Assembling The HealthMaster

Unwind power cord to desired length. Secure the leftover cord by returning the lever arms back to the OPEN position.

RESET

BUTTON

WARNING:

Do not plug power

cord into electrical outlet until unit

is fully assembled.

This appliance was designed with a built-in power cord storage beneath the base. Store the excess length of cord neatly underneath to avoid accidental tipping of machine while in use. Do not unscrew retaining arms. The arms fold in to release the power cord. When in the OPEN position they keep the power cord securely in place.

Power to unit will not take place unless steps 1 – 7 in this section are followed carefully.

1. Place the motor base on a stable, dry surface.

Figure A

2. Firmly seat the pitcher onto the motor base while aligning the arrowhead symbol on the pitcher with the unlock symbol on the base. (See Figure B.)

Figure B

3. Rotate the pitcher clockwise until the arrowhead symbol on the pitcher aligns with the lock symbol on the base (See Figure C.)… the pitcher will lock into place and engage the first safety interlock. (This appliance is equipped with two Safety interlock switches).

Figure C

NOTE:

At this point you may want to place the ingredients for processing into the unit. Insert ingredients into the pitcher, soft foods first, harder items last. The E-Z Lock Cap can be removed during operation to add additional ingredients or to insert the tamper.

Always replace cap when you are finished inserting tamper or additional ingredients.

4. Insert the E-Z Lock Cap into the Lid

(aligning the Cap’s tabs with the Lid’s slots) and turn clockwise to lock.

NOTE:

While the power is ON and as air pressure inside the Pitcher increases, the Safety Valve will automatically be pushed upward to release steam or pressure. Prior to use, make certain that the Safety Valve is free of any obstruction and moves up and down freely.

Controls

NOTE: This appliance is equipped with two safety “shut off” interlocks that must be engaged before the unit will operate. (See steps 3 and 4).

ON/OFF Button: Push once for ON. Push once for OFF. The button lights up RED when the

HealthMaster is ON.

SPEED Selection: Use the (+) and (-) buttons to select the speed, 1 through 8.

TIME: Use the (+) and (-) buttons to select the amount of time in minutes, 0 through

20 minutes.

PULSE: Press and release to get a single burst of speed for each pulse until you have achieved the desired results. The button lights up blue when activated.

RUN/STOP: Press Run/Stop to start the

HealthMaster. If the speed and timer were not set, the HealthMaster will run at speed 1.

The button lights up blue when activated.

You must press Run/Stop again to stop.

ICE: Pressing the Ice button causes the

HealthMaster to operate on a cycle of one second on and 4 seconds off. The button lights up blue when activated. Press Ice again to stop.

Using the Tamper

The tamper is useful when preparing thick or frozen mixtures.

The tamper can be used while the machine is running.

1. Make sure lid is secure and locked in place.

2. Remove cap from lid.

3. Insert tamper through the opening in the lid.

4. Hold the pitcher handle with one hand, grasp tamper with the other hand.

5. Move up and down or in a circular motion to move contents around the blade.

Tips for Using the Tamper:

When preparing thick mixtures that don’t circulate freely, insert the tamper and move in a circular motion. This will help remove any air or ingredients trapped by the blade. Do not fill the pitcher more than 2/3 full when blending thick or frozen mixtures. We do not recommend using the tamper for more than 25 continuous seconds. The lid prevents the tamper from making direct contact with the blade.

NOTE: In the event the motor overheats during operation it will automatically shut off. To restore power press the Reset Buttton located on the bottom of the unit (see Figure A page 6).

8

Using Your HealthMaster

• Always remove all stems and large pits such as peach, mango, apricot, etc. before processing as these items can damage the blade and cause the motor to malfunction.

• Thoroughly wash all fruits and vegetables before juicing to remove any dirt or chemicals.

• Fruits and vegetables juice best when they are fresh and firm.

• Always serve fresh foods immediately. After just a few seconds they begin to lose vitamin potency.

Using the Simmer/Heat Feature

1. Add liquids first, then carefully add the solids, avoiding splashing that could cause personal injury when liquids are hot.

2. When adding hot liquid to the pitcher, let sit for 3–5 minutes with the cap removed, allowing the steam escape.

3. Secure lid and EZ-lock cap on the pitcher making sure both are in the locked position.

4. Push the ON control button and then the RUN button.

5. Slowly increase the speed control from #1 to #8 (as specified by the recipe). Let the machine run until desired consistency or temperature has been reached. The average cook time is 6–8 minutes on HI. This will vary depending on the texture of the ingredients and the starting temperature.

6. Do not remove lid and EZ-lock cap until the power button is in the OFF position and the unit has been unplugged. Wait for motor to shut off and the blades to completely stop.

7. To open lid, first remove the EZ-lock cap to let steam escape then remove lid.

Making Frozen Blends/Treats

1. To make ice cream and sorbet, add liquids and soft ingredients (i.e. soft fruits) first, then frozen ingredients. In order to make successful frozen treats with the HealthMaster you must always follow the recommended ratio of ingredients. 1 part liquid to 3–4 parts frozen ingredients. Changing this ratio can damage the blades or the motor.

2 . Place the lid on and lock into place. Remove EZ-lock cap from lid and insert tamper. NOTE: You will need to use the tamper to move ingredients around quickly.

3. Make sure the speed control is on HI. Push the ON control button and blend to desired consistency.

9

Chopping with the HealthMaster

The HealthMaster chops food to a fine texture quickly and easily for use in salads, soups, and baking:

1. Place ingredients in the pitcher. Do not fill more than 1/4 full.

We recommend using smaller pieces when chopping.

2. Secure lid and cap.

3. Set to recommended speed.

4. Use the PULSE button until all ingredients have been processed.

NOTE: The speeds are approximate and vary depending on the ripeness of ingredients when using fresh fruits and vegetables.

Recommended Speed Settings For Chopping

• Broccoli #3 –4

• Cauliflower #3 –4

• Zucchini/Squash #3–4

• Hard Boiled Eggs #3 –4

• Olives #2–3

• Potatoes #2–3

• Onions #2–3

• Nuts #3

• Carrots #3 –4

• Mushrooms #2–3

• Breadcrumbs #2–3

Troubleshooting

NOTE: The HealthMaster is a very powerful unit. When operating properly, the motor gives off a loud but smooth sound that changes in pitch as the motor speed is increased. This is normal.

Problem

Motor does not run after ON control button is pushed.

Possible Reasons and Solution

• Check to see if unit is plugged in.

• Pitcher or Cap is not in the “locked” position

• Check if all parts are assembled properly.

• Check if any food is causing blade to lock.

Normal Loud Smooth Sound becomes unpleasant, more pronounced and uneven, producing erratic and sometimes uncontrolled unit vibration.

• Push power button to OFF immediately.

• Unplug unit and check for proper assembly.

• Reassemble and retry unit.

The unit shuts off while in use.

• The auto shut off feature has been activated due to overheating.

• Push OFF button, unplug unit, allow to cool down for 30 minutes.

• Plug unit back in, push reset button beneath base of unit, place upright and continue use.

NOTE: In case of unit “shut off” caused by overheating during operation, press the reset button located under the base of the unit.

Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Press OFF button and wait until the motor completely stops.

2. Using dry hands, unplug the power cord from electrical outlet.

3. Disassemble the machine.

4. Wash pitcher, lid, cap, and blade in warm soapy water. Avoid injury, do not handle blades with your fingers directly. Rinse and dry thoroughly before first use.

5. Wipe base with a soft damp cloth or sponge. Never submerge base in water. Do not spray with water or any other liquid. The motor base is NOT dishwasher safe.

6. Clean all other parts by filling the pitcher with warm soapy water and let the machine run on HI for 1 minute, or simply wash by hand. A mild detergent is recommended. Rinse well and dry thoroughly. All components are dishwasher safe with the exception of the motor base.

Caution: Some commercial and foreign made dishwashers may reach internal temperatures that are higher than machines made for home use by US standards. Do not use these dishwashers with your HealthMaster. The higher temperatures may cause damage to your unit voiding your warranty. Check with your dishwasher manufacturer before using.

7. Make sure base and parts are completely dry before storing in a cool, dry place.

8. Never use abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the main base or any of the parts. This can scratch the finish causing permanent damage.

CAUTION: To avoid personal injury use caution while cleaning inside of pitcher as blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
