PRE-USE PREPARATION AND ASSEMBLY
Prepare for first use by thoroughly washing the clear glass pitcher and lid, blending blade,
and base, ice tray, clear ice cover and water reservoir in warm sudsy water and
thoroughly dry.
DO NOT put the motor base in water. To clean motor base when needed, using a damp
cloth to wipe exterior should be sufficient, followed by drying with a clean dry towel.
(See Parts Breakdown on page 3).
1.
Check the blending base of the glass pitcher to confirm the mixing blade and rubber
washer are in place and the base has been properly attached.
2.
Set the pitcher lid on the mouth of the pitcher. NOTE: The ice shaving chute goes
up and down to allow for the insertion of the pitcher. Tip the pitcher slightly as you
insert the mouth of the pitcher under the ice shaving chute, pushing upward and
simultaneously set the pitcher base onto the blending gear. (See Breakdown
illustration on page 3)
3.
To remove the clear ice cover, push in the two large tabs located on one side of the
clear lid while you lift the cover out. This allows the two extruding tabs to back out of
their receptor holes in the ice tray. (See photo illustration C, on page 4)
