3.1 BLENDER JAR ASSEMBLY (see Figure 1)
• The lid is made from flexible rubber to seal liquids within the jar during blending.
• The clear vented cap insert allows heated air to escape and enables ingredients
to be easily added.
• The jar is made from BPA-free Tritan™ copolyester to provide maximum strength
and clear visibility.
• The blade assembly is stainless steel with a patented design to provide fast,
consistent blending.
NOTE: Filling the blender jar beyond the marked capacity is not recommended.
3.2 BLENDER MOTOR BASE (see Figure 2)
• The motor base cover encloses the motor base housing when it’s not
installed in a counter-top.
• The drive socket is where the jar couples with the motor to turn the
blade assembly.
• The touch pad consists of nine buttons that operate pre-programmed
settings for selective blender control, including a pulse button and two
speed-control buttons.
• The LCD information center indicates status as well as overload or over-
temperature conditions.
• The motor base housing contains the power unit in a surgical stainless steel
casing. Never remove the housing. This will void the warranty.
• The power switch is located on the front of the motor base, at the bottom.
• The power cord is located at the bottom on the back of the motor base.
• The power unit is located within the blender motor and contains the machinery
that runs the blender.
