Place the Blender Jar by using provided slot, so that
the handle of the Jar will be towards the Control Dial.
Make sure that it is fully seated in the Base.
Place the ingredients into jar. Add liquids first, then
soft foods, then leafy greens, and ice or frozen items
last.
NOTE: Do not fill Blender Jar past the top-most
measurement mark.
Firmly, secure Lid and Lid Center Cap in the Jar.
Before operating the Blender, make sure the Jar is
properly positioned on the Blender base.
Then, plug the Blender into a grounded outlet.
Turn the Control Dial from (O) to desired speed for

the jar and the Center Cap locked in place.
