OSTERIZER® BLENDER PARTS AND CARE
COVER
The cover for your OSTERIZER
®
Blender consists of two parts, the plastic feeder cap and
the vinyl cover. The cover is self-sealing, and is made of vinyl which is resistant to
absorption of odors and stains. The feeder cap is removable for use as a measuring cup
and provides an opening for the addition of other ingredients.
CONTAINER
The container (Diagram 1, Page 5) for the Blender is graduated for easy measurement
and is molded of heat and cold resistant material. The convenient handle and pouring lip
permit easy removal of liquid mixtures while thicker mixtures are more easily removed
through the bottom opening.
P
ROCESSING ASSEMBLY
The processing assembly consists of three parts: (Diagram 2, Page 5) a sealing ring used
as a cushion between the container and the agitator; (Diagram 3, Page 5) an agitator of
high grade stainless steel; (Diagram 4, Page 5) a threaded container bottom.
MOTOR AND MOTOR BASE
The powerful multi-speed motor is the heart of the appliance and is designed just for this
unit. It is completely enclosed within the housing. The motor uses a “free-floating” feature
to reduce noise and wear. This allows the square post which protrudes from the motor base
to move slightly from side to side. The powerful food processing motor can be overloaded.
To avoid this possibility, closely follow the instructions in this book.
C
ARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR OSTERIZER® BLENDER
Blender container parts are corrosion resistant, sanitary and easily cleaned. Before first use
and after every use, separate container parts and clean thoroughly in warm, soapy water, then
rinse and dry well. DO NOT WASH ANY PARTS IN AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
Periodically check all parts before re-assembly. If the processing blades are stuck
or difficult to turn, DO NOT USE BLENDER. Check by carefully turning the blades
in a counterclockwise direction (opposite edges are sharp). Blades should turn freely.
If the container is chipped or cracked DO NOT USE BLENDER. Further use could result
in the container breaking during use. Use only recommended OSTERIZER

DAMAGED OR
NON-RECOMMENDED PARTS COULD RESULT IN SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY
AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE BLENDER. See Page 5 for proper
container assembly and user instructions. NEVER IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE IN
WATER. The housing can be cleaned with a damp cloth (unplug first). The motor is
permanently lubricated and does not require any additional lubrication. ANY SERVICING
