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. Flashing light indicates ready to operate. Avoid any contact

with blades or moveable parts.

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

plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped
or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement and
repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service
agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a
hazard. Call the provided customer service number for
information on examination, repair, or 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. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a

heated oven.

12. 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
(attachments may not be provided with blender). A rubber
spatula may be used but only when blender is not running.

13. Blades are sharp; handle carefully—especially when

assembling, disassembling, or cleaning inside blender jar.

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

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

assembly on base without blending jar or personal jar
attached.

16. Do not blend hot liquids in the personal jar.

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

18. Always operate blender with lid in place. Open vent area only

for adding ingredients.

19. Be careful if hot liquid is poured into blender as it can be

ejected out of appliance due to sudden steaming.

20. When blending hot liquids, open the center vent lid and close

any edge cover opening intended for pouring. To prevent
possible burns: Do not exceed the 3-cup (710-ml) level. Hot
liquids may push off lid during blending; therefore, with the
protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on
top of the lid, keep exposed skin away from the lid, and start
blending at lowest speed.

21. Ensure collar on base of blending jar and personal jar

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

22. If the jar should twist or rotate when motor is switched ON,

switch OFF ( ) immediately and tighten jar in collar or on
blender base.

Other Consumer Safety Information

This product is intended for household use only. Use for food
or liquid only.

w WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is

provided 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.

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 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, 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.

Wattage/Peak Power Information

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

24. To disconnect cord, switch to OFF ( ). Then remove plug

from wall outlet.

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