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 contact with 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. 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 recom-

mended 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 stove.

10. Keep hands and utensils out of the jar and away from the

cutting blade, while blending or chopping food, to reduce the
risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to the blender or
chopper attachment. 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 blade assembly.

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

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

cover. 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. Ensure collar on base of blender jar is tight and secure. Injury

can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.

18. If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched

ON, switch OFF immediately and tighten jar in collar or on
blender base.

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

20. If blender contains food chopper attachment, be certain the

cover is securely locked in place before operating appliance.

21. Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.

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

from wall outlet.

23. 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 by using an adapter. 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.

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 blender 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.

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

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.

and collar in hot, soapy water.
Care should be taken when
handling the cutting blade
assembly as it is very sharp.

Blender Tips

•

To add foods when blender is operating, remove
filler-cap from two-piece lid and add ingredients
through the opening.

•

For best performance, the minimum amount of
liquid needed per recipe is one cup (8 ounces/
250 ml). Add more liquid if food is not blending
properly.

•

If blending action stops during blending or ingre­dients stick to sides of the jar, there may not be
enough liquid in the jar to blend efficiently.

•

Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough,
whip egg whites, grind raw meat, or extract
juices from fruits and vegetables.

•

Do not store food or liquids in the blender jar.

•

Avoid bumping or dropping the blender when
in operation or at any time.
