SAFETY FEATURES
POLARIZED PLUG (120V models only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug is
intended to fit into a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do
not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
TAM PE R - RE S I S TA N T SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped
with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent
removal of the outer cover. To reduce
the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
attempt to remove the outer cover. There
are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Repair should be done only by authorized
service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord is provided
to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over
a longer cord.
• Keep hands and utensils out of container while
blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to
persons or damage to the blender. A scraper may
be used but must be used only when the blender is
not running.
• Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
• To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter
assembly blades on base without the jar
properly attached.
• Do not blend hot foods/liquids.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• 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.
b) Extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If an extension cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance;
2) The cord should be arranged so that
it will not drape over the counter top or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over.
Note: If the power cord is damaged,
please contact the warranty department
listed in these instructions.
Note: The maximum rating is based on
the personal blender jar that draws the
greatest load (power or current) and the
other recommended attachments may
draw significantly less power or current.
