PARTS AND FEATURES

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 3.5 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 blender jar is not the same as the horsepower of the motor itself. This motor delivers 2.45 peak HP in the blender jar, enabling your Blender to deliver robust power for all your recipes.

USING THE DEVICE

PRODUCT FUNCTION GUIDE

The Blender has a preset recipe program: Coulis Cycle. It also features Variable Speeds and Pulse functions that allow you to customize your blending for any recipe you make.

SETTING	DESCRIPTION	BLENDING TIME (IN MIN:SEC)
	Blends fluid gels into a smooth mixture. A series of pulses and speeds run before the unit gradually ramps up to full power before it finishes with a slow speed to allow air to escape from the fluid. For best results, cut or crumble gel into 1/2'' cubes before blending. Limit gel to 500-1000 grams. Do not exceed 1000 grams in the jar. You may need to use the tamper for thicker fluid gels.	< 3 minutes
VARIABLE SPEEDS	When the Start/Stop switch is pressed, the Blender will run continuously until the Start/Stop switch is pressed again, or after 6 minutes have elapse.	N/A
:30	When the: 30 time is selected, the Blender will gradually ramp up to full power and run for 30 seconds total.	:30
:45	When the: 45 time is selected, the Blender will gradually ramp up to full power and run for 45 seconds total.	:45
:60	When the: 60 time is selected, the Blender will gradually ramp up to full power and run for 60 seconds total.	:60
Pulse H/L	Alternatively, use Pulse during manual operation to manually operate the Blender at either High or Low speeds.	N/A

To clean the Blender: Quick pulses of power and high speeds work to clean the blender jar with just 2 cups of water and a drop of dish soap.

PREPARING THE UNIT FOR USE

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into an earthed outlet.
Do not remove earth 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.

Before first use
Before using your Blender for the first time, wipe the blender base with a warm damp cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. Wash the blender jar, lid, and ingredient cup in warm, sudsy water (see the "Care and cleaning" section). Rinse parts and wipe dry.

1. Before using the Blender, be sure the countertop beneath the Blender and surrounding areas are dry and clean. Be sure the power switch on the back of the blender base is in the Off (O) position and the cord is also fully plugged into the back of the Blender. Then, plug the Blender into an earthed.
   
2. The main power switch is on the back of the blender base. Flip the POWER switch to the On (I) position. The status indicator light above the Start toggle button will begin to flash, indicating that the Blender is in Standby mode. The Blender is now ready to operate.
   

NOTE: The cord cleat is not to be used as a handle; the cord cleat is designed to wrap the power cord around it for storage only.

ASSEMBLING AND RUNNING THE UNIT

1. Put the items to blend into the blender jar. Add liquids first, then soft foods, then leafy greens, and ice or frozen items last.
   NOTE: To avoid spills, do not fill blender jar past the top-most measurement mark, especially when blending liquids.
   
2. Make sure that the lid is fully secured on the blender jar; next, place the blender jar on the base, making sure that it is fully aligned on the jar pad.
   
3. Turn the control dial to your desired speed, time, or program. See the "Blender function guide" for more information.
   
4. Flip the Start/Stop toggle switch up or down to begin operation of the Blender. The status indicator light will now be solid.
   NOTE: If you select a preprogrammed cycle, you will need to flip the Start/Stop toggle to begin operation.
   
5. Use the Flex Edge tamper accessory as needed for optimal blending performance. Remove the ingredientmeasuring cap only, and leave the lid in place. Stir or press contents down towards the blade. When you are finished, replace the ingredientmeasuring cap in the blender jar lid before resuming blending.
   
6. If desired, use the Pulse function for a momentary boost of speed while blending on the variable speed settings.
   Press and hold the Pulse toggle switch up for a faster pulse, or down for a slower pulse.
   NOTE: The Pulse function may also be used on its own as a separate blending function while the Blender is in standby mode.
   
7. After blending, flip the Start/Stop toggle switch up or down. Allow the Blender to come to a complete stop before removing the lid and pouring your blended ingredients.
   
8. If the Blender remains in standby mode for 28 minutes with no activity, the Blender will enter sleep mode. To get out of sleep mode, press the Start/Stop switch once to bring into standby mode. Then, press Start/Stop once more to start the Blender.
   

CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE DEVICE AND ACCESSORIES

Clean the Blender thoroughly after every use.
NOTE: To avoid damaging the Blender, do not immerse the blender base or cord in water. To avoid scratching the Blender, do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

1. To clean the blender base and cord: Unplug the Blender before cleaning. Wipe the base and the cord with a warm, damp cloth; wipe clean with a damp cloth, and dry with a soft cloth.
   
2. Make sure to clean the blender jar, lid, and ingredient cap after each use. Remove any remaining contents from the blender jar using a spatula and pre-rinse it with hot water. Fill jar with 700 mL of hot water and add 3-4 drops of liquid dish detergent. Place the lid on the blender jar, and make sure the blender jar is fully in place on the blender base.
   
3. Rotate the control dial to 30 seconds. Flip the Start/Stop toggle switch up or down. When the timer finishes, pour out the soapy water, and rinse the blender jar with warm water.
   
4. The blender jar, lid, Flex Edge tamper, and ingredient-measuring cap are dishwasher-safe; the Flex Edge tamper, lid, and ingredient-measuring cap should be placed in the top rack of the dishwasher. If preferred, all parts may also be washed by hand with a damp cloth and warm soapy water, and then rinsed with warm water and dried with a soft cloth.
   

SANITIZING THE DEVICE

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.
3. Run the Blender on the High Speed setting for 35 seconds. Flip the Start/Stop toggle switch up or down to start the Blender.
4. Turn off the Blender and let the sanitizing mix sit in the blender jar for an additional 2 minutes.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into an earthed outlet.
Do not remove earth 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.

1. When the Blender is plugged in and the main power On/Off (I/O) toggle switch is on (I), the Blender will go to Standby mode (flashing white indicator light). However, after 28 minutes of no activity the Blender will go into Sleep mode and the indicator light will turn off.
   • To wake up the Blender simply flip the Start/Stop toggle switch up or down. This will put the Blender back into Standby mode.
2. If the status indicator light flashes an orange color, the Blender is in error mode. This can be caused by: using a spatula or any other utensil that could obstruct the blade to freely spin in the blender jar, or having an ice cube or hard food in a location that locks up the blade.
   • Correct the problem by turning off the Blender using the dedicated On/ Off toggle switch in the back, or by unplugging the Blender. Remove the blender jar from the base, and clear the items. Place the Blender back on the base, and then turn the Blender back on to continue regular use.
3. If the Blender stops while blending:
   • After 6 minutes of run time, the Blender will automatically shut off and go into Sleep mode, and the LED light will turn off. You can wake the Blender back up using the toggle switches (Start/Stop or Pulse High/ Pulse Low). If the Blender stops in less than 6 minutes, it is possible there is an internal error with the Blender. Contact an authorized service center for assistance.
4. If the ingredients of a recipe aren't blending:
   • There may be times when an air pocket is created around the blade causing the ingredients to miss the blending blade. Stop the Blender, remove the blender jar from the base, and use a spatula to rearrange ingredients in the blender jar. For certain recipes, try adding more liquid.
5. If you experience an overflow from the blender jar:
   • Disconnect the Blender from the power source. 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. To avoid damage to the graphics when cleaning, don't apply too much force or use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

If the problem cannot be corrected: See the "Warranty and service" section. Do not return the Blender to the retailer; retailers do not provide service.
