any drippings in the reservoir beneath the stainless steel drip tray. Again do not immerse the
drip tray reservoir, or any other part of the motor base, into water.

SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR SMOOTHEE-BAR™
BLENDER
Place cover firmly on smoothee maker container before starting, and rest hand on the
container cover when starting and running motor.
Always hold container while processing. If the container should turn when the motor is
switched ON, switch OFF immediately and tighten the container back onto the motor base.
Never run the machine dry, without any ingredients inside.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or countertop or to touch hot surfaces.
Do not leave smoothee maker unattended while it is operating.
If the blades are stuck or difficult to turn, do not use smoothee maker. Blades should turn
freely.
If the container is chipped or cracked do not use smoothee maker. Further use could result in
the container breaking.
Do not attempt to place the container onto, or attempt to remove it from, the motor base
while the motor is running.
If the motor seems to labor when processing of the lower speed, switch to the next higher
speed to prevent overloading the motor.
Do not process mixtures too long. The smoothee maker performs its task in seconds, not
minutes. It is better to stop and check the consistency after a few seconds than to overblend.
Do not overload the motor with extra-heavy or extra-large loads. If the motor stalls, turn off
immediately, unplug cord from outlet and remove a portion of the load before beginning again.
Do not attempt to remove smoothee maker container from motor base or replace it until the
motor has come to a complete stop. Smoothee maker parts can be damaged.
Do not place or store processing assembly on motor base without first correctly assembling to
smoothee maker container. Severe injury can result if smoothee maker is accidentally turned on.
Do not use any utensil, including spatulas, in the container while the motor is running. They
can catch in the moving blades, break the container and cause severe injury. Use only the
smoothee-stick provided.
