IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by

or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

4. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug,

base, or motor in water or other liquid.

5. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or

taking off parts, and before cleaning.

6. Avoid contact with moving parts.

7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug,

or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

8. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not

recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to persons.

9. Do not use outdoors.

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

surfaces, including stove.

11. Keep hands and utensils out of blending 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.

12. Blades are sharp; handle carefully—especially when

assembling, disassembling, or cleaning inside blending jar.

13. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blending jar.

14. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.

15. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade assembly

on base without blending jar or grinding cup properly attached.

16. Always operate blender with lid in place.

17. Do not blend hot liquids in the travel jar or grinding cup.

18. When blending hot liquids in the 32-oz. blending jar, remove

center piece of two-piece cover. Hot liquids may push lid off jar during blending. To prevent possible burns: Do not fill blending jar beyond the 3-cup (710-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.

19. Ensure collar on base of blending jar, travel jar, and grinding

cup are tight and secure. Injury can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.

20. If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched ON (I), switch OFF (O) immediately and tighten jar in collar or on blender base.

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

22. Before plugging cord into wall outlet, turn the control to OFF (O).

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

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

24. 24. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a

heated oven.

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only. Use for food or liquids only.

w WARNING

with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce 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 by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided

Wattage/Peak Power Information

The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an Underwriters Laboratory test and is based on available cutting blade assembly, jar combinations, and attachments 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.

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 appliance. 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.

If the cutting blade assembly locks and will not move, it will damage the motor. Do not use. Call the toll-free customer service number for information.

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

BEFORE FIRST USE: After unpacking blender, wash everything except blender base in hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Wipe blender base with a damp cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE BASE IN WATER. Care should be taken when handling cutting blade assembly as it is very sharp.
