PARTS AND FEATURES
2-Part Lid:
Always use the lid and the lid plug when the machine is in operation.
Snap the lid onto the container and leave in place for a few minutes. Once the lid
has been left on the container, it will be much easier to lock or remove.
Lid Plug:
Insert through the lid and secure by turning clockwise. Remove the lid
plug to use the tamper or add ingredients.
To Lock the Lid in Place:
On one side of the container, position the lid latch under
the container tab. Push down and apply pressure to the opposite side of the lid
until the lid latch fully seats under the opposite tab on the container. An audible
“click” will be heard.
Never operate the blender without checking to make sure
the lid is securely locked in place.
To Remove the Lid Plug:
Rotate the lid plug counterclockwise from the “locked”
to “unlocked” position and lift out.
To Remove the Lid:
1.
If working with hot liquids, rotate the lid plug counterclockwise from the
“locked” to the “unlocked” position and slowly lift out to vent steam from
the container.
2.
Above one of the container tabs, firmly press in on the lid and lift up
to release.
3.
If the lid won’t release, insert the handle of a spoon into the container spout
and lift up until the lid releases from the container.
Retainer Nut Loosening
In the event that the retainer nut at the bottom of your container loosens and no
longer securely holds the blade assembly in place,
do not continue to use the
container
