Insignia NS-BLSS02 Blender To use your blender: 1 Add food or liquid into the glass pitcher, but do not overload. Your blender is meant to process or blend regular, small quantities of food. 2 Press the rubberized pour-through lid firmly into place, then align the two tabs of the two-ounce measuring cup with the two slots on the lid. Turn clockwise to secure in place. Cautions • Never operate your blender without the lid placed on the glass pitcher.
Insignia NS-BLSS02 Blender To use the BLEND feature: 1 Follow the steps under “Using your blender” on page 9. 2 Turn the control dial to the BLEND position. Your blender blends the ingredients on low speed for about two to three seconds, then pauses to let ingredients settle back into the path of the cutting blade. This process continues until you turn the control dial to a different setting or to the OFF position. Cleaning your blender Warning Be careful when you disassemble your blender.

Insignia NS-BLSS02 Blender Dishwasher Cleaning We recommend that you clean your blender by hand. The heat and water pressure in automatic dishwashers can damage or warp some of the blender parts. If necessary, you can clean the glass pitcher in a dishwasher if you remove the pitcher collar, gasket, lid, and blade assembly. To prevent damage, position the pitcher in the dishwasher rack so it will not hit other items during cleaning.
