OSTER’S SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR OSTER.

• Ensure fingers are kept well away from the

blades when in use.

• Do not blend warm/hot ingredients. Always

cool ingredients to room temperature before

processing.

• Always operate on a flat surface.

• Take care when removing the jar or during fitting

and removal of blade system, as blades are

extremely sharp.

• Switch off the appliance and disconnect

from supply before changing accessories or

approaching parts that move in use.

Oster is very safety conscious when designing

and manufacturing consumer products, but it is

essential that the product user also exercise care

when using an electrical appliance. Listed below

are precautions which are essential for the safe

use of an electrical appliance:

• Read carefully and save all the instructions

provided with an appliance.

• Always turn the power off at the power outlet

before you insert or remove a plug. Remove by

grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.

• Turn the power off and remove the plug when

the appliance is not in use and before cleaning.

• Do not use your appliance with an extension

cord unless this cord has been checked and

tested by a qualified technician or service

person.

• Always use your appliance from a power

outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on the

appliance.

• This appliance is not intended for use by

persons (including children) with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack

of experience and knowledge, unless they have

been given supervision or instruction concerning

use of the appliance by a person responsible for

their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that

they do not play with the appliance.

• The temperature of accessible surfaces may be

high when the appliance is operating.

• Never leave an appliance unattended while

in use.

• Do not use an appliance for any purpose other

than its intended use.

• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas

flame, electric element or on a heated oven.

• Do not place on top of any other appliance.

• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang

over the edge of a table or bench top or touch

any hot surface.

• Do not operate any electrical appliance with

a damaged cord or after the appliance has

been damaged in any manner. If damage is

suspected, return the appliance to the nearest

Oster Appointed Service Centre for examination,

repair or adjustment.

• For additional protection, Oster recommend

the use of a residual current device (RCD) with

a tripping current not exceeding 30mA in the

electrical circuit supplying power to

your appliances.

• Do not immerse the appliance in water or any

other liquid unless recommended.

• Appliances are not intended to be operated by

means of an external timer or separate remote

control system.

• This appliance is intended to be used in

household and similar applications such as: staff

kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working

environments; farm houses; by clients in hotels,

motels and other residential type environments;

bed and breakfast type environments.

If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance,

please visit www.osterappliances.com.au or contact the Oster Consumer Service Line.

Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.

Cover

The cover for your OSTERTM Blender

consists of two parts, the plastic feeder

cap (1) and the cover (2).

The cover is self-sealing and 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 jar (3) for the Blender is graduated

for easy measurement and is constructed

from 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.

Threaded Bottom Cap

Threaded Bottom Cap (4) with Ice Crush

Blade pulverizes ice for smooth frozen

drinks.

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 (5). 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.

Speed Control

This blender has 3 speed settings: Low

(I)-Med (II)-High (III). Operate at High

on toughest ingredients and achieve the

finest result.

NOTE: DO NOT operate blender at any

setting continuously for more than 3

minutes.

ASSEMBLING YOUR BLENDER

A. To tighten container bottom, put

assembled container securely into motor

base ring with handle and lug in front of

the right stop.

B. Using the container handle, turn

container to the left as far as possible.

This insures that the container bottom

is tightened properly. Remove container

from motor base and mount.

C. To operate Blender, place assembled

container in motor base ring with

container lug against at side of the

motor base stop. If container lug

does not rest against at side of right

stop, remove container assembly

and place against at side of left stop.

Seat container rmly and operate.

D. To remove container, lift straight up.

(If it is not easily removed, rock gently

and lift up, do not twist). If container

bottom cannot be loosened by hand,

place assembled container into motor

base ring with handle in front of left side

stop. Using handle, turn container to

right until container bottom loosens.

Do not attempt to place the container on or

attempt to remove it from the motor base

while the motor is running.

ALWAYS HOLD CONTAINER WITH ONE

HAND WHILE PROCESSING!

TIGHTENING THE CONTAINER

HOW YOUR OSTERTM BLENDER WORKS

Your OSTERTM Blender is a multi-speed appliance which operates on a wide range

of speeds from very slow to very fast. This range of speeds makes food preparation

easy, interesting and fast.

In addition, your OSTERTM Blender has two distinct methods of operation:

1. CONTINUOUS run for blending, liquefying and fine chopping.

2. CONTROLLED CYCLE BLENDING, used for chopping pieces of food, such as

vegetables, nuts or cheeses. There are several different ways of operating the

CONTROLLED CYCLE / BLENDING CYCLE feature, but all involve turning the

motor on and off intermittently.

When on, food is chopped and tossed away from the blades. When off, the food is

distributed around the blades to make processing more uniform.

NOTE: A cycle consists of operating the blender for about two seconds and then

allowing the blades to coast to a stop.

CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR OSTERTM BLENDER

Blender container parts are corrosion resistant, sanitary and easily cleaned. Before

first use and after every use, separate container parts by removing the threaded

bottom cap from the jar, and put the jar, cover, feeder cap, and threaded bottom cap

to clean thoroughly in warm, soapy water then rinse and dry well. Care shall be taken

when handling the sharp cutting blades during cleaning. After cleaning, assemble the

threaded bottom cap on jar properly.

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 an anti-clockwise 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 OSTERTM Blender recommended

replacement parts available at an Authorised Service Center.

USE OF DAMAGED OR NON‑RECOMMENDED PARTS COULD RESULT

IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE BLENDER.

See Page 4 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 SHOULD BE PERFORMED

BY AN AUTHORISED SERVICE FACILITY.
