3 4 Safety Guidelines Safety Guidelines 5 IMPORTANT SAFETY GUIDELINES When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, especially the following: Please Read and Save this Instruction Manual Read all instructions carefully. Remove all packaging and labels from appliance prior to use. To protect against risk of electrical shock do not put cord, plugs, or appliance in or near water or other liquid. Any maintenance other than cleaning, please contact StoreBound directly at: from 7AM - 7PM PST Monday Friday, or by at support@ storebound.com. Keep appliance away from children when in use. Unplug from outlet when not in use, during assembly, during disassembly, and before cleaning. Avoid contact with moving parts. Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord, damaged plug, after the appliance malfunctions, is dropped, or damaged in any manner. Use only attachments recommended or sold by the manufacturer. Others may result in fire, electric shock, or injury. Do not use outdoors. Do not leave unattended when on. Do not let cord hang over edge of table, hang over edge of counter, or touch hot surfaces. Always make sure the pitcher is locked securely in place before motor is engaged. Do not remove pitcher before blender has finished blending. Make sure dial is in the o position after each use. Make sure the motor stops completely before disassembling. Do not put your fingers or other objects into the blender while it is in operation. If food becomes lodged in the blades, turn off and unplug before trying to remove. Do not use the appliance if any of the parts are damaged. Do not use without lid in place. Keep hands and utensils away from moving blades while appliance is engaged to reduce the risk of severe injury or damage to the blender. Blades in the blender are sharp. Handle carefully. Wash using brush or gloves. Do not touch small cutting blades in the base of the pitcher. Do not place on or near a hot gas range, hot electric burner, or in a heated oven. When cleaning do not submerse motor (with electrical parts) in any liquid; instead use a soft, wet cloth to wipe down. Do not run the blender when the pitcher is empty. When blending thick or dry food for a prolonged period of time, the temperature monitoring system may shut down the motor to prevent overheating. This may occur when the Blender is overloaded. Unplug the Blender and place the motor base in a well ventilated area allowing it to cool down for 45 minutes. Try removing some of the food before beginning to blend again. Make sure the Lid is closed tightly during blending to prevent liquid from splashing out. Keep hands and utensils out of the Pitcher while the motor is running to prevent injuries or damages. When making hot food, it is highly recommended to start at a low setting and gradually increase the speed setting or simply use the PULSE mode. When making sauces, stuffing, nuts, etc., put in between 2-3 cups of ingredients at a time. Keep the blending time below 2 minutes to prevent the motor from overloading or overheating. If the motor stops abruptly, allow the motor temperature to decrease before beginning to blend again. Always place soft or liquid food before hard food or ice cubes. Wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before picking up the Pitcher. If not done accordingly, the Drive Gear may become damaged. If you smell a burnt scent coming from the blender, shut it down immediately. This can be caused by abrasion of the Rubber Base. Make sure the Rubber Base is properly assembled. When blending thick and sticky food, start blending at a low setting. If the blade is jammed, use the Tamper to stir the food in the pitcher allowing air to come out. Close the lid tightly and begin to blend again. When blending thick and sticky food using high speed, please start the operation at low speed. If the turning is still idle, disconnect the power and stir the blender jar using a rubber stirrer to drive out the air capsule trapped in the food. Then close the lid and switch on to proceed the operation. Do not operate for more than 10 minutes at a time.
