Blender Safety
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not put cord, plug, or blender base in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4. Unplug from outlet when the appliance is not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
10. 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.
11. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
12. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter-assembly blades on base without jar properly attached.
13. Always operate blender with cover in place.
14. When blending hot liquids, remove fill cap from lid.
15. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
16. To disconnect, turn the control to “OFF”, then remove plug from wall outlet.
17. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THIS BLENDER IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

Note: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of
personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Grounding-type 3-wire longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised. If a grounding-type 3­wire extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord shall be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the counter or table where it can be pulled by children or accidentally tripped over.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Know Your Blender
As a safeguard against electrical shock this appliance must be grounded while in use. The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper grounding­type receptacle. The appliance has a plug that looks like sketch A. An adaptor, sketch B, should be used for connecting sketch-A plugs to two prong receptacles. The grounding tab which extends from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box as shown in sketch C using a metal screw.

How to Assemble and Use
Operating Instructions
Before starting, make sure that the blender cord is unplugged and that the power switch, located on the middle of the blender base, is in the OFF position.
Check the jar to be certain that the cutting blade assembly, jar gasket, and cutting blade assembly gasket are in the proper positions. (1) Cutting blade assembly must be securely tightened to the jar before placing food or liquid in the jar. (2) Tighten the cutting blade assembly by holding the jar upside down and rotating the cutting blade assembly clockwise.
Place the jar assembly on the blender base so that it is firmly seated and not tilted to one side. Never place the blade assembly on the blender base without the jar being completely assembled and securely tightened.
Add ingredients to be processed, and place lid on the jar. Be sure lid is fully seated.
Be sure the power switch is still in the OFF position, and plug the blender into the wall outlet.
Turn the Speed Control Knob to your desired setting. The speed can be changed at any time during the blending process. For ingredients that require short bursts of power, use PULSE setting.
Always be sure to switch the power switch to the OFF position when you are not blending.
How to Clean
Cleaning
• Before cleaning, be sure that the unit is off and cord is unplugged from outlet.
• Whenever possible, rinse filler cap and lid immediately after processing to make cleanup easier. Do not immerse the motor base in liquid.
• If washing the jar by hand, wash in hot, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. If necessary, use a nylon bristle brush to thoroughly clean the jar.
• Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts.
• Do not fill the jar with boiling water. Do not place any of the parts in boiling water.
• Do not allow the blade assembly in the jar to soak in water for long periods of time.
CAUTION - DO NOT IMMERSE THE BASE IN ANY LIQUID
