● If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer

or its service agent in order to avoid a hazard.

PROTECTED BY A SEPARATE 7.5 AMP OR GREATER CIRCUIT BREAKER
OR FUSE.

Do not use any other electrical equipment on the same circuit as
the blender or you risk overloading the circuit and either damaging
the blender electronics or blowing the circuit protection.

If the blender malfunctions call the service agent rst. If it is dropped
or damaged in any way, return the blender to a Blendtec service agent
immediately for examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment,
or possible replacement.

1.9 NEVER OPERATE IN LIQUID

Do not operate the blender motor in water or any other liquid. Avoid
any contact between the motor and water. Deliberate use of machine

outdoors in conditions where precipitation is present will void the
warranty.

1.10 NEVER PUT ITEMS SUCH AS METAL, ROCKS, OR OTHER
HARD MATERIALS INTO BLENDER JAR

Metal utensils and other hard materials are dangerous. They can cause

injury or damage. Damage caused by such foreign objects will void the

warranty.

The use of unauthorized attachments voids the warranty and may cause

re, electric shock, or injury.
