Let a qualified appliance repair person examine and/or repair appliance before using. · To avoid electric shock or serious injury do not use any attachments that were not recommended or sold by the manufacturer. · Do not let power cord hang over the edge of table, counter, or let cord touch hot surfaces such as stoves. · To reduce the risk of injury never place the pitcher on base without properly assembling the unit. JACK LALANNE'S HEALTHMASTER 100 3 Important Safety Information (cont.) · This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify or force the plug in any way. · Never remove the pitcher while the motor is running. Turn the power switch to OFF, wait for the motor to come to a complete stop, remove plug from outlet before removing the pitcher. · Never leave the HealthMaster 100 unattended while in use. · Never add food while motor is running. Turn the power OFF and wait for the machine to stop, then add food and start machine again. · We do not recommend turning the power ON when the pitcher is empty. · Do not block the exhaust vent, this needs to be able to take in air in order to prevent the motor from overheating. · Always use one hand to hold the pitcher handle as this unit operates at high speeds. · Use on a dry, stable surface. · Never put fruits with pits in the Healthmaster 100. Remove pits prior to placing items into the pitcher. · Do not let base rest on the power cord. · The maximum capacity is 64 ounces. Significantly less with thicker ingredients. · Do not fill pitcher more than 2/3 full when using the tamper. · Do not use tamper for more than 25 seconds of continuous blending. · When processing nut butters or foods that contain oil, do not process for more than 2 minutes after mixture starts circulating freely. Over processing can cause the motor to overheat. · Always make sure the lid and EZ-lock cap are fully assembled. The only time the cap should be removed is when adding ingredients and/or using the tamper. Machine should not be running when adding either of these. · Only use HealthMaster 100 for its intended use. Additional Safety Precautions to use while processing hot liquids to avoid serious injury/burns. · Make sure the lid and EZ-lock cap are securely in place and locked when processing hot liquids. This will prevent lid from accidentally coming off once the power is turned ON. · When using hot liquids always start on LO speed (#1). Then increase rapidly to the required speed for that recipe. Use caution when using hot liquids as steam may escape from under the lid/cap. · Always hold the pitcher securely by the handle while processing hot liquids. 4 JACK LALANNE'S HEALTHMASTER 100 Operating the HealthMaster 100 General Instructions 1. Unwind power cord to desired length. Secure the leftover cord by returning the lever arms back to the storage position. W ARNING: Do not plug power cord into electrical outlet before unit is fully assembled. 2. Place the motor base on a stable, dry surface. 3. Attach the pitcher to the motor base by aligning it over the centering posts securing the pitcher in place. 4. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position and the speed control knob is on LO (#1) before inserting the power cord into the electrical outlet. 5. Insert ingredients into pitcher soft foods first, harder items last. 6. Place the lid on the pitcher and gently turn until the lid drops down into the proper position to tighten. Turn clockwise in place until secure. 7. Insert cap into the top of the lid lining up the word "OPEN" into one of the 4 indentations on the lid. Turn 1/4 of a rotation to close. NOTE: This 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 items. 8. After turning the power OFF wait until the blades completely stop spinning before removing the cap, lid, or the pitcher.

The tamper can be used while the machine is running. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Make sure lid is secure in place. Remove cap from lid. Insert tamper through the opening in the lid. Hold the pitcher handle with one hand, grasp tamper with the other hand. 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 stop circulating 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.

Changing this ratio can damage the blades of the motor. 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. Make sure the speed control is on HI. Turn power switch to ON. Blend to desired consistency. 2. 3. 8 JACK LALANNE'S HEALTHMASTER 100 To Make Pure, Fresh Baby Food When preparing fresh baby food always consult with your physician before making any dietary changes for your child. Certain fruits and vegetables are not recommended for infants or young children due to immature digestive systems, allergies or other developmental reasons. Make sure your child gets the purest baby food and juice available, free of pesticides, sugars, salt preservative, and additives. See our easy to follow recipes for healthy, tasty treats for your kids. IMPORTANT: Make sure all fruits and vegetables are completely liquefied before giving them to a baby, as they can choke. The vegetable water must be added to ensure quality nutrients are kept in the baby food. Tips on Preparing Fresh Baby Food · Consult with your pediatrician before introducing certain foods. · To prevent choking, make sure all fruits and vegetables are completely liquefied before giving them to a baby. · Choose bland fruits and vegetables that are easily digested such as carrots, apples, peas, bananas, and sweet potatoes. · Use a vegetable brush to clean all fruits and vegetables before preparing. · Peel all fresh fruits and vegetables before preparing. · Use a blender, food processor, or food mill to blend all cooked fruits and vegetables to a semi-liquid consistency. · Do not add additional ingredients such as salt, sugar, or pepper. These are unhealthy additives that are not necessary in preparing baby food. · Try to choose fresh produce over canned or frozen. Fresh is best. Frozen is fine but canned often has added sugars, salts, and preservatives. · Bananas can be mashed without being cooked. · Always discard unused portion after defrosting any frozen recipe. · Do not leave fresh food sitting out at room temperature for any period of time (more than 30 minutes). It is best to freeze or refrigerate unused portion immediately after cool down. · Use shallow containers with air tight covers when storing fresh baby food as trapped air causes further oxidation. · Thaw frozen foods in the refrigerator. · Once the food has been thawed discard. Do not refreeze. · Discard prepared frozen food after 1 month. JACK LALANNE'S HEALTHMASTER 100 9 Cleaning and Maintenance 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Wash pitcher, lid, cap, and blade in warm soapy water.
