6 pre-programmed blend cycles on your Total Blender have been carefully
designed to produce optimum results for a range of blending tasks. The recipe book
included with your machine will refer to a specific button to use, depending on what is
being made. Feel free to experiment and try different cycles with your own recipes.
The 6 following charts correspond to the 6 buttons above on the touch pad. The
Charts will show the speeds and duration of time which make up each pre-pro-
grammed blend cycle. This may be helpful to you in understanding what the Total
Blender is doing when a specific cycle button is pushed.
