SECTION 4 - INSTALLATION

Place blender on a ﬂat, clean, and dry surface�

Make sure a plug outlet is available within 2 feet (0�61 meters) of the blender motor

base�

Ensure the unit is turned off before plugging it into a separate receptacle� Blendtec

blenders are produced in either 100/120V or 220/240V power� An appropriate power

receptacle should be used - protection of at least 13 amps for 100/120V units and 6�5

amps for 220/240V�

Make sure the electrical circuit is at least 13 amps or 6�5 amps depending on voltage�

We recommend that surge protection be placed between the receptacle and the

blender motor�

SECTION 5 - CARE AND CLEANING

5.1 AFTER USE CLEANING

1� Turn off main power switch and unplug motor before cleaning�

2� Clean the blender base by simply wiping the base and touchpad with a damp cloth

and water�

3� If needed, the drive socket can be cleaned using a toothpick or cotton swab�

5.2 CLEANING TIPS AND CAUTIONS

▶

Do not use abrasives or stiff brushes to clean the blender motor base or jar as this

will dull or scratch the surface� Cosmetic damage is not covered by warranty�

▶

Do not use a water jet of any kind to clean the blender base�

▶

NEVER submerge the blender motor in water—THIS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY�

5.3 JAR CARE INSTRUCTIONS

▶

After each use, wash the jar and lid in hot soapy water� This can be accomplished by

ﬁlling the jar with 1-2 cups (237 ml) of warm water and blending a drop of dish soap

on low speed with the lid in place for one cycle�

▶

Do not soak the jar in water for any extended period of time as this may shorten the

life of the jar bearing�

▶

If the jar is being stored upside down, shake excess water from the jar so no water

collects around the drive shaft�

▶

The jar may be washed in a dishwasher if placed on the top shelf� It is recommended

the “Heated Drying” option be turned off�

▶

Sanitize the jar periodically by ﬁlling the blender jar with a sanitizer diluted according

to manufacturer’s speciﬁcations� Bleach, properly diluted, can be used as a sanitizer�

▶

If you are not using your jar daily, before each use, reach under the bottom of the jar

and turn the drive shaft for a few seconds� This will help keep the seal in good shape

and prolong the life of the jar� If the shaft does not spin easily, add some hot water to

the jar, then twist the shaft by hand until it begins to spin freely�

▶

Do not place jar onto motor base while the motor is running as this causes the jar

drive shaft to wear prematurely� Shaking or rocking the jar while on the motor base

will also cause premature wear�

▶

Abrasive cleaners or sponges are not recommended as they will dull or scratch the

surfaces of the jar�

▶

To maintain the best seal between the lid and jar, do not store jar with lid in place�

▶

If blending grains, the interior of the jar will fog� This is from grain bursting and will not

affect the integrity of the jar�

▶

Spices and coffee can permanently discolor the jar and ﬂavors may be impregnated

into the jar� We recommend having a second jar for this purpose�

SECTION 6 - OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

Your blender has 25 pre-programmed blend cycles for your convenience, as well as

optional manual controls� A representation of the touchpad controls is found below�

6.1 BEFORE YOU BEGIN OPERATION

1� Turn on the main power switch located on the back of the blender motor base�

2� Place ingredients in jar�

3� Attach the blender jar lid�

4� Place the blender jar on the base, making sure the jar is secure�

6.2 MANUAL CONTROLS

The “START/STOP” button can be pressed at any time to stop the current blender

function�

The “PULSE” button is used when you want to chop, mince, whip, or do other

momentary tasks which do not require a long blend cycle� When the “PULSE” button

is pushed the motor will run only as long as the button is held down� As soon as the

button is released the motor will shut off� The pulse function can also be activated
