IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

1. Read all instructions.

2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord,
plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.

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

4. Unplug cord from outlet when 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 appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in
any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair or electrical or mechanical
adjustment.

7. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recom­mended or sold by the appliance 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, including the stove.

10. Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to reduce
the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender.
A rubber spatula may be used but must be used only when
blender is not running.

11. Blades are sharp; handle carefully–especially when
assembling, disassembling or cleaning inside blender jar.

12. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.

13. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blades.

14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting assembly
blades on base without jar properly attached.

15. Always operate blender with lid in place.

16. When blending hot liquids, remove center-piece of two-piece
lid. Hot liquids may push lid off jar during blending. To pre­vent possible burns: do not fill blender jar beyond the 3 cup
(750 ml) level. With the protection of an oven mitt or thick
towel, place one hand on top of lid. Keep exposed skin away
from lid. Start blending at lowest speed.

17. Screw on jar nut firmly. Injury can result if moving blades
become exposed.

18. If the jar should turn when the motor is switched ON, switch
OFF immediately and tighten jar onto jar nut.

19. Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.

20. To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF. Then remove plug
from wall outlet.

21. Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.

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

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only. Use for food or liquids only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade)

that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polar­ized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug
in any way or using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the haz­ards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over, a longer cord. If a longer cord is
necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the
extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the blender. Care
must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.

Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid. The contents
may freeze and may result in damage to the cutting blades, jar, blender and
possibly result in personal injury.

Wattage/Peak Power Information

The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an Underwriter’s
Laboratory test and is based on available cutting blades and jar combinations
that may not be provided with your unit, but are available as replacement parts.
This is a measure of input wattage/amperes after 30 seconds of operation. The
blender as provided may draw significantly less power.

Peak power is the measure of the motor wattage during the first seconds of
operation. This is when a blender requires the most power to crush ice, frozen
fruit, etc. This is a better measure of what a blender motor can consume when
power is needed most.
