IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Shock Hazard

■ Do not immerse this appliance in water or other
liquid.

■ This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade)
that reduces the risk of electrical 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.

WARNING

840141300 Blender 12/20/05 11:23 AM Page 2

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

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

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

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

■ To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blades on

base without jar properly attached.

■ Always operate blender with lid in place.

■ When blending hot liquids:

— Remove center piece of two-piece lid.
— Do not fill blender jar beyond the 3-cup (750 ml) level.
— Always begin processing at the lowest speed setting.
— Keep hands and other exposed skin away from the

cover opening to reduce the risk of possible burns.

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

■ If the jar should turn when the motor is switched ON, switch
OFF immediately and tighten jar in jar nut, Sure Rest™ base,
or cutting assembly.

■ Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.

■ To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF. Then remove

plug from wall outlet.

■ Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only.

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.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION (cont.)

The wattage 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 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 deliver when power is needed
most.

If the cutting blades lock and do not move, it will damage
the motor. Do not use. Call the toll-free customer service num­ber for information.

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