IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:

• Read all instructions.

• To protect against risk of electrical shock do not immerse power cord or blender base in water

or other liquid.

• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

• Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

• Avoid contacting moving parts.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance

malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service
number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.

• The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended by the manufacturer may
cause a risk of injury to persons.

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.

• 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 jar properly

attached.

• Always operate blender with cover in place.

• When blending hot liquids, remove center piece of two-piece cover.

• Do not place on or near hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven

• To disconnect, turn the control to off then remove plug from wall outlet

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into an AC electrical
outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other electrical outlet.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF APPLIANCE
WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the
risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable
power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance, and

2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

3

If the power-supply cord is a grounding-type-3-wire cord with a grounding prong on the plug,
the extension cord should also be a grounding-type-3-wire cord.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.
The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding-type plug to fit
the proper grounding-type receptacle. The appliance has a plug that looks like Figure A. An
adaptor, as shown in Figure B, should be used for connecting a 3-prong grounding plug to a
2-ground receptacle. 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
Figure C, using a metal screw.

LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.

2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.

3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.

4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found,
this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced.

5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undo stress on
the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
