Blender Safety Systems

• Electrical - Resettable fuse button on the bottom of the base protects against excess motor load causing shorts and overheating potentially caused by a stuck blade.
• Mechanical - The carafe includes a mechanical safety switch so the motor cannot spin without the carafe securely seated on top of the motor.
• Operational - The blender will not operate unless all the controls start in the safe/off position.

Operating the Blender Safely

• Power: Plug the blender motor base into an appropriate 120v outlet
• Carafe: Ensure the carafe is placed on the motor base and is lying flat against the bottom rubber.  Ensure the ingredients inside the carafe are not stuck where the blade can't reach or jamming the blades in place.  Ensure the lid is secured flush to the carafe top prior to continuing to prevent splatter when the blender operates.
• Controls: 
  • Ensure the left side soup/pulse switch is in the middle position
  • Ensure the rotating timer control is rotated all the way to the left "Off" position
  • Ensure the right side on/off switch is in the "Off" position.
• Turning the Blender On:
  • Once all the controls are set to the safe/off positions listed in the "Controls" section above, flip the right side on/off switch upward to "On".  If successful, you will hear an audible beep confirming the blender is on and ready to operate.  The blender will not spin in this state, it is simply on and ready to operate.
  • Once on, you may use the left side soup/pulse switch to pulse the blender motor OR use the center rotating selector to pick a rotational speed.  This step will cause the blender motor to spin, so ensure the carafe lid is on tight prior to running the blender.
  • Stopping the 
• Stopping the Blender:
  • If using the left side soup/pulse switch for temporary blending, simply let go of the control to stop the blender from spinning.
  • If using the center rotating selector for ongoing blending, simply rotate the selector counterclockwise (top of the selector should spin towards the left) to the "Off" position to stop the blender.
  • When using either the left or center motor controls, you can immediately turn the blender off by flipping the right side on/off switch downward to the "Off" position.
