in the correct position before you use the Blender.

27.The blender base is intended for use only with this blender jar. Do not substitute any other blender jar.

28.This Blender has been equipped with an automatic safety cut-out which cuts off the power supply in case of an overload. In this case, the pin at the bottom of the Blender will pop out. If you push the pin back into the appliance, it will start again.

SAVE THESE

INSTRUCTIONS

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

This Blender has a short cord to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if the rating is equal to or greater than the rating of the Blender. Use an extension cord rated 13 amperes or greater. Care must be taken to arrange extension cord so that it will not drape over countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Operating the Blender and another appliance at the same time from the same electrical circuit could cause an electrical overload condition, which would blow the fuse or trip the circuit breaker.

SPECIAL POLARIZED PLUG

INSTRUCTIONS

This Philips Blender has a polarized plug for an

added safety feature (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock:

??? Plug will fit into polarized outlet only one way.

??? If plug does not properly fit outlet at first, reverse it.

??? If plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

Before Use

Before using the Philips Blender for the first time, wash the stopper, lid, fruit filter and blender jar in lukewarm soapy water to remove any dust from packaging.

NOTE: Never clean accessories or parts in the dishwasher. The motor unit can be cleaned with a moist cloth. Do not use abrasives, scourers, alcohol, etc.

C You can store excess power cord by winding it around the base of the appliance.

Preparing the Blender for Use

The Blender has been equipped with a built-in safety lock that prevents it from functioning if the blender jar has been assembled incorrectly or has not been placed in base.

NOTE: Never turn the appliance ON or OFF (O) by removing or engaging the glass jar!

1Put the rubber sealing ring on the inner edge of the blade unit.

2Mount the blender jar onto the blade unit and turn it in the direction of the arrow until it is properly locked in place. Always make sure that you screw the jar onto the blade unit in such a way that the level indications on the blender jar align with notches on the blade unit.

3Mount the blender jar with blade unit onto the motor unit and turn in the direction of the arrow until it is properly locked in place.

4After putting the ingredients in the blender jar, place the lid onto the jar by pressing it down and turning it.

5Insert the stopper into the opening in the lid. When finished, make sure that the sieve of the lid is positioned in the spout to pour liquids.

6Always make sure that you remove the blender jar from motor unit with the blade unit still attached to the jar. Never touch the blades of the blade unit while the appliance is connected to the power source.

To disassemble the blender, follow steps in reverse order.

Using the Blender

1Place the Philips Blender on a flat, dry, clean surface. Rubber feet will grip typical countertops to prevent walking.

NOTE: Make sure that the appliance is plugged in and the blender jar has been properly locked in place before you switch the appliance on.

2Plug cord into 120V AC electrical outlet.

3Select the speed that is most suitable for the ingredients you want to process:

1light processing of mainly liquid ingredients, e.g. chocolate milk

2heavier processing of a combination of liquid and solid ingredients

3heavy processing of mainly solid ingredients

???If you are not sure which speed to select, you can always use the highest speed (speed 3).

4For quick processing needing only a few moments at a time, press the M button and then release it immediately.

You may also press the M button to get a momentary power burst while blender is operating on any of the other speeds. Once you release the M button the blender automatically stops.

NOTE: Do not press the M button for longer than a few seconds at a time.

C 5 To switch the appliance off, when using speed 1, 2, or 3, press the ???O??? button.

Helpful Hints

1The stopper may be used as a measuring cup by placing the stopper upside down in the lid.

2The opening in the lid can be used for adding ingredients while the motor is running.

3Do not let the appliance run for longer than 3 minutes at a time. If you have not finished processing after 3 minutes, switch the appliance off (O) for one minute before you let it run again.

4Pre-cut meat and other solid ingredients into smaller pieces before putting them into the blender jar.

5For optimal blending of solid ingredients, feed a series of small amounts into the jar rather than processing a large quantity at once.

6If the ingredients are still too large or chunky, switch the Blender to off (O) position and then let it run briefly a couple of times by pressing the M (momentary/pulse) button, or turn the appliance off (O), wait until blades stop turning and stir the ingredients with a rubber spatula or reduce the contents of the blender jar and process smaller amounts at a time.

7To crush ice cubes drop them onto the blades through the opening in the lid while the motor is running. Remove the crushed ice when the blender jar is 1/2 full.You may find that using the M (momentary/pulse) button works best.

NOTE: Hold lid in place with one hand while processing ice cubes.

8If you are processing solid and liquid ingredients at the same time, first put the liquid ingredients in the blender jar. Add the solid ingredients while the Blender is running.

Using the Fruit Filter

With this filter you can make delicious fresh fruit juices and cocktails. All pits, skins, and seeds will remain behind in the filter. However, large hard pits (e.g. peach, nectarine, avocado, etc.) should be removed before adding fruit so as not to jam the blades.

1 Assemble the blender jar.

C 2 Place the filter in the assembled blender jar. Make sure that the bottom of the filter is connecting with the internal bottom of the blender jar.

IMPORTANT: Failure to properly insert the filter my cause damage to the filter from cutting blades.

5Add water or another liquid (e.g. for cocktails).

6Put the stopper in place and switch the appliance on. Select the highest speed (3). Let the Blender run for 40 seconds.

7Switch the Blender off by pressing the ???O??? button. Pour out the drink through the spout of the blender jar.

8For optimal results, put the jar with the remaining ingredients back onto the appliance and let it run for a few more seconds.

9 Pour out the rest of the drink.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the filter before you have poured all liquid out of the Blender. If you do, the contents of the filter will fall into the remaining liquid in Blender Jar.

Helpful Tips Using the Fruit Filter

Particularly when you are processing large quantities, we advise that you do not put all the ingredients in the filter at the same time. Start processing a small quantity, let the Blender run for a moment, switch it off by pressing the ???O??? button and then add another small quantity. Repeat this procedure until you have processed all the ingredients.

For Soy Milk

A maximum of 2 oz./50g of dry soy beans can be processed with max. 2 cups/ 500 ml water. Soak soy beans for 4 hours before processing them.

For Fruit Juices and Cocktails

For best results, add approximately 1 1/4 cup/300 ml water (or other liquid for cocktails, etc.) to 5 oz./150g fruit.

Cleaning

1Cleaning of the Blender parts and the accessories is easiest if done immediately after use.

2Never clean the accessories or the parts in the dishwasher.

3The motor unit may be cleaned using a moist cloth. Never immerse motor base in water.

4Rinse and dry each piece thoroughly.

CAUTION: Handle the cutting blades with extreme care and caution.They are sharp and may cause injury.

5 Do not use abrasives, scourers, alcohol, etc.

Blender Jar

6Never clean the glass jar with water hotter than 140??F/60??C.

7Quick cleaning: assemble the blender jar on motor unit and

pour lukewarm water and a few drops of dishwashing liquid into the blender jar.

11Always wait until the motor is off and the blades have stopped moving.

12Unplug the appliance.

13Remove the blender jar and rinse it with clean water.
