How to Assemble IMPORTANT: Your blender jar and cutting assembly are subject to wear during normal use. Always inspect jar for nicks, chips, or cracks. Always inspect cutting assembly for broken, cracked, or loose blades. If jar or cutting assembly is damaged, do not use. Call our toll-free customer service number to obtain replacement parts. 1. Make sure blender is unplugged. Place blender base on clean, dry surface. 2. Fit gasket over blades as shown in illustration on page 4. The gasket must lie flat. Set jar on top of gasket and screw on cutting assembly. Make sure the cutting assembly is firmly screwed onto the jar. 3. Set jar into place on blender base, making sure it is securely seated. If not, gently rock the jar until seated. OPTIONAL: When dispenser is not needed, replace dispenser with spout cap. Remove dispenser by rotating counterclockwise (see "How to Clean" section). Insert spout cap on jar. Turn spout cap clockwise to tighten. 4. When spout cap is not in use, snap onto bottom of blender base for storage. How to Operate 1. Plug cord into outlet. 2. Put ingredients in jar. Place lid with filler cap on jar. 3. Process food or beverages. NOTE: When blending thin liquids, do not fill above the 32-ounce/ 4 cup/1000 ml mark on blender jar. 4. ALWAYS turn blender off and wait until blades have stopped rotating before removing jar. 5. To remove jar after blending is complete, lift the jar straight up. If it is not easily removed, rock gently and lift. Do not twist. To Use the Dispenser: To dispense thick liquids (such as milkshakes, smoothies, frozen drinks, etc.), turn the control knob to DISPENSE and pull Dispenser Lever up. Turn OFF after dispensing. NOTE: Blender MUST be ON to dispense thick liquids and frozen drinks. When dispensing thin liquids, it may not be necessary to turn the blender ON to dispense the liquid.
