How to Assemble
IMPORTANT: Your blender jar and
cutting assembly are subject to wear
during normal use. Always inspect jar
for nicks, chips, or cracks. Always
inspect cutting assembly for broken,
cracked, or loose blades. If jar or cut-
ting assembly is damaged, do not use.
Call our toll-free customer service num-
ber to obtain replacement parts.

Place blender base on clean, dry
surface to keep foreign particles
from being pulled up into motor

must lie flat. Set jar on top of gasket
and screw on cutting assembly.
Make sure the cutting assembly is
firmly screwed onto the jar.

making sure it is securely seated.
If not, gently rock the jar until seated.
